I've never tried it but I'd like to. Any favorites?

I'm no connoisseur, but I like Thai Flavors a lot.

On the West side, we love ZuZap. Get their delivery about once a week. My fav is the spicy noodle with chicken.

Zuzap, Thai Flavors, and Cool Basil are all the same owners with roughly the same menu. I love all three, but Nut Pob on E14th and Indianola is probably the best I have had in town.

I like cool basil a lot. The spicy edamame is really good.

Cafe Fuzion is good too.

I used to love Thai Flavors, but then the service got slow (no problem with food) and it wasn't a viable lunch option anymore becasue I getting back late from lunch. In the same strip mall (corner of 14th and University) there's a place called Cafe Fuzion which offers Thai food so I tried it. I love it and the service is excellant and fast. I would have no problem recommending both places.

I think King & I on 22nd St in WDM is better than Cool Basil, it's one of my favorite places.

I agree.

I know its in Ames but I really like Thai Spice.

I know its in Ames but I really like Thai Spice.

We love The Spice in Ames too, but feel Thai Kitchen in Ames is better Thai food at a better price.

The Spice is still a much better place for a date or romantic dinner though.

I will agree with Thai Flavors on E 14th north of University.

I've only had the King and I so I cant compare it to anywhere else, but its delicious.
If somewhere is better, it cant be by much. I always get the Spicy Noodle Basil with chicken. And an order of Crab Rangoon. Ive never been disappointed.

For some reason I have never been there.

I think I'm going to give Thai Flavors a try.

Since we were downtown we ended up going to Taste of Thailand. I thought it was very good. I like hot food but damn. I ordered a meal and asked for #3 on the 1-5 hot scale and my mouth burned for about an hour after words.

If you can't handle spicy, you can't handle Thai.... Most of the places in DSM really tone it down.... But when you go to a bigger city and get Thai, you realize how weak the stuff here is....

Here if you can choose 1-5, choose 2 for the curries, and 3 for a rice/noodle dish if you struggle. It's what my wife does

I think there's a Thai Flavors in Ankeny...is that the same as the one on E 14th?
