text: It was my first time trying out this place yesterday I was up in Phoenix doing a photoshoot and decided I would go hangout with some friends from Phoenix and go grub My friend suggested this place which is in Mekong Super Market so I gave it a shot To begin with the name really gives off what it really means You are warned by just reading the name and seeing Spices This place can be a bit spicy for those with sensitive mouths to spicy foods The setting of the restaurant is really nice it is well clean and decorated giving that Thai vibe The waiters here and funny and sociable they even cracked jokes which I love Nothing beats be able to have some laughs with other people while checking a new place I went and started off by ordering a calamari appetizer It was alright it was like calamari rings with a spicy sauce for dipping The sauce was a bit creamy with a kick which went well with the calamarinnFor my main entree I went ahead and ordered the grilled shrimp papaya salad I really do not cook much of my own cultural food since I am on a healthy eating diet so my fitness diet just consist of chicken and rice So I do miss food that goes back to my roots and I love papaya salad and the spicier it is the better This papaya salad came with grilled shrimp which I never had shrimp with my salad before so that was a first for me The shrimp complimented the salad very well tasting that grilled shrimp added with the papaya and spice Oh and to mention I got the hottest spice they could put it which they call Thai Spices The food was was great It really was as close to homemade papaya salad that my parents make at home well minus the shrimp But overall it had the right spices and a little bit of sweet taste along with the kick in the face spice Overall I am impressed I would definitely come back here again
