    our feast today :)
    Anthony M.

    You know the food is bomb when you come to a place four times in the last five days HAHA. Their crying tiger special entree is my go-to as well as their fried pork belly. And not to mention the service is top-notch. This is definitely my new go-to Thai restaurant in the Riverside area. Thank you Mae Sai for satisfying me and my cravings every time. :)

    Spicy  Papaya Salad with Chicken Quarter & Sticky Rice
    Tony C.

    Had to try this restaurant out because of all of the good reviews. Did not disappoint. The food was authentic & delicious. My girls, wife, & I enjoyed each bite. Highly suggest the Yellow Curry, Spicy Lao Papaya Salad, Crispy Chicken Leg Quarter, & Pad Won Sen Glass Noodle. Definitely going to be worth coming back to this restaurant whenever we pass thru to San Diego.

    Checked this place out based on their menu items and the good reviews. Located in a huge plaza with plenty of parking. Upon entering there was only 1 waitress who was doing everything from taking orders, bringing out orders, ringing people up, and bussing tables so it was a bit of a small wait to get a table as she was solo. There were a few small parties she was tending to when we got there. Give the cook a raise! Everything we ordered was delicious! The cook named Thoum perfected all flavors and the food came out all together in a timely manner. We ordered the crispy noodle lard nah, beef pad see ew, and nam ngiao. Pad see ew and crispy noodle lard nah were delicious in flavors. The only thing with the lard nah was it contained too much gravy sauce so maybe less on that but overall still fire. It was my 1st time ever having nam ngiao. I don't think I've ever had it homemade or even seen it at any restaurants. I was curious and so glad I gave it a try it was hearty packed with a hefty amount of protein but yet the broth was light and refreshing. It contained pork ribs and pork blood tofu which was my 1st time having that as well. It was like a spongy texture like the pork blood was dehydrated and fermented. It was good! We also got mango sticky rice for dessert which was a perfect ending to our meal. Not too sweet just the way I like it. All the decorations inside were so cute even down to the water cups. Everything is nicely decorated to give you a glimpse of the Thai culture. I love it!

    Yellow Curry
    Mary D.

    WOW. What a great hidden gem! Best Thai spot in the area, I felt like I was whisked away to Northern Thailand forreal. MUST TRY dishes: pad Thai and yellow curry. The tomyum soup was too spicy for me. Great service and love the ambiance and custom decor, especially the hand drawn paintings throughout the restaurant. Would highly recommend!

    Miranda R.

    Solid place. A little expensive but the menu has a lot of great options. It's nice to see some classic Thai dishes that aren't in most American Thai restaurants. The food was really good, we'll definitely be back.

    Must visit if you are craving Thai food. The crispy pork was the best thing on the menu, everything was amazing.

    Food was great and the ambience felt authentic, sort of village inspired. Coffee is giant, and delicious, strength was just right. Will come again!

    Kao Soi Kai
    Linda K.

    The cold weather in Temecula had me craving something warm and soupy, and after browsing nearby restaurants, I decided to try Mae Sai. The Kao Soi on the menu looked very tempting, so I ordered it. When it arrived, the portion was generous, especially the chicken, and it came with pickles on the side. However, the soup was quite sweet for my taste, and the sweetness overpowered the other flavors (ps: I have tried this menu on other Thai resto and have better taste - to my opinion). On a positive note, the service was wonderful--the lady who assisted me was very kind, attentive, and caring. Inside the place also has some cute and colorful decor making it pleasant dining indoor.

    This was a delicious experience!!! I came here on a whim needing to satisfy my craving for Thai and this place did NOT disappoint! Upon entering the restaurant it gives a very humble small family vibe eatery. It's not a huge restaurant so if that's what you're looking for this is not the place for you, but that's how I knew the food was gonna be BOMB. The service was a little slow because it was a one woman show this night, but I did not mind because the ending results was a delicious ending. All the plates we ordered were flavorful and had a true authentic Thai food profile. If you know about Thai food spicy, then you will understand this comment when I say some restaurants have turned down their Thai spice level for the American masses this location when I got medium it was a true Thai spicy medium usually when I go to places and get medium, it will still taste like a mild heat, not here and I thoroughly appreciated that. I will definitely be back at this location because the food was delicious. The decorations were very cute and I enjoyed every bite.

    Thai tea
    Richard M.

    I went here not knowing how good it was or anything, just hungry and had a craving for some Thai food. I wondered in blindly was was pleasantly welcomed by the server. You grab a menu and sit down at any table of your cosen and in totally cool with that. Before I get to the fold I must say the music was in point and they even had a tv playing some cartoons for kids over head which can be a nice touch. The inside was beautifully painted within theme of the restaurant and I love that kind of stuff. Now for the food, excellent. We had my current favorite the Pad Woon Sen and some Basil fried rice. We added seafood to them and was happy that none of the seafood was over cooked and remained tender. Everything tasted fresh. I was also happy they had fresh Thai chilis for those of us who like to order Thai spice like myself. This Amps up the heat without unbalancing the flavor and they executed beautifully. The Thai tea was also creamy and a nice addition to the meal. Also look at the dishes we were served in!!! Come on!!! I love the little things when the food is so on point. Check them out and let me know your thoughts!

    Umbrella decoration
    Joy K.

    Delicious, authentic flavors are found here! I found this small little restaurant fun in their colorful decor that makes you feel like you stopped to grab a bite to eat at a street food vendor in Thailand (of course!). We did our usual yellow chicken curry. Pad Thai with pork and stir fry vegetables. Each dish has their own unique flavors. The chicken and pork were so tender. Delicious! We will be back!

    Tea for two

    This place is a must do if you like Thai food. Very nice and colorful interior with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. There's seating outside, two tables for two. So much to choose from....we had yellow curry with chicken (one of my favs) pad Thai with pork and vegetables. Accompanied by sides of delicious white rice. We had tea! Most Asian restaurants have gotten away from pots and give you glasses or some kind of cup. Mae Sai had pots with real tea in a strainer. We love that. The service is very good. And whatever you ask for or need they'll take care of you. Just a note on spicy...be careful. We went with mild and it was plenty spicy for us.

    Tofu Pad Se Ew (Vegan)

    My husband and I absolutely love this place! It is incredibly accommodating for dietary restrictions. You can order most dishes vegan and gluten free. I love the vegan Pad Se Ew, vegan Pad Thai, and Thai Tea with coconut milk.

    Delicious fried chicken that comes with papaya salad.

Both burritos were fresh, colorful and packed with flavor. Every bite had the perfect crunch from the crisp vegetables, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The sauces were served on the side, letting us customize each bite, and they complemented the flavors without overpowering them.

Orders were placed for refreshments, appetizers, waters, etc. Within 20 mins food began to be delivered with no names/descriptions of the beverage or plate being delivered. Our group was left navigating who ordered what and determine what beer was what and finding the correct owner. Dinner plates delivered no place settings at the table, no condiments (ketchup) and no drinks for more than half of the table. That lefts us going to the bar to retrieve our own cutlery.... Going to the bar to request our waters and our sodas... even after three attempts to ask for our drinks (water, lemonade, soda) the drinks weren't brought out. Many members of our party had their dinner with NO refreshments.

It was the worst service I have EVER had. What a shame.

We stopped for dinner and the did not appear busy. There was plenty of free parking available in the shopping center and indoor/outdoor seating. It was very windy and too cold to eat outside, so we opted to eat inside. There were only four tables to choose from and one bathroom. This became an issue when someone was already using the bathroom, probably blowing it up since it had already been five plus minutes, and both of my kids had to go (we ended up going to Trader Joe's to use the bathroom). The food finally came out. We ordered 2 tri-tip plates, a chicken sandwich, a kids quesadilla w/rice, and 4 drinks. I was concerned about the tri-tip after reading many others complaining about it being overcooked. This was not an issue. The meat came out cooked perfectly, but the pieces were small. The mashed potatoes were good and buttery. The mac & cheese was good and had a nice flavor. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked, hard, and bland. The bread had soaked up the blood from the tri-tip and was soggy gross. The kids quesadilla was literally 2 store bought tortillas and some sprinkled cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted in between. I didn't care for it, but I'm glad my son ate it. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and it was lacking.
