Malai Kitchen

My first visit to this location was an absolute delight for everyone in my group! From start to finish, the atmosphere was incredibly nice and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a fantastic meal. I especially loved seeing how all the servers worked together as a team, creating a wonderfully efficient and friendly environment. Our server was truly great, providing excellent service that made our experience even better. As for the food, it was outstanding! The drunken noodles were a perfect 10/10, and the chicken pad Thai was equally delicious. I usually skip dessert, but I decided to indulge here, and it was definitely worth it. I came with a party of 10, and it's rare to please everyone, but every single person enjoyed what they ordered. This place is a gem, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

I had high expectations for Malai Kitchen given all the great reviews, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the hype. The overall flavors were underwhelming, and the Panang curry in particular was a big letdown—easily one of the least flavorful I’ve ever had. The presentation and atmosphere were nice, and service was decent, but for the price and reputation, I expected much better food. Not sure I'd return anytime soon.

Beautiful atmosphere, great for dinner or lunch with friends, coworkers or family. My friend ordered Drunken Noodles, which were flavorful and tasty. The Panang Curry was not was I was expecting and was lacking a rich flavor. Both of us ordered delicious non-alcoholic beverages, being the mango coconut smash and the Thai iced tea. Would come again to try another dish.

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Malai Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for—professional, attentive, and on top of their game all evening. The food? Knockout. Every dish was vibrant, fresh, and bursting with bold Southeast Asian flavor. From starters to mains, everything hit the mark. This place has a bar program worth bragging about. Creative, well-balanced cocktails that complement the menu beautifully. We were a party of four, had drinks, and the total came to $174 with tip included. Malai Kitchen delivers a polished, flavorful night out—definitely one of our go-to spots now. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our experience at Malai Kitchen in Southlake! We ordered the Pad Kee Mao and Thai Basil Fried Rice—both dishes were super flavorful and satisfying. The sugarcane juice was a nice touch, refreshing without being too sweet. Loved the vibe of the place and would gladly go back.

We’ve eaten at this location many times, and the food is consistently a great value. My favorite dish is the Pad Kee Mao (DRUNKEN Noodles)—it’s always delicious, and their house-made noodles are just perfect! The mango sticky rice is beautifully presented, too. A special thank you to Teah, Mike, and the team—you’re all amazing!

Malai never disappoints! I’ve been coming to this location for at least eight years, and it hits the spot every single time. The staff, the energy, the ambiance, the chefs—everything about this place is consistently top-notch. The food is incredible, and the overall vibe makes every visit special. Truly a gem!

This was an across the board amazing experience. My partner and I stopped here for dinner after running errands nearby, and we were both raving about the restaurant. The service was quick and polite and attentive, the food was AMAZING. HIGHLY recommend the iron pot green curry as well as the mango sticky rice which has got to be the best one I've ever had. Don't miss this amazing experience

I'm part group of close knit Yelpers friends who love to get together for a dining out experience every few months. Our gatherings are not for an official Yelp Elite event, but just close friends getting together to share a meal and get caught up. This time around we decided to dine at Malai Kitchen, a Vietnamese/Thai fusion restaurant in Southlake. The restaurant is upscale with an incredible professional staff. The Southlake location is beautifully decorated, it's a feast for the senses and very inviting. One thing you'll have to deal with, parking can be a challenge, the center where the restaurant is located is extremely busy. We had to park a short distance away. The Saturday evening we arrived, the restaurant was packed. I am certainly glad our group of six had made reservations. Hint, hint, call and make reservations if you're planning on dining at Malai. We were seated immediately and introduced to our capable server, Kennedy. She greeted us warmly and made some menu suggestions highlighting her favorites. My wife and I looked over the speciality cocktail selections. My wife decided on a Lemongrass Fizz and I decided to order a Bourbon Smash. For the table a special appetizer of lump crab meat on lettuce leaves. We also ordered Thai Sticky Chicken Wings to share. We enjoyed the appetizers along with wonderful conversations. Our drinks were beautiful and very delicious. It was time to think about our entrees. There were so many route we could take with the menu selections. My wife decided on the Beef Vietnamese Noodle Soup, a meal within itself, and I ordered the Grilled Texas Redfish over rice and accompanied with salted crispy friend kale. The "star" on the table, in my opinion, was Malai's house made Sriracha sauce. Oh my goodness, it was some of the best sriracha I've ever tasted. And it even gets better, they sell it by the bottle. Right before a guest leaves, they'll fill a bottle of freshly made sriracha sauce. It's reasonably priced at $10 a bottle. Be sure to keep it refrigerated, due to the freshness it's not shelf stable like ordinary srirachas. Everyone in our group throughly enjoyed their entrees. My wife's soup entree very enjoyable and enough to share with the table, well at least a sample. My grilled Texas Redfish was incredible. The fish was grilled and seasoned to perfection. The rice and kale sides provided wonderful balance to the entree. Kennedy checked in with us frequently ensuring our entrees were perfectly prepared and we had everything we needed. Of course we had to end the evening with desserts. We ordered three different deserts so we could all share. Between the three of us we decided on the Mango Sticky Rice Smash, Banana Pot de Crème with white chocolate and the coconut cream pie. OMG, as we sampled the desserts we all had smiles on our faces due to the phenomenal treats. For me, the stellar dessert was the coconut cream pie. What an incredible 2 hour dining experience we had at Malai! Kennedy and staff, thank you for the wonderful time. We'll be back again soon.

The food was terrible. Not authentic. Not depth in flavor. Not tasty at all. Even in places where it's not authentic, it might at least taste okay. We ordered a coconut soup, green curry, drunken noodles, pad thai, papaya salad. The green curry was green... but no flavor, so many veggies and not enough chicken. It came with a small serving of rice. We were doing family style and they charged us for 2 servings of rice. I would review each individually but honestly we were so disappointed within minutes we all agreed, we will never return. The service was so so.. they were so eager to remove our plates. We had 4 adults and 2 littles and they charged us 20% gratuity. Did I say we will never return again?! Yep. One of the more expensive meals we've had that were so flavorless.. would have enjoyed McDonald's more.

Dropped in while visiting Dallas for work, and I'm really glad I did. The pad kee mao was outstanding! Bold, smoky, just the right amount of heat. Easily one of the best I've had in recent memory. Waitress said they make the noodles fresh every morning. No wonder! I also went for the appetizer sampler, which sounded better on paper than it landed. Not bad, just a little forgettable next to the main. That said, the crab dip and papaya salad, both flavorful enough that I'd order them again as a meal on their own. The space is polished but not pretentious, and service was attentive without hovering. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop.

I really liked the environment. It was cozy and felt homey. The food was very good! Loved the shrimp spring rolls we got! Our server was very helpful with the menu and was friendly.

The vibe was amazing and food was delicious! I loved how cozy and intimate the dining was in the booths with a lit candle! The server was extremely nice and we were seated right away! I got the fried rice and love how you can choose your spice level! I got a level 2 and it was the perfect amount

Had a great experience here. My daughter has celiac so we have to adhere to a strict gluten free diet so I was so happy to see how knowledgeable the staff is with allergies! They were so great at pointing out what items my daughter could safely eat and she got a big variety! We got chicken satays, Vietnamese meatballs, spring rolls (not for my celiac daughter), panang curry, pad thai and mango sticky rice! Everything was delicious I would say the only thing we didn't care for was that the mango sticky rice was a bunch of chopped up mango (and the mango wasn't very sweet it was sour) and it was like mango and rice soup served in a coconut. I was hoping for a mound of sticky rice with mango slices on top which is the way I have traditionally seen this dessert.

This was my second time here and it only got better. This time I ordered the Arctic Char with veggies and brown rice. The cook was perfect! Succulent with crispy skin. The brown rice was full of flavor and moist. I was so hungry that I didn't get a picture. But my wife convinced me to get dessert which we had the mango sticky rice and the coconut cream pie. I'm not a dessert person more on the savory side! I would just come for dessert. That coconut cream pie was the best dessert I've had hands down. I will say you may want to share as it is pretty rich! I did also love the mango sticky rice which came out warm. Very surprising! This is a must try people!!!

Spring rolls to go.... I popped in for a quick lunch to go. The spring rolls are different than I've had before. Colorful and interesting mix of veggies with shrimp. Would be great to bring to a party. Lady taking my order was nice. Inside was nicely decorated, will have to return for another item or 2 to try soon.

Well this restaurant had great ambience it just didn't have the Thai flavor. No spice, no chili or anything to adjust the flavor. Just a small sauce bottle. Too expensive for what we got. I

This is the first time i've been to this Malai location, i really loved the vibes at golden hour the entire restaurant is beautifully designed and decorated. 3/4 of us got the peanut crusted ruby trout..it was amazing!!! always a favorite

Outstanding Southeastern Asian cuisine. Highly recommended! The service and food quality is always outstanding. We frequent this restaurant and have always had a memorable experience. Want a nice date night restaurant? Malai is an exceptional choice. The ambiance is classy with artwork from Thailand and Vietnam. It can get a bit noisy when it's peak hours. Parking is at a premium. I recommend you put this restaurant on your short list. It's excellent.

The ahi tuna tartare is so so good (and gluten free) -- really refreshing with tons of umami. It's sushi grade ahi tuna all diced up and tossed with tons of delicious stuff like lime, chilis, shallots, lemongrass, cilantro, mint, thai basil, green onion, and cucumber.. served with bright green lettuce, sliced avocado, and some kind of delicious dipping sauce. If you like tuna you must order this! The curry here is also really top notch and flavorful. I love the iron pot green curry that's served with chicken, eggplant, bell peppers, and carrots. Yum. The fried rice is fantastic and can be made gluten free as well. And all the portions are big, I think most dishes easily serve 2 people or makes for the best-ever leftovers!

Can't believe I have been going here for so long without leaving a review! The Good: * Where do I begin - the service is amazing. Kelly and her team are free to serve their customers well and it shows. Everyone is always happy to serve. We often bring friends, family, and important clients for a meal because we know that they will co-host my guests as if I was in my own home. Amazing team! * The food is amazing. They make so many things from scratch. Their curries, chili pastes, even their beers are all made in-house! MUST TRY: Panang Curry with Steak, Pad Thai with Shredded Pork, Imperial Rolls, Sea Bass. Their Peach Wheat is a fanatic in-house beer that I get almost every time. * Restaurant is always clean. * Parking is relatively easy. It is what it is: * If you ever sit outside, be aware that plants in the plaza attract bees. The Bad: * I've never had a bad experience here. The only thing that would come close to a negative thing is that I rolled the dice and tried a special that I didn't like, but that's preference. The Verdict: * This is one of the few non-national chains in Southlake that has their act together. Their ambiance, food, and service is consistent every time. Price is reasonable for what you get. If you love Thai food, you need to check this place out!

I was meeting with a friend and she suggested we do dinner at Malai Kitchen. I had never been there before but was excited to try. It seemed like an Asian Indian fusion restaurant with various dishes and many of them were vegetarian friendly so that was nice!! I got the vegetable pot green curry with extra veggies and no tofu. I chose medium spice and thought it was the perfect amount. I also got the sugar cane drink and thought it was super unique. For desert we got the chocolate roti. It was on a stick and had the choice to be dipped in ice cream or jam. Definitely never tried anything like it before. It had a very chocolatey comforting taste, not what you would think roti would be like, but I liked it! I would definitely go here again and would recommend it to others as well. The food was good and the service was nice!

This is a regular in our rotation. We originally were hooked on a Dallas location, so we weee thrilled they opened in Southlake. It s clean, pretty and has friendly people. The food and cocktails have been a bit unpredictable in consistency. Malai was my favorite place for drunken noodles when they opened but I quit ordering those a year ago after a few disappointing experiences. The glass noodles and the tuna spring rolls have been mostly consistent and keep me coming back.

I could've sworn that I have written a review for this restaurant before, but I guess I haven't - so I will go ahead and put in my experiences from the 7-10 times that I've been there. What really keeps me coming back is the appetizer sampler and the peach ginger detox free iced tea - it's so good and you get free refills so you can't beat that. I haven't even bought a canister of it from the restaurant because it is a local company that makes the tea and they sell it there, so I really like it haha. The appetizer sampler includes a good amount for the price, especially considering that you're getting that variety - and I'm a person who always wants to have variety in trying a new place. I will say that I have never really been blown away by any entrées. They're decent, but nothing compelling me to order it again *with the exception of* they used to do this flat noodle dish as a lunch special I think, and now they don't do it anymore. That would be the only thing I would (and did) order twice. For entrees, I've tried the lemongrass chicken and green curry with chicken - both were fine but nothing that stood out to me as a must order. For me, that's the appetizer sampler. I love the "meatballs." The happy hour prices for the appetizer stuff isn't bad since you can get one item from the list for $7 or two for &12 I believe. Also, one time someone ordered the sticky rice, dessert, and then left even though they had paid for it, so the waiter brought it to our table and that was very good! I honestly wouldn't have considered ordering it beca I don't like mangoes, but it surprised me! I like the free sticky rice appetizer with eggplant dipping sauce - I usually ask for a second (still free, which is a plus). However, where they really get a ding in my review is their wines & cocktails - happy hour prices for alcohol are disappointing, the amount of wine I got for $8 was laughable. AND that wine? $8 a bottle. A huge waste of my money. I know alcohol prices get raised at restaurants, I get that, but I am simply not *happy* with going to somewhere that proclaims to have a happy hour that seems like a rip off. And $9 for a mule still felt like more than I want to spend. This is why I rarely drink at restaurants unless they have a very good HH - this may be Southlake, but not everyone has Southlake money. I do have to consider if something is worth the money or not. The appetizer sampler *is* because it would simply be too much work and too many ingredients to prepare the exact same thing at home, certainly not for less. I would actually recommend trying their beers at HH or a beer flight because that's a special microbrew they have which you can't find anywhere else. I guess restaurants have to make a profit off alcohol... but at the same time, I can practically go across the street to Postino on M or T nights and gets a giant thing of bruschetta and bottle of wine for $25. I know it's a different cuisine, but it's hard to not compare. I know several places I can get a bigger glass of wine for less, or cocktail for less. I'll keep coming back for the appetizer sampler, try some other entrees. But they're not as impressive to me as they once were.

See Karrina, she is the best server i have had in a while! The attention to detail on the table is very impressive, especially during lunch. Food was good, beer was better, but her service was best. Will come back just for her.

Everything about my experience here was wonderful from the waitress to the food. I stopped by here around 1PM on a Friday without a reservation and was seated right away. The ambiance was inviting and the colors of the decor are warm and welcoming. The waitress was really kind and answered any questions we had as it was our first time. I ordered the spicy basil chicken with the detox ginger peach green tea. The portion sizes are big and the prices are comparable to what you'll see in Southlake. We'll definitely be returning sometime soon! The only downside is the parking in the area can be hard to find depending on the time of day.

This place is always a miss, never a hit for me! Is it just me or does every dish have a burnt taste to it? I continue to come back because the staff is so nice and attentive. I can't help to entertain my friends when they are looking for a Thai place they enjoy, but this one just sits at a 3 star until further notice.

I have had this place multiple times and the food and atmosphere and service is great. Never had a problem with my food restrictions. The waitress was very nice and ensured me it was indeed gluten free and made separately from other dishes and I made my food restrictions well known. Although I was not worried as I ate here before no issues. Well it got cross contaminated somehow in the kitchen and I ended up in the ER. If you have issues with gluten, please consider other options. They should not be labeling their food on the menu as gluten free if it indeed is not gluten free. Will not be returning.

The drunken noodles and mange sticky rice are so good! Our server was very nice and attentive. The restaurant is very clean.

Food here is really dang good. And service has been great think we've had 4 different people helping us but drinks stay full. And it's a very nice place. Sitting on patio in shade enjoying some Thai soup for lunch. Not much better.

I had high expectations for Malai based on the reviews, but our meal left much to be desired! Ambiance - the interior is beautiful and spacious! Very modern with lots of wood/earthy accents. Service - our server was friendly, but we did feel a bit rushed. They also rarely checked in with us and did not bring us clean plates in between courses as promised. At the beginning of the meal, they dropped off some sticky rice with a green sauce and never explained what it was. Food - Drink: Sugar Cane Juice - perfectly sweet and very refreshing! Apps: Vegetable Spring Rolls, Vegetable Samosas, Shishito Peppers - the spring rolls were fresh and the samosas had a nice savory taste. The shishito peppers were under fried, as the coating often slipped off the pepper. Mains: Basil Vegetable Fried Rice, Panang Curry, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles - every item lacked any sort of flavor or spice (we asked for medium spicy). The noodle dishes tasted like regular boiled noodles with barely any sauce and the Panang had a sour/odd taste that was unenjoyable. Nobody at our table of 6 liked a single main that we ordered. TL;DR - the interior is beautiful, but it does not match the quality of food. The majority of items we ordered were incredibly bland and flavorless. I'd give this spot a skip!

My daughter was in the mood for some pho, so decided to try Malai Kitchen. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Very stylish dining room and semi-open kitchen. The staff is friendly and attentive, they even tolerated one of terrible dad jokes. The food was delicious, We started with some samosas and Thai tea. My wife had the Monday lunch special chicken and fried rice, she was pleased with her selection. My daughter order the beef pho, she was also please with her selection. I had the Bangkok street rice which was delicious, I ordered medium heat and it did not disappoint. I finished off with a Thai PA. Had I known they were brewing their own beer I would have tried this place sooner! Will definitely be back.

I had the pad see ew and it wasn't my favorite. There was too much sauce so it was on the saltier side. The soup, rice bowl and mussels were good though. We ordered a beer and never got it. Our waitress was great but didn't find her after she took our order. The restaurant also smelt like old towel whenever we walked in.

This is one of my favorite places to go for a fresh and made-to-order meal. Everything they send out taste like they just caught the fish from the sea or plucked the veggies from a garden. We always leave feeling refreshed and full. The service is incredibly accommodating and the manager is very present to make sure you are well taken care of. Very comfortable seating available and an open kitchen so you can view every part of the experience. Love this restaurant!!

The service was very attentive, gracious and helpful despite the fact it was the Friday in the middle of the lunch rush, packed and pretty loud. My dish was very good and flavorful, but both of my friends were disappointed with their yellow curry dish. We ordered the 3 shrimp spring roll appetizer, the peanut sauce was so good we asked for more! The best part of the meal by far was the coconut cream pie! Whatever you do, don't leave Malai without it! It's the best coconut cream pie any of us had ever had! Enjoy!

We had been coming to this restaurant every so often for the last few years, however have noticed a decline in both service and food. Our a server was nice, however our dishes took almost an hour to come out and rather than provide actual information or updates or even address it, we kept being told "it's coming" and "it just takes some time". The restaurant cleared out in the amount of time it took, and we also had two young children with us who had finished their kids fried rice long before our food even came out and were getting antsy. It would not have been an issue if they had been forthcoming or offered more of a solution. Once we got our food it was not even good, which is saying something since we were starving. Sadly I don't think we'll be returning.

This place is so fabulous! Our service at that time was a smidge slower because there were so many people but normally they are not. This was just a busy day! I loved the rich flavors in every dish! They didn't skimp out of spice full meals! It's cozy and romantic inside!

Nom nom nom! The complimentary sticky rice is yum, the pineapple fried rice is fantastic, the tuna tartare was awesome, the drunken noodles were yum and the mango sticky rice served in a pineapple for dessert was spot on. The service was wonderful and a good time was had by all.

Stopped by Malai Kitchen over the weekend as I was in the craving for some Thai food. When you arrive there is plenty of parking in the front of the restaurant. The restaurant has a super modern and clean feel when you walk in. I ordered the drunken noodles that had house-made wide rice noodles in a spicy soy, with beef tenderloin and thai basil tossed with tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, thai chilies served over chopped lettuce. Wow this dish was so good and the beef tenderloin was so tender. I would order this dish again and come back here in the future. I can't wait for our next trip back to Malai Kitchen.

It's one week later, and we're in Southlake for Glenda's dr appointment. Surprise! Theres a Malai Kitchen 2 blocks from the doctor! I'm so lucky. This restaurant has the same beautiful interior as the one last week, but our table is next to the brewery, sweet! No, I still don't drink, but a Thai restaurant with a brewery is pretty cool! Glenda got the Beef Vietnamese Noodle Soup. Yes, a really long name for Pho, which was absolutely delicious. My beef tenderloin Pad Kee Mow was just outstanding. I don't if the recipes are slightly different from other Thai restaurants, but this place is a step above the others I have been to. Again, our compliments to the kitchen. Thai is my favorite food, and Malai is easily the top of my list. Till next time!

One of my favorite places when traveling to Dallas for a great food and excellent service. I have always ordered the Curry, yellow, red or green and I can say there is always very good. Service is consistently excellent making the dinner experience enjoyable after a long day at work.

Loved getting to finally try Malai Kitchen for the first time! The service was amazing from start to finish, and the waiter was so helpful and patient with us as we tried to decide what we wanted to eat. I decided on the panang curry with chicken (the menu has it listed as a beef tenderloin panang curry, but you can sub out your choice of meat). It was definitely much different from most panang curries I've had - much less sweet and much more peanut-y. I still really enjoyed it though. The chicken was sooo good and moist, and usually chicken is notoriously dry in these types of dishes, so that was a pleasant surprise. The curry itself wasn't too spicy, just right. Will definitely be back!

FABULOUS food! My husband had a doc appt in the area so we went early and decided on a late lunch, soooo glad we did! (I'm normally a homebody and enjoy our own meals but we decided time for an outing, best decision of the month since this was a jewel of a find!) Andy was our server and she was wonderful . I chose shrimp pad Thai with low spice and it was ammmmazing. (I'm a weenie when it comes to spice and it was just perfect, perfectly seasoned and tasty and flavorful). Yup, shockingly I ate it all. My husband had yellow curry w chicken and rice and ate every bite, medium spice. Ashley stopped by to chat and inquired about the meal And truthfully we could only say glowing things it was soooo good - absolutely positively recommend! Even thanked the chefs who looked surprised at our effusive praise, which is sad since they are SUPERB!! We will soooooooo come back perhaps for my husband to try the Drunk noodles - the table next to us enjoyed them greatly so he is already planning the next visit!

Excellent fusion restaurant. Many vegetarian options to choose from. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and how to customize menu options. The sugar cane juice is delicious and not too sweet My daughter enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and my Yellow Curry Tofu Bowl was good.

Malai is incredible. Everything is so fresh. They make most everything from scratch which is so apparent from the bright colors and flavors. We have our crowd pleasing favorites: drunken noodles... green curry...shishito pepper & wing appetizer....the scratch made peach tea and the Singapore Sling. Kids menu is thoughtful and accommodates kids' changing palates without throwing frozen chicken fingers and fries at them (thank you!). It's SO good! We like to try new things every time. Sorry to see someone leave an unfair three star review due of the price of a glass of wine. Their food and homemade teas and drinks are all so high level; this place is 5 stars across the board. Had a hard time finding interesting food when moved here from LA a few years back and Malai did not disappoint!

This was one of my favorite places in the area, and I'm not sure what's happened here lately. I've had two issues now in less than the span of a month. First, I got something I've ordered multiple times with no issues (Jungle Curry Hot Pot with Shrimp, mild), and it was so spicy it made me cough and cry. It took them a while to issue a refund and then they didn't even refund the portion of the tip for that item. Then, yesterday, I ordered another one of my regulars, the Vietnamese soup. I went to heat it up today and saw that three of the jalapenos - which touched everything I'd already put in the pot to heat up - were very moldy. I'm supposed to be watching what I eat due to medical issues, but I thought Malai was fresh and safe. This ruined my dinner and left me with no food, and of course - for the second time - Malai wasn't able to offer to deliver a fresh dish; they only gave us the option to pick up a replacement. For my health, I'll be avoiding Malai for a while. It's a shame, because prior to these issues, Malai was great. I was going to let the first mistake slide because I love this place, but two in a period of less than a month is enough to call for an update.

Malai is my family's go-to spot for a nice dinner out! Today I got the Jungle Curry Hotpot, which is tangy and super comforting on a cold night like tonight was. The noodles are chewy and fresh, I was sad when I ate it all and there was only broth left. I never come here without ordering the Lemongrass Mussels as an appetizer, the spicy coconut milk broth is to die for. I usually get the Mango Sticky Rice as dessert, but today we tried something new and ordered the coconut cream pie. Our servers were very attentive and everything we ordered came out fairly quickly. Malai is very reliable and I always look forward to eating here with my parents!

This was our second time at this restaurant because we had to make a trip back because it was so good. Our first waitress was really nice but then they had a trainee come to help us and that was a little weird and awkward and confusing. But then he disappeared, and we got our good waitress back, so we ended on good note. The restaurant is really chic and Martin. They also have a really really cool brewery in the back where they brew beers in house. The beer was really good. The food was spectacular. I had the curry and it was delicious with some fried rice and we were there on a Monday during lunchtime, so we were also able to get them Monday lunch special the Saigon fried chicken. everything was extremely tasty.

So we come here all the time and every time we get the mango, sticky rice. It's usually always so good. This time we got two mango, sticky rice to go and when I say it was horrid looking at and even worse tasting. It looked like a big bowl of pig slop. All white cream with barely any rice and a few pieces of mango. Is this a joke? $20 gone and we threw it away. SHAME ON YOU in this economy, DO BETTER! We will not be back to this location.

All I can say is, Wow!!! This place is stellar!! A girlfriend suggested we meet here for brunch and I was immediately floored by the menu. Soooo many choices, including tons of vegan and gluten free options. I went with the lemongrass chicken served with Jasmine rice. The portions are huge! I took half my meal home and was stoked to enjoy the deliciousness all over again the next day. My friend ordered the Iron Pot Green Curry Chicken, which is a scratch made green curry stew. She said she only ordered it mildly spicy, so I bravely had a little taste. It was very flavorful but the heat sneaks up on you after a few seconds. If you like spicy, definitely go with any of the curries. (I'm just a wuss.) I was also impressed with the staff. Our servers were very polite and attentive, and since we were sitting in the enclosed patio area, the manager also made sure all the heaters were on and the temperature stayed comfortable. I didn't get a good look at the rest of the restaurant (which was packed for Sunday brunch), but I liked what I saw and really didn't care, because the food is amazing. If you're craving Asian fare, put Malai high on your list.

This was a nice elegant casual spot for lunch. Their menu is a unique combination of what I would call Asian fusion. I had panang curry with steak and it was excellent. My daughter mentioned that the Pad See Ew with tofu was delicious as well although it contained ingredients than what she was accustomed to. We both enjoyed the way they take traditional dishes and add a twist of different flavors. I look forward to returning for date night with my husband.

First of all - always order the Thai tacos. They are the reason this place exists. The basil chicken, drunken noodles , and pad Thai were all equally delicious. The service is aways spectacular. End with the mango and sticky rice and you will be happy!

The food was amazing and the prices even better. The portions look small on the eye but it's very filling!!

Food and Service were top notch and excellent. Food is made from scratch and was soooo good. The only issue that we had was that our kids that used the kid's menu were charged $20 for their pineapple juice and lemonades.... BUT!!! The manager fixed this, so all was good. :) I cannot recommend this place enough.

The worst and most expensive Vietnamese food I've ever had, their Pho was no better than a 99-cent ramen package.

I went to Malai for lunch on a day where I had plenty of time to relax. The service was incredibly attentive and they walked me through the menu as a first time guest. I love the fact that they advertise themself as extremely customizable. The pad kee mao was flavorful and fresh. There was way too much garlic and I "felt it" for two days. However, since it's a customizable kitchen I'll note that next time I visit. The drink was delicious. I hope they bottle and sell it in stores one day because I want more!

Came in mid week and had dinner. We ordered the Imperial rolls, yellow curry and drunken noodles, everything was excellent. Service was good. Our server was very busy but another server came to take our order and make sure everything was going smoothly, which I appreciate.
