Very nice restaurant with great ambiance. Service was excellent and food was tasty. I ordered the pad kee mow which was very good, however, I was a bit disappointed that the dish lack any hint of spiciness despite requesting that it be "mild". I expected to taste a little bit of heat but it was as if they omitted it completely. It was still good, just expected a bit more. read more

I always enjoy my time at Malai Kitchen. I came here with my mom for her birthday. The ambiance was beautiful as the restaurant is very well kept and tidy. The food was amazing (I highly suggest the wings-- thank me later). Lastly, our waiter Yuli D, was incredibly nice and attentive to our needs. Overall, great experience and we will be back!! read more

I went to Malai Kitchen after hearing a lot of good things, and honestly, it lived up to the hype. The aethestic inside is modern but cozy, and the staff was super friendly without being over the top. We ordered the shrimp pad thai and the green curry, both were really excellent. The curry especially stood out -- it was creamy, a little spicy, and had a ton of flavor without feeling too heavy. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and everything was cooked just right. read more

F, S, & A are great! Ordered Basil Fried Rice with Shrimp. Excellent!!! Flavor is spot on! Friendly staff. Didn't wait long. Relaxed environment. Thank-you! I'll be back. read more

Malai Kitchen is a thai and vietnamese fusion restaurant. MY 2 FAVORITE ASIAN CUISINE!! I was a bit skeptical that it would be a up-scale asian restaurant with no true asian flavors, but to my suprise, I was wrong. We ordered their shrimp and avocado salad and appetizer sampler. I could taste the smoke from the grilled shrimp but we did ask for the coconut dressing in the side, which i'm glad i did, might even try the ginger dressing in place of it. Appetizer is great for first timers, the tuna was the best part! 10/10 recommend read more

The entire meal was heavenly. We had the soft shell crab curry entree. Everything about the dish was perfect. The coconut pie !!!!!

I hate giving bad reviews but this resto needs improvement. First of, ambiance is great, comfortable seats, nice tables, very clean, modern decor, outdoor seating area is beautiful so 5/5. Food? I would say 3/5. I ordered Pad Thai and Shrimp Fried rice. The Pad thai looks pleasing but the taste is terrible! Layers and layers of bean sprouts. Pad thai is supposedly sweet, salty and savory but this one taste like burnt, salty. Ugh! The Fried rice was ok, nothing to brag about. read more

I walked in and was greeted promptly. The hostess took my order right away, and the food got to me promptly. They even included a complimentary side of their very popular sticky rice. The portion size is just right for the price to make it a good value. I ordered the Pad Thai medium and it was the exactly and perfectly medium spice. The dish was made with fresh ingredients and was hot when I received it. It had a good flavor. If it had a little more savory (maybe peanut sauce) it would be even better. The cilantro was a nice addition to the pad Thai I think I haven't seen before. The dining room was full today, but they still managed to give me stellar service, and the manager even stopped by the say hello while I was waiting for my food. I would recommend Malai Kitchen for Pad Thai. read more

Malai Kitchen - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A solid lunch option that takes reservations. The food seems authentic and is well prepared. I opted for the chicken skewers and Burmese green tea salad. The salad had a wonderful mix of textures rounded out by the fermented green tea vinaigrette. Super fresh and flavorful. The chicken satay was juicy, but that was about it. The dipping sauces really delivered the punch that the chicken was lacking. A coworker ordered a sugar cane drink that was paired with fresh lime juice. Looked super refreshing and a perfect pairing for spicy food on a hot day in Dallas. read more

Great food and prompt service. Our go-to is the MiKrob, which is their sweet and sour noodle dish. It's light and fresh, packed with tons of flavor. They serve complementary sticky rice with their entrees which is a nice surprise. read more

We came here on a whim just to have their mango sticky rice pudding and boy we were not disappointed. It was luscious, creamy and fresh! The amalgamation of flavors and texture is sublime. Our waiter, Omar, was fabulous! We were also encouraged to have their Vietnamese coffee cake and it was just exquisite. We have always loved this restaurant and every time we come here, we are left with more reasons to come back again. I wish they would open more branches in Frisco or McKinney. read more

The staff are super nice and helpful. Good atmosphere. Unfortunately the taste of certain items are just off. 1. candied bacon adds nothing to papaya salad. 2. There is something off with the pho broth. 3. Green tea salad typically involves pickled tea leaves - I just don't taste the "green tea" component. 4. Vietnamese coffee is not Arabica bean but a robusta drip coffee. This restaurant is the polar opposite of those Garland SE Asia spots where there is no decor and service but the pho broth is banging. This is a great decor and service place where things taste off. Again, the staff is super nice. I just wish the food tasted better. read more

The inside of the restaurant feels very majestic just comforting. There's a lot of room yet it feels very intimate in your own seating. I have never had scallop pad thai before nor seen it as an offering anywhere and this combination was amazing. If you like pad thai and scallops you MUST order this. I also really enjoyed their drunken noodles. My sister ordered the thai tea and they gave her a huge glass and she said it was good. The servers are extremely friendly and treat you like family. They are very accommodating to any requests. There's tons of free parking around when we went for a sunday dinner read more

This place went downhill fast. I left a five star review a year ago. But they have delivered the wrong order twice in the last month. I ignored it the first time, but this time, I called to address it. The person that answered would not identify herself. I found out the manager was Delvin (or something similar). She told me that it was probably not their fault, and they did their job. But she refused to give her name. They refused to deliver me the correct order or refund my money. Unbelievable. I told her that they could see my receipt and that they. Pile come get the (wrong) food that they delivered. She said they were too busy for all of that. I'll be interested to see if they respond to this message, as they were clearly jot interested in helping me over the phone last night. read more

Guys! You've been a staple of ours ever since you opened. We've loved the meatballs, pad Thai, street rice, samosas and more. We mostly order take out but sometimes also eat in and are always grateful you are in the neighborhood. But tonight...something is very wrong. Our chicken satay was vaporized beyond recognition. Hello saw dust and peanut sauce. The pad Thai has multi-colored sprouts in it, is missing the sauce, the chicken is dry, and has an off taste that does not taste like pad Thai, and the street rice has massive strips of onion instead of the normal thinly sliced onion. Did I mention that the pad Thai is funky? read more

Really solid dine here. Annika (sp?) was very friendly, helpful, and informative. The main draw was the beautiful patio, which we were intent on enjoying since it was such a beautiful night. That said, I didn't love the food. The shishito peppers had a nice tempura battering on them, but it was hard to use the dipping sauce they came with because the peppers are long, the bowl is shallow, and the sauce is not quite viscous enough to stay on the peppers well. Also, many of the peppers were exceptionally spicy. We order shishitos at every restaurant we visit whenever they are available and are used to maybe 10-20% having a high spice level, but my wife could not eat these at all. My vegetarian green curry with tofu wasn't bad at all and neither was my wife's noodle dish, but on both of them we remarked separately that it seemed like they were a bit too conservative with the flavors. We still liked the food, but it wasn't as good as I'd have expected to complement such strong service and ambiance. But, it was still good enough not to detract from the overall quality of the experience. I would go again, especially to try the iced coffee they brew there. Someday! read more

Loved the ambiance. I ordered the green curry, and I ate it all trying to decide if I liked it or not. It was different because they make their curry instead of just stirring in green curry paste like I do. My husband got the special, fried noodles with wagyu. I thought it was greasy, but that might be normal. The service was excellent. I would try them again, and try the red curry. read more

The outdoor seating area is my favorite part about this place. I got the green curry that was recommended by one of the workers there and I enjoyed it. Their thai tea was also very refreshing. read more

The beer here is wonderful. The food is good, but can be hit or miss. They serve everything mild and you have to specifically ask for chilis if you want it hotter. I've tried the pad Thai, and most of the curries. The green papaya salad has a lot going on with green beans and bacon but the flavor of the dressing is so delicious. The servers and bartenders have been very friendly each time I've gone. All in all, just be very specific about how you want your food and you will have a good time in a cute setting. read more

A friend has been wanting me to try this place since summer, and we finally went in for her birthday dinner. Food was excellent, cocktails were great but my Hendricks and tonic, wish it was better. Their signature cocktails were great however. I was a happy camper tasting all these wonderfully flavored food. I was a bit surprised to learn the head chef was a white guy, he could definitely cook and knows his food very well. Loved every dish I had that night and would go back when I m in town next time. read more

I was killing time the other day waiting for my Sunday yoga class to start when I had a hankering for nearby Thai. It also was going to be late and dark after yoga so I needed to get a meal in. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place was! I sat at the bar since I was in a time crunch. The servers at the bar were wonderful and very friendly. There's an all day HH on Sunday by the way! Specials on both food and drinks on a Sunday is a check plus in my book especially for this chica. Balling on a budget. Love the complimentary sticky rice that comes in a banana leaf with sauce on the side. Good stuff and it was a perfect portion so I didn't have to order a huge bulk of rice that I wasn't going to eat. It went perfectly with my chicken on a stick that came with red and peanut sauce. I also really loved the spicy edamame - seasoned with just the right amount of zest. I have ordered this at other places where they just dump hot sauce on it so I appreciate that they did not do that. I'll be back for the edamame for sure. Excellent tempranillo as well which was on the Sunday HH menu. Loved it! So if you are bougee on a budget like me come here and enjoy the vibes and food at the bar. Great patio with a fire going also and it is cute and intimate enough for a date night. read more

Fantastic food for a small nook of Dallas. Was here for conference. Tried this place just out of curiosity. Their papaya salad, veggie samosa and fish entree was excellent. Their tea and sugarcane juice is top notch refreshing. Best of all is the service. I saw a huge wine selection in the back. Hope to be back someday for that. Highly recommend this if you in the area. read more

I don't ever leave reviews, but I paid way too much money for food to have no flavor and dry as dirt. Pineapple fried rice was dry and nasty, pad Thai was dry and no flavor, imperial rolls were soggy no crisp to them, the cucumber salad the dressing taste like it was 50/50 mixed with water and who knows what, shrimp spring rolls was about the only thing half decent . Definitely not worth what I paid and not worth trying ever again. read more
