Okay, so this is officially our favorite Thai place since moving to Phoenix a few months back. Their Thai tea is amazing as is their pad thai and chicken curry. Their fresh rolls are also delicious!!

We stopped here for dinner with friends during a recent trip to Phoenix. We chose it as one of our group is a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives fan and the place had been on the show. It did not disappoint! The food was really delicious. The service was also good. It is relatively small so we did have to wait (not sure if there was a reservation option), but the wait was worth it. The dragon eggz and the mu yang were two of my favorites. I would go again in a heartbeat.

I come here from time to time because I am picky about the drinks they serve. They have a wide selection of drinks but regular brewed iced tea. They have flavored tea which I am not fond of and that is tie breaker for me. I don't like ordering soda but here I have too.Their soups, appetizers, and salads are pretty good. If you like ribs this is the place to try it. Their serving portions is on the small side. I ordered the pad Thai and there wasn't enough noodles in the dish. It was disappointing for me. I'm used to heaping amount of noodles for the pad Thai in other places. I remembered why I don't come here often.The atmosphere is trendy with art on the walls. Didn't hear any music playing. We did have a nice server and with a smile. It takes them awhile to come back to the table. So be ready to order when they ask you for your drink orders.

I've been coming to this place for years but just came back a few weeks back for the first time since COVID. Food is still delicious. As long as the owner/manager is there, can't remember her name, she makes sure everything is on point, especially service and everything coming out of the kitchen. Had the fried mahi curry, volcano wraps, pork satay, fried bananas, and of course sake bombers. Could not find a single thing to complain about. I will always go back to them!!!

Patio dining is great. Food was absolutely delicious! My husband is Thai and he says really good. Will be there again although we live in way north Scottsdale.

My husband brought me here for the first time, he said the food is so great and I am impressed. The only thing that ia missing in the food that I really expected is that the spicy. It's not spicy at all, we asked for the fish sauce with lot of chili and that save the food. I still recommended this place ??.

Perfectly cooked food. Service was great and quick. I tried dragon eggs (both crispy and steamed) for the first time based on the reviews from google. It did not disappoint me. We ordered dragon eggs, Tom Ka Gai soup, Red curry, and Thai sweet tea (for two people). Nothing went wrong. The soups were served in one of a kind of Fire pots, which not only kept the soup piping hot, but made it look incredibly impressive.

We were driving around downtown Phoenix looking for a downtown spot to eat. We stopped at a restaurant but then remembered we had looked up Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives featured restaurants. So we quickly changed our plan and headed to the Wild Thaiger. In our week long trip, this was the BEST food experience we had around Arizona. Here’s why: we ordered the dragon eggs, which were featured on the show. They were even better than we expected. We got half and half steamed and crispy, and ate every one of them. We also ordered a veggie egg roll and the spring rolls, which were fresh and amazing. Since we came there because of the show, we were going to order Guy Fieri’s picks, but we noticed they called their soups Hot Pots, so we decided to order those before ordering Guy Fieri’s picks. The climax of the meal was when they served our hot pots, which arrived in authentic, Thai style volcano bowls, that were warmed by flame. The broths, vegetables, and meats were everything you could’ve imagined and more. We ordered the coconut broth with tofu and veggies and the super soup. Both had different style broths and were equally amazing. The coconut one has the extra punch of flavor. We ate our entire hot pots and didn’t order anything else since we were so stuffed! They also had authentic Asian beer choices, which was cool. We spoke with the waitress about DDD and she gave us a lot of good information about the restaurant, the show, and the surrounding area. The service was incredible, excellent, A+! If you haven’t been to Wild Thaiger in downtown Phoenix, then you don’t know what Thai food is!

My husband and I have been coming here for years and we always enjoy the dragon eggs and chicken pad Thai. We usually enjoy a Thai tea but today I tried the lotus cocktail and it was strong.
