    Thai food is more popular than ever and there are strangely enough several places to choose from in…read morethe small uni-town of Lund. Mae Yai is not good nor bad, it's just SOSO. Location-wise Mae Yai is located in the central parts of the city but without the noise and pollution which makes it a relaxing place. The staffs are very friendly, accommodating and genuinely interested in costumer feedbacks. However implementing changes, well that is another story. Lunches are decent, affordable and most importantly flexible and that means you can pick and choose and combine among several items from the "todays menu", smorgasbord ME any time baby! However please serve it in larger plates so that pants, shirts or table are not sharing it with me! A la carte menu is not as intriguing as one might expect even though it seems huge. A menu must be considered somewhat limited if for instance spring roll can be order as starter as well as main but then served with rice and salad. I love the fact one is free to choose among several proteins but I say this again, and this is true sadly for many Thai places, the protein choice is less desirable if they all in the end taste the same!! The heat and the balance of spices are fine at Mae Yai, it is not Swedishified bland nor is it Bangkok HOT! I can recommend the duck in green curry sauce here, but sadly I must say the chicken which is my preferred choice of protein can be somewhat odd here. Twice I have ordered dishes containing "freezer burned chicken" and even the Thai spices can't help you with that. In fact the main reason why Mae Yai is only getting 2 star rating is because they are somewhat sloppy with ingredients quality control and in Thai kitchens freshness is essential.

    We order from this Thai place whenever we're craving comforting curries. Portions are generous and…read moredelicious. I've also tried the pad Thai and pad see ew noodles and can recommend the pad thai. Not cloying sweet with the right balance of savoury and citrus.

    Truly impressive. I may have just eaten the best Panang Curry I have ever had. The spice, heat…read moreand flavor ratio was perfect. The red and green bell peppers were cooked but still had a little crunch. It's a cozy place with super nice people. It appears to be family run. A suggestion for the owner, if you add Fresh rolls with shrimp, thinly sliced cucumbers and a touch of mint to the menu, it would be very popular here. I will be telling everyone about this place

    We visited on a Friday evening around 6 & had a party of 4. We were seated right away & noticed a…read morefew tables with younger children. They are definitely family friendly. Remember the lighting was very bright and some of the furniture could use a refresh. We started with some Thai beer (Chang-Pale Lager) & wine (also have a good selection of Thai mixed drinks (non-alcoholic) & ordered the spring egg (Varullar) roll appetizer (6). The rolls were crispy with a nice balance of protein and veggie filling. Dipping it in the sweet sauce mixed with their chili powder made for a tasty appetizer. I wanted a spicy noodle dish and our server recommended Kothiaw Haeng (#30) it was tasty and spicy with a good balance of the fried rice noodles and veggies (although I added some of the chili powder to increase the heat) chicken was also good once mixed with the chili sauce. The rest of the party ordered Kothiaw Nam (#21), Pad Sihio (#35) & Pad Med Ma-Him Mu Paan (#45) and were happy with their entrees. Prices were reasonable at about $14-15 USD for most entrees and seafood/duck dishes slightly higher. Dessert looked good but we ended up not ordering-didn't have room. Good space between courses & service was attentive and friendly.
