Sweaty and hungry after a post-work run at the Tempe Town Lake, I was already tired of Mexican food even though I've only been in town for two days. I didn't want to stray too far from my hotel (work to do) and so I fired up my trusty BlackBerry app to see what was around me. But before I could check the results I saw Lao Thai and decided to pull in the parking lot and see what my PHX Yelp peeps had to say. \n\nAlthough the restaurant was almost empty and the area a bit sketchy, it sounded promising and I went on in. The woman behind the counter was immediately welcoming and sensed that I wanted a to-go order (was it the sweaty tank top, shorts, and running shoes that gave me away?). \n\nI perused the menu and decided to order my old stand-by -  Pad Ga Prau with Chicken. She asked me if I wanted the chicken sliced or ground, which was nice, as I really prefer sliced. A few minutes later my food was ready and I sped back to the hotel, barely able to wait any longer to chow down. \n\nEven in a takeout container, the food was nicely presented. The sauce felt really light, not oliy, and the flavor was exactly what I expected from a good Pad Ga Prau. They gave me WAY too much rice so I ended up throwing half of it away, but I found the chicken/veggie portion to be perfect. \n\nI don't feel like I can give it a five star as it didn't knock my socks off, but I would be open to it if I were to find myself here once again and trying some additional dishes.
