    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

    Chicken Combo Plate

    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!!

    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.

    Vegan Rice Pudding. Lovely.
    Blaythe S.

    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.

    Chicken rice noodles with coconut based sauce

    Stopped in for lunch and got the chicken rice noodles with the coconut sauce - very flavorful, vegetables were cooked perfectly. The portions are generous so I took leftovers home. Great vegan options for my sister. She enjoyed her vegan fried rice and her tofu was extra crispy. It's run by a very friendly guy who was a one man show when we went so it did take about 15-20 minutes to get our food. Overall, very delicious and 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!

    Our group of five chose to explore Karuna's Thai Plate after our favorite Thai restaurant closed…read more We made a reservation and arrived promptly, where we were seated without delay. The restaurant was quite busy, and our server, who may have been one of the owners, appeared to be a bit fatigued, which is understandable given their thirty years of service. The food was enjoyable, and while we are considering returning, we are also interested in trying some other Thai restaurants that are more conveniently located and offer better parking options. It was evident that Karuna's serves as a popular neighborhood spot, with numerous takeout orders being handled during our visit. If you're in the neighborhood and craving Thai food, I highly recommend checking them out. Most of us enjoyed their Pad Thai, with some opting for chicken and others for shrimp. We also shared some spring rolls, which were quite tasty! However, I want to mention that it was a bit surprising to receive spring rolls that weren't cut in half, especially since we didn't have any knives at the table. It could be a small change that would make the experience even better for everyone.

There are several different condiments, extra napkins, and utensils already on the table for your convenience. Our food arrived quickly and both items had such depth of flavor! The rice noodles with scallion oil came with onions wrapped in beef and grilled, something we had never tried before but were just as good as it sounds. The pho broth also clearly had been simmering for hours. It was dark and rich in flavor while the veggies were still crisp and fresh. For living in central Tucson, this place is definitely worth the 20 minute drive!

We were almost immediately seated at the table in the back of the restaurant to the left as you walk in at the table between the wall and the cut out in the wall that opened into the kitchen. The table being behind the wall was just a nice little private area and the wall really helped canceling some of the noise so we really enjoyed where we were seated. Handed menus and left us to see what we wanted. The server came back shortly and took our drink order and went off to fill that while we continued to study the menu, but she' shortly returned to get our lunch order. We got one order of the number eight Fried eggroll appetizer and wifey got the number one bowl of pho while I got the number 47 beef chicken and shrimp stirfry over egg noodles. It was funny that the server then asked us if we wanted one check or two checks. I don't know exactly why she asked that but her English wasn't terribly good. Of course, my Vietnamese isn't any better. But we eventually figured out that she was just curious as to whether we really wanted one or two checks. So I told her we would just take one check for lunch today. After a few minutes, a lady who we believe was the owner brought us out our plate of egg rolls with all of the sides on the plate and I have to tell you that the egg rolls were absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed them. A few minutes later, our server brought out first the bowl of pho for my wife, and then quickly followed with my plate of stirfry. The food was quite good. The service was fast and efficient and I was happy to say that we really enjoyed our lunch here this afternoon and we look forward to coming back again.

Tart and well balanced with all the flavors of galangal, kaffir lime leaves and spice. Not overly sweet. It comes with mushrooms and I get it with fried tofu or vegetables (they now charge extra to do half and half unfortunately and it's already a little pricey) I alway get Tom Kha at the highest spice level. It's not very spicy here but consistently good. I ask them for Chilli crisp sauce on the side and love to put it in the soup too. Solid 5 stars from me for the Tom Kha soup here! I really miss their old location 4 Seasons where they had it served in a hot pot and had the picnic tables outside. At this new location now they only have disposable dishes and no outside seating. While I find the Tom Kha really perfect here, other dishes are a little less consistent for me. for example last time I got the red curry it was very watery and not quite as good. I did really like their pumpkin curry here too. If you enjoy spice I recommend getting the highest spice level here (5/5), it's definitely far below the spice level of many Thai restaurants. At their previous location I really enjoyed the fresh rolls with tofu but I have yet to get them at the new location. Oh and they are vegan and vegetarian friendly in my experience. 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 guess we were lucky to find Luckie's as a Thai-Asian cuisine which does both. They're located in the Fry's shopping center. Inside you seat yourself at any of the open tables. I would guess they can seat about 40-60 for capacity. There are menus you can take from the counter back to your table. There are also some pictures of the dishes above the main counter to see what you might be ordering. The staff was very friendly and helpful when placing the order. We started with eggrolls which were more like Chinese Spring Rolls. Their spring rolls are much different and Thai style using the clear wrap and not fried. My brother had the chicken curry while I had the seafood curry and mom had the shrimp with lobster sauce. The rice arrives as a large scoop in a separate bowl while the main dish is in another bowl. They're easily mixed on the plate. The seafood curry was very tasty and not too spicy. It came with shrimp, salmon and mussels along with peppers and onions. The shrimp with lobster sauce was too much for mom so we took it home. The staff offered a box of fried rice to take home as well at no extra cost. Most dishes cost around $12-$18. I was glad we made the right choice for lunch.
