    Good vibes outside
    Tyler G.

    My dad was visiting and we had to try something on the bucket list. Malakor is so cute and off the beaten path in west palm. I love the back outside area and can see myself coming here for meals alone whenever. This is a really chill place with kind staff and great food.

    We were vacationing and my dad wanted Thai food. My search led us here. The outside looks like a tropical paradise. Inside is fairly small but beautifully decorated. All of the servers were welcoming and friendly (as were some patrons). I've had Thai food all over, and the quality and authenticity here is at the top. We ordered, sumner rolls, Thai Tea (great!), Lad Na, Beef Pad Thai, drunken noodles, and a special duck curry. If I'm in town again, I would definitely return. If you're already in town, you should go soon.

    This is the DELICIOUS warm pumpkin custard topped with Taro ice cream. It's dessert heaven!

    Malakor is STILL killing it with their food. My sister was in town for three weeks in December and said our lunch at Malakor was her best meal, and she ate at a handful of pretty swanky places with her rich, old college buddies, ha ha. She's always liked it and we never skip a December lunch there, but this recent one really was off the charts. We ordered two specials off the board: crispy duck red curry and soft shell crab Panang, with a side order of fried rice. I love that their fried rice is fluffy and not at all greasy. The crab and the duck couldn't possibly have tasted better. The employees are always marvelous as well, and sitting outside makes it that much more enjoyable. Bravo to my favorite Thai, and I'm so very lucky to live nearby Malakor!

    My favorite Thai spot located in Northwood, West Palm Beach. Most authentic Thai around and the service is always amazing. Love Malakor Thai Cafe!

    I ordered takeout but I'll be back for the sit down experience at Malakor Thai Cafe. The restaurant is located on the trendy Northwood neighborhood. My food was ready when I arrived and that was before my expected wait time. I had some sushi rolls the spider roll and the Malakor special roll everything was delicious and met expectations. I'll definitely worth the trip.

    Awesome food. Couldn't finish it all. Great portions. Good sake. Super great atmosphere outside. Definitely great if you are looking for Thai in palm beach. Thai fried rice was 10/10 Panang 8/10.

    Wonderful. I was wish family, so wasn't able to snap any photos of our food. I had miso soup (hot, aromatic, perfect) and money bags (crisp, fresh, vegetarian). Fiancé enjoyed papaya salad with fried tofu that had the perfect amount of crush. Our aunt had red chicken curry and brown rice. We all loved our food. Service was quick and friendly even very close to closing time. Outdoor seating area is large and decorated with care. They're in the valentine's season, currently. Back at our hotel, we chatted with a guest who also enjoyed the restaurant and even excitedly asked, "did you sit outside?"

    Thai food is good! Malabar Thai is amazing! I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and when the opportunity finally came, I'm glad I was able to! Parking is a bit of a challenge as there's only a small lot shared with an adjacent business but you may be able go find street parking as we did. I love that the menu includes creative specials listed on a board outside! While there was outdoor seating available, we opted for inside and really liked the simplicity but intentionality of the decor. I started off with a salad that came with the entree and the ginger dressing was one of the best I've ever tried. We ordered the crab fried rice and I was soo excited to see that they had Chiangmai noodle soup! I can only think of 2 other restaurants in Palm Beach that offer it and this one was one of my top 2! I ordered it with a 3 spice level and it was perfect. The crab fried rice had nice chunks of crab meat and was amazing! Our server was excellent making sure our glasses stayed full and we got refills as soon as we needed. Great service is what solidified the 5 for me! I really enjoyed my dining experience and cannot wait to return for lunch and dinner.

    Always a great experience at this spot! Highly suggest making a reservation because it's an intimate spot with limited space. The food is always amazing and never disappoints!!! A definite go to spot when looking for authentic Thai food in West Palm Beach.

    Found this place on Yelp and wanted Thai for dinner away from the beachside tourist traps. We really liked the decor here; once you step inside, the atmosphere is very Thailand and relaxing. I especially love the back patio area but it was a bit chilly for us to sit there. The staff here were awesome and I have zero complaints. One suggestion or criticism is that they did not ask us for the heat level for all of our entrees. The food was delicious with superb flavor in all but the spice level was super mild and inconsistent. The Penang Curry had the most spice and I would rate it as super mild. My Pepper Steak had no pepper heat at all, but still had abundant flavor. So if you are not asked about the spice level, you may want to insist on having that conversation when ordering. I would definitely come back here regardless of the spice issue, the flavored were incredible.

    Super fast and friendly service! The spring rolls and summer rolls were good. Tried the duck pad cha, pad Thai and another noodle dish. All were absolutely delicious. Would love to come back next time I'm in town!

    This has become my new favorite sushi restaurant. However the pho is by far my favorite thing on the menu. I wish I've taken photos of every meal I've gotten here but as a new mommy I just completely forget about photos n focus on my little one not getting to my plate before I can lol. The service is always amazing n very helpful with my babies need. I absolutely love the outside seats minus the mosquitos. This spot is a must try!!

    Malakor Tai is my favorite restaurant in West Palm Beach. The vegetables are fresh and perfectly prepared, and the sauces are exquisite.

OK, so the poke tacos were not that bad but they don't do fried rice very well. I ventured here with some heffa that I don't even talk to anymore. But that's another story.

We only got drinks this time and we picked the lychee martini, yamazaki swinger, and the Lua Pele Scorpion Bowl. The vodka and the sake in the lychee martini didn't go to well or it was just a bad mix that day. But I was not a fan of the drink. The yamazaki swinger was very watered down and we barely tasted the whiskey. The Lua Pele Scorpion bowl wasn't much of a show and while the drink did taste good, it was mostly filled with decorations. It's supposed to serve 2-4 people but after we took all the decorations out and poured the drink into a cup, it was barely a full cup. I'll definitely give it a try again as I'm not sure how the food was and maybe it was just an off day for the bartender.

At $38.99 per person before drinks, this is not an inexpensive meal. The food was average and didn't stand out enough to justify the price. The conveyor belt filled with vegetables, noodles, and other ingredients is visually appealing, but I noticed the items were left uncovered as they circulated throughout the dining room. While the presentation looks nice, it raised concerns for me about exposure within a busy restaurant environment. The biggest issue, however, was the overall atmosphere. During both visits, there was a noticeable mildew-like odor throughout the restaurant. I also noticed smells that appeared to be coming from cleaning products and nearby restrooms, which took away from the dining experience. After giving this restaurant two opportunities, I can confidently say I won't be returning. The concept is interesting, but the average food quality, pricing, and overall dining environment did not meet my expectations. I'm new to Florida and hopeful there are better hot pot restaurants in the area.
