Delighted to see a new Thai place in the SW Valley, especially when it received many great Yelp reviews.  Completely disappointed with our first visit.  The 2 stars is, as Yelp states \"Meh.  I've experienced better.\"  That pretty much sums up our feeling about what we tasted.  We didn't hate it nor were we completely grossed out by the food, it just left us entirely unimpressed.  As my husband said \"There is nothing distinct about any of the flavors, it just isn't exciting.\"  We had no complaints about the service and we certainly wish them well, as we prefer to support local businesses, but we hope the food quality will improve.\n\nWe called in takeout for one order of egg rolls, one Pad Kee Moa (Drunken Noodles) with beef, medium spicy and one Kaeng Peg (Red Curry) with chicken, medium spicy.   The gal who took the phone order was very friendly, as were the counter staff when we picked up.\n\nArriving home, we were anxious to dig in.  The egg rolls may have suffered slightly from sitting in styrofoam for the 15 minute drive back home.  The wrappers seemed a bit greasy.  The pork filling, although tasty, was almost too densely packed, it was more like a giant pork meatball encased in the wonton.\n\nWhen I used to work in Tempe, one of our regular lunch choices was either Thai Basil or Thai Elephant (University locations).  Thai Elephant in particular, is the standard to which I judge all red curry here in AZ. As my old carpool friend used to say \"I could drink the red curry sauce.\"  In comparison, I found Thai Gourmet's much thinner and lacking the pronounced coconut milk flavor I've come to crave.  There were also some grease spots floating on the top of the broth.  Further, this red curry appeared to contain nothing but tiny pieces of chicken and onions, whereas Thai Elephant's is chock full of large pieces of chicken and perfectly cooked broccoli, zucchini, bell pepper, baby corn, carrots, mushrooms and onions.  In Thai Gourmet's version, I finally found a couple small pieces of baby corn and thin slices of bell pepper sunken to the bottom of the bowl.\n\nMy husband may be a bit jaded by a recent visit to another Thai place during a business trip to eastern Washington, but he too was disappointed by his Drunken Noodles.  He said they just didn't have the depth of flavor that he's come to expect in good Thai food.  As another reviewer commented, the noodles were broken in small pieces.  The vegetables were skimpy cuts and slightly overcooked.\n\nPerhaps the regular chef called in sick or was training someone new.  Considering any place can have an off night, we may give them one more chance, but this time just split the pad thai and see how they do with that old standby.  Then, if we are again disappointed, at least it will have been a more economical experiment (I hate wasting dollars from our restaurant budget on mediocre food, but I guess at least it makes us appreciate the gems out there all the more).
