Chanpen Thai Cuisine

As soon as we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere we'd like. Once we sat down a few minutes later, the waitress brought over some cucumber water and vegetable soup. During our visit they had some jazz/ classical music playing which gave off a relaxing vibe. They have a lunch special which runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and we showed up around 1:30 and there were only a handful of people so there wasn't much of a wait before we got our food. The lunch special included an egg roll and some wonton chips, however, the egg roll was pretty small but still good. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and my girlfriend ordered fried rice with beef. They ask what spice level you would like your food and the levels range from one to five, we got our food at spice level 3 but I ordered a side of spice level 4. Level 3 is a pretty good baseline for a spice lover, but once you start moving up to four it starts building up and I can only imagine five is pretty hot. I also ordered a small Thai tea which was a pretty decent size. However, the Thai tea itself was a little bit too sweet but it did help with the spicy. We were going to get sweet rice with mango but the mango was out of season so we just opted for the sweet rice itself which was still very delicious. At the end they asked if we would like some complimentary orange sherbert ice cream which was also very tasty. Overall price and food quantity was very good and I will definitely be returning to eat here again.

Great food! Great service! Authentic. The cucumber water was refreshing! The orange chicken and pad thai was so good! And the ice cream that comes with the food was tasty. Everything is good portions and you pick how hot you want the food.

I usually get roasted duck for my birthday. Any way it's served is fine. But ti decided to have mine with a pumpkin curry, medium heat and I have to say... Best birthday din din ever, so far . The duck was perfect and the skin was crispy, even in the curry. Pumpkin of course is in season so you can't go wrong with it. As we're gonna go get the check, the server brings out some of the sorbet they serve there, refreshing! We will definitely be coming back to check out other dishes they offer.

The food here is great, and the complimentary ice cream after the meal is insanely delicious. The staff all treated me quite warmly, and they accomodated my want for very spicy when I asked. They serve water in mason jars with a slice of cucumber in it, which was nice and refreshing. I ordered the yellow curry and the crab puffs. They do from 1-5 for spicy, and I asked if they could do a 10 for me. They delivered, I was sweating as I finished the curry! I ordered the eggplant dish to go, and that too, was delicious! I just wish that I had takem a photo of the meal at the actual restaurant, because it looked great! I would say this place would be a wonderful spot to have a date with your spouse. I do have photos of the eggplant to go, but it's nowhere near as impressive looking as it is when you dine in.

I ordered the Red curry with beef and basil fried rice with chicken! First time trying this location in Tempe after a 13 hour clinical shift and it was very needed! Great food and great employees! Would definitely recommend anyone looking to try Thai food for the first time!

Chanpen never disappoints, particularly their lunch special. At the beginning of the meal you're presented with a simple, yet tasty cabbage soup. Their options for the lunch special are reasonably priced, and fairly varied. Their newest addition to the special is a small bowl of homemade sherbet, which was absolutely delightful! Overall I would highly recommend checking them out.

Great to find an authentic Thai food place not far from Arizona Mills Mall. Menu has a lot of ingredient details for each dish. I had Pad Thai. Nice wait staff. Certainly going backDine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: Yes

Great place if you are craving for thai food. The tom yum was superb as well as the crab fried rice and chicken satay. Pad thai was okay.

The service was great. I had the stuffed chicken wings super crispy but the inside needed more flavor. I also had a curry it was just ok!

This place was so great! The food was delicious! Really good, fresh pot stickers. The yellow curry and pad Thai were awesome. They also served complimentary soup and ice cream! The service was also great. Friendly staff!
