I’ve been eating here for at least 10 years. They have such fresh amazing food. I’ve tried many different dishes and loved them all. My go to comfort is definitely the pineapple fried rice and spring rolls. They also have super delicious Thai iced tea. The staff is always so sweet Snr personable. I am for sure a life long customer ✨️

For the price and the quality of the dishes is not worth it.

They lied about the food being vegan. We’ve gone here for years and always double check that the curries can be made vegan and that they don’t have any shrimp, oyster, fish or dairy in the sauce. This week I ordered the green curry like I always do and asked these regular questions. The waitress responded that the curries all have shrimp sauce in them and it can’t be removed (except for the yellow curry), she then confirmed this with the kitchen. I was shocked that this was the case all along because they have always assured me there was not. We are very disappointed in this restaurant and that they told us over and over that the dish was vegan when it wasn’t. We have taken our vegan friends here and given Char Thai a lot of money while they were lying to us about their food. This could be very dangerous if someone in our group had a shrimp allergy. I hope they make sure in the future that their staff knows what exactly is in their food, or is at least willing to check before misleading people. They lost many loyal customers today, we will not be returning.

Wonderful nostalgic meal! After not having Char for many many years, I grabbed some takeout with a friend and it was just as delicious as it was so long ago! Will revisit other menu items again soon! I had the veg pad Thai and my friend had the pad Thai with chicken. Both were devoured!

I’ve been wanting to try this place, mostly because it’s tucked away near my house. Also, I love thai food. Since they don’t do dine in right now, I called in an order for takeout. I ordered a variety of my favorites, some thai standards, and a new item I had never tried. I was very happy with all of the items I got. Staff was super friendly and very safe. My food was ready on time. This will likely become my weekly Thai place. I would highly recommend this food for a night in.

Literally the smallest portion of food I’ve received anywhere in the United States for the exorbitant price they charged. It was a slap in the face. I thought the waitress was very nice and service was good. The food was a complete joke. I wonder the exposure people that are rating this food highly have actually had. After reading the reviews and then experiencing this place for myself I was dumbfounded. Bewildered and forced to pay by my moral code but wishing I could’ve walked out after the food was delivered.

A modest restaurant in a strip mall with the best Thai food in Tucson. The service was a little on the slow side but we’ll worth the wait!

BEWARE! Their food is DOUBLE THE PRICE listed on their menu. 3 dishes and an appetizer was $65. Definitely not worth it.
