WOW!!!!!!!!!! Made a wrong turn and ended up on Miracle Mile and spotted this little palm tree-studded oasis.
You know when you're not sure about trying a new Thai place so you ask the people walking out the door if they would recommend the food, and they stop and rave about oh, say 20 of the dishes they've tried because it's the BEST thai food and experience in Tucson and they eat here three or four times a week? (....catching my breath....) Yeahhhh, that. My daughter and I ordered the green papaya salad and honestly, I am a green papaya salad snob and they nailed it. We asked for medium heat, and it had the perfect burn. The spice mix was one of the best I've had; very delicate touch yet distinctively melded flavors. Seved with an iceburg wedge so you can make little lettuce cups. FUN!
The Pad Thai was delish, a little on the sweeter side but the generous addition of peanuts, chili sauce and green onions provided the perfect amount of yang. Top of Siam, their signature curry, was great.
Returned the next morning and ran into a regular, who we sat near yesterday and who graciously and charmingly schooled us on how to navigate the American/Thai offerings on the menu. He also gave us a brief history of the joint, which was previously a motorcycle fix-it shop/informal cafe! I had the Thai Eggs and.......Oh.....my.......gawwwwd!!! Just.Go. Eat.The.Thai.Eggs!!! I made a arrangements with my daughter to meet here for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Love this place. I'm visiting from Austin and 4 Seasons would fit right in with the whole "Weird" scene. It's weird, funky, classy, great attentive service, interesting history, very comfortable and clean and AMAZING food. This place is the whole package. This is a HAPPY place.
One expects Anthony Bourdain to show up and feature 4 Seasons on his show. With it's excellent food, Miracle Mile location and fascinating owners and history, Mr.Bourdain has lots of material to work with here.

Read moreI had heard from a stranger at a cooking class, that for good Thai food this place is good prices and great food. So for a few weeks I had been meaning to check it out for myself and once I did I became a huge fan. 4 Seasons offers Chinese, American and Thai dishes in a dinner like setting off of Miracle Mile. May is my server nearly every time I go and he is so engaging and warm, really making dining here so much nicer. I have mostly had breakfast at 4 Seasons and they open at 8am daily. I have had a consistently good plate every time. The place is clean and can accommodate large parties, and when they have, it hasn't slowed my food coming to our table. I really love their American Breakfast modified for me to a non-menu listed item called May's Special; white rice, chicken fried protein of choice( I get fish) topped with their fantastic Thai salsa and two eggs cooked to order. For a fun treat they offer a apple walnut banana pancake that comes sliced up on a pizza pan, so you can share easily with the table. It's far more like wonderful coffee cake than a pancake, and if you are wanting a little sweet with your breakfast I highly recommend trying it once. I think you might become hooked. There are two restrooms that are one stall rooms (ladies has no changing table for babies, so i'm guessing the men's would be the same). The place is also very clean and tidy.
I love 4 Seasons. Although it might not be the greatest Thai food available in all of Tucson, its a great place to enjoy good food for a reasonable price with friends, that's easily to get to off the freeway and pretty easy to go to for dinner coming from the Northwest side, before seeing a concert off Congress or UA Centennial Hall. Most of the time, I go for breakfast and feel like i've started off...
Read more07SEP2022: Wow, believe I just found my new favorite Tucson restaurant! This place made my eye’s water, not just because of the spicy sauce options, but it was so unbelievable delicious. Lemonade: Not too sweet, just right. Gra Pao with Beef - while not a picky eater (quite the opposite), I ALWAYS opt out of green bell peppers. I believe green bell peppers permeate the dish, overshadowing the stand-alone flavors of other ingredients and most often not in a complementary manner. Our server Thamonwan who was FANTASTIC by the way, had no issue with adjusting and included green beans instead which were so fresh, I suspect the farm of origin was just beyond the kitchen doors. Not a single piece of chewy beef and the dish overall was a solid 5 stars. Red Curry with chicken was wonderful, lean chicken, perfectly cooked, flavorful & rich – loved it. Hot and sour soup and egg drop were the best I have had in the city, and maybe anywhere (Chat Thai, Level 6, Westfield Sydney, Pitt St Mall, Sydney NSW 2000) was a close second. Finally, service was prompt, courteous, friendly & genuine. Thank you Thamonwan and 4 seasons,...
