"I?m not sure where the 4.4 stars are coming from .. maybe I ordered the wrong thing? This was not good at all and usually I will try a few things before leaving a review but this was bad! Not tasty at all My favorite Thai restaurant is now under new management and they?ve changed the menu drastically so I?m on a journey to find my new favorite Thai restaurant in Tempe and Thai basil is a hard pass. I?ll start with the positive. The food was ready pretty quickly, if that?s your thing this place is for you. But if you actually like for your food to taste good.. read on. I ordered the drunken noodle with medium spice meaning a little kick but not too much. and this dish came with no spice no flavor at all! I mean these noodles are blander than standing in line at the DMV, blander than sitting in traffic in 106 degree weather (with no A/C) blander than waiting for AOL dial up connection. You get the point. The only flavor I got was that of a dirty wok/pan. An overworked burned wok. Yuck. The chicken was tough and hard to chew. The dish smelled nothing like drunken noodle or Thai food for that matter no scent of Thai basil whatsoever .. now that I think of it it smelled like the hint of burnt I tasted. They also cram all the noodles into cancer containers that create condensation and waters your food down even more, as if it wasn?t bland enough. They are also pricier than other Thai restaurants in the area. That being said.. on to the next! my quest to find a new Thai spot to call home continues ..wish me luck and stay tuned! Side note I went and picked up noodles from another Thai restaurant because I was not eating this and I?ve included a side by side to show the lack of seasoning flavor!"
