Spring Rolls with Seared Tuna (Gỏi Cuốn)
Stephanie T.

Our first visit in and we were blown away by the service and the food. All day happy hour on Sundays is a definite plus. We ordered the seared ahi spring rolls (SO fresh) and a noodle dish to go. The Vietnamese coffee martinis were scrumptious. Vibe was very chill and quiet enough to have good convo.

Malai Favorites Sampler

I've been here a few times now and I love it more each time! The food is so good, haven't had something I didn't like yet. While the bahn mi isn't exactly traditional, it is still very good -- I'd highly suggest getting it with the pate. The sampler appetizer has a little bit of everything and is great for sharing. Pineapple fried rice was delicious. Pad Thai also great! If you're a spicy eater like me, just go for very spicy. They have 4 spice levels (mild, medium, spicy, very spicy) and this is a reminder to myself to get very spicy next time. Thanks for the delicious meals!

Korean BBQ-Inspired Lamb Anniversary dinner was amazing! The Korean BBQ-inspired lamb was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

We celebrated our marriage anniversary here and had such a beautiful evening. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and perfect for a special occasion. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience made our celebration feel even more memorable.

I love Malai Kitchen. We went in for lunch and sat on the patio with my pup. The service was great and the food was excellent. Overall, a good experience and we will be back.

Beef Pad Thai

The food and atmosphere here is great. I had the beef pad Thai and it was great but lacking the true Thai flavors. The waiters are very polite and friendly.

We were craving Asian food and decided to come to Malai kitchen. I am very appreciative that they have a free parking garage because this area gets very crowded and has limited street parking. Once we got to Malai we were seated pretty quickly and we sat out on their patio. It was a beautiful day and the patio has some nice covering, so, it wasn't super sunny. Once we were seated, our waitress came by and got our drink orders and answered questions on the menu. My husband got the chicken wings for an appetizer and he asked for the mild option. When they came out they had jalapenos on them. The manager Karissa, brought them to our table, and when she realized the mistake, she immediately took them back and made sure that they came back correctly. I ordered the lunch special for Friday. Which was glass, noodles and I got it with tofu. My husband and kid got the fried rice. While we waited for our food, they also bought out complementary, sticky rice with a very tasty dipping sauce. My husband loved the wings when they came out and they were huge.They were so big, he had to take most of them to go. When we got our food, our portion sizes were also very large. I was pleasantly surprised, especially because I got special. So I assumed that my food might be half the size but it looked like it was a full size. It was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I wanted a little more spice and they brought me out chilis so that I could add them to my dish. I wanted to try their in-house drinks, but they are brewery. I'm not a big beer drinker but, the manager still brought me a sample just to make sure I wasn't missing out on something I might like it. It wasn't for me but I appreciate the hospitality. I passed on a drink but we enjoyed the patio seating. The consistent customer service that we got, especially from the manager and the food was superb. We will definitely go back. Hopefully during the week, so we can take advantage of another lunch special.

Very cute interior and good service. Chicken dish was fine, and ahi tuna spring rolls were good. Did not care for the green curry at all, had a very strange flavor. This meal was just okay, but wouldn't come back.

Fresh and taste like your on vacation in Asia country Great service and waiters and waitresses are very friendly and knowledgeable about their food That decor is quite quaint and romantic We will return

Yellow Curry Bowl with chicken and Side of Jasmine Rice
Amenda K.

I wasn't a huge fan of Thai food, but that changed once I came to Malai Kitchen! I ordered the yellow curry bowl with chicken and jasmine rice, and it was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. I don't have a huge spice tolerance, so I got mild spice for the curry, and it had the perfect amount of spice for me. We were thankfully able to make a same day reservation on a Sunday for a party of 8. The servers were so kind and even boxed up our leftovers for us. We were seated in a side room, which had plenty of bright lighting. However, I feel like the main dining area had a cozier ambiance with stylish light fixtures and booth seating. There is plenty of lot parking available around the Clearfork area, along with complimentary garage parking. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my first experience at Malai Kitchen, and will most definitely be coming back to try some of their other curry options!

Came with the Vietnamese Noodle Soup with Beef
Derrick S.

This place was phenomenal. The service was in point. The food was on point and the ambiance was great for a date, business arrangement, or a solo meal. I really enjoyed the food and the servings was right in point for the price. If you like Thai food, this place is a must. I went for lunch with some colleagues. You won't be disappointed.

Sutona S.

Everything was delicious!!!! I wish I could remember everything that we ordered by name but show your server the pics and ask them lol. - Customer service was top tier. I was actually really impressed at how attentive our server and manager was

Shrimp Pad Thai Pad kee mow
Jennifer J.

We've been wanting to try this place. First off, the restaurant is kept very clean and all of the staff are very attentive to your table even if you already have a waiter/waitress assigned, so I love the teamwork. My boyfriend ordered the medium spiced Pad Kee Mow with chicken and it was really yummy and flavorful, but a little too spicy for my liking. The noodles were good and had the perfect chew to it and our waitress said they make it in house, so that was nice. I ordered their Pad Thai which also had great flavor, but it didn't taste like the traditional pad Thai. You can taste the flavor of it being cooked on the wok and the pickled bean sprouts gave a different twist to the dish. That's the pink and yellow toppings on the dish. Again, it's not something I'm used to with my pad Thai, so that seemed like a creative take on it. What I feel it was lacking was the tamarind flavor, which is the signature flavor of Pad Thai, so I was a little disappointed on that. Overall, a pretty nice Thai place to visit.

Do you have low sodium options?

I didn't see anything on the menu that was low sodium. My partner has HBP and she did fairly well though (didn't feel bad after) when we ate the yellow curry!

Is this is a good place for a first date?

Yes absolutely it's a little upscale but not too fancy. It's busy so there's not awkward convo. Nearby there is a movie theater and gelato shop. And the food has plenty of options for everyone!

Would this be a good place to celebrate a birthday? 😊

Yes, we took our friend and celebrated her birthday and we enjoyed it so much. The food was amazing.

Do you have to make a reservation or can you show up and request a table?

Hi Kay! Great question! We certainly seat walk-in's but always recommend a reservation to minimize potential wait times. Give us a call at (682) 707-3959 and we'll be happy to take your reservation! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Do you serve Udon noodles?

Hi Austin, We do no have udon noodles however we DO have some other delicious types of noodles... flat and thin rice noodles, glass noodles and more! Please check our menu out at: http://www.malaikitchen.com/dinner… 

Are there gluten free options?

Hi Stephanie! Great question! Much of our menu can be prepared gluten-free. Let your server know when you get in that you don't eat gluten and they can help you with your decision. I hope that helps! Hope to see you soon!

This place does have a good name for the food served. I got the pineapple chicken. Very spicy but I…read morewouldnt have it any other way. We came to support the business and have talked about this place for years. Very friendly staff. The place is a small little hole in the wall. But the food will never be forgotten. This place is a 10/10

Going with "average" lunch here today…read more While we've been here a number of times, it's been nearly a year since the last visit. Some things stood out as different today: - It was desolate on a Thursday at noon, just 2 couples eating - The food is different - see below The good? Service was fast. There were 4 male workers hanging out, ready to serve us. So that was nice. Also, the app and meal came out fast. Today, two of us shared: - Fresh Spring Roll with Shrimp - Pad Key Mao with Beef There were two shrimp rolls in the order. Both were very fat - stuffed full of lettuce and cabbage mostly. Each roll had 1/2 a shrimp in it. For long rolls, I'm accustomed to two 1/2 shrimps in them. Being so fat, they were harder to eat as they sort of fell apart from the bulk of green in it. As we split our meal, they served each of the two rolls on their own plates, each with a dish of peanut sauce. So that was nice. The Pad Key Mao (Drunken Noodle) was meh. I'd rate it a 2.5 on its own. The presentation was nice but there just wasn't much flavor and the beef wasn't thin strips of sirloin. I think we'll pause Spice for a bit.
