I eat a lot of Thai food in my travels. Mai Tai serves the BEST Drunken Noodles that I've ever had. You won't be disappointed. I asked for 'medium' and it was slightly spicy for my taste, but otherwise, absolutely delicious. You gotta try it! read more

Love their food, but wished they kept their posted hours. I love coming to this restaurant for their mango fried rice and their drunken. This is the 2nd or 3rd time now I have tried to go eat and they have been closed during posted open times. It is very disappointing!!! Especially when you are going for a special occasion like someone's birthday. It might be awhile before we return. Advise they update hours of operation if they have changed. read more

We always pass by this place when we're in the area. We decided to give it a try and we were NOT disappointed. The service was good, the food is awesome and the place is clean...downside was when the very loud friends of the bartender came in and ruined the experience. We hope the next we go there, "the friends" will not be there! read more

Good food. Absolutely the worst service we've had. I know there are staffing issues. But there are some people that should not be in customer service. read more

Love love loveee this place, super good Thai food if you're looking for a not expensive and quick meal! I always suggest this place to my friends if they want Thai food! read more

Mai Thai's been around for awhile and is probably one of the first restaurants that opened in Aksarben Village, so the fact it's still open after several years is a testament that they serve up some pretty good food in a nice atmosphere. Ordered the spring rolls and red curry with beef. The spring rolls are hefty and fresh. At spice level 3, the curry had a hint of spice and was pretty much what you'd expect flavor-wise. Staff were friendly and attentive. The prices are a bit higher than some other Thai spots. Maybe it's the location. Overall, a good spot for dinner or lunch if you're in the area. read more

Mai Thai - Vegetable spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We always stop at Mai Thai when in Omaha. It's one of our favorites! It's located in an upper scale, trendy shopping area. Easy access. If you can't get a parking space in front, there's a large garage behind and it's a short walk. We started off with an appetizer of fried vegetable dumplings. Very good. This was our first time ordering them and we were not disappointed. Since it was lunch, we split the beef drunken noodles. Yum! The drunken noodles are my favorite entree from here. We ordered medium heat and asked for some extra seasoning on the side. I haven't worked up the courage to order hot yet! I'm honestly surprised that the ratings are not higher for this restaurant. We love it and it's always busy when we go there. I encourage you to give it a try. read more

Had a great time at Mai Thai with the fam! The host sat us in the outside area which was a little crowded, but, still adequate space for stuffing your face and socializing. Our waiter was pretty attentive and friendly, however, the wait time for our main entrees was a little long. The best part of our meal were the appetizers (sorry we ate them so fast I didn't take a pic). The spring rolls were obviously fresh and fantastic with the spicy peanut sauce and the fried calamari with the sweet and spicy sauce was the bomb.com! Our main meals were at par with other Asian restaurants, the only down size for the spicy lovers in our party was the spice level. Out of 5 levels (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest), two people ordered a level 3 and another ordered a level 2, I had no spice. Unfortunately, the spice level on all our plates were the same, none. Overall I say checkout Mai Thai. Go outside if you have a very small party, try the appetizers,and if you like spice, go for a level 4 or 5. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

I absolutely love the food that I order here. The edamame is my favorite appetizer and you can request it spicy as well, which I love. I have not met an entree that I didn't love. I do, however, continue to be disappointed by the service. It is almost impossible to do a quick lunch here. I attempted to curb this by asking our check to come out with our food- I had to ask 5 different times after that to receive it, which was frustrating. read more

I've been here just a few times. While the food is good, the service is only ok. They do have a large menu which is sure to please almost anyone when you come with a group. My favorite dish is always the drunken noodles which were great the last time I was here. My boyfriend got the peanut butter chicken and loved it, but it doesn't over come the slow service. They couldn't even remember who ordered what. And getting a refills on water was not easy. I understand we were a large group but I've also experienced this with just two or three people groups too. read more

Friendly service, great food! I got the egg rolls and the chicken pad Thai and both were great. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

The peanut butter chicken here is the best. Tender white meat with a crunchy outer layer. The peanut sauce is perfect consistency then it comes with a side of rice. Also drunken noodles with steak is a great meal. Great array of vegetables, steak, egg, and noodles. The spring rolls are a delicious appetizer if you want a crunch, vegetables, and a spicy dipping sauce that compliments it like ketchup and fries. read more

I went to lunch at Mai Thai for the first time yesterday with a friend and I had an amazing experience. We were immediately seated when we walked in and were greeted by our server. I ordered a Thai Iced Coffee and the beef Pad Thai. The Thai Iced Coffee was honestly amazing. Pretty sweet but with a great balance with the black coffee. The beef Pad Thai was awesome. I ordered the #2 spice with it and there was so much flavor and you get a healthy portion. The lunch prices weren't bad at all. The Pad Thai was $10, which was right on point. All in all, the service was great, food and drink were awesome, and the prices were on point. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Something is different here... at least in terms of acoustics. Also timing. Super fast food delivery - though maybe this had something to do with the fact try were closing soon? And what's up with that cool gold wall mural thing... was that always there? When it was time to order I felt like I needed to shoot from the hip, and thus - Chicken Pad Thai. It was quite tasty, well presented, and matched my expectations in terms of spice level. So tasty, in fact, that while I planned on only eating half, that plan was shot to ribbons after a couple bites. And did I say it was fast? I was pretty happy with this meal and will revisit again. read more

Mai Thai - Chicken Pad Thai. - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Mai Thai is solid Thai and still one of my favorites in Omaha (the location in West Omaha is similar in both quality and service). I would say that my biggest qualm with Mai Thai is the price and the service (service is always lacking for some reason). Expect to pay 25-50% more for your Thai dishes than other Thai restaurants in Omaha. I will say that the portion sizings are all very good for the most part. They gave us plenty of beef in our yellow curry and the whole fried tilapia was reasonably priced. The flavors are all great and I still like Mai Thai as one of my favorites in Omaha. We got the yellow curry, fried tilapia with a sweet/spicy/garlic chili sauce, and the chicken mango. I enjoyed all of my dishes and would come back. read more

Mai Thai - Fried tilapia and mango chicken. - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I'm disappointed with the recent experiences I've have here. Lately, the pad Thai has been bland. Noodles, chicken, everything. On top of the bland taste, I asked for a level 4 spice level and it seems like they didn't even listen to that. Lastly, the crab Rangoon's I got had barely any filling. Again, I don't want to drag on them because years ago they had good Thai. As of late, it hasn't hit close. Sorry guys. read more

We really enjoy the patio seating at Aksarben while sipping on a Mai Thai...all day every day $5 gotta love that! They serve the best Spring Rolls I've ever had. They're light & flavorful with a yummy peanut sauce! For my main course, I typically order Chicken Mango or Asparagus Delight (chicken & shrimp), both served with sticky rice. However this time, I tried something completely new & love it....Bangkok Noodle with chicken. The flavor is amazing with garlic, egg, bean sprouts, scallions, & crushed peanuts! I look forward to going back already! There's a lot more I'd like to try on this menu! Our waiter Steven was very friendly & quick to serve us. We'll definitely be back. read more

We've been going to Mai Thai in Aksarben since 2012. We try other Thai restaurants but always finding ourselves comparing their chicken and mango crab rangoon. The consistency and ingredient quality are really great, and you can get heat if you ask for it. The sauces are super balanced. The yellow curry, crispy chicken, mango crab rangoon, and cashew chicken are our go tos. read more

What the what? I didn't know Mai Thai had a patio! It's the perfect day to be outdoors and for good food! Can't beat $5 Mai Thai drinks! The papaya salad is to die for. Perfect summer salad for an 85 degree day in April! read more

Mai Thai - Payapa salad!!! My favorite here! - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Let me start off by saying the food here is very good. Everything I've had in my multiple instances here has been very enjoyable. However every time I go here the service is incredibly slow. Many times it takes 15 minutes just to put an order in and typically it's not even that busy. This place would get 5 stars if it didn't take so long. Overall - great tasting food, just don't go if you're hungry! Also be advised - the Boba Tea is blended; it's more of a smoothie than actual tea. read more

just perfect . food was great , clean , service was perfect first time visit traveling would return lucky to have this place read more

Ordered take out and was great! Massive pile of food...I couldn't finish it! Would come back!

So...I have been a customer to this place for a few years. Now mind you, not like I was a "know her by name" but definitely a repeat customer. I turned so many people onto this restaurant because of the food and the experience(s). So imagine my surprise when one hiccup derailed my entire experience for ever returning. So I called in a order to pick up. I was very specific and even mentioned that I had two separate orders. They seent (yes I said it) no problem with it. So the first order was seafood fried rice with a level 2, mango crab Rangoon, and egg rolls and they stated they did not have egg rolls available so I switched it to shrimp spring rolls. Order one was done. Then the second order was a shrimp fried rice level 3 and mango crab rangoon (2). Order two done. I then asked for the totals. The answering person said they were really busy and that I had to be on hold for him to calculate the amounts. I kindly held. He returned, he then repeated the first order and again we confirmed and total was given. He then went to state the second order. I confirmed SHRIMP! Then the total was provided. So, I came to the restaurant, paid, etc. This was a hour and a half before close time. The aksarben area was busy that day so I returned to destination and then when I did I seen that my order the second one was incorrect. I called them and told them hey order mess up, cannot return tonight but do not eat chicken and was served chicken. The woman said sorry and put me on the line with the guy who took my order. Now this is where the frustration began. I told him what the orders were. He remembered. He agreed I said shrimp initially. Shrimp fried rice and seafood fried rice but then had the audacity to say when he repeated my order to me he said chicken. So then I brought to his attention there was no chicken in either order and when he repeated it back he said shrimp and I agreed. He then became nasty and said all we can do is have you bring back the order and give you 20% off a new order. I was too far away and could not return in time. Specifically said that too. NOW! Hold up! Pause. Why in the heavens would I pay for another order that they messed up on. Then he tried to pretend he was throwing me a bone or favor by giving a 20% off. They tried to argue that I was not charged for shrimp and to be content with my food. After such a disturbing experience I decided I am not returning. I even offered to pay for just the up charge in shrimp since I was not charged but they had the audacity to mess up my order and then expect me to pay for my full order again and give me 20% as if that would help. I was disappointed because I really did like the food but after that service experience and as much as I have ordered over the years. It was time to let it be. So hopeful that the next customers are treated better because that experience was some bullsugar. read more

I have eaten here twice now and the food is exceptional as is the service. I normally only order fried rice but today decided to try something new. I ordered the pineapple chicken with cashews. I was asked about the spice level and responded with a 0 (I'm a lightweight) and did not think anything about it. The first bite was delicious but I felt a little heat. Then my mouth was on fire!!! Lol. My son tried it and he loves spicy food and he said he felt the best too. Well, the server came over and was so gracious. They brought me an order of the fried rice and did not charge me for the other dish and I was more than willing to pay for it. Son had the Bangkok noodles with a 4 spice and he said they were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We've been going here for over 3 years now and it is still our favorite place for pad thai, peanut butter chicken, and pad see ew. Amazing good quality food. We recently brought a group of 20 people and they had our table ready, provided good service with no problems splitting checks, and brought our food out in good time. read more

Definitely not somewhere I would eat ever again. The restaurant is nice, plates look great, but the food just wasn't authentic at all. Green curry is my go-to and my barometer for whether the Thai food is good or not. I've had my fair share of bad green curry, but I'm lucky that I've lived in cities outside of Omaha and have had real and delicious Thai food too. Flavors at Mai Thai were weak and not enjoyable. This is what I would call "white people spicy" - a 4 of of 5 spicy wasn't remotely hot. When you ask for spicy, you don't get spicy. If this was an authentic Thai place, 4/5 spicy would have burned my mouth off (in a good way). As I always say, what's the point of curry if it's not spicy? Thai is one of my favorites and this place is worse than disappointing. I turn down my coworkers every time they go here for lunch, I just have no interest in paying $20 for blah food. My hunt for good Thai food in Omaha shall continue! read more

Delicious food at this place! Try the Mango Crab Rangoon, the mango inside the Rangoon with the sauce makes this dish so special. Pad Thai, quite disappointing because my beef was overcooked and the noodles are mushy. That's why I said delicious food and not Thai foods. Duck on the Beach- seriously, try this, one of the best dish I ever had. Duck is perfectly cooked with the crispy skin. It goes along with some veggies and seafood (scallops, shrimp, mussels), but the secret is the sauce. The sauce is not too spicy, creamy, with the hint of lemongrass and basil. Staffs are not very attentive, it felt like we were nagging to get their attentions. Portion are big compared the price The grills close 30 minutes before the closing time, which is disappointing, the only option is noodles. read more

First time visiting Mai Thai restaurant in Aksarben Village. Restaurant was nice inside and was greeted right away. I ordered the Tom Yum Chicken soup which had lemon grass, kaffir Lime, galangal and chicken. All was good and a different take on hot and sour soup. I had the spice level of 4 on a hot scale of 1-5 with 5 being the hottest. Next time I will do a five level spicy hot. It had good heat but it did not have the sour. Overall ok, not bad, was acceptable but was not great. The soup was warm not hot. The soup also came with a side of rice you can add if you want to make the soup more hearty. The meal was pricey but so was everything else on the menu. Not sure the price was worth it. What I really was hoping for was a vegetarian salad but they did not have that available. I would go again if others were going but would not be a restaurant I would recommend to others. Not bad, not great just ok. read more

Excellent food and service. We we greeted graciously upon arrival and served quickly. We had Yellow curry with chicken, Pinnapple fried rice with shrimp, Ka Pow chicken and Summer fire beef. All dishes were well prepared and tasted delicious. Ended with key lime cheesecake which was perfect. Only reason for 4 is pinnapple rice came with lots of onion and we had requested no onion and had to ask for spice tray. Would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I have a love - hate relationship with Mai Thai. I love their Spring Rolls and Drunken Noodles. I hate the service. It's honestly sometimes painful. Expect it to take sometime for the staff to come by your table. And expect it to take some time for your order. And a little more time to get your bill. I'm not saying that this is every time you go there, just like 75% of the time. Why do I go back......because the food is extremely good. And people know this. So even though the service sucks sometimes, we will deal with it because the food rocks! Located in the Aksarben area. Mai Thai is also on Skip the Dishes. So if you don't want to deal with the service aspect of it you can have someone deliver it to you. They also do take away orders so you can call and then swing by to pick it up. I would suggest parking in the back in the free parking garage. Getting a spot out front is sometimes hard to get. So put your patience pants on and go get some Drunken Noodles, beef, with little spice. read more

Went here for lunch for the first time today and WOW it was amazing! I had the mango chicken fried rice and it was incredible. Deliciously savory and sweet- the perfect fried rice.

The food was good. That isn't my complaint. I visited the Askarben location on Tuesday February 1st during lunch, and my credit card info was stolen there.   I received a brand new credit card the Friday prior to my visit and Mai Thai was the first place I visited with it and it was the only place where my card left my sight.  I have now had charges to multiple businesses online since then. ($200 to AT&T and $48 to Uber Eats. 2 business I have never used in my life) The waitress took a very long time to get my credit card back and it was suspicious. If you do visit make sure to watch your cards like a hawk. read more

This review is for Mai Thai Aksarben. The dining area is nice, however starting to show a bit of wear and tear. The real reason you are here though is for the food. I've had countless items from the menu and not once was disappointed. The food taste is excellent and the portion sizes are generous. This is my go to Thai restaurant in the Omaha metro. read more

Mai Thai has a great location but this it the second time my wife and I have had issues with the restaurant. Service is average at best, after you are seated you won't see anyone for drinks or questions until they come to take your order. During our last visit both of our dishes were missing one vegetable each (one mushroom, one bean sprouts) which we were not told about. But if you LOVE Akon this is the place for you, Akon was played from the time we sat down until we left. Considering the menu prices I would elsewhere for better options. read more

I have to update and change my review. Mai Thai has had consistently horrible service to where I will not return. We stopped in tonight and ending up walking out. The service at this establishment is so horrendous I really believe they do not care one bit about the patrons. This place is slipping and it is showing. After being seated for 15 minutes and zero service our server walked over never looked up from his notepad and said "what do you want" I said well we would like to start with some drinks. to which he responded. the bar is closed the liquor license got taken away ????? At this and the zero care we just got up and left and went to Ponzu. when we were leaving a couple by the door the lady said ok we should do what they are doing and leave too. SO not just us I have been here many a times and the service has been slow at its best. the food has also been going dowhill, with greasy crab rangoon, cold calimari. I can understand everyone has an off day but now 3-4 times. I wont return read more

The first time I went there... I hated it. Decided to give it another try. The fried rice was so good while it was hot. As I kept eating more and as it cooled... I could taste an artificial flavor that I did not like. Besides, fried rice should be inexpensive but this was $16. The beef salad was pretty good... but I can go to other restaurants for the beef salard for a lower cost. Cashew chicken... super artificial flavor. The presentation of the food is very nice... only if the flavors could score high points like the food presentation. Decor is trendy... but not a warm feeling place to relax. Service was the best... I had to keep calling the waitress over. The lady that brought the drinks did not speak any English... and I had to wait for someone to come by my table to answer my question on the menu. read more

Saw this place after walking around the farmers market Sunday. I was super excited because I have not had Thai food in over a year and a half since moving here. My expectations were high, since a good friend of mine owns a Thai restaurant back home. Ordered two dishes Thai places should NEVER mess up, Pad Thai and chicken satay....needless to say, they messed it up. The food lacked any other flavor besides salt, IT WAS ALL WAY TOO SALTY. There was no balance between heat,salt, sour, and sweet,the four main components to any pad Thai. I ended up throwing it away, what a waste. I always try a place, TWICE before making a set decision,but sadly for them,this is strike one. read more
