“We have been coming here frequently for almost two years. The food is good and generous portions. The service is good. And usually it's quiet and we can have a good conversation as well. However this evening (1/12/23) there was a live band at the business next door and all I could hear was the thumping bass. It was very distracting and it was hard for my husband to hear me (he has a hearing loss). I will be coming back but I will check the business next door to see about the live music first. Unfortunately I left with a headache which killed the experience.Vegetarian options: You can substitute meat for tofuDietary restrictions: Many gluten free options.“
“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town - and I grew up in LA so trust me I know good Chinese food The quality is amazing - i'm very picky about meat and their meat is always high quality (none of that nasty, fat, tough dark meat you sometimes get at Chinese places). The options are super unique, too - I am OBSESSED with the crispy cherry beef, i've never had anything like that before! I will say some of their flavors aren't "traditional" like their orange chicken felt quite different from other orange chicken i've had, but it's honestly such a nice change of pace to have new foods. The staff is also super kind, we've never had a bad experience. I 100% recommend it!“
“Food is GREAT, significantly better than another nearby Thai restaurant. I had Chicken Satay Skewers and Fresh Spring rolls, oth from the appetizer menu. $19.70 + Tax + Gratuity which I think is the current market rates, but this food was BETTER than "the market" average! Value is GREAT! Atmosphere is outstanding! Also, I liked that they don't add another 3.5% to food proces for Credit Cards, unless you must use oma Credit Card. Therefore, bring CASH or a DEBIT CARD, to save EVERYONE money & time!“
“Customer service is on point! Always greeted quickly upon arrival and checked on throughout dining. One of the ladies is super sweet and offered to take a bday photo for us, and allowed us to make a protein substitution. Definitely recommend.“
“I have been dining in here more often but originally in 2012 had been ordering takeout…same cooks but different owner and I always have great Thai food meals and appetizers and it’s priced reasonably and the vegetables are always very fresh.I like that I can get Thai that’s not overpriced and the service is quick and friendly ?Vegetarian options: Great options“
“This is not just good Thai food. It is great. Last night was the best meal I've ever had here. So delicious. The tastes are all different. Reminded me of being in Thailand. While not inexpensive it is authentic all the way down to the Mekong and “
“So glad that I stopped in! Nothing like some delicious Pho on a cold day. This place was the best pho I've had in Tucson hands down and I've had my share of pho. But this place was so much more than just the food. The servers were so friendly, so nice and made me laugh which elevated my meal to an experience. I love the murals they have all over their walls of Vietnam. So beautiful and a nice thing to look at while enjoying my meal. This is now my pho place in Tucson for sure! I'll be back.“
“After almost two weeks of exotic travels in the jungles of Vietnam, I came back to the West a new man with new tastes. Already feeling like a stranger in a place that was supposed to be home, I felt very off. Perhaps it was my body returning to health after drinking Saigon Red beer instead of water every single day in the hot, humid and unforgiving Mekong Delta. Perhaps it was the lingering sense that society is lacking an essential something, a something that can transform nightmarish, capitalistic monotony into a harmonious balance of actual joy and fulfilment. Perhaps I was just hungry.It’s only been a week, but I needed to devour a Banh Mi or some Pho asap. I put on some traditional bolero music and went to the googles to find me a solid Vietnamese food stop. And lo and behold, Pho Can Tho. Described as a “Low-key, family-run eatery offering a range of noodle soups & other Vietnamese favorites.”It was about to turn into a high-key joint (or maybe middle key at least) because as soon as I walked in, I told the lady at the counter “I’m looking for Tucson’s Pho King. I just got back from Ho Chi Minh and everyone claimed to be Pho King. I feel like the competition might be a little less stiff down here.” The lady just nodded and sat me at a table for one. I could already tell this place was Pho King headquarters. I asked her for a hot coffee (**Ca Phe Sua Nong)** and was so happy when she brought me the Phin metal filter which sits atop the glass with the coffee grounds and drips into about 3 teaspoons of sweet condensed milk. While she handed me the menu I said “did you know coffee was introduced to Vietnam in 1857 by a French Catholic priest in the form of a single *Coffea arabica* tree and with the lack of fresh milk and proper storage, sweetened condensed milk became a popular substitute as both sweetener and creamer?” She gave me a weird look and walked away. Yeah, I’m not a fan of the French either, toots.My eyes sprawled over the familiar textures and fresh beauty of delicacies of recent past. The Bahn Mi Ga chicken sandwhich with liver pate spread, egg mayo, cilantro and pickled carrots, the Com Tam broken rice with grilled sausage, shrimp, pork chop, shrimp patty, shredded pork skin and egg meatloaf, the Pho with its thinly sliced beef in a sumptuous broth surrounded by noodles, fresh springs, thai basil, cilantro, jalapeno and limes. I let out a loud whisper moan: “phoooooooooooo” as I came out of a food porn daze and noticed the lady was standing in front of me waiting for my order.I think a single tear poured down my cheek and I looked up at her with ecstatic and ethereal eyes and asked her to give me a minute. She raised her eyebrow and walked away once again. I wiped my face and got up to go out front for a cigarette after taking a sip of my sweet, sweet coffee. There was a new Vietnam war brewing. And it was one for my heart. The last time I felt these feelings was a long, long time ago. Like January 25th after almost crashing into a cow on a motorcycle. And i’m so grateful to feel them again. I ordered all the things and I think I may have found the Pho King of the desert. 5 Stars.“
“Our first round of curry was pretty good! I had the panang and my bf had the Massaman. Tasty curry but needs a little depth (maybe some fish sauce). We then got a Green curry to share and it was a little disappointing. But we just took it home to liven it up a bit :) anyhow our server was great! She was very kind and informative. Loved her piercings too! Seems like a nice place but it’s outta the way for us :P“
