We were driving through from California to Arizona and looked to see what was to eat in Needles and found this to be the highest rated restaurant in the city - reviewers were right! This place is delicious! It isn't the fanciest place by any means but the food is unreal; best thai food I've ever had. The owner is... More

Went to Cook's on our way to the Grand Canyon. Didn't expect much, but the food was very very good, and the owner made the meal especially for us and our likings. Just tell her what you like and she will make it for you. Almost like coming to a private home! Definitely recommended

In a forlorn strip mall, we discovered a new destination for Thai food. Von is the owner and cook and she will discuss what you like, what your heat tolerance is and bring back a Thai masterpiece and at very low price. The ambience adds to the surprise because it is bare bones formica and anything but fancy. Next time... More

Yummy Thai and Chinese food, cooked to your taste by a truly talented chef. Both she and her husband are friendly and warm, making this as good an eating experience as you will find in Needles. Portions are huge, and the only slight negative is the lack of any ambience.

Stopped in for dinner. Soups are very good. All non-fried Thai & Chinese also good. No beer or wine. The food seemed very fresh.

Saw a review on tripadvisor prior to visiting the restaurant and decided to try it on the way back from Flagstaff to Cali. best tom yum soup I've ever had and nice fried rice as well - both the owners were really nice and friendly - don't judge the restaurant by its ordinary-looking exterior!

We were so surprised and pleased to find this little hidden gem in Needles! The food is very fresh and absolutely delicious. The owners are very kind and their hospitality will impress you. My husband and I both had curry dishes which were lovely!

Driving through Needles on our way from California to the Grand Canyon we stopped by this place as the TA reviews looked awesome. Small cosy place on a small corner strip of stores. Like others say, the restaurant itself is not fancy, but the owners (husband and wife) are very friendly. Apparently the wife is Thai, has cooked there for... More

Upon arrival, we were a little put off by the appearance of the place. It was clean, but not too tidy or decorated. However, we had read great reviews, so we forged ahead. Lucky for us!!! This place had terrific food!! The flavor of the won ton soup was incredible! I wanted to try some Thai food, but for simplicity's... More

We live in the SF Bay Area, so we have had lots of excellent Thai Food and this place still impressed the heck out of us. The best Thai Coconut soup (Thom Kha Kai) I have ever had anywhere. Every dish was loaded with clean, authentic Thai flavor. Try the Thai beef salad and red curry, too. The woman who... More
