Amazing food! It'll fill you up but it's so good you won't want to stop eating. The service is great, and the workers are so nice. The restaurant overall has a great atmosphere and their food just puts it over the top. read more

I really hesitated writing this review bc the people who work there are SO nice! Service was great!! I may come back to try a curry bc it appears that is popular here. My husband and son and I came in search for a go to Thai food spot. We just moved from DC two months ago and this was the highest rated Thai place (granted there were only like 4 spots). I'm a pretty harsh critic when it comes to Asian food but honestly this was so underwhelming. The portions were tiny (not a huge deal), but the flavor just wasn't there/ I got the chicken basil and my husband got the beef drunken noodle. My dish had so much bamboo (which I don't love and feel like it's used as a filler) and then maybe 2 ounces of chicken and a few pieces of green beans and peppers. My dish did not have a ton of flavor and we both left hungry. I am super bummed as this means we'll have to drive to Phoenix to get our Thai fix. read more

Incredible Thai food! Their Tom Kha was absolutely delicious (perfect for a rainy day). Staff was kind and accommodated to vegetarian benefits. Will definitely be returning! read more

I'm so glad they are a distance from my house it would be difficult to keep away from their Red vegetables Curry they gave good portions

Best Thai food in Tucson hands down. I've been going there at least 15 years and I love it.

I eat here several times a year, more often since my favorite Thai restaurant closed down. I would say they have some of the better Thai food in Tucson, especially their curries. I would rate this 5 stars if comparing just to available Thai food in Tucson read more

i was treated to some fresh wonderful Spring Rolls and some of THE BEST Thom Kha Kai I've ever had!! all accompanied by great service! I can't wait to go back! read more

We are not from Tucson and were looking for a place open a little later for dinner and was looking for a nearby thai restaurant. This wasn't our first choice initially but we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered a pad thai with chicken and thai fried rice. Both were delicious! Great authentic flavor. Everything had great "wok hei" the flavor of that can only be achieved good technique with high heat on a wok. The staff were very attentive and nice. Overall a great place for both the food and service. Highly recommend and would return the next time we are back in Tucson. read more

Delicious Thai, less Americanized than some... the restaurant menu is more extensive than you'll find in the online menu. The main issue I have with this place is that it's not very vegetarian friendly. They charge $2 to sub tofu and some orders like the Tom Kha only come with chicken. They have a limited veggie curry selection, and it's unclear if you can get green curry without meat. read more

Very good food. Not a great location or the nicest interior. That being said, the food is very good. Some of the booths have duct taped seats which is kind of annoying, but the food is great tasting for a good price. Spring rolls (the non fried type) are really clean and delicious. Pad Thai and pad see ew are also great options. One thing to note is that they don't ask if you want it spicy, but if you request more spice they are happy to oblige. All in all this place has great food and service with not the best atmosphere. read more

This is a nice local family owned Thai restaurant. It's a bit far from downtown but it's worth driving. The environment is big and clean, the staff is considerate, the portions are great, and the prices are fair. I would say this is one of the best Thai restaurants in Tucson. We got Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, and Thai Curry today and they were all delicious. The Tom Yum Soup is perfectly spiced and gets lots of mushrooms and shrimps in it. The Thai Curry tastes very smooth and flavorful. We got the combination Pad Thai with beef and shrimp, the beef is tender and the shrimp is fresh. Their spicy level goes from medium, hot, and then Thai spicy (hottest). I would highly recommend you to go with Thai spicy if you enjoy spicy foods. The spicy level is perfect without burning all the flavors. read more

Bai Thong - Tom Yum Soup. BUUUUURN. - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I have gone to Thailand many times on my way to other places in Asia. Bai Thongs food is the best for the price in Tucson. If I could give a grade for ambiance it would get maybe a 2 and the service would get a 5. Never the less the food is great and there is nothing on the menu that I have had I did not like. So if you don't mind eating in a drab strip mall next to the tackiest dollar store in town, and you don't mind mediocre service this is the place for great food. Most Asian restaurants worth going to for good food don't have great decor. read more

I went there this evening to scope the place out before I take a dear out of state friend who wants Thai for lunch. The verdict? I'll be taking him there tomorrow. This is located in a strip mall on Speedway, but you forget that as soon as you step in the door as it feels comfortable in there. We were greeted by the young wife, who owns the restaurant and were seated. This being a Wednesday, and early in the evening (5:30 p.m.) there was only one couple and only two other parties came in while we were there. Two or three came in for pickup. So slow night. I ordered the Panang Curry and my wife and daughter ordered the Thai Curry. We also shared a plate of thin bean noodles and a chicken Satay appetizer. All was excellent! Panang Curry is a red peanut sauce curry with basil leaves (yum!), bell pepper, and meat. I had beef. Thai Curry is green curry with basil leaves (yum!), bell pepper, and bamboo shoots. Could have had just a li-i-i-ittle more bell pepper, and bamboo slices instead of shreds. But that's a minor point and will not detract from your enjoyment. We all enjoyed our tasty curry on top of our tasty rice. The bean noodles were really good. They put tomatoes, onions, scrambled eggs, and I want to say napa cabbage. The Satay was good, too, and came with four generous sizes of skewered chicken. Oh, speaking of generous portions, each serving of curry can easily feed two and still have some leftovers for lunch the next day for some lucky person. So if you're wanting to save money, split one order of curry and it only cost around $10 for the both of you. Service was super. She was very pleasant and friendly. She kept our waters filled and seemed to have an eye out for us. They accommodated my wife when she originally ordered her curry mild because she had an irritated sore throat. Her curry was still a bit too spicy and they gladly took it back to add more coconut milk in. For me, though, I'm going to order it a bit more spicy next time. The great part about going back the next day is trying something else out like the deep fried bananas or the sweet sticky rice with custard or mango. I was too full tonight to order dessert. I will tomorrow! read more

Authentic, fresh Thai. Friendly service. Not too expensive. Come for Thai tea (tastes like a black tea milkshake), authentic decorations, and delicious curry. Great fresh spring rolls. Best thing about this place is the Amazon decor. The tables have glass tops over a bunch of photos that the owners took of Thailand, which is really fun to see! Their culture is portrayed authentically here! read more

I enjoyed my dish very much and was pleased with their service. Spicy is spicy. Found out that this place serves authentic Thai food and only Thai dishes. Decor helped me feel, for a moment, as if I was in another country. I saw some pineapple fried rice pass me by and boy, did it look and smell delicious! Looks like a great place to go for their lunch specials too. Was upcharged $4 for selecting shrimp instead of other proteins and was not told at the time of order nor do I remember seeing that on the menu. read more

Bai Thong - A favorite - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Really more of a 4.5 star Inexpensive, but good food. Portions are a good size. Service can be a bit hit or miss, but the last few times I've gone the waitresses have been pretty on top of drinks and orders. The mango and coconut sweet rice is good, but they've had ice cream lately (haven't had any so can't say, but Thai tea flavor sounds interesting). I really like this place, and I stop by for lunch all the time. Got my co-workers into it too. read more

The food is fabulous, the place is clean and the prices are reasonable. My only drawback is the service but then most places need more wait staff these days. If you like Thai food, this place should be next on your list to try. read more

How does this place have a four star rating???? I am very picky when it come to Thai food! The spring rolls where not good..... the red curry was way to watery, the pad Thai had no flavor!!! I am very disappointed! read more

Started eating my Penang curry lunch special and had to stop to take a photo and write a review! I ordered the $6.95 lunch special- it comes with soup of the day, fried wonton or egg roll, and your choice of about 8 different meals (including pad Thai). Penang curry is my favorite Thai dish so I opted for that with it made spicy with chicken instead of beef and an egg roll. I also got the Thai iced tea. If you've never had it I highly recommend ordering, it's delicious! The soup- I'm not sure what kind- was fresh and hot, served immediately after ordering. It was vegetable based with noodles, peas, mushrooms, and basil. A very good start to the lunch. Soon after finishing the soup, my curry, rice, and egg roll came out. The egg roll was amazing! So much flavor packed into a tiny roll. The curry was also pretty good, although not satisfactory to my spice loving tastebuds. It was very flavorful, however. The peanut sauce gave it a tasty creamy flavor (and I don't even like peanut sauce). My absolute favorite thing about this place is the adorable photos of the owners' son under the glass of the tables. read more

Bai Thong - Penang curry lunch special with Thai iced tea! - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food and the service are great. We come here several times a year and we always have a good experience. The portions are generous and everything is well prepared and really delicious. The wait staff are always friendly and polite. read more

The staff is super friendly and the curry is delicious, but before you place your order, you need to know that the prices on Yelp are not accurate at al. The folks at the restaurant are not sure who posted these prices, but they're inaccurate. I got the Thai curry with shrimp and pineapple and would definitely order it again. read more

We came in pretty late so there weren't many people dining. The service was attentive due to that reason. The decor and ambience was a lot more "authentic" than most of the Thai places I've been too. As for the food, it was great! We got shrimp Penang curry and it was quite delicious. It was my first time getting it, so I'm not sure how liquid-y it was supposed to be but mine was like broth. The flavor had a very coconut cream flavor though so overall I really liked it. I had to get an extra bowl of rice though because the proportions of curry to rice was like 2:1: We also got the chicken pad Thai and that was one of the best pad Thai I've had! There was an extra flavor that made the pad thai's flavor have a little more depth. The eggs were fully beat and on personal preference I prefer it that way. The noodles wasn't overlooked and overall the vegetables made the dish a really good consistency. The proportions were decent to the pricing but I didn't mind it too much because it was still tasty. read more

Great family run restaurant. Always amazing service and the Pad Thai is delicious. Freshest vegetable egg rolls in Tucson!

Great food very delicious! I'd definitely recommend. We love the laarb and veg Paneng curry.

We had the pad thai. The pad thai had an orange sauce on it. I initially thought that it had a bit of a buffalo sauce flavor to it. I think I might like the orange sauce better than the brown sauce I sometimes get on pad thai. We didn't get asked what spice level we wanted, but the food came out the proper spiciness for me. We also ordered the green curry with chicken. It came with a ton of bamboo shoots, green peppers and peas. I thought that it was unusual that the green curry didn't come with zucchini or the other vegetables that I usually see in green curry. The veggies and curry sauce were good. read more

Food and service was excellent here. Would recommend. Got worried when we first arrived as we were the only ones in the restaurant but more people showed up within ten minutes of us arriving. Good came out quick, and service was great. Can't go wrong with pad Thai. read more

Bai Thong - Good Thai food for the price! Pad Thai is yummy - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Amazing food and great service. I enjoyed everything i have tried. Order a variety of things on your first visit.

Papaya salad is pretty good! Also the Panama curry was very flavorful. Will be back to try everything else

Bai Thong sIts in a strip mall on Speedway just East of Swan. It is an open almost three walls with glass as the fourth wall. As such, it is light and airy with typical Thai decor and menu offerings. The menu does go beyond the typical and I will return to explore some of the duck dishes described. The Pad Gra Prao (Thai spicy stIr fried rice) was very good. I asked them to make it Thai-level spicy with shrimp, and it was hella hot and so delicious. My husband enjoyed the Thai green curry with pork and the chicken satay. Note: they have lunch and dinner specials with soup and egg roll. read more

I have high expectations for Thai food, coming from the very diverse selection of cuisine in my home town of Philadelphia. I'm gonna start off and say this eatery met none of them. The service was slow and it took about 10 minutes to get water, and be greeted. There was one other seated table. Once we ordered, we waited. 15 minutes of waiting, the chicken fried rice comes out. Hard dish to fuck up. The rice was soggy and the chicken chewy and flavorless. 10 more minutes, the pork Pad Thai comes out. Again, incredibly mediocre, with some flavors that certainly felt out of place. After another ten minutes of wondering if they forgot about me, my chicken pad Thai came out. It was horrendous. The chicken had a yellowish powder on it. The noodles were very soft and flavorless. It smelled off-putting. I ate about 3 bites before giving up. Save yourself time and money, and make some 39¢ ramen. You'll be happier. read more

Hot delicious curry dish for my first visit was outstanding !! Sweating as I finished my dinner I know where my Thai restaurant in Tucson is...here! Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious and when I get back here I getting that awesome seafood soup! read more

As close to real Thai food as you can get. Pad Thai and fish cakes were legit. Wish they made crab fried rice or yellow curry crabs.

Doesn't look like much from the outside - just a storefront and window along a strip, but I was pleasantly surprised. I visited with a friend a few months ago, and I ordered the chicken Pad See Ew (I think spelled differently on their menu, but the same dish) - a staple when visiting any Thai restaurant. It was flavorful and the portion was decent, and the prices were fair. My friend had curry and said he quite liked it. Overall, a good Thai place in Tucson and I'll definitely be back. read more

I hosted a group of 16 diners there last night. Unfortunately we only had one waitress & she became overwhelmed taking care of us & a few booths to the side of my group. Some folks were finished eating b/4 others received their food. I & another guy across from me both ordered duck dishes, I b/4 he, but he was done eating & I still hadn't received my meal. When I complained to the mgr & finally got my food, it was not what I had ordered! Turns out that my choice had been served to Jim & his meal served to me! The server didn't even apologize; the mgr was sincerely sorry & he expedited my meal. The duck was delicious & I had enough for another meal today. I was comped some rice, but a discount or a free beverage would have improved my sour mood. I may return as a solo diner, but never w/a group again... read more

The food was tasty, but probably from all of the MSG. I almost passed out of exhaustion after eating. Ask for no MSG. The servings were small too. read more

I am so glad I found this place. The recipes are authentic and are so tasty. Everything I had was amazing. I can't wait to return.

I really liked this place. The spring rolls were so fresh, I thought I was a rabbit on a farm. read more

Bai Thong - Spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Hadn't been here in many years and had forgot how it was. During this pandemic I ordered my favorite Thai dishes for takeout which are Thai style fried rice (with basil), Drunken Noodles (pad kee mao) and papaya salad (Som Tom). All 3 were all authentically seasoned and delicious. The papaya salad was particularly fresh and I opted for "Thai hot" for spiciness, which was perfect for a person with high spicy tolerance. Already craving these dishes again. Will be back soon for sure! read more

Pretty decent Thai food, definitely the best Tucson has to offer and centrally located. Open 7 days a week which is a big plus of those of us who want to grab a bite on Sundays. The mango sticky rice dessert was delicious! read more

Bai Thong - Thai Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I love Thai food, and on this dreary, miserable night it was just the ticket. I got home later than normal, and my husband and I dashed over to Bai Thong to eat. It's right around the corner from where we live, and after our three-plus years as Midtowners, we haven't eaten over here since moving. We started out with the hot tea, which was lovely. It was loose leaf tea instead of bags, which was a pleasant surprise. Growing up in the wilds of Eastern Washington, whenever we got tea at a Chinese (or Thai) restaurant, it was always bagged. This was a nice surprise. DH started out with the spring rolls, which he liked. I think next time we'll get the chicken satay or the larb as a starter, yum! I had the pineapple fried rice sans shrimp. I've never liked it, which has gotten me many a quirked eyebrow from friends and family. It was delicious. I am a dedicated carb addict, and I loved it. The cashews were a great touch, and it had that perfect, distinctive funk of Thai food that makes it so memorable. Hooray for fish sauce! The combination of sweet and sour was definitely present, and I had finished the whole plate before I realized it. DH had a spicy seafood dish, the name of which has escaped both of us. It had clams, squid, shrimp, and some sort of fish in it and he raved over it. The sauce had a great slow burn that lingered just long enough before fading away. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, and recommended next time that DH have the green curry. I might try the honey duck, or the Thai cashew chicken (which I would likely choose to be my last meal if I'd done the crime and had to walk the last mile.) We ended with the sweet sticky rice after a little bit of waffling about it. DH asked the waiter if he should have it with mango or custard, and being that it's not mango season, he advised us to go with the custard. Yummy. The rice was warm, sweet and delicious. The custard was cool and luscious. I told DH next time we'll each get one instead of sharing. Or maybe two apiece. Or three. Or twenty. Joking, kind of. This is the best Thai restaurant in Tucson. I'm super buzzed it's right around the corner from us, and I predict many more dinners at Bai Thong in the future. read more
