One of my favorite places to eat! The food is so fresh & portions are generous. I always get the pad thai but the drunken noodles, lemon grass chicken, and crab dip are also some of my favorites. I have no doubt though that everything on the menu is just as delicious!I’ve been several times and love the service every time, but most recently, our server, Sophia, was phenomenal. She was attentive, cheerful, and warm.

I really want to like Malai Kitchen. They service is great and it's so easy to work with dietary restrictions; but my food has so far been consistently unbearably over salted. On two separate visits I've had the "Hoi and Hash" and"Mekong Noodles" both heavily over salted where water breaks were needed to get through it. My guess is too heavy handed with the soy sauce. This second visit my friends' dishes are also over salted so it's not just me. I'm not sure I can come back in hopes my food is edible. It's too bad because the Mango Sticky Rice Smash is delicious
Good food, good times. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Just about every item can be made vegetarian either an alternative sauce, tofu, or both. Multiple vegetarian selections and the menu is clearly labeled if other food can or cannot be made vegetarian/vegan. Additionally, servers help with substituting and exceptions. Only deviances are a few fried foods and specialty dishes that are specifically serving fish, ribs, lamb, etc.Dietary restrictions: Super accommodating and many options available since it is a scratch kitchen with fresh ingredients.Parking: Park in the garage! The street is usually full since it’s in a shopping center, but the garage is free and plenty of room. Also the closes to the garage!Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and multiple different types of seats for kids of all ages. All the staff loves cute babies too!Wheelchair accessibility: Multiple tables that have space for wheelchairs, canes, or any type of special seating.
Zero customer service. Curbside orders are continually made incorrectly. The manager literally started an argument with me. a short-haired manager in a shirt began to threaten me, to which I replied that I would call the police if he touched me. this is the worst service I have ever encountered in my life.it doesn't matter who I am. this does not give your manager a reason to be rude and threaten me. I asked to know how long I should wait for my order, I value your time, why don’t you value mine? I waited outside twice and heard twice that I had to wait again. I just asked to know the time when my order will be ready, and not to invent it without leaving the counter. in response to which your administrator began to threaten me and approach me at a short distance. Therefore, I think this review is fair and I have never seen worse service.

Love their sampler. Imperial Rolls & Viatnamese Meatballs are just dope!!!Lamb Shank & Bangkok street rice were awesome. Fried rice is good as usual.Crispy Roti missed the mark this time but usually good. Not a fan of the big potato pieces and eggplant in the Panaang Curry.Definitely try the Sampler ???
Make reservations! Or just as amazing to go. The wings are sooooo freaking good! The beef drunken noodles are amazing!

I think malai kitchen has some standout dishes that id go to strictly for.The wings and the crusted troutI'm personally not a fan of the pad Thai as I think it has an unusual after taste in the sauce.
The food and service is great but this restaurant shouldn’t serve anything in cast iron they aren’t going to properly care for.Hot tea is served in cute little cast iron teapots that are put in a dishwasher causing rust in the spout. Yuck. I used my napkin to rub off as much as I could then poured the flakes into the napkin.
Get the crab dip and sugar cane juice!
