Soi 4 Bangkok Eatery

Great atmosphere with a few different, but yet delicious, Thai food! Our waiter was awesome (very attentive and gave us good recommendations) so we loved the service!

This place was really good and my best friend is Thai so I get authentic Thai frequently.
We had the corn cake appetizer, I had lightly breaded prawns, friends had: shrimp appetizer, tofu with green beans, & crab fried rice. Everything was very good and very well seasoned/​flavorful!

The restaurant is nice, the service is really good, and the food is pretty good. My favorite so far (from a past visit) was the Kang Makeur (eggplant stuffed with chicken in cabbage served with a green curry sauce). Today I ordered delivery and am disappointed with a few things. I ordered the Roti Bread ($ 3.50) and received a small warmed flour tortilla cut into 4 pieces. The taste was decent, but honestly, it should have been 35 cents. Don’t bother. The Gai Pik-​Khing (crispy chicken w/​green beans) has a fairly decent flavor, but the chicken is far from crispy and I think I may actually need to cook it a bit longer. It seems underdone. The
Pad Ke Mao (wide rice noodles and skirt steak pieces) is pretty good. The steak could stand to be a smidge more tender, but the noodles are perfect and so are the spices. All in all, the food is fine, but not really worth the prices they charge. We dropped $ 40 for lunch on 2 entrees (one with jasmine rice) and a tortilla. Maybe they should consider rolling out a lunch menu for delivery.

Had dinner there tonight for the first time. The place was not too crowded so we had very good service. We loved our food. We had the wrapped shrimp appetizer, shrimp and eggplant dish, the skirt steak entrée, and a chicken dish. All were delicious!

Visiting from New Jersey with a few golf buddies and we were excited about hitting up a nice Thai restaurant while on our golf vacation. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark by a long shot. I’m in the hospitality business myself, so I don’t ever want to hurt another business so I’m doing this in the spirit of trying to be helpful.
It all started out well… a very friendly waitress and prompt seating but it all went downhill from there. My buddy orders a rum and coke and comes out with virtually no alcohol in it (a very light pour).
Then we decide to order dumplings only to hear they have run out of dumplings. A Thai restaurant on a Sat night at 8PM running out of dumplings… unacceptable.
Then my buddy and I order the whole red snapper only to have the waitress come back a half hour AFTER we place our order to tell us «sorry, we’re also out of red snapper». Again, for a Thai restaurant to be out of one of the main staples of Thai cuisine on a Sat night is just off and for the waitress to not know they were out or to not come back 5 mins after us placing the order is also unacceptable.
We then wait an inordinate amount of time for our food order to come out with the place not being all that busy and sadly, most of the food was rather uninspired or uninteresting.
The other bit of strangeness was that there was a basketball game on the TV while we’re eating. In comes a group that I believe was friends or family with the owners. How sweet I initially thought until this group and the place suddenly morphed into the equivalent of a sports bar with cheering, yelling and jumping up and down. I didn’t come to a Thai restaurant to have my meal and conversation interrupted by a basketball game or cheering fans.
To be honest, the waitress was all smiles all evening and I appreciated that but something was just off here. At a minimum they should have offered us a round of drinks or «made it right» by giving our table a free dessert or something, but what concerned me here was that the waitress was generally unaffected by what was going on which tells me this was just a normal night for them.

Soi 4 is a highly polished Americanized Thai restaurant that sports nice ambiance and offers up some very nice presentations but is not very authentic and by no means out of the ordinary. They have an original location on the Rockridge district of Oakland where inside to live and that place was somewhat better actually.
I lived in Bangkok for a long time. Soi 4 has some of the polish of the newer more upscale Thai restaurants in Bangkok but offers little of the authenticity. Tom Yum very weak. And they cook without fresh Thai chili peppers? Really? Dissapointed. To be clear, not bad food, just not the real deal I was hoping for.

Nestled away in the Shops at Gainey Village in North Scottsdale you will find this amazing Thai restaurant. Walking in it feels more like a trendy eatery than a traditional Thai restaurant with its dim lighting from large overhead lantern-​shaped lighting fixtures and light modern music playing in the background. The dining area is filled with modern tables made of wood and metal with additional seating in a loft on the second floor, which appears to be for large group meals. Glancing over you can see a flat screen television playing a college football game situated behind the full bar. The most interesting part of the environment is the attire of the customers as there does not appear to be a specific dress code required to dine here. There are people arriving fresh from work in collared shirts with ties, but also women in leggings and over-​sized sweaters.
Happy hour runs from 5pm to 6:30 and they offer discounted cocktails, beers and house wine, as well as a variety of starters for $ 5. The menu itself is fairly large with choices in rice & noodles, meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. All of those entrée categories has a variety of options to choose from. We ordered a variety of items in order to have the best experience possible. We started with fried calamari with a sweet Sriracha chili vinaigrette, served with some stir-​fried vegetables on top. We both enjoyed the flavors of combining everything together in a bite. It was just spicy enough that it gave it a kick, but did not take away from the other flavors. For our main course we ordered a few different dishes to share. Crab fried rice (kao pad pu), slow braised beef short ribs in kaffir lime leaves and ‘panang’ curry (panang neur), and spicy wide rice noodles w/​skirt steak stir-​fried with basil, garlic, and chili (pad ke-​mao). The flavors of all these dishes was authentic and we absolutely enjoyed every item that ate. The serving sizes are just enough, but because they are so flavorful it leaves you wanting more.
The food at Soi 4 was consistent with traditional Thai flavors such as coconut, garlic, lime, and chili sauce. Many of the items were served in different types of curry sauce. The cooking styles of many of the items was stir-​fried, wok-​fried and pan-​seared.
We had a great experience at Soi 4 and will be returning again. The service is welcoming and the vibe in the restaurant is relaxing. There are so many items on the menu that I wanted to try, so I look forward to going back and sharing some other new dishes. I highly recommend people come here to try the food. There are some many options available that anyone can eat here. Plus, the flavors are delicious and dishes are sharable, so bring a friend or two when you go.

Food was pretty good but the service was soooooo slow. Granted our group had 15 people but still it was pretty bad.
My wife and I both had the sea bass which was great… you can even spice it up with some peppers if you like (which I did).
However my friend who sat next had to send his sea bass back after a few bites when he discovered it was pretty under cooked. His girlfriend found a long black hair in her dinner (and sent hers back to the kitchen as well).
To add insult to the slow service and food issues, the restaurant charged my friend (who made the reservation) a «cake service charge fee» of $ 22.50 for us to cut and serve the cake that somebody brought for our friend’s birthday. This was clearly the restaurants misguided way of «thanking» that person for bringing a large group to the restaurant and ensuring we won’t EVER go to Soi 4 again. (See picture that shows the «cake service charge»…unbelievable).

I was passing through the area and needed a break from starvation and congested traffic. I wanted Thai food and stopped by. The service was friendly and polite, and I ordered the $ 7 curry lunch special which was quite tasty. Presentation is more in tuned with what I’m use to and I find the ambience very much to my liking, and not at all reflective of the rampant redneck, white supremacy worshipping atmosphere of AZ, esp. Scottsdale. I’m from a much more culturally diverse and urban city (Los Angeles) so I found this restaurant as pleasing; a haven against the suburban wasteland of stay at home stepford housewives and their stupid, spoiled kids.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. I ordered the papaya salad and it was wonderful, although next time I would opt for no shrimps because the surcharge for adding shrimp was $ 4 and you only get 3 medicore pieces. so that was a bummer. Other than that my entire party really enjoyed their food here. My bestie commented that although the place was good, it was a little too americanized for her taste which I could definitely see where she is coming from, nonetheless I enjoyed my salad and would come back to try more dishes.

I took a friend to Soi 4 yesterday and had another nice meal. Every time I visit Soi 4 I enjoy their food-it’s flavorful and the interior of the restaurant is really pleasant. The only thing negative I can say about this place is the service is often slow. Yesterday we had to wait quite a while before our server approached us to take a drink order, and no one else was in the dining room yet because it was very early.
Bottom line: delicious Thai food, great cocktails, somewhat inattentive service

(Lyrics — Murray Head — One Night In Bangkok)
One dines at Soi Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the drinks ain’t free
You’ll pick a rice with every entrée plate
And if you’re hungry then the get a small plates please
I can eat my eggrolls and the Unilocaling is up to me!
I’ve been here several years ago and back then I totally dig this place. Needless to say, I still dig this place!
The restaurant is very well laid out and beautifully put together. Service here is top notch and very helpful. For our food we ordered the Calamari to start. Overall, plating here is not lacking in any way and let’s just say and the calamari itself was very meaty and crunchy atop a bed of grilled onions and carrots. I didn’t really care for the sweet and sour sauce it came with but that’s just me. For my entrée I went for the BBQ chicken with green papaya salad and rice. Needless to say, I was surprised to see it was half a chicken served with side of salad and rice. Chicken was cooked to perfection and I had to bring half of it home. I think next time I would have ordered something else like my two friends who ordered the Salmon served with red curry and crispy catfish with vegetables. My favorite was probably the catfish; crispy to the bite and with a hint of curry spice and ginger. The salmon was different cause I’ve never had it served with red curry, but it totally worked.
In the end, Soi 4 Bangkok Eatery is a must go if you’re interested in traditional and new school Thai style cuisine. Beautiful setting with good eats! — Enjoy!

I’ve only ever gotten takeout or DoorDash at Soi 4 and it’s always been lick-​your-​plate-​clean gooooood! I would classify this place as «Modern Thai» it’s not trying to be authentic and their interpretation is done oh so well. I’ve tried the Khao Soi lunch special, the Bamee Talay, Gai Tai-​Krai and the Panang Nuer. Everything has always been cooked perfectly and tastes amazing even after sitting in takeout containers for 15−20+ minutes. I’m overjoyed that they offer Khao Soi which is a Northern Thai dish, it’s one of my absolutes faves and is very hard to find in Phoenix. The Panang Nuer which has melt in your mouth braised short ribs is another must have dish. Each dish I try from here has been better than the next. I will have no problem eating my way through their menu and continuing to try new dishes as it seems you really can’t go wrong here.

My favorite Thai food that I’ve eaten in the area so far. Some competitors around botch simple dishes.
I get the bento for lunch but I’m always too full to finish the entire thing. You get an appetizer, salad or soup, and a choice of three meals.
Tom yum soup is great. Sweet, sour and hot.
Also I love the flavor of the green curry catfish.
My favorite thing about this restaurant is when you ask for hot sauces you get many options: you get paste, chili powder, pickled jalapeños and Thai Chili’s in fish sauce. All very good.
Happy hour is all week. I need to come back for dinner service sometime!

This is my favorite thai food in Arizona. I have been here a dozen times, each time trying something new. I have not been let down yet. Of course, some
Dishes stand out more than others. My favorites are:
1. Pad Thai
2. Yellow Curry
3. Eggplant Wrapped Chicken
4. Lemongrass Soup
5. Coconut Rice
You can’t go wrong with any of the things listed above they are amazing. I recommend getting the coconut rice no matter what, it’s awesome!

Because this place is so close to my home and my office, and is reasonably priced, I’ll give it another try in the future. But for my first visit, I wasn’t bowled over. The décor and atmosphere of this place is great. No complaints there. Our server was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there either. But I ordered the Pad Thai for lunch and while it tasted good, I was seriously disappointed to receive a HUGE serving of rice noodles but only THREE medium sized shrimp in the entire dish! Honestly, a serving of noodles that size should have had double that amount of shrimp.
Hopefully they’ll do better on my next visit or there won’t be a third!

The atmosphere and service was great. The vegetable ingredients were of a high quality. Food concept and menu choices were on point. This place just needs improvement on execution. Here is how they fell short.
#1. When the server delivered our food, her thumb was directly on the inside of all of our food plates. This is a huge, no, no…
#2. Portions were extremely small. I understand «lunch size» portions, but I saw the disappointment on all 6 of my male coworkers faces when their dishes were set in front of them.
#3. I had the Pad Ke-​Mao. Pictures looked great on other Unilocal reviews. My disappointment came when I had a dish of over cooked, soggy noodles set in front of me. Bummer right? The skirt steak, we all know, is not one of the better cuts of meat, but it shouldn’t end up in your napkin because you just couldn’t chew it any more.
Would I go back? Yes. I think maybe they had a bad day. It happens. This place would have rocked if the portions were a bit bigger and the noodles cooked properly. They had a super tasty condiment selection with little peppers in vinegar and other chili and pepper pastes as well. I will probably try happy hour next time.

Had pineapple fried rice and Iced Thai coffee! So tasty, friendly staff, and cool/​relaxed atmosphere.

We were a group of 9 girls on a bachelorette trip in Scottsdale. After eating out the typical Western diet, we wanted some Southeast Asian food. I didn’t have high expectation since there is not a large Asian community in Scottsdale. I’ve worked in a Thai restaurant before and the food was actually authentic and delicious. They even offered a few original dishes that I’ve never tried before. I loved their take on the Thai BBQ chicken. There was so much flavor and it wasn’t dry at all.
The wide rice noodle and Phad thai were both on par. They were delicious and we ate the whole thing.
The only dishes I found below my standards was the papaya salad and larb gai. I felt that both lacked flavor.
Service was great and speedy. Our food arrived quickly and were were out the door in no time.
If I was ever back in Scottsdale, i’d definitely return.

I found soi 4 bankok on Unilocal,and chose this place for a celebration, because the of the decent reviews and ambiance. I mean most of the thai restaurants out there are the typical place you want to take out from… not spend a nice dinner at. So with that being said, the décor was the reason for us choosing this restaurant, and it did not disappoint.
I came here with another couple, and had wonderful service… however the food fell short. We ordered the calamari and the tiger prawns as an appetizer to split. The calamari was decent, but there were only about 8 pieces and fairly large in size which caused it to be slightly on the chewy side. It came with siracha dipping sauce and freshly sauteed veggies. It would have been nice with a sweet chili sauce or something more to dip it in. The veggies, however were scrumptious! Id order the meal with out the calamari just for the veggies.
The tiger prawns were delish. Crunchy, fresh and definitely worth eating again.
We ordered the pad thai, the pork w veggies, and the seafood yellow curry. The pad thai was a little on the sweet side, but definitely decent. The pork was ordered as a thai hot, and left my husband adding more spice to it. The seafood yellow curry was the most disappointing… it was supposed to include shrimp, scallops, calamari and crab. It pretty much consisted of too much calamari, some shrimp, lots of hard to eat greens and nothing else. I even had to ask the waitress if the kitchen forgot the scallops… there were none in sight! And after the already chewy calamari appetizer, i was regretting my selection with plenty of it in my dish. As for yellow curry, i think it was a soy-​based curry sauce… not a usual authentic yellow curry im used to w thai cuisine.
The mango sticky rice was a must order, but id skip the fried bananas.
Overall, i want to like this place, and i think i would try it again, but order something totally different.
