The basil chicken will change your life for the better. The first time I had it I could not stop commenting on how good it was in between bites and my credit score improved by 10 points (possibly unrelated). The service is somehow even better than the food! The warmth and speed of service is unmatched, and I've worked in restaurants for decades. As much as I would love for this hidden gem to remain just that, I also paradoxically hope the owners receive immense success and more business than they know what to do with because they are doing everything with a high level of excellence read more

Chicken panang is awesome. Same with Pad Thai and drunken noodles . Fir a lighter meal I've gotten the appetizer rolls. All very tasty read more

Love this family owned Thai restaurant! My favorite item is the Pad Thai. We got it medium the first time and it was on the spicer side for me, but when I got the mild I can definitely taste the sweetness on the Pad Thai. If you love sweet pad thai, you will love this! The drunken noodles were really good too! I'm excited to go back and try other dishes! Very friendly staff! Not many tables so there might be a wait when it's busy during dinner time. read more

Mr. Thai Bistro is an outstanding family-owned restaurant with excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere. It was fairly busy during a weeknight. The order: Pad Thai with chicken Drunken noodles with shrimp Chicken roll The good: The drunken noodles were the highlight--sauced perfectly and packed with flavor. The shrimp in the dish were cooked well, adding to the overall balance. The chicken roll was another strong point, arriving piping hot and perfectly crispy. The bad: The pad Thai was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the white meat chicken was on the dry side, definitely overcooked. read more

Mr.Thai is a hidden gem! My three favs here are the Thai fried rice, pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles they're all pretty amazing. Also Mr.Thai is one of the few places where the spice levels are pretty, also the service is great! read more

Mr Thai Bistro - R2. Thai Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The most authentic Thai food I have had in all of Phoenix! & I spent 3 weeks traveling around Thailand. Tasted so fresh as well.

This is in my opinion the best Thai I have had in the states. The family is awesome and I have never had a bad meal here. The fact that they aren't a 4.9 baffles my brain. The Pad Thai is the best but everything else is just as good. The BASIL CHICKEN IS INSANELY GOOD read more

4.5/5 stars, but I'm rounding up because I love small family owned businesses :) Service can be slow here, but when you do get served, all of the staff are incredibly nice. They do take reservations. The restaurant itself is about medium-sized. You can definitely seat parties of around 8 people. You may have to ask if they can seat more. We all loved the food! My table got an order of the orange chicken and the Thai basil chicken. I was so impressed with how crispy the coating was. Even for leftovers, my chicken was still crispy despite being microwaved too. The Thai basil chicken is a bit on the salty side, so I would recommend eating it with the plain rice that it comes with. Their fried rice is also incredibly good on its own. You can really taste that smoky wok hei. I've been told that Mr Thai Bistro has been around for a long time. Their food is so good and they definitely deserve the business they get. I hope they can continue to stick around. I'm looking forward to returning when my partner and I need some comforting Thai food. read more

You know the food is good when it takes you back to fond memories... my God!!! The Mr. Thai Fried Rice Supreme took me back to San Francisco 30 years ago when I first had thai food. It was THAT good. We also had Pad See Ew and Coconut Ice Cream with Fried Bananas and again, chef's kiss moment!!! Cozy atmosphere and excellent customer service. I would vote this as #1 Thai food in East Valley -- possibly all of Arizona!!! read more

Fresh, well prepared, not salty and great presentation. Ordered chicken fried rice and orange chicken.

Very nice family owned restaurant, the food and service is amazing. This is a favorite spot for our family and friends, a small restaurant but very friendly mom, dad and aunt all work there and the son River is a family favorite with his positive energy and attitude. We highly recommend them for a small intimate experience. read more

Tried it for something new. Had Spicy Garlic Chicken and loved it. It was very crispy and spice was perfect and flavorful. Everything was great. Service was extra friendly and reasonable prices. Love our experience and will be back to try more read more

We were trying to go to another restaurant in the area that was closed so stumbled upon Mr. Thai and so glad we did. The crispy spring rolls were good but some in our party were grilled with the taro. The beef with broccoli was amazing with a mild spice. The beef was good and not too chewy. Overall the dish had a good ginger taste. The orange chicken was delicious The drunken noodles with shrimp was very good. The noodles were a little over cooked for hubby but he loved the flavor and the shrimp were butterflied nicely. The green curry with chicken was also delicious. Great sauce. We can usually tolerate and enjoy a medium heat and appreciated the recommendation for mild. Each dish was tasty and had a nice heat level. read more

Everything here was hit out of the ballpark! We came because our normal place was closed and my goodness what a good decision! The food was immaculate tasting with the perfect amount of spice. We'll definitely be back. read more

Mr Thai Bistro - Z2. Crispy Orange Chicken - Thai Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

In the area and wanted to try this spot out for dinner. We ordered takeout since it was 830 and they were going to close at 9. The inside is a small dining room with 7 tables and all of them were occupied. We ordered veggie rolls as app and mango sticky rice for dessert. Hubby ordered the crispy basil chicken entree and I got the pad see ew with tofu instead of chicken. The pad see ew was flavorful but the noodles seemed soggy and the texture was weird for my liking, but the tofu and veggies were good. I will have to come back another time to try something else or give it another shot. Just wasn't feeling it this time. The hubby absolutely RAVED about the crispy basil chicken. He loved the flavor (sweet but savory with a hint of spice since he ordered level 1) and the crispness (not overly breaded so you can still taste the chicken), and the glaze and Thai basil was a great compliment to the whole dish. He was very impressed and even said he would get the same dish the next time we go again. The sticky rice was scrumptious and a great way to end the meal! Can't wait to go back and sit down for a meal there. read more

I've just started writing reviews on Yelp and had to write one for Mr Thai Bistro since it's my go to place for Thai food, I've been coming here for about 9 yrs now. If you are looking for a great hole in the wall place with fantastic Thai food, this is your place. It's family owned and authentic and just delicious, service is always great too. Be warned that this place can make spicy food (Thai hot), they have to tone it down a bit for me. My favorite dish is the crispy basil chicken, I always order that every visit plus one or two of the other dishes. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Also, they make my favorite Thai tea in town, it' has a rich flavor and not overly sweet like most places. Give place a try if you are craving Thai. read more

First time here, willing to try due to great Yelp reviews. Average location in aging strip center. Inside, clean, neat and comfortable. Friendly greeting from what I assume is Mom and Pop. Wanting to try everything possible ordered the app combo. Favorite items, fried wontons. Wife had chicken satay and white rice. Not what I was expecting. Not skewered and grilled chicken strips. Instead, 3 good size pieces, curry flavor, more Indian style. I had Mango fish, and it was delicious. Large filet of a mild white fish, light crunchy coating and fried to perfection. The accompanying mango salad was vinegary and spicy, fresh and Herby. Served with a side of white rice. Plentiful portions, presented by very nice people. All the food had a great home made taste. This is a good, solid place to which we will return. read more

Really good server, he was a bit younger - super attentive, quick & kind. Was definitely hands down the best orange chicken we had ever had.

The service was so speedy as well as polite! The ambience made you feel like you were in Thailand. Definitely an adventure. read more

Our favorite Thai spot in the entire valley. Pad Thai, yellow curry, basil chicken... literally everything we've tried is amazing and will leave you obsessed. All the dishes actually have FLAVOR and taste like the spices are rich, authentic, and well balanced. The nicest family run this spot too- they are so kind! We moved around the valley quite a bit, and it's our running joke "that house is too far from Mr Thai, we can't move there". read more

Mr Thai Bistro - Thai iced coffee - Thai Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Wow. Prices went way up. This is very unfortunate. $20 for Phad Thai is outrageous. It's good, but not $20 good. Sad sad day.

We went here because I was really craving Thai food and they had good reviews by my house. To start, the reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the service was slow - meaning the food. It took about 40 minutes. Getting our order and water while we wait was phenomenal service. It was just the food took forever. I'm also giving 4 stars because they have onions in the fried rice. At least they were big enough I could pull them out but still gross. I also gave 4 stars because the veggies rolls were NOT was I imagined. They were out of chicken egg rolls and she suggested these instead. I thought they'd be fried with veggies inside, nope, it was rice paper with a literal salad inside. Not good. Okay, now the good stuff. My friend had the volcano seafood dish. He got it 3/5 spicy after being talked down from a 4 but was disappointed it wasn't spicy enough. However, the portion was HUGE and he got 4 whole meals out of it. It was a rice dish with seafood and curry, super delicious. It has shrimp, scallops and some other seafood. I had the Thai fried rice. I also got a 3/5 spicy but felt mine was the perfect amount of spice. Other than the onions and random huge pieces of tomato, it was delicious! They had a lot of chicken, which I liked and it was a good amount of food!! Overall would come again. read more

I would give this place a 5 as it was all around for me. We walked into this little place and thought we might not get a table: They only have 10 tables or so but it would be worth the wait for me. We were greeted right away and he has a very big family vibe for me. We ordered the appetizer that has egg rolls, wontons, tofu, and shrimp it was all so good! Had a sweet and sour sauce with or without nuts in it. They were fast to take our order and friendly as well: the spice level for me was perfect but my friend said even level two for her was too hot. We will definitely be back as the food was cooked fresh, and portions were good size as well! read more

Crispy Basil Chicken..... I'm not sure which is more disappointing, the fact that there was almost no chicken in this dish or that the chicken that was there had all the breading slide right off once the fork touched it. There was zero "crispy" in this dish, soggy dough balls with a few tiny pieces of chicken. $19 for this? If I had to guess, maybe 1/4 pound of actual chicken here. It's been a bit since I've done Mr Thai. I recall it being pretty darn good in the past. If this is the norm, that's no longer the case. Also my wife got pad see ew, nothing special and also not much chicken. read more

Mr Thai Bistro - Crispy Basil Chicken - Thai Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Seems like I love everyplace that has Bistro in the name. Mr Thai Bistro is no exception. First let me start off with the restaurant. It was small and charming. They have tvs hanging in every corner which I did find a little distracting. Wrestling tv shows and Thai don't go well together. But let's get to the important part the food. Food is delicious. It's well done Thai. Very consistent with great flavor. I love Pad See Ew. I get all judgy if you don't see the rice noodles charred from being pan fried. There was browning on them so they passed! Whew! I do wish they used wider rice noodles but still they were delicious. Curry's have a great flavor. I seem to expect no so runny curry but that was fine too. Service was stellar. Love seeing real Thai folks cooking, greeting, and serving. For a neighbor Thai restaurant this place is awesome. See you soon Mr Thai! read more

The food was some of the best I've had in a long time. Full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The pineapple fried rice was AMAZING. The service was fast but it took long enough for the food to come out that I had no doubt they were cooking it to order from scratch. Super friendly staff too. Will be returning! read more

COVID FRIENDLY! I'm tired of eating my own cooking! Luckily Mr. Thai welcomes you during these weird times by being mindful of your safety. They will accommodate your distancing needs by bringing the order to you car-side by calling them when you arrive or the option to come inside to pick up your order. Don't worry! The staff wears a mask! I chose to stay outside the front door to receive my food. After signing the credit card slip, the gentleman conveniently has a pump of hand sanitizer ready for you and graciously squrited the sanitizer in my hands after signing. It reminds me of the bathroom attendees at the clubs! All they are missing are some cologne and swisher sweets. lol They go the whole 9 yards for COVID safety measures. I felt like a VIP! The food remained warm and delicious by the time I got home. And the food presentation did not lack even as take out. The owner is very friendly and despite hardship during the crisis maintains a positive attitude. "Just gotta hang in there and keep going. That's all we can do", is what he said when I asked how business was doing. This is the type of family restaurant we need to keep open and keep in our community. Be sure to stop by for excellent service and great food! read more

A wonderful hard working family making spectacular Thai food in Gilbert! Everything is made from scratch, mostly by the mother. Her coconut ice cream is delectable. We normally get Pad Thai, but the orange chicken is good too. The last time we had giant calamari rings, delicately breaded, piping hot & tender! Listen, just get on over to Mr. Thai Bistro or send your dasher to hook you up. I absolutely recommend Mr. Thai Bistro. read more

Yummy, the best Thai food I've had thus far! Stopped by for dinner during the week and we were the only ones dining in. The server (he might be the owner) quickly told us to pick a table and he dropped off the menus. There were a lot of yummy dishes to look from so we ended up ordering three to share. We ordered a chicken fried rice, a tom yum soup, and a chicken veggie delight dish. All with medium spice. He said they had three different spice levels. The soup came out first and it was piping hot. It was severed to us in a hot pot with the flame lit inside. The soup was really good but it was really really spicy. The broth is delicious. The chicken fried rice has got to be one of the best ones I've ever tasted! It was so good! The chicken veggie delight was also really good and had a unique flavor. Ugh my mouth is watering at the moment... The server was great and friendly! We will definitely be back! read more
