    Special chili garlic noodles
    JC L.

    Visited Dok Mali for the first time. Ordered a few appetizers that were good and light. Our main meal were two of the specials and their curry noodles. The chili garlic noodles were good but a tad salty. Noodles were bouncy and have a nice flavor. The short rib fried rice was very tasty. It had spring onions, scrambled eggs and shredded short rib meat. The soup was ok. I wished it had more broth since the noodles and fresh herbs soaked up the broth. The noodles were not the fresh ones. Tasted like from a bag and it was overcooked as they were breaking and a bit mush. Taste was nice and creamy and spicy. It's a beautiful nice and airy space. Love the bright paints and clean decor. Super nice and helpful staff as well.

    Duck Mali

    I visited this Thai restaurant while I was in Portland, Maine. We stopped by for dinner while strolling around the area. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to walk right in. The space had a nice vibe with a separate bar area that gave it a relaxed feel. So, I started with the Tikka's duck with Panang curry and rice, and wow, it was so good. The duck was fried perfectly and the curry was rich and flavorful. Definitely my favorite dish of the night. I also tried the Pad Kra Pao with chicken, which was okay. Not bad, just not super memorable. The spicy cashew ramen had great flavor in the sauce, but overall it was probably my least favorite of the bunch. I also got the pineapple basil fried rice, which was really tasty and again, customized to my preferences. The only thing was it came with so much raw onions I was honestly surprised (if only I knew, I would've asked to skip it). I also ordered a vegetarian dish with brown rice, fresh vegetables, sauce on the side, and some fresh chilies. That one was really good too and felt super fresh. To wrap it up, I had the fried ice cream with extra whipped cream, and it was perfect. Sweet, crunchy, creamy, just the right way to end the meal.

    Pork Belly Bao

    On a whim we tried Dok Mali on a Thursday night. It was later and they had clearly been busy. It took a bit to get seated and get our drink order but it was worth the wait. We decided to try several items. My favorite was the pork belly Bao with the Blossom dumplings a close second. Everything was delicious. I wish the steamed dumplings were a bit warmer. Service was a bit slow but friendly. We will definitely go back! The bar seating is cool, great people watching!

    Pad Thai with tofu luncheon special

    Delicious bento lunch boxes. Everything was so tasty and full of flavor. We topped off our lunch with the mango sticky rice. Beautiful presentation. The service was friendly and kept our water glasses filled. Plenty of seating inside and out.

    We were here at Dok Mali's soft opening - we loved the food but the restaurant had a long way to go to be one of our favorites. I'm very happy to say that Dok Mali is a fantastic restaurant- the food is amazing...so pretty, tasty, and at a very reasonable price too. We started with one of the specials - scallion pancakes - they were perfectly cooked and served with chili oil. So good! The spicy lemongrass margaritas were tasty but we wished the lemongrass was a bit stronger, and with more spice. Everyone loved their entrees. I don't normally order pad Thai because it can be a bit boring, but the the Mali pad Thai was the best pad Thai I've had...the sauce was rich and spice (level 3 of 5) was just right - hot but not blotting out all other flavors. The Khao Soi (curry noodle soup) was a revelation - tender and tasty chicken on the bone, ramen style noodles, crisp vegetables, and an amazing curry broth that was just-right spicy. When our friends return in a few months, they definitely want to have another lunch here...being a regular, whether local or out of state, means that we'll have some of the tastiest Thai food anywhere!

    Sign looks trendy.

    Even time so good! Need more trips to this place!! Food is so good. Service is very attentive. Place is just the right size!

    Pad Thai

    Came here for lunch on Father's Day and expected a wait but was able to be seated right away. The waitress took our drink order immediately, one of us got a bubble tea that didn't come out until after our appetizers. Things seemed to come out one by one, in the order they were ready, rather than in a typical coursed fashion. No problem, just noteworthy. The blossom dumplings have been a must try since I've seen friends plastering pictures of them on their feeds. Unfortunately, I'd say they look better than they taste. They're pretty, but I think I would have been happier with my normal pan fried dumpling order. The blossoms were just okay, in my opinion, and not worth the extra expense. The chicken satay was awesome. I could drink that accompanying peanut sauce by the gallon. Our main dishes were equally delicious and the portions were plentiful. I opted for no protein in my Pad Thai but it did come with some (sweet) red peppers, onions and other veggies in it. I'm so happy we gave this place a try and would eat here again happily. *Note for those not familiar with the area: be prepared for metered street parking.

    Lemongrass mojito, do not recommend.

    $29 for a medium-sized piece of salmon with THREE pieces of asparagus in a slightly runny coconut sauce. I think not.

    This is one of the top spots for Asian food in Portland. They run a great operation here and I will certainly be back

    Great place for an amazing vegetarian meal. We went for a Miso Soup, Thai Ginger Noodles and a Thai…read moreBasil Fried Rice. Miso soup was delicious and hearty - just what you need on a cold day outside. Both, noodles and fried rice were great. Btw their spice levels are catered to North American taste buds, so if you're an Asian just tell them highest spice levels and you'll probably still feel like moderate. Having said that, great flavours. The staff was nice and friendly. I used the restroom and they were clean and well maintained. Definitely recommended.

    I had hands down one of the best noodles I've had in a long time at this spot! And it was…read moresurprisingly through take-out. It is a tragedy that I was only planning to visit Portland for less than a day, so I didn't have the opportunity to dine in at the Green Elephant. However I would contemplate driving up from Boston just to have their Singapore noodles again. It was so flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture. The level 2 spice in the online ordering menu was not spicy at all, but the food still had a good amount of sauce and flavor. The dish was definitely heavy on the noodles and probably only had 4-5 bite-sized pieces of tofu for protein, but the noodles certainly were my favorite part. And for only about $15-20 per main dish, this is one of the more accessible/affordable restaurants for vegan options in Portland!
