Nattha's Bann Thai Asian is one of the best Thai spots I've found. The Khao Soi was excellent and…read moretasted very authentic, with rich flavor and just the right balance of spice. Their Chinese food selection is also very flavorful and well done. The almond chicken was amazing, and the mango sticky rice was honestly the best I've had outside of Thailand. The service was also great--very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Definitely worth visiting if you want authentic Thai food and great Chinese dishes in one place.

Today, I ordered the Mussaman Curry, mild, no spice, and the pineapple red curry, mild, no spice…read more When I got home and tasted them, the Mussaman Curry was mild but the pineapple red curry was very hot- at least a 2-3 on the spice scale. I had ordered mild because my daughter only eats mild curry and loves pineapple. I also don't like spicy food. I called the restaurant and spoke to a male. I explained the problem. He told me that the pineapple red curry cannot be made with no spice. He offered for me to return the curry and they could try to remake it for me. I told him that my husband was eating it so I could not return it. I shared that I've gotten red curry at other Thai restaurants and they are able to make it mild with it tasting spicy. The man said to me, "I don't know what other Thai restaurants make red mild curry, but we don't." I asked to speak to the owner. He told me the owner was not there and asked if I wanted to speak to the Chef. I declined and ended the call. First of all, he was not really apologetic about the issue. Secondly, while he initially tried to rectify the situation, he ended up escalating it by arguing with me. My family will no longer be dining/getting take out from this establishment and will start recommending other Thai restaurants to our friends/family.

I came here for dinner last night and had an excellent experience--service was great from start to…read morefinish. I ordered the crab puffs and chicken pad Thai. Both were good, though the pad Thai was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I stopped by on a Thursday shortly after 7pm. There were three tables with diners, including one…read moretable of six people. All three tables had left within 15 minutes. It was a quiet meal. My server was prompt and friendly. I ordered chicken pad Thai medium spiced. Food came out hot within minutes and was well-portioned and presented. My dish was tangy more than spicy. Next time I will order my Thai food spicy. I would have given this dining experience five stars, but there was a long, gaping crack in the wall by my booth that bothered me. This crack traveled from the ceiling down toward the floor. It definitely needs to be fixed.

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!

My colleague suggested this establishment, and it certainly lived up to expectations. Every item we…read moreordered was delightful. It is a rather small and unassuming place, and it can become quite crowded. I observed that one of the servers appeared to be new and was receiving some instruction. I do hope he managed the situation gracefully.

My favorite Vietnamese food in Tucson in terms of the food itself…read more My favorites here: #16 Seasoned Julienned taro root with vermicelli noodles, pickled daikon and the typical vietnamese herbs etc and sweet soy sauce. It comes with fried tofu typically but they let you exchange the tofu with a couple of their delicious vietnamese crispy rice paper egg rolls that are stuffed with deliciously seasoned tofu (#14 on the menu) and that's my favorite way to order it. Mixing all of it together is heaven. This is by far my favorite here! I find that I generally really like taro- all parts of the plant! The root as served in this restaurant and in Thai desserts, the leaves in filipino laing and the stalk (elephant ear stalk) in vietnamese Canh Chua soup. #20 Fried rice noodles dish (ask for the crispy option!) . This one became quite expensive recently but when I had it in the past it was delicious. Definitely get the crispy version! #14: Those vietnamese crispy rice paper egg rolls that are stuffed with deliciously seasoned tofu are so good. They let you get them a la carte but the full plate comes with the sauce and herbs. I get them as part of #16 as described above so it has the sauce and herbs in that dish as well. I really love that they have a vegetarian and vegan menu and that they have the vegan sweet soy sauce available in place of fish sauce for that menu. The restaurant is attached to Lee Lee international supermarket which is an absolute must visit in my opinion for international food lovers and people who want to learn about world cuisines. It's a great place to find international ingredients that are not easily found elsewhere. 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!

This restaurant really speaks to what family and generational recipes can do for a restaurant. When…read morewe walked in after shopping at the international market next door, we were seated right away. 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!

You just KNOW the food is good when the egg rolls are eaten on the drive home from the pickup…read moreorder. And that is exactly what happened here! The Tom Yum fried rice was an inspiration - just thinking about it makes me want more and more. The Pad See Ew was solid! Selfishly I could have used a bit more sauce and spice, but that may be personal preference. Fast service and generous portions, what more can you want?

I like being able to order online, it was very easy to use. When I went to pick up I was bit early…read morebut we just sat and waited which was fine. The cashier was very kind and actually gave my 3&6 year old apple juice boxes while we waited: that was a nice gesture. The food was delicious, although I should've gotten everything spicier (for my taste). We got the pad Thai 47, wonton soup 25, and general Tao 60 & crab puffs. I like that the crab puffs actually taste like crab and not like straight cream cheese. Didn't get a chance to take any pics as we were really hungry and everything got eaten quickly. I haven't been here since we first moved into the Rita ranch area over 5 years ago. Happy to see they survived through the covid times and are still in operation. I definitely recommend this place.

I got the vegan rice noodles with pan fried tofu in the coconut milk sauce, and my husband got the salmon rice noodles, in the spinach sauce. They were both really good. The owner is nice and uses organic ingredients. He has quite a story which you can read about on the wall when you come in. We definitely will return.

VEGAN! A Hidden Gem in Tucson It's been a long time since…read moreI've been truly wowed by a new restaurant in Tucson--but tonight changed that. The vegan options were not just available, they were abundant and clearly crafted with care. The chef absolutely knows what he's doing! I enjoyed a lentil patty rice bowl (made spicy--highly recommend), and my husband had the vegan fried rice with tofu. We also shared the naan, and everything was aromatic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The setting was ideal--quiet enough for a heartfelt dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend, perfect for private conversation. The owners were incredibly kind and attentive, offering thoughtful suggestions that turned out to be spot on. I'm so grateful we found this spot--it feels like a diamond in Tucson!

This was a solid Thai food experience! I'd probably give it closer to 4.5 stars but rounded up…read more We got the pad see ew with chicken, the teriyaki chicken and the green curry. All we're flavorful, with well cooked veggies, meat an rice/noodles - nothing overcooked and everything seemed high quality and fresh. The curry had lots of fun flavor notes and came with fluffy rice. The pad see ew could've used a little more sauce but was sweet and savory in the way you hope pad see ew will be. The portions were reasonable too, with 3 dishes ending up with enough leftovers for lunch for 2 people the next day. We'll definitely add this into our takeout rotation!

I'll start by saying that the Tom Kha soup here is by far the best in Tucson in my opinion. I tried…read moreevery it at every single Thai restaurant in town and for me, no other come close to how good it is here. 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.
