Wild Thaiger on North Central Avenue in Phoenix has been a city Thai restaurant destination since it opened, building a menu around the fragrant curries, pad thai, and the authentic Southeast Asian dishes that earn a Phoenix restaurant its loyal following in a market where Thai food of this quality rises above the standard strip-mall Thai options available across the Valley. It appeared in Season 22, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Globe Tasting,” which aired March 13, 2015. Guy Fieri found a Phoenix kitchen doing Thai food from scratch with the spice depth and authentic technique that earns a restaurant its destination reputation across the metro.

What to Eat
The Massaman Curry — a slow-simmered Thai curry with potatoes, peanuts, and coconut milk in the rich, slightly sweet southern Thai tradition — is the curry that earns Wild Thaiger its Phoenix reputation. The Pad Thai with rice noodles, tamarind, and a properly balanced sweet-sour-savory sauce is the Thai classic done with the quality that distinguishes a serious Thai kitchen. The Green Curry with fresh green chile paste and coconut milk is the fragrant, spicy option that earns its own devoted following. Find a Phoenix hotel on Trivago.
