This hidden gem in Houston offers a cozy and delightful Thai food experience. The crab rangoon is a must-try, as is the hot basil fried rice and pad thai. The food was incredibly delicious and the ambience was very nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience. The only downside was the slightly sweet Thai tea, but aside from that, everything else was perfect. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.
I’ve dine in several times and the food is always excellent. This is by for some of the most delicious Thai food I’ve ever had. And the service is always wonderful. I’ve even ordered takeout and the food is still excellent. I try to come here several times a month.
We moved down to the Houston Area last year, and we couldnt find ANY Thai restaurants that serve pad thai like they did back home until we found Malai. This is the exact pad thai we have been looking for!! We have tried so many places in the Tomball/spring areas.

This will be our go to for thai going forward. Their dumplings are cute, and taste so good! Their fried spring rolls are fresh and pretty big. We are so happy we found this place. We cant wait to come back soon!!
