Bai Thong Restaurant

Thai food the way I like it to be. Complex layers of flavors. One dish , the drunken noodles, was particularly delicious. I ordered spice level hot. It was the exact balance of heat and sweet that makes a thai dish perfect, a treat that pulls the taste buds in several directions. All 3 dishes were excellent---spice, sweet, basil, good balance of everything. Please, if you have been craving thai, this is the place to go in Tucson. UPDATE, went 11/29, still incredible food! JB

I lived in Flagstaff where there are several awesome Thai places and had trouble finding the same quality in Tucson. My friend suggested this place and I have been back several times since for lunch. Best red curry I’ve had in a while, very unique. Flavors are very good. Thai fried rice is unique. Quality of the beef is hit or miss. Spicy level good, very spicy but can be inconsistent. Depending on who serves you, service is not always the friendliest (the young guy is very friendly, the older guy is straight down to business). Their Thai tea is too expensive for what you get and isn’t that great.
