Charm Thai Cuisine now open in former Latitude Eight space in downtown Chandler

Three weeks ago, we told you Thai food was returning to downtown Chandler. Now it’s arrived.

Charm Thai Cuisine, a new restaurant from the owners of Thai Basil, is now open in the former Latitude Eight Thai Grill space.

(Latitude Eight closed last month so the owners could open the much larger Chao in Chandler. Read more here.)

Despite the different name, Charm mostly has the same dishes as Thai Basil, although the list (for now, at least) is much shorter and slightly more expensive.

For example, Charm’s lunch menu has just 11 options, all $8, compared to 22 entrees at Thai Basil, all $6.95.

Charm is open for lunch and dinner weekdays and dinner on Saturday.
