This was a great experience. Food was fantastic. Service was exceptional. I ordered the Yellow Curry Seafood. It was amazing. No doubt the best I've ever had. It's Friday night and the place was pleasantly busy but not packed. read more

5 R Cha Thai Bistro - This is the yellow curry seafood. No doubt the best I've ever had. - Thai Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Just an update to my review almost 3 years ago: This place might have gotten even better! They now offer double Thai hot and Triple Thai hot. I had the yellow curry (I'm addicted) double Thai hot, and can honestly say that it was one of the hottest meals I've eaten, but still had incredible flavors. Can't wait for them to open today and may try the triple Thai hot! If hots not your thing, you can get it without any spice at all. On a side note, Boeing employees get 10% off. Have been coming here 3 years, and will continue to. read more

Wonderful food and staff. I'm so glad this place is close by. I like to try something new each time, I have never been disappointed.

I hate writing bad reviews on places that seem so dedicated but the dedication did not shine through in our food...not even a little. Our order- take out, cost was $23 and change. One order of # 21 - Green Papaya Salad - here is the explanation from their menu "Shredded, fresh green papaya with garlic, tomato, green bean, grilled shrimps and lime juice, topped with peanut." Yeah, there was papaya. Four green beans and two under-cooked almost raw, definitely NOT grilled (boiled or just thawed out?) shrimps that were small one biters at that and inedible. I also got one piece of lettuce on the side that was not fresh....super bummer. Dish was minute, dressing/ juice was very under-seasoned and literally flavorless except for the heat since I ordered it a #3 heat out of 5. A complete waste of a meal. One order of #56 - Masaman Curry - This curry should contain among other things to make up such wonderful full flavors, turmeric, fish sauce, tamarind, peanuts, coconut milk, lemongrass...it is SUPPOSED to be VERY rich in flavor. Well this one fell short, very short, no flavor, no kick ordered #3 spicy, no heat...nothing. I would love to say forgetful but we will always remember it as one of the worst Masaman curries to date. Also, even though girl who took our order and helped me when I came to pick it up was super friendly, not having any utensils and not one napkin in ToGo bag is frustrating. Too many Thai places, too many excellent Thai places to ever think about returning. Sorry 5 R Cha, we tried, won't be trying again :( read more

1st time there and decided on the red curry fish. The taste was really good, not as spicy as I thought it would be since I ordered a 4 on spicy. I would definitely go higher on the spiciness. I was thinking there would be more than just fish but 1st having thai so I guess that is normal. I would definitely recommend read more

Very good food here with excellent prices, friendly service and clean dinning room. Glad we stopped by.

Good but not consistent portions sizes. Should have gone to Royal Thai like I wanted but I was too lazy because it was cold out. That will teach me. read more

Haven't eaten a whole lot of Thai food, but this place knows what they are doing. Coconut dish is delish. Enjoy! read more

Server was on point, it was a slow day, food was perfectly cooked and taste. We tried some catfish and let me tell you... worth the brief wait and price $21. The drinks were unexpectedly delicious. They are good at it all. read more

I grew up in Mesa and never ate here. Recently decided to give it a go and I wish I came here years earlier. It was delicious! Can't wait to go back. Probably some of the best in the Mesa area. read more

Absolutely delicious Thai food. I always order with one of their coconut sauces. Definitely my preference. Thank you for giving us a variety of cuisine in my area. read more

We sat outside. The server was very nice. Since we are vegetarian, we ordered vegetable cold spring tofu roll, the drunken noodles with tofu , green curry with tofu and had cold sake( I should have got it hot). Food was delicious! Will definitely come again read more

So I moved into this neighborhood about five years ago and I've been thinking about trying this restaurant for sometime. I took my children out for dinner about two weeks ago and it was extremely disappointing. While I understand some aspects of business operations are still altered due to COVID, 13 months later, you shouldn't still be paying full price for menu items while the meals are being served in take out containers and plastic silverware for a Dine-In experience. Additionally, we were surprised to find that the owners must be quite religious as they have biblical scripture on their menus and only play religious music. If I was looking for a religious sermon, I would go to church not a restaurant. Food was average. read more

I come to eat at 5 R Cha Thai Bistro for my friend birthday party with all my friends. The food very delicious, it is the real taste Thai food. I would like to recommend everyone come to eat here. You will feel like you eat Thai foods in Thailand. read more

Awesome food, wonderful staff. New favorite date-night restaurant! I would recommend this place to any and everyone. Love!!

Order here all the time, always amazing orange chicken and pad Thai. Great service every time.

I'm such a curry addict. Seriously. This place feeds my curry addiction quite nicely. All the curries here are delicious, but my favorite is the Pineapple Curry. Today I called in for take-out, but I have eaten here several times, and I can say that the place is neat and clean and the service is good. I would have given this place five full stars, but after calling in for take-out, I have one minor issue. I ordered off the downloadable menu from Yelp. Some things, I can't pronounce, so numbers are helpful. The young girl on the phone informed me that their menu had changed, and they don't use those numbers anymore. I let her know that they need to update the menu. She said a quick "thanks for your feedback" and said she would know what I was talking about if I just told her the name of the items. But I still had to spell some of the names and there was still confusion on what I was trying to order. ... Oh well. The food still came out great and tasty. Just remember, if you are calling in, don't use the old menu. Lol. read more

5 R Cha Thai Bistro - Thai Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The only complaint I have about this place is that it's far away from where I live. I ordered the green curry and it came HOT (temperature wise), fast, and loaded with perfectly cooked vegetables and chicken. The vegetables were a very welcome surprise because most places barely give any veggies and they are usually just bamboo and eggplant in a green curry. This one had bell pepper, eggplant, bamboo, broccoli, and carrots. The curry sauce itself was perfect and the rice was well cooked and amazing. This was by far the best curry I've had in a loooong time. The service here was fast, attentive, and polite. Absolutely no (real) complaints. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food not that great. The atmosphere is not great either. I could do without the religious theme and the religious music. I highly recommend Thai Plate on Broadway & Power by Albertsons. read more

This place is great. I've been here a few times and the staff are super friendly and attentive, they almost always go above and beyond to make sure you love your experience here. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. More people should visit this quiet gem! read more

First time here and its going to be the first of many. Love the food. Ordered yellow curry with fried tofu. Each bite of tofu was crispy yet tender on the inside. Delicious. The Pad Thai? Amazing! Try the Thai Iced Tea. Its freshly made and tastes like heaven in a glass. Service? So incredibly kind and attentive. Even the water tastes great. They use Kangen filtered water! Love this place and I can't wait to come back to try other dishes. read more

Don't got here for lunch understaffed so they take forever to get your food. Also the food is not that great. At best it's 2/5 for the food.

Fantastic food! I ate here for the first time today and I'm glad I did. I started with the corn appetizer and it was delicious. I've never had anything like it before. It was flattened and fried and served with sweet and sour sauce - awesome. The beef was grilled and seasoned to perfection. I asked for a spiciness level of 4 out of 5 and they delivered exactly that - spicy and flavorful without being hot. The jasmine rice was just the right amount of sticky and the Thai iced tea was equally delicious. I got there just after they opened and was one of only about five or six people there so the service was excellent; both young ladies were personable and helped me decide what to order. Very clean with a nice, bright atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Arguably one of the best Thai places in east Mesa. There are some good ones, but add this to your list of options. I visited on a Monday for an early lunch and the place was dead quiet. Had an amazing plate of pad thai that was really well done. It's a unique presentation with a little more sauce than I'm used to...and an awkward big serving spoon that was in my way the whole meal. The spoon would work for a group...but no need to rub it in that I'm dining along :) I ordered a 4, on their spicy scale and I would say it was a mild 3 at best. So aim high if you like hot, they don't over do it at all. read more

I went at happy hour and got an appetizer & the Tom Kha soup and it was amazing. The spring roll appetizer was light and crispy and my soup was so full of flavor. read more

This is our regular place 1x every week! I used to love Chinese food but this is my new love!!

Good service and great food! The seafood hot and sour soup is amazing!!! Highly recommend.

Went to 5RCha with my wife and two friends to this location in Mesa AZ. It is not quite what we were expecting. Perhaps because both my wife and I were expecting more Asian style food, and this was to Westernized. My wife and I are of Asian background. My wife's comment after we returned home the next day was "I can cook better!". Our two friends from Kentucky were pleased with the food. I ordered the Jungle Curry (I was not to pleased with it) My wife order Tom Yum (her comments were that she cooks better Tom Yum) Our friends order the Tom Kha and some other kind of curry, and they appreciated it. About the only thing that my wife said was okay was the fresh spring rolls made with rice paper (not the fried rolls). I guess after traveling through Southeast Asia, my wife and I have gotten very picky about what we call "good" Southeast Asian food. My wife is originally from Southeast Asia, and I have travelled extensively through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. We wish the owners well, but they really need to be more authentic in their food preparations, and be ready to try some different things. I was looking for something like a Yum Woon Sen, and I did not see it on the menu. read more

I would like to start out my review with a warning to DIABETICS. The sauce they use is extremely sweet. It's some kind of super sweet syrup with salt and spices. It would be a good idea to get the sauce on the side. Other than that, the service is excellent! The decor is very nice. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful metallic paint on the walls. The menu offers a great variety and over all the food is excellent. They are closed on Mondays. read more

This is the best Thai restaurants here in Mesa!! But I have to write more so you'll publish me

We are Thai food snobs from Seattle, where there's a lot of good Thai, and finally found a top place in the Phoenix valley area. It's 5 R Cha Thai Bistro in Mesa! The food and service are amazing and the Panang Curry sauce is to die for! Very authentic (owner is Thai), and since we've moved to Mesa a month ago, we've eaten there 4-5 times already. Caution: It's addicting! read more

By far my favorite Thai food in the valley!! Food is always amazing, great portion sizes and the staff is always very friendly! Even my 4 and 6 year old love the food here (the actually Thai food not just the kids menu) read more
