Malees's Thai Kitchen

I started coming to eat here about two years ago and I have to say that was a fantastic decision. I have my favorite dishes but everything I have tried has been amazing. I wish I could recommend it even more.

I rate and try Pad Thai across the entire Pacific Northwest, and I can say that this is a very solid choice for an authentic Pad Thai. The portion size was a little lacking compared to other places, but was worth it for the flavor and low price of $12.

Consistency is near perfect for what I would like in a pad thai, but I do feel it goes a little too much towards the limey flavor. If there was more of a savory flavor than a limey flavor to compliement, it would be near perfect (a little too sweet on the sauce as well). The sauce is quite thin and coats the noodles nicely. The presentation and flavor is pretty good though, I would say 8/10 for my scale. Everything is great except flavor is a bit lacking when trying for perfection.

Service was exactly what I would want at a Thai Restaurant. Not too in your face, but my server was paying good attention to my table and when I needed more water and such. 10/10 for service in my eyes. You're not going to get a fancy restaurant dining service experience here, but you'll get exactly what would compliment the atmosphere.

This gets 5 stars for Portland standards. If this was Seattle or Vancouver this would be 4.

Ordered salad rolls on the website, asked for tofu. They fulfilled my order but when I got home it was shrimp. Went back, they said they don’t do tofu salad rolls. Now I have shrimp salad rolls that I don’t want…I wish they would’ve told me so I could cancel my order.

All its perfect it should be more full all days(:

Despite being open until 9pm online was shooed away by the owner after taking the time to come out here and try the place. Also, older gentleman turned off their open sign on our approach. Unbelievable.

It was a quiet afternoon. Personal gentleman server. Prompt. Kind. Wonderful soup spicythe way I like it! Thank You!!!!

Hadn’t been here in a while, won’t be back after this attempt. Had to throw beef skewers away, looked awful and just full of fat. Curry was runny but tasted alright. Pad Thai tasted like what you can get from Albertsons. Hate to leave bad reviews for local business but Malee’s isn’t very good.

Had the Bangkok beef. Outstanding flavor. Spice was not overpowering to the rest of the flavors. Everything was perfect. Definitely recommend this place.

Delicious

Every time I have been here, I feel abandoned in the lobby. I just have never felt welcome or taken care of. I don't know why.
For this experience, it was a Monday late lunch in early March. It was cold inside till about 1pm, when we felt the heat kick on.
If the air temp was warm, the feel inside is still cold. Hard chairs, walls, colors, etc.
Service was...humble, let's say. Just kind, methodical, laissez-faire, and maybe that's the issue with the Lobby?
All that aside... Best Thai food I've had in a long time. This place outperforms. This time, I had the Red Curry. Outstanding.

Boat noodle soup. The best soup I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating. I don't normally leave reviews. I will be returning, however I don't think I will ever order anything else.
