Maggie Thai Kitchen is new to the area, but I've been to a handful of local Thai places, and none come close to Maggie Thai.
It's in an unassuming strip mall area, and it's unfortunately a bit small, and considering how busy it was and the amount of people rolling in on a Saturday night, I would consider reservations on a Friday or Saturday.
The staff was working hard, eager to greet everyone and make sure all of their customers had what they needed. They were clearly overwhelmed, but they made it work. So great service...
I ordered the Maggie salad and the Chicken Tom Kha Gai soup, which is one of my favorite Thai dishes. Both were incredible! The flavors of the salad were fresh and bright, and it was a nice, large salad. The soup came in a beautiful big pot with a lid, so it was easy to share with my husband, and even so, we still had leftovers to take home. The broth was strong and intentional. I loved that there were some added veggies in there rather than a what I've seen from other places - a few pieces of chicken and two mushrooms, lol. Their spicy level is 0-5, and I did a 2, which I could do, but a 1 might be more my speed. I LOVED THE SOUP. It's my new all-time favorite version!
My husband ordered his usual that he orders at every Thai restaurant - Pad Thai. This is usually a heavier dish, loaded with a thick peanut sauce, but here, it's made with a lighter, tangy sauce with peanuts on the side. It's incredibly flavorful and I would recommend that you give it a try. So fantastic food...
What I love about this place is that people there really care about their food, how it's prepared and presented, and they clearly prioritize their customers, too. The food is vibrant in every way...the way it looks, feels, and tastes.
I almost hate to put out this glowing review, because it will create more buzz, and somebody else might beat me to a table!
