Cute little spot for tasty thai food! I'll be back to try more, also great prices. I love spicy just be prepared to sweat a little if you get mild. It burns so good haha. Lots of flavor in all the dishes, and they deliver! read more

I agree with another reviewer, if you want the best Panang I have had in three states, come here. Get it mild if you like it spicy, get it medium if you want to sweat. Also, their Pad Thai ordered spicy is amazing!! read more

I judge my Thai restaurants on the quality of their lard nar dishes, so that is what this review is based on. Too soupy, too salty, and in my opinion, too expensive. I picked up an order of chicken lard nar for lunch, and the order came to almost $10. In my opinion, that's too much to pay for a decent Thai lunch, let alone a subpar one. The service was quick and the portion size was fairly large, but I probably won't be back. read more

The portions are generous, and ingredients seem fresh, but I found the food here lacking and extremely over-spiced. The medium curry I had was roaring hot, so much so, that none of the other flavors could be tasted. There seemed to be no rich combination of flavors either-- just some overly large pieces of veggies thrown together with the overly spiced curry sauce. read more

I love the veggie pot stickers. I would go here for that and that alone. I also love the garlic maddness.

I work in the area and have only been here for lunch. The menu is priced very well and their pad thai is very good (although I do not have much to base it on). My co-worker enjoyed one of their curries. They are always very friendly and I look forward to trying out different items on their menu. read more

You're not going to go wrong here for take out. I like my own kitchen and dining room better than theres so I'll eat at home on this one. The Pad Thai is uninspired, the crab rangoon is soft not crispy, and the chicken satay is a little dry. All that being said, it's not awful...it's just not terrific. It's a great place to get in and out in a hurry but you won't be dying to come back. read more

When ever I am in a slump, I head over for some pad see ew and instantly a smile hits my face. I try to keep eating out for social occasions, but I have been known to head over by myself for a solo meal. Last time I went I met my friend at lunch time. My day was made when I found out I could order the dinner size portion at the early hour of noon. Left overs never make it through the day. read more

As long as you stay away from seafood dishes, this place is still good by me - they use frozen seafood unfortunately.

You MUST let your waiter/waitress (or the person who takes your order if you opt for takeout) if you're a vegan or have any special dietary restrictions. Their pad thai is made with oyster sauce unless you specify otherwise. I'd suggest doing carry-out cause the it always smells kind of funky, at least to me. And it's a bit cramped. Overall the place is super whatever, it's just that they are located not too far from my parents' house and I do like their tofu soup. If it wasn't for those little factors, I wouldn't bother with the place. Oh, and their panang curry is the worst I've ever had. It's super super spicy but has just about no flavor whatsoever. Well, writing this review has effectively convinced me never to eat here again. lol. read more

Pad see ew is excellent. Iced coffee was okay. The food is consistent and service is always good. The prices are about average and the food is abundant. read more

Food is very good. Parking is horrible. I wish that they had service and it wasn't self serve. With their horrible parking situation it would be nice if they provided delivery. read more

Very good Thai! A bit expensive in that you get charged for peanut sauce on the side, but it's a nicely run, and clean little cafe. My Chicken Pad Thai was prepared quickly and the Thai iced tea was strong and sweet. I highly recommend this place! read more

Consistently high quality food. May be a tad pricey for serve yourself dining, though.

the BEST panang curry in existence. reviews of the lard nar and rangoon may be correct, i've never had them. but the panang is to die for. try it! read more

Solid Thai eatery, especially being out in the burbs. I've had a a red and yellow curry, both similar to what I remember in Thailand. Their salad selection Is slightly disappointing, I would do just about anything for a shrimp and pomelo salad. The prices are reasonable an the "hole in the wall" ambiance is cool (if that's your thing). read more

The fresh spring rolls are the best I've ever had. Great service, family owned, BOYB and no uncorking fee.

Good food but this one server is a lil rude and i did not like it., she was taking our orders and i wanted to get the cashew fried rice which has pineapple on it, so my boyfriend started asking to make sure if the dish for sure has pineapple and this lady raised her hand, shushed my boyfriend and continue on asking me what kind of meat i want, so yah, we left n went somewhere else where we wouldn't get shushed read more

We've been here a few times and we've always enjoyed our meals. If you like spicy Thai food, this is the place for you. The portions are generous and the entrees/curries are flavorful. We usually stick with the regular amount of spice, and that is just right for us. Our favorite is the Panang Curry. We did try another Thai place last night, and the whole time I was reminiscing about Mai Thai. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant, you will not be disappointed! read more

This is my closest Thai restaurant so I've been here maybe ten times. The food is fresh and the staff is nice and professional. Warning! Mai Thai's erratic spicing of their food is like playing Russian roulette with your tongue. "Medium" is often inedibly spicy, depending on the dish. I've ordered a salad with "Mild" level spice that set my mouth ablaze. The curries, while tasty, are 70 percent sauce with bits of meat and vegetables floating around. The stir fries are okay, but local Chinese joints will do just as well for half the price. read more

First time visiting, had crispy spring rolls and pad Thai. Was warned that they are very heavy handed with the heat but found mild to be too mild for me. Will definitely get it hotter next time. Spring rolls were great. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Great little authentic, local, spicy, and delicious spot! I had the Panag curry and would definitely get it again!

Very fresh ! We enjoyed our veggie fried rice and peanut sauce chicken. The vegetables were fresh. Service was prompt. Prices reasonable. We will be back. read more

Eat here way too often but the food is so good ! Usually get pad Thai and curry, which I would highly recommend :)

Recent changes to a fast food cafeteria style restaurant is a huge disappointment! After coming her for years, suddenly there is no service, paper plates and plastic ware? Food had no flavor or heat and no ambiance! A long time customer that will not return! read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place. Authentic, delicious, and quick. If you're looking for a full-service restaurant with an elegant interior, this isn't the place, but it's clean, moderately priced, and offers up fantastic food every time. They share a teeny parking lot with the dry cleaner next door (a grand total of 4 spaces), but there's usually plenty of street parking nearby if you aren't one of the lucky few to snag a spot right in front. Highly recommend. read more

Best Thai food in the suburbs. Best Tom Yum soup EVER. All dishes have great flavor, very freshly prepared. Authentically spicy = Flaming hot, which I love but most others would be hurtin'. Quick, friendly service. Bill for two for Saturday lunch: $24 + tip. Lunch includes cup of soup and small salad. Try the Thai iced tea, it's the bomb, if you like milk in your tea. I always get the Lard Na (Lad Nar?) and it never disappoints. Oh and the Panang (red) Curry is fantastic, if your palate can take the heat. Fave place to go when I have a taste for Thai/ Asian food but want to stay in town (read: freezing winter months). If the owners ever find a bigger restaurant space far away, I'll track them down, it's that awesome. Seriously. read more

I'm not exactly a Thai connoisseur, so I don't have very many points of reference for this review. My five-star rating is pretty much a reflection of the way their pad see eiw makes me feel every time I eat it. It is *delicious*. I've ordered the same thing at other restaurants, and I've been disappointed, so I keep coming back here. It's small, and the ambiance is by no means classy, but that just makes it feel more authentic to me. It's family owned and operated, the staff are very friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. I have had a good experience every time I've gone. read more

This spot makes me happy. The staff are kind and thoughtful, the restaurant is small but neat and with nice touches of decor here and there, and the food is good! Sometimes it is a bit greasy, but I don't mind because it's so tasty. The lunch special includes a mixed green salad with vinaigrette (no plain romaine salad here), soup of the day, and entree. I miss when they used to include a pot sticker because those are yummy, but I think they're on the appetizer menu now. I stick to the pad thai when I want something simple, pad see eiw when I'm looking for something more savory, pad khee mao for more vegetables and spice, and red curry for spice and rice. Also, they will make alterations to accommodate you. My best friend and I love getting pad see eiw with crispy fried noodles (normally it's served with soft noodles) and it's sooo good. And they make things at the appropriate heat level (although I'm Asian and may have a different palate, so take that into account). I can order "regular" or "mild" and I can already taste the heat. At other places I hate how something is marked with a red chili pepper icon and it's not even spicy. I appreciate that. It's a go-to place for me. read more

I go here all the time, and the food is great every visit, I have always had a great experience. The yellow curry is my favorite

Service is slow! I've dined here for over 6 years and recently things slowed down. Staff is somewhat friendly! It won't stop me from dining here, I go for the food not the service! Great peanut sauce!!! read more

Our go to for Thai in the area. Their temps do run hot so plan your spice level accordingly. The owner is a nice guy to boot - can't go wrong here. read more

My family enjoys Ma Thai Cafe usually once a week. We think it's fantastic! Great food and service. Drawbacks are not much room inside and if you are calling in an order and they happen to be on the line....you can't get through. No multiple lines, no message service. We still think it's the best Thai option in the Wheaton area. read more

The food here is pretty good, but you would definitely NOT want to bring your in-laws to the dining room for a first impression. Crowded and not much ambience...after that beating though, I have to say that the food is really pretty good. For Wheaton, it is one of the better take out places. A special "off the menu" idea is the Pad-Ped (sp?)...if you order SPICY, make sure you are ready (milk, half-and-half) because it will burn your face off. Also good is the Panang curry and jungle curry. Not bad for the burbs! read more

Tasty and fresh, quality ingredients. Some of my favs...Pad Thai with tofu, Panang yellow curry with chicken...lots of veggies. Also like the fresh springrolls and dumplings. I order the Panang medium spicy...its HOT!! If you aren't used to HOT...order it mild, you can always add more chili. Very friendly staff. read more

I've been going to Mai Thai for a few years now and keep coming back because of their great dishes. I am a vegetarian so my view maybe a little different then other peoples. Whenever I go I mainly get the Panang Curry. It's one of the best ive ever had. Another person had commented that the curries are watery. I've actually only had opposite experiences with thick and flavorful curry. If anything, at times it might be too thick. I love their veggie potsticker that comes with the curry. Also, there's definitely more curry in their portions then anywhere else I've been. Whenever I leave that place I'm feeling stuffed. I really love this place and will continue going back. Family owned and very nice people. read more

The pad thai here is great, as is the curry. Just make sure you don't make the mistake of asking them to make your food "extra hot"--you'll regret it! I just wish that they were open for more hours, especially since it seems like downtown Wheaton rolls up the sidewalks after 8 pm. read more

Quick tip: By default, they make their food very spicy. Their menu has fine print warning about it. The chef gets SUPER pissy if you complain about, even for first-timers. You've been warned! Otherwise, the food and service make this place a little gem. read more

We ordered a dish hot spicy, but were recommended to only get the medium spicy. The dish was not spicy enough for our tastes, however the restaurant does not give exchanges for any reason. The rest of the food we ordered was only mediocre in taste and quality. There were many signs posted in the restaurant that conveyed a sense of not wanting to accommodate the customers. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I like their pad thai, that's what my 5 star rating is based on. Very similar to what I had in Thailand. I have had a few other things there but they were nothing special. I asked for medium spicy on something, oh my god it was so hot. I'll go here to have pad thai, and that's about it. read more
