Kin Dee Thai was such a happy find. Casual spot, great service, and wow the food delivers. They'll bring the heat if you ask, which I appreciate. Plenty of solid plant-based options too. That butterfly pea flower blue rice? Obsessed. Love this little plaza and will absolutely be back.

Flavorful is the main word I think about when I think of this place. Everything has so much flavor and is so mouthwatering good! Have literally tried the whole menu at this point and I have not been disappointed once! I really really enjoy their green Thai tea, probably the best I've had honestly but all of their drinks are good like the regular Thai tea and matcha. Our fave dishes are the fried rice and the pork belly with tofu. I'm also a huge fan of their soups. Plates and inside are aesthetically pleasing and service is pretty good too!

Came with a friend. It wasn't busy but got busier as the evening progressed. Night and day experience. I tried something new which was the boiled as fried chicken with consomme. It was just eh. The fried chicken was good. The boiled chicken had zero flavor and my cat wouldn't event touch it. The consommé was boring and flavorless. The curry puffs were still very good. Thai tea was unimpressive. The service was awful. Which is shocking bc usually they are friendly. I attribute it partially to the large parties that started coming in. However, I draw the line at the server showing it very obviously that you are annoying them. It will be a while before I return!

Shoutout to my girl, Leena, for recommending this restaurant when I was visiting. I went with my girls here, and the food was delicious. I ordered their basil fried rice, and it was well-seasoned. Also, I enjoyed their basil strawberry lemonade, and it was refreshing. The waiter was kind and professional to us, and there were decent seating areas. If you visit Tucson and look a Thai place, I'd recommend you this one out!

French toast

Good service and food. Shrimp and mushrooms were huge! I wish the French toast had more sauce. The restaurant was nicely decorated.

Chicken Satay

Tried the new Kin Dee Thai, located in the Williams Center where Monkey Burger used to be. The restaurant is clean, open, inviting, and surprisingly (to me!) busy on a Wednesday afternoon. My favorite dining companion (my hub doesn't count because he is not an adventuresome eater) and I were looking forward to something new and we were not disappointed. We started with the Kin Dee Satay, presented as four glasses of the most tender and tasty chicken on sticks, peanut sauce, a pickled cucumber/carrot/parsnip? salad and toast soldiers. For her entree, my pal had the braised beef curry, delish and so tender. Puff pastry pieces accompanied, perfect for sopping up the luscious peanut sauce. I was torn between two favorites: Tom Kha soup and Shrimp Pad Thai. I went with the Pad Thai and it was excellent. Tom Kha, see you next time.

We tried this place for the first time and I left happy. We got the Curry puffs were good it was a Thai style empanada stuffed w curry potatoes onion and pickled cucumbers My husband got the #46 Pad Kee Mao I got the #41 Thai Chicken Basil it was fresh flavorful and the service was fantastic the ambiance is sleek modern and very cool. I loved the presentation it was excellent I will be back the tally was $42 not bad it was well worth it. The Portions were huge!!

Chicken basil
Jani M.

Ok, I am super critical of Thai restaurants that claim to be authentic. I was able to spend several weeks in Thailand and finding something that isn't over sweetened and Americanized is hard. That being said, this place is very very close to I enjoyed chicken basil. Was only slightly sweetened compared to what I'm used to. Also it was extremely flavorful. The servers were awesome and explained things to everyone who had questions. I sat at their bar for ease. They have a very cute outdoor seating area and I love the mix of desert and Thai vibe they have going. I think it's very well done.

Crab fried rice
Meredith A.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I finally got the chance. I sat at the bar with a friend and tried several menu items. The bar attendants were friendly and the food came out quickly. It's a good place to watch sports for those who are into that kind of thing. The night I was there they had several TVs tuned into different events. I had the crab fried rice, curry puffs, and mango sticky rice. It was a tough decision because there were several things on the menu I wanted to try, plus their really cool-sounding drinks. The fried rice was so delicious, and a large portion, so I got to take some home. The curry puffs had such a great flavor and would be filling on their own if you were up for a smaller portion. The mango sticky rice was sweet yet not too sugary, the rice had just the right amount of sugar and the mango supplied the rest! I'm looking forward to returning to try more menu items soon!

Fried garlic shrimp.
Erika J.

Best Thai food I've had in Tucson. Amazing presentation and flavors. The service was impeccable and the ambiance is relaxing and casual. Absolutely in love with this place. Highly recommend this restaurant!

This place was a lot bigger inside than expected. I got the ube matcha which was very delicious, and I am picky about my matcha drinks. The food was just ok. I got fried shrimp and one of the pieces still had batter on it, so I couldn't eat it. Personally, we wouldn't come back for the food but maybe for the drinks.

Mango sticky rice
Cindy N.

The interior will beautiful! Lots of lights and open space. And polite servers! A new Thai place in town with a more limited meal that appears less customizable than other Thai places, BUT with a try. When I say less customizable, I mean that I don't see spice level or protein adjustments mentioned on the menu, unlike at other Thai places. Thai tea and coconut water drinks were excellent. Refreshing and not overly sweet. If you like sweeter drinks, maybe it's not for you. The Garlic Shrimp rice dish was perfectly flavored with blue rice. Definitely will get again. The only surprise here was the shrimp itself was not crispy, but the flavors are there. The Shrimp Pad Thai was on point. The flavors you want from a Thai place are here for sure! The Mango Sticky Rice desert is the perfect balance of sweet mangos with cooked sticky rice and a coconut sauce to bring the dish together nicely.

Came here on a Friday night and was surprised to be seated right away. They have a wall that can open up to the patio and they had it open since the weather was nice. It's important to note that there is a cigar bar located next door. With the wall open at allowed for the smell of strong cigar smoke to enter the building. Those on the patio eating were making comments about it as well. Smell is important when it comes to food and this made for a less than desirable dining experience. We started with the curry puffs which came out much smaller than they appear in the picture on the menu. But the flavor was great. The chicken satay tasted good as well, but was also small compared to other Thai places. I also ordered the Kruah Gai noodle which was tasty. Overall the food tasted great. I just wish the cigar smoke wasn't overwhelming and the portions on the appetizers were larger.

My mom wanted to go eat Thai and we decided to go to Tuk Tuk Thai on Campbell. We wanted to order…read morethe Thai iced coffee but they were out as we went day after game day when coffee to go sold out!. So, we ordered the Iced Thai tea and that was served in the Zebra brand stainless steel mugs and absolutely delicious! Never had before and glad they refill for people dining in. Mom ordered the Pad Thai with beef and noodles. I ordered the Coco Fries Sweet Potato's and mango sticky rice. Mm loved the beef and noodles so much. The coco fries we shared and are one of my favorites- lightly batter fried and truly taste like a dessert. The mango stick rice we had not tried before-and was happily delighted when that arrived and once I tasted it. Wow-dessert tasting again- very palette pleasing! We were going to initially order dessert as their true desserts like fried banana w/ice cream or pandan cake but- that needs to be a separate outing. Our server was absolutely wonderful with us! She was kind in listening to my mom trying to speak Thai(her sister lives in Thailand and sent her phrases) and enjoyed hearing that my aunt lives where the server is originally from. We had fun and honestly, highly recommend for all around experience. You will not be disappointed! What I love about Thai food is it is filling , yet, not heavy.

One of our favorite restaurant in town. Always very good…read moreservice & delicious food. They have some new menu. Our son love the hoy joh, our daughter love the grilled pork. Free refills in Thai ice tea.

As a Thai - was born and raised in Thailand I understand that Thai dishes here can't compare to…read morereal authentic Thai food. But I had a argument with the server (Vietnamese) and I asked them to bring the chef here, and asked them if the chef is Thai? She said YES. Turns out 2 old thai lady came out and told me the chef can speak little Thai (?) and I asked them then "who you are" they said they are Thai chef (that's not cooking in the kitchen?) just helping with boiling, cutting. They told me Pad Ka Pao () this is how they do it here. So I told them "No, you are also Thai you should know what is it" - I asked them to do it right again, they wouldn't do it. And they told me to try other places because they will not put the ingredients the same thing & it's depends. Which is ridiculous and low standards and service mind level that Thai people should be... I told them Pad Ka Pao should not put ANYTHING in it you don't have to (mushroom, bamboo, and bell peppers) for what? We use just thai basil, and ground pork and the sauce isn't event right. They told me to tell the Vietnamese server right because she's not Thai. I answered back of course I told her in ENGLISH because SHE IS NOT THAI. I mean like what you expect?? They said they can't give me a refund and unfortunately they have to count it in my bill - I told them I would like my refund because you couldn't do it when I asked you to do and it's all wrong and they gave me the reason this is how they make it and why I want another wrong dish? Everything is old, the design, the table just NO

This was easily one of the worst bowls of pho I've had. It looked like pho and smelled vaguely like…read morepho, but whatever was happening once I tasted it was something else entirely. I understand that options for truly authentic pho in Tucson are limited, so I wasn't expecting perfection. I was simply hoping for something average. Unfortunately, this wasn't even close, especially if you've had good pho before. The broth was the biggest problem. It lacked the depth, balance, and aromatic richness you expect from a good pho broth, and it left behind a strange, aftertaste that made the entire bowl difficult to enjoy. We also ordered the spring rolls, which didn't fare much better. After one bite, neither of us had any interest in finishing them. The one real advantage is the location, since it's connected to Lee Lee International Supermarket, which is itself a decent market and makes the restaurant convenient if you're already shopping there. Unfortunately, convenience is about the only thing good about this place.
