“ We did takeout and ordered Pork Pad Thai, Thai tea, and Mango sticky rice. Person that checked us out was very polite and thoughtful. The pad thai was very delicious, thai tea was on point, and mango sticky rice was bomb. 10 out of 10 would come here again and very much recommend if you're in this area of town. ”

“ Been dining here since they opened & it's absolutely the BEST THAI FOOD in Tucson!! I love that the owner is mostly in charge of her kitchen. I know it was a slow start for her so I hope she gains all the business she deserves!! I never liked stir fry rice but the flavor from Mali is so delicious The yellow curry is also a go to favorite a long with crab puffs!! Owned by a woman & she runs the place with the best Thai food!!! ”
“ We had a GREAT experience at Mali Thai this evening. We ordered take out for us and family. Our vegan dishes (Yellow Curry and Pad Woon-Sen without the egg) were excellent and the non vegan dishes (Drunken Noodle with beef, shrimp, & chicken, and the mixed vegetables with chicken) all got rave reviews. We will definitely eat there again. The staff was very friendly and helpful. ”
“ The service, atmosphere and food were wonderful. This is really “clean and fresh” food so no worries about not eating healthy but the flavors don’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out on something. All of the sauces totally complimented their dish and the portions were large enough to share. It is worth the drive to Rancho Vistoso , Oro Valley as your taste buds will thank you. Price is also very reasonable. ”
“ Best Thai food and service we've had in Oro Valley/Tucson yet! The waiters were so kind and helpful. The food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the spring rolls, calamari, wings, yellow curry and especially the pad see ew. We'll definitely be back. ”
“ Amazing and authentic Thai food! I always recommend this place to anybody I know heading to Tucson for the weekend. I love their Pad Thai and their noodle soup selection. Always friendly customer service every visit. This time we tried something different from our usual order and ordered the Mango Chicken we keep hearing about and it did not disappoint. I love the crispness of the chicken and the sauce was the perfect amount. I loved the Spicy Fried rice with medium spice. It had a good kick from the first to the last bite. You can taste the basil over the spice and it is delicious. The portion is pretty good for lunch and so filling. I definitely felt like I could use a nap after such an amazing meal. ”
