This place sports a selection of salads, soups, fried rice, noodle, curry, and pho dishes. The way their entrees work is that you can add pork, beef, shrimp, or fish for an extra $3. The service was friendly, but the quality of food was barely above average. It's more like you pay between $15-$18 but the dishes aren't that large. Finally, they charge you a fee for using a credit card. read more

My hubby and I have been here twice now, and it's worth coming back again a third time. First time I had the Yellow curry with Veggies. 2nd time we did a lunch special and I had the Thai Panang curry and it was also really yummy. We also shared an order of crab wonton which we liked. My hubby loves their Drunken Noodle. For its category, this restaurant does a solid job. I would give it 5 stars except for the soup that came included both times with our meals was thin, sparse and not a lot of flavor. (I think if you ordered an entree soup, it would hopefully be more robust. We'll come a third time and I'll try an entree soup.) The place is clean and hasn't been busy when we've been there. We were given excellent service both times. Side note: CLIPP.com has a special offer where you pay $15 for $30 worth of food. We've used this offer both times, otherwise we probably would never have tried it, let alone known about it. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Yellow Curry with Vegetables (Sorry - I forgot to take the photo before I started eating!) - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Where's the beef!? I've never seen Thai food so lacking in actual protein. Ordered the shrimp spring rolls and there were 4 small barely perceivable pieces of shrimp. And the pad Thai with chicken. Had a very hard time finding that too. They did add a large portion of Tofu that I didn't order. Went there on a Groupon. So the food was half price, which was about double what it should have been cost. First time being at Thai place that I just didn't like. read more

Very friendly staff and nice facility. Waitress answered all of our concerns and offered 2 gluten free options. We chose the pad Thai with chicken and no tofu or spice. Looked very nice, but the sauce left a heavy lemon pasty aftertaste which we did not like. We did get to go boxes, so it wasn't horrible, but not great. Would we come again? Probably not. Clean and pleasant restaurant helps. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner celebration to accommodate for our group's dietary needs which this place was perfect for. Inside was clean and not busy so we were seated and taken cared of quick. Waitres was friendly and nice. Helpful too with deciding on what to get. We ordered spicy noddles, peanut curry (medium spicy for flavor), and the chef's special char grilled pork w/ spicy chili sauce and jasmine rice. We also had the thai tea with the yelp check-in. Food came out hot and portion size was fitting for price. The pork could've been less overcooked, as it was a little tough, but it was still good. Next time, we might just get the spicy noodles and peanut curry. It was so good over rice. Pork was little pricier. Overall, it was a good experience and tasty. Would recommend, wouldn't mind coming back. But fyi there's a party fee if you're a big group. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I had a lunch date with my mother and daughters yesterday. We ordered quite a few dishes to share. We ordered spicy noodles, crab rag-goons, spicy salad, the fried rice and chicken as our protein, some pork ribs, and the seafood dish. It's hard to say which was my favorite because it was all so delicious. Chefs kiss! The staff and service was awesome as well. Oh and they give you great portions and it's not too pricey. We will definitely be going back! Well deserved 5 stars read more

I almost feel like I shouldn't write this review so I can gatekeep this restaurant...I've been here twice and both times were super pleasant. The food is delicious and very cheap! It's great value for the large servings that you get. I love taking people here because it's not too loud or busy. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant, the kind you need for a local Thai spot. In the past I have tried the green curry, the yellow curry, the bbq chicken, and more. All of the dishes have been tasty and authentic. They only have one type of beer but Singha is good anyway. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Photo inside the restaurant - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

The curry I ordered was decent. The rice that came with it was cold like it was refrigerated overnight cold and hard. Ok I've had many pad Thai in my life span and they were flavorful and on the sweet side. This one on the other hand was sour. I thought that maybe they squeezed lime in it but I kept digging for the source and the tofu I bit into was sour (spoiled) they also used bean sprouts that could've contributed to the sour taste of the dish overall but I've had enough and didn't want to risk exploring this mystery dish. I would've given this place a better review but I am not a big fan of places that serves food that are spoiled. Getting food poisoning is not fun and could kill someone. Place needs food quality control. Don't try to save a few bucks and risk getting people sick not worth it! read more

I used to come to this location when it was Thai Basil. Now it's 5 R Cha Thai and I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, not much has changed, same decor, basically the same food, which is a good thing as this was always one of my favorite lunch spots in this area. So far I have had the Pad Thai and the Panang Curry, both were great. Very good service too. Lunch specials run $12-$14 depending on what protein you choose. read more

I love 5R CHA their curry wontons are my fave fave fave I will legit order 1 order at least for the table and 1 to go lol. Their curries are great and Thai sausage is so good read more

Thai food so good I was tongue-Thai'd! It was a first time for us and not sure what to expect. Almost wore my suit and Thai but decided not to :p We arrived and had no reservations but it was ok since it was not completely busy. Had we come 30 minutes later, would have been slightly different. Got jumping busy and after tasting the great food, can see why. Also they have countless to-go orders, people coming in for take-away. Here's the skinny on the food: Photos speak a thousand words. So please take a gander after reading. Because it was Happy Hour, a mandatory smile came upon my face. Began with Singha Thai beer. Cheers! Went on to order veggie spring rolls with sweet chili sauce. Nice. The fried tofu was crispy delicious. Both of these came out piping hot straight from the kitchen. Panang Curry-Ordered with chicken and was tasty however a bit too much peanut taste and sweet for me but still good. Papaya salad with shrimp- Now we're talking! Tangy and well made. Shrimp so big that should not be called shrimp! Green Curry-Tender pork with a sauce that had some kick with excellent spice taste. This was my favorite even though it was a bright green color. Yummy beyond. Pad See ew ordered with beef and stir fried with marvelous noodles. Next time I'm not sharing this dish. I want one for myself. The grand finale was a warm Sticky Rice with Mango and brought it all home! The aroma was amazing. So much so, that the table next to us immediately placed an order. Please see photos of the formidable dishes. Service was more than competent even though one waitress took care of the entire place! Whenever we needed help, one glance was all it took. Thank you! Plenty of Parking as the restaurant sits on a strip mall. As always, thank for reading! Happy eating! read more

5 R Cha Thai - Drunken Noodles - Yummy - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Great lunch special! Came here for lunch on a Monday and it was $7.99 for soup, a spring roll, rice, and a large entree that was any curry, noodle, or sautéed dish on their menu. I had the Pineapple Curry which first off is one of my favorite Thai dishes and I feel most places don't serve that, so it's a huge plus that they do. It was very tasty. I got it medium spicy and it was realllllly good. It had a nice kick but my mouth wasn't on fire at all, I probably could have gone one level up I think so if you like spicy you can probably level up. The spring roll was great and service was friendly. Knocked off a star because the soup was kind of cold, and I usually reserve 5s for mind blowing experiences. While Thai basil is good, it's definitely and and not quite a 5 for me - but definitely a great spot in the neighborhood where you won't be disappointed. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Pineapple Curry lunch special - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Go elsewhere. Formally know as Thai Basil, this new place is a must not try. Drunken noodles were a pile of mush and minimal flavor. Pad pik king was almost good, barely any meat, the sauce was pretty mealy and gritty from blended up ginger, made it unpleasant. Only dish that was decent was the panang curry. read more

Think they changed hands here. Asked for mild spice and got NO spice. Ordered sticky rice with mango and it was like two tablespoons of rice and very tiny mango. Sadly I will never be back again. read more

Came here for lunch during the work week. The service was really quick, which is perfect for a work lunch break. I got the pad see ew with tofu and medium spiciness - I liked it, but it wasn't my favorite. The lunch specials come with an egg roll and a small bowl of soup - really great deal for $8 (pre tax and tip). TIP: Check in to get a free thai tea drink! I checked in but put my phone aside for the rest of the meal and didn't see the check in offer! read more

We had dinner here with family tonight and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered spring rolls and edamame as an appetizer. Husband ordered drunken noodles and I had the spicy noodles. Kids ordered fried rice and grandma had a beef dish. Everything was really good!! It was my MILs birthday today and the restaurant staff had no issues with us bringing a birthday cake with us so we can celebrate her birthday, which was great. They even provided us with plates and a lighter so we could light the candles. Everyone was super nice read more

5 R Cha Thai - Spicy Noodles - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

What on earth did I just eat. This abomination of food should not be considered thai cusine let alone food. The pork that was used had gone rancid and all they said was it's so much food that they did not want to waste it . Plus the waitress was constantly coughing and sneezing on everyone's food. It's this callous attitude that maintains the pandemic as well as the spate of just terrible overpriced food. read more

As always, I ordered pad Thai with chicken. Same delicious noodle dish as all of the other locations! Unfortunately my sister's order came with chicken instead of tofu in the pad see ew she ordered but luckily she's not a vegetarian! The food was piping hot when we ate after picking it up. I love how they always add a slice of lime and peanuts in the food, but I would LOVE if they also added cilantro. Hint hint. Lol regardless Thai Basil is great with consistently dishing out delicious food. read more

Good food. Great customer service. Got the lunch special 11-3pm love the curry here.

Amazing food and great staff very friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend the mood is also very nice.

Well, Thai Basil is gone and this place doesn't even come close. I'd go one star but gave them two since they are friendly. And let's be honest, Thai Basil and Sasi set a high bar. Food was mediocre and they got mine wrong. Won't be back. read more

Great service, delicious food and decent prices. There's a lot to like. I always get the pineapple fried rice and then mix up my other dish but have never been disappointed. read more

Ordered panang curry with tofu as Togo on a weekend. The flavor hit the right spot and the portion was good too! The texture, amount of peanut and flavor of the curry was so so right that I'm glad I finally found a place I can be a regular at for curries atleast in this area! Extremely happy that I picked this place! Will definitely return for some more curries & I cant wait to try their noodles. read more

We go here quiet often as a group from the office. The food is fantastic and the service is great. They even give you a little soup as a starter. Only downfall is the automaticity added tip of 18% if your group is bigger than 4 people. So if you are not paying attention you easily end up tipping 48% read more

Good food and service. We ordered Green Curry (vegetarian). The taste was delicious and we only had to wait for 5-10 mins.

You charged $3 for prawns/shrimp but there was not a single prawns/shrimp in my order. It will be more pleasant and welcoming if you could smile just a little. read more

We went to dinner at this location the other night, after having been to the one on University Blvd a few different times now. Everything was alright but the food definitely didn't have the same flavors as the other place. We ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, the Massaman Curry with chicken, and Cashew Chicken. The Cashew Chicken was probably the best thing that was served. It sauce was flavorful (even though it was a bit on the salty side) and tasted good with the vegetables & side of rice. I ended up getting the Massaman Curry due to the recommendation of our waiter, but in hindsight, I probably would've gone with the Panang Curry instead. And just a note - even though we ordered everything at medium spiciness, it was a bit more towards the hot side, but we didn't mind. We rounded out our meal with some dessert - the fried banana ice-cream. It was a huge disappointment and I will definitely never be ordering it again. The fried bananas were way too oily and not very tasty at all. The ice-cream was just okay, nothing special. Overall, everything was just alright. There's another Thai restaurant just up the road that offers a more tasty selection of foods so I just don't really see myself going back here. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Lunch specials included this yummy green curry.. Omg!! - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I had the pineapple fried rice and the pad thai. The pineapple fried rice had a curry flavor with raisins and cashews. The pineapple slices were fresh and not canned. The pad thai had the brown sauce on it instead of the orange sauce I like have seen at other restaurants. The brown sauce seems to have a stronger fish sauce flavor. The chicken was not dry. read more

I have been to Thai Basil several times, mostly during lunch. Their lunch menu is very reasonably priced ($7.99), and their lunch hours are quite late (till 3:00 PM), which makes it a very attractive place for me to visit from work. I have tried most of their lunch menu items, my favorite being the drunken noodles with chicken and vegetables. I like the proportion of meat to vegetables they provide, as well as the fact that they serve soup before the meal. I have found the quality of food to be definitely above average, but I have certainly tasted better Thai food. The service is always prompt, and the people are friendly. I will certainly continue to go there for lunch, and would recommend this place to anyone looking for reasonably priced good quality Thai food. read more

There are several Thai Basil restaurants in metro-Phoenix, although they're not all necessarily part of the same chain. I've been to one in Phoenix, one in Tempe, and this one in Chandler, which I've been to most often because it's close to my house. I've had a good experience at every visit. Tonight we both ordered panang (peanut curry) with chicken and shared spring rolls as an appetizer. The food was served quickly, and the waitress was attentive but not overbearing. Our entrées, served with a bowl of white rice for each, were tasty but spicier than usual. We both ordered medium spicy, but within a minute I started sweating and his nose started running. I know people who eat at Thai restaurants for the drenched-in-sweat experience, but that's not for me. Still, 5 stars because I know their medium spicy (normally) is medium spicy. read more

Absolutely incredible food!!! I have been looking for a good Thai restaurant, and this is one to beat! Great prompt service, excellent food! Absolutely the best food I have had in years. I ordered a 3 heat, medium. And it was phenomenal. Just enough heat for it to be tasty, and not too much heat for it to burn your mouth, and everything else.... I would Highly recommend Thai Basil!!! read more

Great Chicken Pad Thai. Loved they had peanut sauce. Will return even though its a drive from my place.. Wish the portion was bigger.

I come here for lunch once a week usually. Service is always prompt. Service is always friendly. Food always come out hot and fast. The lunch menu is $7.99. After tax and a $2 tip it's only $10.64!!! I love that their dishes have vegetables. This is a lunch I can feel good about. You can choose what kind of protein. You choose the level of spiciness. I personally order my food Thai Hot. This is my favorite lunch spot. read more

Very cute place for a quick lunch. It came highly recommended so I had to try it. I love pad thai, but wasn't impressed. It was very sweet to the point that I couldn't finish my dish. Every bit tasted crunchy as if I was chomping on sugar. The peanut curry was fabulous! I stole a couple of bites from the person I was dining with. Very tasty sauce and loved the heat, though a medium spiciness would be too hot for me. If I go back, I would get the peanut curry instead of the pad thai. Service was prompt and the soup you get with the lunch special was delicious! This restaurant is kind of hard to spot if you've never been before. It is tucked in the little Plaza by Walgreens. read more

Ordered pad Thai for delivery. Asked for NO EGG OR PEANUT. there was egg in it. Couldn't eat it. This is why a person asks for no egg. If you aren't going to read the notes then why do you have it as an option??? Never order here ago. Wasted my money. read more

I love this place. I eat here weekly for quick work break lunches, and what fabulous lunch specials they have! The prices are great and the portions are decent. Also lunch entrees come with a mini soup and mini egg roll. They're always fast and everything is fresh. The curries are good, all the veggies are great, and OMG the noodle dishes. I eat here multiple times per week. I'd eat here daily if I could afford to! read more
