This place has change for the worst, I do not even know if this is the correct restaurant to review at but since its in the same location, I am assuming it was bought out and replace with this knock off.
I ordered a drunken noodles and that’s it, when I got the dish I had to go up and get it while asking was it mine because had a number show up on the order screen but I had missed it but also I assumed since I was dining in that it would be brought to me regardless, no that was not the case.
Moving onto the food the “drunken noodles” i had received was different from the menu screen, I thought i was going to get the meal with the thin wide noodles as is typical in Thai places serving drunken noodles. What I had failed to realize was that it is served with spaghetti noodles which I learn is some Italian fusion dish? Either way the meal I did get was very bland in flavor, there was an overpowering taste of basil or some spice, little heat, and most of all a lack of flavor for the noodles which where bland looking as they were cooked with 0 sauces. Typically if you look up recipes for drunken noodles you cook it with soy sauce, darken soy sauce, and oyster sauce. As the picture below shows, they did none of that and it clearly shows in the flavor profile. 15 bucks for this, would not recommenced , hell I even took it home to recook it with soy sauce and oyster sauce to make it at least bearable to consume.

Family was in town craving from their college days. Couple upstairs was so sweet & food is authentic! Boba Thai tea could’ve beeb a bit better. However still highly recommend & marketing wise they should add another sign to be seen as they are hard to see from main gate could be why their business is slow at this time as it could be missed easily.

Nice, quiet place to eat local on campus. Boba tea can be hit or miss, but their food has always been good. Not a hugely expansive menu like some other places nearby, but the items they do have they make well. Nice staff, and I appreciate the free ice water to refill my water bottle.

A hidden gem. Their chicken Pho (available for dine-in only) is the best in Tucson. Healthy comfort food. Ask for it spicy!

The perfect little mom and pop food.iv been coming here since I was a teenager and there food is still as good as the first bite ! The beef curry is so good that the meat almost melts in ur mouth. And the sauce is just right! And served on a big bed of rice !!! It keeps me coming back year after year! And the price is very nice

Nice little restaurant located on the second floor of a shopping strip on University Avenue. We stopped for some boba, so didn’t sample any food. Friendly staff and prompt service. There is a 3.75% extra charge for using credit cards, so come with cash. Open Monday to Friday from 11 am to 8 pm.

great place! tucked away on the second floor of the southwest corner of university and park, it may be somewhat easy to miss. however, it’s definitely worth going to — fantastic food, large selection of boba / drink flavors, and very friendly/fast service! definitely my favorite restaurant on university

Hidden gem! Great food and great service. It’s upstairs above snakes and lattes. Really nice to sit outside for a “rooftop” feel.
