Reviews for Thai China Bistro in Tucson, AZ
Noticed this little place after driving by a few times while going to other destinations. Glad I decided to stop by for lunch. ... I personally love Thai food and after trying the curry I definitely recommend this place. The bold flavors were awesome in thered curry - creamy, spicy, and sweet. The yellow curry is about what I expected but still very good in comparison to othersI've had before. While it might be pricy try out the bbq pork bun (open faced) its a nice appetizer! As for the staff, veryfriendly people and are attentive; couldn't complain. Definitely a new spot to go to every once in a while for my own rotation. Give it a try! Read more
Usually I would go for a one star but I'm already lenient because it's a mom and pop shop and it'll be just unfair to discourage... them but... The food is okay at best. Nothing special but also not bad. It just has no unique flavor. It's mostly bland for themost part... Now the service...oh dear. The place has seven tables at top and it happened that I came as the third guest. Therewas one table before me that was eating and a table that looked like they just ordered. After being seated and given menus, thegentleman that seemed like is the owner, proceeded to leave to answer a phone call and then another table walked in that he hadto seat. Then a take out order came in and it just kept going downhill from there. Now he has seven tables, an order of takeoutand still has to look after the two tables besides taking our order and then figuring out the rest of the tables that cameafter... Few moments of chaos, he finally takes our order. We are already 20 minutes in. More people are coming in but there isno room. Somebody opted to sit outside but he was number 8 in the queue and sadly he walked away after he was ignored for a longtime. An hour and 10 minutes later we got our food. I got my appetizer about 10 minutes before my entree. An entire visit tookan hour and 35 minutes on a Sunday around noon. Honestly I suggest getting help. Nobody can do a restaurant by themselves. Youneed help. Those seven tables that you have inside the small restaurant cannot be maximized if you're going this slow. You gotto figure out how to keep those tables moving so you can make more money. If on average, each table is going to sit an hour anda half, you're not going to reach your potential. And to tie all of this together the price point is out of line. The portionsare small which is okay but it has to match the price. Not for something that's this mediocre. Read more
Got the lunch special for the cashew chicken , general tao and hunan chicken! Food was delicious and served well. Waiter was... excellent Read more
So glad they?ve opened again! Their former location was closer, but we?ll definitely make the drive. One of our two favorite... Thai restaurants in Tucson (the other has sadly closed permanently). The food has always been excellent and flavorful and theyare very accommodating to food allergies. Can?t wait to eat there again! Read more
The food was really good and the boba with tapioca pearls helps beat the heat! The old gentleman waiter was great at setting up... the tables for a small crowd and he is a great conversationalist too! The menu for both Chinese and Thai have good choices, forsuch a small establishment. The pics don't do the flavor justice ???? Read more
Tried Thai China Bistro (the one that just opened on Pantano and Broadway) went in there and it was not busy but the two (maybe... owners) were there and they were beyond nice. So patient and they took their time to explain the difference between Lo Mein andPad Thia. I went with a spicy Pad Thai which was absolutely delicious. I would say next time I would ask for a bit less saucebut it was delicious ???? I would definitely come back again and try other foods. Everything sounds delish!!! Thank you forbeing so kind and patient with me and guiding me to what I wanted. Read more
We were so excited to try this place. Not only were the egg rolls from the frozen aisle of the grocery store, they were burnt.... The hot and sour soup is even burnt. How do you burn soup? The Mongolian beef was mostly onions with little slivers of shavedbeef. The beef lo mein was dry. The sesame chicken was just chicken nuggets with sweet and sour and some sesame seeds thrown onfor razzle dazzle. The workers were super sweet, but $63.62 for burnt, dry inedible food-no thank you. We will stick with greatvillage. Read more
Really delicious and great service. Loved that the owner came up to us and asked how everything was doing.
