Oh my goodness! The tofu spring rolls with peanut sauce were so filling and tasty that we attempted to get them the day following our initial visit but, unfortunately we got there as they were closing for lunch (I think that’s between 3:30-4:30p). The evening before my cousin had a pineapple based dish that she enjoyed so much she referred to it as being an aphrodisiac because of the way it made her feel, lol. I had the green coconut curry and I tell you no lie my mouth is watering even as I type this! I am visiting the area but will definitely stop back there before I head out of town to get some more of that tasty food. It’s a 10 out 10, do recommend for me!

The food tastes great! It’s very authentic too. I really like the green papaya salad. It tastes like what I used to get when traveling through Thailand. The servers are also really nice. It was her first day, but she was friendly and attentive. Overall, would recommend.

I love the garlic dishes here at this location. Normally spicy isn’t hot enough, but their food kicked it up a lot. The crispy fried tofu was wonderful. A nice mix of vegetables along with a bowl of rice.

Amazing food and friendly service! I got the chow mein (medium spicy) with chicken. Chicken was super tender and just burst with flavor! Can’t wait to go back!

Decent but not the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We sometimes order carry out from them when lazy to cook. We like the basil eggplant, pineapple fried rice, bbqs are tasty, Rama is good if you like peanuts. Pad z u and other noodle dishes are generally good. The Pad Thai is on the sweet side, be careful if you don’t like sweet. Their curry dishes are okay, I’ve had better ones. Dine in probably is better than carry out since we feel like some carry out dishes maybe pre-made and frozen. Prices are not bad.

It’s a far East area. Kind odd place.the room in the dinning area needs help. Needs 2 be updated. The help is normally super nice . even when u get phone orders they are nice to u.the prices are a little high .but alot of the times the food comes out nice and hot.the plates look big .food is good and always get something new when u can.for far north east Mesa it’s nice place to stop and get something different. Will be going back.

My husband and I just had lunch at 5R Cha Thai Bistro and it was so delicious. We ordered the chicken noodle (it’s like chow fun) and the yellow curry with chicken. Ordered the Thai chow mein to go with chicken and I tried it while waiting for dessert. Yum. Ordered the coconut ice cream with Roti and hubby said it was fabulous. The coconut ice cream had pineapple in it so I couldn’t eat it (I’m severely allergic to pineapple). Everything was great. We’ve been in Arizona about 20 months and have wanted to try this place. Sad that we waited so long! We will be back. If you like Thai food, this is the place to go. Our waitress was wonderful (Michele).

BEWARE – this restaurant does not take food allergies / dietary restrictions seriously. We ordered vegetarian food with tofu and our take-away contained chicken! Yikes.
