What a fantastic little restaurant! The menu is extensive with dishes all over Asia. We ordered a beef Bahn Mi, which was amazing, we also ordered the Sezchuan Chili Chicken...this dish took me back to when I was in China...it was absolutely delicious and nothing compares to it. We also ordered the peanut chicken appetizer, which extremely tasteful and worth it. Our drinks were on oint as well, we had the hibiscus margarita and the Saigon Mojito, it's very difficult finding legitimate Mojitos, and this one greatly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept. Service was great despite being very busy.

Definitely my favorite "fancy" Thai spot. Thai food is already amazing with its complex yet complementary flavors but Miss Phay's elevates it to a whole different level of elegance and ingenuity. There's no weird fusion going on here. They also have some dishes that most Thai restaurants don't offer across the US. The food is still delicious but it's also beautifully plated. Prices are good! The staff is super attentive and friendly. The ambience is quite serene and yet so fun. I honestly don't know what else to say. You just have to try it!

This place came highly recommended. I went in around 8:15 on a Monday night. Despite them closing in less than an hour, I was warmly greeted and given exceptional customer service. I ordered Pad Thai with chicken for take out and had a beer while I waited. The order was very well packaged with presentation in mind, even for a takeout order. When I got back to my hotel, the food was still hot and delicious. Plasticware supplied along with chili sauce and soy sauce. I highly recommend dining here.

One of my favorite places to eat in the Quad Cities. Everything I've eaten here is great and the vermicelli combo is amazing. Our family had friends in town yesterday and this is where they wanted to go. Writing this review is long overdue, but I'm doing so because the service yesterday was phenomenal. Nat went out of his way to make our family and friends feel welcome. Everything was perfect and he played the biggest part in that. Thanks to the staff, especially Nat for such a great experience.

Very cute little locally owned place near Downtown! The music + decor created a nice vibe and the entire staff was very friendly making our time there very enjoyable. The Chicken Pho was amazing! We will be back again soon!

Arrived Sunday as our midpoint of our road trip to Des Moines and stopped in for a quick lunch and we absolutely loved it! The decor is just super cute. Love the colors and so cozy yet trendy and vibrant. A little fireplace with such pretty details. The place itself was worth a trip. Food was good but not spectacular. Service was good and friendly. I will definitely give it another try if we're ever there again.

This was the most well decorated Pho places I have ever been and also had amazing service! The bar was a little slow with our drink orders but it could have just been a busy night. The pho was delicious but I ordered the large noodles which were clumped/ stuck together. I will have to see next time if the smaller noodles have the same issue. The Curry Soup was amazingly seasoned and very delicious as well. The food was a little more expensive then most pho places I have been to but worth it!
