Mekvilai Thai Cuisine is a hidden gem with a clean and cozy atmosphere, featuring low lights and a fantastic bar. The restaurant offers a large menu with unique noodle dishes and many vegetarian options, allowing customization with no meat, veggies, or tofu. Food is cooked to order for freshness, and their noodles are made in-house. Standout dishes include the noodle soup with tofu, drunken noodles with scallops, and red curry. The dining area is spacious and beautifully decorated in rich reds and golds with a Thai theme, adding to the experience. The restaurant is highly praised for its flavorful curry dishes and delicious, tender Chu Chee Duck, which has a perfectly crispy skin and airy texture. Portions are generous, and the food is consistently delicious, making it a favorite in Hickory. The staff is friendly and provides fast service, though some mention that online orders can have a wait of up to an hour, likely due to the freshness of the food. The restaurant’s noodles, which are made in-house, are cooked authentically, often coming out smoky from the wok with vegetables cooked just right. With lunch specials and reasonable prices, Mekvilai is considered the best Thai in Hickory, attracting loyal fans who enjoy its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere.
