BAI THONG - TUCSON, AZ

We used to go to this Thai restaurant all the time but the food started losing some quality. The chicken wasn't all white meat and it wasn't tender and there was a lot of gristle in pieces. Plus the general flavor of the food just didn't have the zip.

So we boycotted it for more than a year; went back and the same assessment. So then we avoided it for about 3 years. Last night we decided to try again and oh are we glad!

We shared a Mussaman curry with chicken and Pad Woon Sen with chicken. Both dishes were outstanding. The chicken  was plentiful and tender and there were lots of veggies in the noodle dish which had the very thin glass almost translucent noodles. We ordered the curry dish medium and it was just on the edge of my heat tolerability.

The service has always been good even when the food was not and this continued on our recent visit. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with lots of temple posters and landscapes of Thailand and beads and red and gold hangings and tinsel.

We are so glad we took the risk and gave this place "one more try". Its located on Speedway close to Swan right next door to the 99c store and the New Life Health Center.
