Mai Thai is not too busy at lunch time on a weekend. I gravitate towards the same Thai fare over and over and Mai Thai hits the spot.

Portion sizes are much smaller! Paid more for the Thai beef salad, bur smaller. It used to be enough lettuce, veggies and meat to share for two. There was hardly any lettuce or veggies. Still tastes great, but not even giving one portion is ridiculous

This gem is a real treat! The pad see ew had probably some of the best beef I've had in a pad see ew. You could really taste the charbroiled beef and veggies. The yellow curry had enough spicy kick to enjoy and savor all the flavors. And it was my first time trying the sticky rice... WOW. It was absolutely divine. A warm coconut hug! Also, the mango were incredibly fresh. I can't wait to go back and try more items! The service was amazing and they are so sweet and nice.

Food is amazing! First time here, I got take out and tried the yellow chicken curry, medium spice with white rice, mango sticky rice, and an ice Thai tea. All the food I had was delicious and cooked perfectly! They have a very good lunch special for dine in in week days as well! I called my order in and the lady helping me was so helpful and kind. She even gave me a free cream cheese wonton since it was my first time going and it had just the perfect amount of filling, and a good crisp on the outside even with it being takeout. She also made my Thai tea right when I got there to ensure the quality of it. I haven't had a Thai tea as good as this one, it actually has flavor and doesn't taste like sweet milk like at most places. They also have the blue kind of mango sticky rice which is THE BEST! Even the rice was cooked perfectly. I have no complaints and will definitely be coming back! However I will say if you eat spicy, you could likely handle spicy level 3, as I got medium level 2 and the spice level was equivalent to pepper, in my opinion. For better reference, I eat jalapeños, Serranos, Valentina and am fine, once I have a good amount of Tapatío I'm done, so keep in mind when you choose your spice level :)

Great place to bring your friends for a group meet up or a date. Clean comfortable atmosphere. My friends and I come here pretty often and everything we've ordered has always been authentic and well made.

Favorite dishes included the crab fried rice, boat noodles, e-san sausage, papaya salad and the pad thai. Its seasonal, but I really love the sticky mango rice here. The dishes are hefty in size and great to share.

Some of the worst Thai food I've ever had. Ordered "Phad Thai" take-out, and got soggy, overcooked, chaos, that looked like garbage and didn't taste right. Too much tamarind or something, and yet somehow managed to be dry. Asked for a refund and the "owner" a rude little woman tries telling me "no" because I drank the can of soda I also purchased to wash away the disgusting taste of the food. After reminding her of what a "charge back" and Google reviews can do to a business, she finally gave me my money back. Avoid.

7.12.24 when we were there.. this place seems to be visited by none asians.. food good but price is on the higher side. My dish doesn't seem it has enough flat noodle portion.
Staff are very friendly.

Today is the last day of the July 4 holiday, and it is also Sunday. I originally planned to go to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for dinner, but there were too many people where I wanted to go. I had to wait for more than an hour to get a table for dinner. I just found a Thai restaurant nearby. For a restaurant, I found Mai Thai, a Thai restaurant. When I arrived at my destination, I found no one waiting for a table outside the door. I felt a little uneasy. I didn’t know how good this restaurant was, but seeing that it was getting late, I decided to do it. Try it once in the mood of a white mouse. After entering, there were only six of us and one guest. Unexpectedly, the service here is so good that we booked this restaurant. I don’t know how to order Thai food, so I just listened to the waiter’s introduction to the dishes. I ordered eight dishes, all delicious and delicious. I am quite picky about what I eat, but I found the product to be really good. And the charge is not expensive. There are eight dishes for six people. In the end, two portions of sticky rice with mango and coconut juice were given. The total including tip was only $256-. My friends who were traveling with me were full of praise. Worth giving it 4 stars. Thank you Mai Thai for a lovely dinner.

It was pretty good! I'm not a tai food person. It tends to be way too spicy, or almost no spice at all! There was a lot of ginger flavor, (fresh ginger) but not much else to balance it out! The steak wasn't bad for what it was, but again not thrilled with spices. They were very watered down tasting. And wasn't a good balance for me. But again, I'm not a Thai connoisseur! Also veggies were overcooked for me. I ordered Steak that came with rice and veggies . Veggies were on the soft side and rice was a wet paste. The bottom half of the container looked like a clear thick paste. You couldn't see any rice grains. I think this food was edible and pretty healthy. But way over prepared and bland. I hate writing these kinds of reviews .. but maybe they will change it and help their business! I would try this at a different time. But I would be prepared to change it and fix it up.
