Jess was our waitress and she was absolutely brilliant! The food is magnificent! Drunken noodles with beef my husband had lamb shank. Both plates are phenomenal full of flavor. Definitely recommended. drunken noodles are made fresh

I absolutely love chicken pad thai, so while visiting the area, I decided to stop by this spot to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, the hostess made me feel so welcome. I wish I had caught her name—she was a young African American woman with such a warm personality and great energy. She seated me at a perfect spot where I could relax and people-watch while enjoying my meal. My waitress soon brought out a sticky rice appetizer paired with a puréed dipping sauce that was surprisingly delicious. For my drink, I ordered something that tasted a lot like a Mai Tai—sweet, smooth, and super refreshing. When my pad thai arrived, I realized I had accidentally ordered the tofu version instead of chicken, but honestly, it turned out to be amazing. The flavors were well-balanced, the noodles perfectly cooked, and even though I had asked for it spicy, it had just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. The whole dining experience was relaxing and enjoyable, from the friendly service to the flavorful food. I’d definitely come back again the next time I’m in the area.

I ordered pickup from Malai Kitchen for my work team, and everyone was blown away! The food was packaged perfectly, still hot and fresh by the time we sat down to eat. Every dish was flavorful, generous in portion, and beautifully made. My team couldn’t stop talking about how good everything tasted. Pickup was smooth and on time, and the staff was friendly and professional. Malai Kitchen made me look like a hero at work—definitely will be ordering again!

We’ve been wanting to try this place. First off, the restaurant is kept very clean and all of the staff are very attentive to your table even if you already have a waiter/waitress assigned, so I love the teamwork. My boyfriend ordered the medium spiced Pad Kee Mow with chicken and it was really yummy and flavorful, but a little too spicy for my liking. The noodles were good and had the perfect chew to it and our waitress said they make it in house, so that was nice. I ordered their Pad Thai which also had great flavor, but it didn’t taste like the traditional pad Thai. You can taste the flavor of it being cooked on the wok and the pickled bean sprouts gave a different twist to the dish. That’s the pink and yellow toppings on the dish. Again, it’s not something I’m used to with my pad Thai, so that seemed like a creative take on it. What I feel it was lacking was the tamarind flavor, which is the signature flavor of Pad Thai, so I was a little disappointed on that. Overall, a pretty nice Thai place to visit.

Absolutely loved this spot! The main entree was SO good but the star of the show? Definitely the mango sticky rice! I will be thinking about that for the next few months. Service was fast and everyone was so friendly. 9/10 will definitely be coming back
