Such delicious food and very attentive service!! Was looking forward to a healthy and delicious lunch and they delivered!!

I came here for dinner last night and had an excellent experience--service was great from start to finish. I ordered the crab puffs and chicken pad Thai. Both were good, though the pad Thai was a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

I stopped by on a Thursday shortly after 7pm. There were three tables with diners, including one table of six people. All three tables had left within 15 minutes. It was a quiet meal. My server was prompt and friendly. I ordered chicken pad Thai medium spiced. Food came out hot within minutes and was well-portioned and presented. My dish was tangy more than spicy. Next time I will order my Thai food spicy. I would have given this dining experience five stars, but there was a long, gaping crack in the wall by my booth that bothered me. This crack traveled from the ceiling down toward the floor. It definitely needs to be fixed. read more

Service is friendly, prices are reasonable, dishes are delicious! Ambience is both pleasant unpretentious. My favorites are Pad Thai, green chicken curry. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in Tucson! The place is hidden away in a little area on Speedway & Swan. The food never misses. I love getting their Pad Thai and Green Curry. Their gai satay and tom yum koong is also extremely flavorful and delicious as well, but the pad thai is my go-to and my comfort food. I personally like calling ahead and ordering take out! Their pad thai tastes good with tofu but also with shrimp and beef as well! If you want a little spice you can ask for it spicy and they will cater to your liking. Such a great restaurant and I will try out other dishes too! read more

The food was excellent and the service was superb. Give this hidden gem a shot because you won't regret it. The portions are proper, the soup was hot and the vegetable egg roll was delicious. read more

Delicious Thai food find in Tucson. The Panang curry and the Thai Toast were my favorite ( alert- the cucumber peanut sauce it comes with has a generous splash of fish sauce). The Panang curry had the right blend of each spice and I could have enjoyed as a stand alone soup as that broth is spot on! Your dishes don't all come out at the same time which we actually appreciated because they were each freshly made to order. Service was very attentive. Space for medium size groups. Located in a strip mall with decent parking. read more

Some of the worst and most tasteless food that I have ever tried. This was not Thai food but rather an insult to Thai food. Absolutely Disgusting and Gross. Do NOT waste your time or money and thank me later. read more

This place came highly recommended by my fellow coworkers so I thought I'd give it a chance. Had a nice lunch the Kawr Pad was good and had some unique flavors. The waiter was also the cook so service was a little slow but not bad. read more

Ok. Firstly. I read on reddit and other forums how much I HAD to go here for THE most authentic delicious Thai in town. Cool. I eat a lot of lunches solo, so I am used to seating alone or at the bar area if a place has that option. I come here on a weds. around 1:20pm. The lunch rush is ending and I sit in my car until I physically can see only 2 remaining tables, the entire center of the restaurants had 4-6 person tables. All were empty. The booths were dirty but not seated in. I walk in, it takes like 5 min before I am noticed, again, all good. When he finally comes up to me, he points to the middle tables, I asked, Is it ok if I sit at one of the booths, I am aware they are still dirty, but I'll take it anyway, you get to it when you get to it, no hurry. He points at middle table and says, "No! Only these." So I decide eh.....I'll come back on a different day. OK, so yesterday, 9/29 I head in around 11:30. No one is there, I am seated in a booth, all is good in the world. Order the drunken noodles, I was not aware they are not part of the lunch special, though it seemed as if they are listed at the bottom of the lunch specials. Ok....again, no big deal. Here's the reason for the stars off. 1 off bc he was so rude the first time, and was very unpleasant this time when I asked for some siracha sauce. ( I am aware there is a shortage, so i said, or some sort of chili dipping sauce ) He looks at me and goes, "no." proceeds to bring me chili pepper flakes. The meal itself was sub par Not very "juicy" for lack of a better word. A few green pepper, the tofu was good. I just don't see myself going back. I had an iced tea and the druken noodles and it was 18 bucks. The server man was very unfriendly and I make it a purpose not to be annoying when I have to ask for things or explanations. Maybe he had a bad day but the attitude was off putting. The food was mediocre and I am going to try the other most listed spot next read more

Wonderful food. I recommend the coconut soup and the chicken satay with peanut sauce. I am looking forward to coming here again.

Haven't had a "this doesn't taste Thai" dish yet. Feels like I'm eating in a restaurant in Thailand . Even though Bidenomics is happening ('inflation'), their prices were acceptable. Definitely will be eating there when I feel like a taste of Thai read more

Probably one of my favorite green curries I've had. Can't wait to go back! My only complaint is the portion of rice given. Wish it was a little bigger (about the size of a small bowl) and then extra rice is $2. The mango sticky rice was also great! read more

Rounding up from a 3.5 to a 4 because of how cool the soup cooking in front of us was (fire spouting out from the center or "fire soup" as a friend dubbed it). Not as great was the duck dish which had a weird taste to it (like they had marinated it in the char siu sauce, but not quite there). The fried rice was okay but nothing amazing. The drunken noodles was pretty decent but could have been spicier. The star were the curry and soup! Loved how creamy and rich they were! I'd definitely come back for more soups and curry! read more

This restaurant used to be so good, but it has gone down hill since the pandemic. Bai Thong used to be our go-to Thai food. Now, the food and service are terrible. If they made a mistake on your order, they'll be annoyed when you ask to fix it and wouldn't apologize either. We are going to try other thai restaurants. overall: 0/5 We will NOT be back Pad Thai 0/5 Sooooo bland! This was not a one time occurrence. We like giving restaurants we used to love a few chances. The pad thai now only consists of a little bit of meat, mostly noodles, and a little bit of onions with soggy crushed peanuts and bean sprouts on the side. They no longer cook it with eggs or carrots or any tofu. The only flavor you can get out of it is spicy if you ordered spicy. They used to use Thai chilies to turn up the spice heat. Now they just use some bland spice sauce. It has heat, but not much flavor. They don't give you much meat either. If you ask for extra meat, they'll charge you for it with barely extra meat. Pad Prik King 1/5 Again, used to be flavorful and now bland. The green beans didn't look good and the flavor is lacking with not much meat. ambiance: 2/5 busy and loud depending on time of day cleanliness: 2/5 restrooms: did not use service: 2/5 waitress is nice, but the cook (younger guy) is a bit of a jerk and sometimes he's the server as well. they need to get rid of this dude parking: 4/5 off street lot read more

Enjoyed a vegetables with chicken lunch, with came with white rice and a fish sauce-based soup which I enjoyed but wasn't to the taste of my companion. Only one server, which made for a slightly delayed delivery, but the food was well worth waiting for. A simple hole in the wall place with minimal atmosphere but, if you're looking for a tasty lunch that will cost you less than $15.00, this would be a good choice. read more

Updating my review now that I'm expanding my spicy palate and eating indoors a bit more frequently to say: it's even better than in my last review! I typically feel very uncomfortable inside of most restaurants these days, but I always feel very welcome with Bai Thong's kind, competent staff. Everything that I order here is always more than worth it, and exploring their menu more has been such a treat for me lately! The interior is calm and welcoming, and you can really tell that the entire staff puts their whole heart into what they do; from the courteous honesty of the servers, to the way that the food here nourishes my soul as well as my body. It's hard to say what my favorite dish is, because everything is so good. Lately, I've been going for lunches with how good and nourishing the "soup of the day" always is; it comes with any of the lunch special entrees, along with their egg roll. Which, I really must disagree with other reviewers, has always been really excellent for all six years I've been going here. I really like ordering their curries with shrimp, lately; I don't usually eat seafood in the desert, after growing up on the gulf coast, but theirs is really fantastic, and makes me a little less homesick for the ocean. I was raised by huge foodies, honestly, who traveled me to a lot of places as a child to eat -- so, my body still remembers what it's like to be trained into having the palate of a food snob -- and Bai Thong still remains today to be one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I can really feel here that they understand the importance of love in food, and eating here helps me to expand that understanding inside of my own body and soul. On the whole these days, I feel a sort of sad suffering from a detached sense of humanity, but not here. Everything I eat at Bai Thong I can always tell really comes from the heart, and the servers are always happy that I'm there. Respect is met with respect here, and it's a relief to have a place where I feel comfortable to be myself, and welcomed for it. I'll keep going back for as long as I live here, and am grateful to them for the ways that they've helped me to expand my own soul through what they do. read more

Would give 5 stars but some of the Booth seating was ripped. Loved the food! Had Kangped Phade Yang* roast duck, coconut milk, bell pepper, tomatoes and pineapple on red curry! The roast duck was wonderful. They ask how spicy you wan it. We wanted it very spicy. It was not. However there was a deep rich flavor! Also had Pad Thai rice noodles stir fried with eggs, been spouts and green onions and topped with peanut with chicken added. How wonderful. Nice light flavor. Missed taking pictures today...we dug into it too quick!!! Also ordered jasmine tea. There is a no e assortment of food and drinks to choose from. We will be back. This is not a romantic place but a good stop for some nice food. read more

This place had great reviews, unfortunately it was so disappointing. The egg rolls tasted really badly and the inside was so unappetizing. My boyfriend wanted to walk out after those, but I encouraged him to stay. Which, was not a good idea. The waitress was very sweet, we really liked her. It was a clean restaurant. But, the food was terrible. My boyfriend got the fried rice and we didn't finish any of the food. I was hopeful for the pad Thai, but I felt it was missing the vibrance of fresh herbs. Everything tasted like it was made in the same dirty wok with old oil. read more

We tried four vegetarian items and were disappointed by them all. Fresh rolls: rolls were fine but sauce was watery and flavorless. A peanut sauce would have been better, or even Thai sweet chili sauce. Pad Thai: flavorless Pad see ew: flavorless Penang curry (med. spicy): a spicy red curry --at least this one had flavor, though it was a red curry and not a Penang curry (many American Thai restaurants make this error). We added tofu to a couple dishes but it had a weird, hard, unpleasantly chewy texture one doesn't usually encounter in tofu. read more

Fairly busy when we went. The restaurant does a good job of socially distancing customers which makes for a quiet and more personal dining experience. The staff was extremely friendly and were quick to check in to see if you needed anything, extremely pleased with the table service we received. We ordered the Green Curry and the Pad Zee Eew. Both came promptly. The Green Curry was my favorite, with lots of bamboo shoots and green peppers. The Pas Zee Eew noodles were tasty as well. The only criticism for both of the dishes was that the flavor wasn't near as strong for both so I ended up combing the dishes together to try to add some of the curry spice to the Pas Zee Eew. Friendly neighborhood Thai restaurant! read more

Large open space with lack of any ambiance. Server was pleasant but distant- did his job but nothing more. Food was out timely and was right at average for flavor , spice heat, texture. Overall , ho-hum experience and will continue to seek alternate places for Thai food. read more

OMG. So good! This is the first thai place we've tried in town but now I don't know if I can bring myself to try any others. First, COVID protocols are on point. The guy at the register sanitized everything between to-go customers -- the counter, the card holder, the pen, and of course his own hands. Their card reader is compatible with tap cards and Apple Pay, minimizing contact there as well. It looked like they were set up for dine-in, but no one was sat when I was there so I don't know for sure. Best to call and ask! Second, they are super friendly and just make you feel good about supporting their small business. I could tell from my short time in the restaurant that the owner chats with his regulars and gets to know them. Not to mention he was basically a one man show, taking phone orders, packing them up, and ringing up customers. Gotta appreciate the small biz hustle. Third and most importantly, the food! Ugh it's so good. We had tofu pad kee mao and chicken pad thai. Both were phenomenal! The pad kee mao came with tons of veggies which I loved. The noodles were nice and soft, but not too greasy. And the tofu was cubed and fried. The "hot" spice level is only their second spiciest and it was pretty darn spicy. Tread carefully before upgrading to the "thai hot" level! read more

Meh- it was ok. This place used to be better, green beans were soggy, and it seemed like each dish was very heavy on the coconut milk and the spices weren't standing out. I ordered spicy, and got mild. Can't say much on the service as I got take out. However, I don't think it was worth the $55 I spent on 2 entrees (tofu entree and pad pring king). read more

Good stuff.. sort of dated & dumpy inside with cracked walls. But. I don't care. The food is really good

I have eaten here three times and have only tried the soups. Tom Yum Roum Mit is nice and spicy and has a good lemon grass flavor. The place is clean with mainly booth tables to sit in. It is worth a stop and don't be scared off with the old strip mall. Park your car go in and try something different. read more

"Oh, yes." They said. "Totally gluten free!" they said. This food definitely wasn't worth getting extremely sick over. I will say the curries we ordered tasted pretty good. The Tom Yum was... Not very Tom Yum-like. The flavor was very weak. Like they placed a piece of lemongrass, a kafir lime leaf, and a slice of galangal in the broth and called it a day. Definitely don't eat here if you have medically based dietary restrictions. read more

Bai Thong - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Service itself was fine. The people working there are kind and friendly and really happy to help. I would give the service and people a 4 out of 5. Location is okay. It's in a strip mall which, to be honest, is kind of the normal for many restaurants around here. Nothing fancy but clean and tables set nicely. I feel like giving the location or ambiance a low rating is kind of unkind but if being honest it's just average. The food is the reason we won't return. We read previous reviews of past amazing options so we tried 3 different dishes along with 2 appetizers. Egg rolls and crab puffs for again okay. Just okay. Not bad. Not great. Sure we would eat them again but meh. For the 3 main dishes, we technically ended up with 4 and a half due to an error. Service was good at handling the situation and they noticed before we did. As mentioned above the service likely gets a 4 or maybe as I type more a 4.5. The food though...just a no all around. One dish had pineapple, cashew, rice, chicken and shrimp and it was the sole positive but even then we wouldn't order it again. The pad thai didn't have much flavor at all. For the other dish, the chicken and noodles in it just existed. They had no flavor to consider. No real seasoning. We eneded up with half a dish of noodles and green onion as part of the mistake that was the same. Our food just existed. So...here's the thing. The food isn't bad...but it isn't good. It truly is something that is sat before you and just manages to exist on the table. We hope that the same caliber of food peers and other reviewers noted in the past can return. We will check reviews again and if we see an update maybe we will try but for now it's a pass. If y'all do try, we hope your staff experience is as good as our service was. It's tough writing a bad review when the service is so great but we would not recommend any of the dishes we had. read more

I come from the land of good family-owned Thai restaurants. New to Tucson and had to find one. We've visited several so far and finally found Bai. We've eaten there a couple of times now during the weeknights. This restaurant is vegan-friendly which helped a lot. So far we've tried there Pad Zee Eew, Pad Thai, Panang Vegetable, and veggie fried rice. We skip the egg and ask for no fish sauce, they accommodate. Egg rolls are a nice treat also. No complaints, food is fresh, very tasteful, and you can kick up the heat with there extra spices and jalapenos. We like the family on feel like another yelper said, it's in a strip mall which is always a good sign. Definitely our go-to Thai as we keep exploring Tucson. read more

Bai Thong - Pad Zee Eew, fried, rice, panang veggie curry. - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I ordered a lunch special veggie dish, but don't know the name because it's not listed on my receipt. It was around $12. I ate about 3 bites before deciding I would not continue to sugar-dump on my body. The sweetness was overpowering and sickening. Diabetes runs in both sides of my family. Here's an idea: use actual herbs & seasonings instead of relying on sugar. YUCK. The server took the dish away and did not even discount it, so I paid full price for something I did not eat. Never Again. read more

For Tucson, Bai Thong exceeded expectations! Their food tasted very flavorful and authentic. We ordered pad thai with chicken, Penang curry with tofu, papaya salad, and tom yum roum mit (vegetable soup). The soup was just ok, I expected it to be more creamy/milky like tom yum or tom kha. The curry, pad Thai, and papaya salad were excellent! So happy to have found a great Thai place in town on our first try! read more
