    Grabbed dinner in that place last night. Well what can I say the owner's story is very touching and the food was good. I ordered noodles with shrimp in coconut sauce. Very nice dish. My husband ordered a fried rice which was very flavorful. The only problem I have with this place is the lack of ambiance. A bit too warm especially if you are having a spicy dish on a warm summer evening, and not very welcoming. For some reason the tables were not very clean, considering that the place was empty. Over all it was a decent experience

    This family run restaurant makes consistently delicious food that will leave you feeling nourished and so content. I always enjoy the rice bowls with either the chicken or tofu. This item I paired it with their Himalayan tea which was mildly sweet with a mix of spices. A perfect paring. Highly recommend if you're down on 4th street!

    Everything's gluten free

    Expect to wait. This place is tiny, run by a family. It takes time, especially at peak meal times! I love that this whole place. Everything is gluten free, no worries about cross contamination! By far the number one, best thing here is their naan. My family was ready to fight to the death for the last one! Very hot and fresh and full of flavor!!

    Vegan Rice Pudding. Lovely.

    This is one of the best meals I have had in my life. You can tell the owner truly loves what he is doing and puts his true soul in to it. The curry was balanced beautifully. They offer spicy and not spicy. I had the spicy and it was not oppressive at all. It just tasted amazing. Same for the naan and the rice pudding that came with it. Lemongrass is also vegan friendly. I can't recommend this enough. The restaurant itself is modest and perhaps easily missed from the street. If you're in Tucson you need to go here. It is honestly worth a trip.

    Chicken platter with coconut milk sauce
    Jessica S.

    One could consider this Nepalese restaurant offering gluten-free meals made with organic ingredients as obscure in terms of visibility and operation. It is basically a two man operation -- the owner and his wife -- and one could easily overlook such cuisine on the historic and lively 4th avenue. You'll feel as if you're indulging upon a home cooked meal made with the utmost love, so I do highly recommend that you stop in! The Chicken Platter made with a Coconut Milk sauce was the perfect meal for $16.99. Pricing might seem a little up there, but your platter comes with a large helping of protein in the rich and creamy coconut milk sauce and is garnished with carrots, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, onions, and bell peppers. I had my meal with long grain basmati rice and the cook also included a healthy naan bread and vegan mild pudding. Such a satisfying meal that was none too heavy, but with such immense and rich flavors. It was quite possible to stretch this meal to a second one. Again, I cannot recommend this restaurant more! I did take out but I'm sure you'd be well taken care of if you dined in. The couple is ultra cute and just so friendly and kind all around.

    We went to Lemongrass a while back and came back today to choose a different meal. This time my wife ordered Vegetarian rice noodle with coconut milk sauce. I ordered Shrimp rice noodle with coconut milk sauce. They're both are fabulous and divine! They're really suit to our taste with right spices and seasoning. We recommend you to visit there and try one of his specialties.

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.

    Best Thai food in Tucson and for a great price. Got the spring rolls, tom kha gai (coconut soup w…read morechicken), pad thai, pad see ew, and two thai teas for only $53 (2 ppl). Good portion sizes too, we had almost our whole plates of pad thai and pad see ew left over. Nothing we had I'd rate less than 9.5/10. Our meal really hit the spot and I'm excited to eat our leftovers. I will say, if you're looking for mushy gushy/super friendly service, you won't find it here. The service is good, I definitely wouldn't say our server was rude, just strictly business, but it didn't bother me though. I'd also say it's not the most aesthetic. It's nice and clean of course, but not somewhere you'd dress up cute for, very casual. Also not ideal for large groups, it's a small place with few tables. Would definitely recommend!

    Karuna's has great things about it like the ability to get food at a high spice level (the highest…read morespice in town for Thai and on some days it can get quite spicy at the highest level of 5/5. Good place to go less spicy at if you generally eat less spice). I also like the tofu here. The food is usually good but can also be hit or miss. I find that 1 out of a few times the tom Kha soup and the curries can fall flat in terms of flavor complexity and are too salty. They are often good just not consistently. They have a couple noodle dishes that I find more consistent. All items with V can be made vegetarian. They are also very vegan friendly. Here's what I have tried here: -Rad Nah Flat rice noodles stir fried with kana or broccoli in a special gravy with choice of protein. I get mine with fried tofu at the highest spice level 5/5 or 4/5 if I am in the mood for less spicy. This dish is one of the main dishes that has been consistently good for me here and I almost always get it here. -Tom Kha soup: It is not my favorite Tom Kha in Tucson (my fave Tom Kha in Tucson is at Seasons Eats) but on good days it hits the spot for me. I get it with half fried tofu and half vegetables which they didn't charge me extra for here. The problem is that once in awhile it's less good and falls flat with less complexity and too much salt. I typically get Tom Kha soup at the highest spice level. It's still a go to for me here since it's good most of the time I have tried it and I like to get it with the Rad Nah Flat rice noodles. Pad Kee Mao: Fresh rice noodles or bean thread stir fried in red curry sauce with garlic, Thai chili, onion, bell pepper, broccoli, straw mushroom, baby corn, and basil. For this one I like to make a change to wide flat rice noodles instead of the thin noodles it comes with by default. I get it with fried tofu. This dish is fairly consistent for me and I enjoy getting it from time to time. -Yum Pak salad: Thai eggplant, carrot, snow peas, onion, broccoli, cilantro,cucumber, and Chinese cabbage in a tasty lime dressing. At the highest 5/5 spice level it definitely got spicy for me which can be the case sometimes with Thai salads at the highets spice level. but I also had it with a Poh Thak soup at the highest spice level so I think both built up for me together. This one wasn't my favorite because I am a little picky about how I like my eggplant ( I liked softer and very cooked typically) but I could see myself getting it again if in the mood, maybe at a 4/5 spice depending on my mood. I only tried it once. - Poh Thak soup Spicy soup with fragrant broth of lemongrass, ginger, galangal, basil, & lime. I get it with fried tofu. I really liked the flavors. At the highest 5/5 spice level it definitely got spicy for me but I also had it with the Yum Pak salad salad at the highest spice level so I think both built up for me together. I still very much enjoyed it and would get it again, maybe at a 4 out of 5 spice depending on my mood. I only tried it once. -Red Curry: Red is my typical go to curry I always get or at least start with at Thai places. It's usually good but unfortunately the curries here, which are usually my go to in Thai restaurants, are very inconsistent for me. Sometimes good and sometimes too salty and not complex. I tend to prefer to get curries, especially red, in Tucson at Nattha's Bann Thai. -Panang Curry with Straw Mushroom and Tofu: Fried tofu simmered in panang curry with coconut milk, straw mushroom, bell pepper, young jackfruit, carrot, chili & Thai basil. Fun to see young jackfruit on the menu here. Unfortunately the curries here, which are usually my go to in Thai restaurants, are very inconsistent for me. Sometimes good and sometimes too salty and not complex. Pad Thai vegetarian: I only tried it once here but it wasn't for me, at least that one time I tried and I didn't get it again. The sauce was too bland for me. It can get pretty crowded here on some weekend evenings as it's not a big space. The service is usually good here in my experience. I'd come back for my favorites or to try something new but I do keep in mind that it isn't always consistent with some dishes fluctuating in flavor sometimes and therefore sometimes prefer to go elsewhere for Thai. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Soup for the dac biet was a bit on the lighter side, but there were plenty of ingredients and lots of pho noodles. The shrimp spring rolls were HUGE, and it paired perfectly with the provide peanut sauce. Good service and good pricing considering the area. However the restaurant is a bit hidden in the corner of the plaza, but can also be accessed through the next door Asian supermarket (Lee Lee International Supermarket). Worth checking it out when in the area. Come and support your local small businesses!

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.
