Delicious and authentic Thai flavors, portions are satisfying, wait staff is helpful and was great with food suggestions do try the refreshing papaya salad and any specials of the day. The place is cute and decorated nicely. Very cozy vibes.
Malakor Thai Issan is fairly close to MIA, so we stopped for lunch before a flight. For Miracle Mile, parking was easy midweek. The restaurant is small and cozy with colorful Thai adornments and a beautiful water serpent mural. Tom Yum Seafood had a good variety with shrimp, calamari, and even small oysters. It was very tasty with lots of basil, cilantro, mushrooms and the right amount of heat. It was one of the best Tom Yums I've had in a while. I usually like Tom Yum Koong or shrimp, so this was a nice change I'd recommend if you want soup. We shared Crispy Pork Belly that was stir-fried with basil, onions and topped with 2 fried eggs. With white rice it was authentic Thai! I'd prefer it even more crispy, but maybe we let it sit too long while drinking our soup. Our Mango Sticky Rice dessert came shaped like a heart. It disappeared fast. Malakor doesn't have a liquor license but the Prosecco and Thai beer were fine. We'll be back to try other menu items, especially the Issan specialties!
I got served the soda in a glass that had lipstick from the last patron not fully cleaned off, and the server didn't know what "mild plus" was for spice levels. At $20-$30+ per dish, I was surprised at the lack of care with cleaning the glasses and the lackluster service. The one time the server checked on me he filled my Sprite with water. The restaurant is open seating and half the shop is traditional chairs and tables while the other half of the shop is low tables to dine while sitting on cushions on the floor. The pad Thai - the most common of all Thai dishes and a staple of any Thai restaurant - was fine. It's nothing I'd write home about, or recommend to a friend. It was just... there. They've fallen into the trap of relying on added spice in substitution for having a good base flavor. At just under $24 before gratuity for a pad Thai and a Sprite I wanted better. 2/5.
Hmm, the food were okay. I got the pad see eew, the flavor was there, but the noodles were too saggy. The chicken satay is not too bad, but all the flavor were just relying on the peanut sauce, the chicken itself taste pretty plain. My friend did not like her fire chicken with rice, it just tasted like orange chicken. The Tom yum soup, however, was probably the worst Tom yum soup I've ever tried in a Thai restaurant. The soup feels like hot water mixing with the powder from those fast noodle package, all I can taste is msg and I can't taste any real ingredients that were used to cook the soup like lemongrass and tomato, etc.
Pleasant service with outdoor seating and yummy food. We were hungry after the airport, and decided to stop by here for a quick meal before checking in our hotel. We were seated quickly, and food also came out sizzling hot! All the dishes we ordered were good. Sauce in Tuna Tartare was a little sweet, but we like the dish over all. Crab fried rice, pad kee mao, papaya salad, laab, and calamari were great. Level 3 out of 5 was a little too spice for us, and we eat spicy. I would order 2/5 next time.
We went here for dinner on a Saturday night. We had never been to the Coral Gables area and were hungry for Thai food and thought this looked good. We were seated right away and ordered some chicken peanut satay and California rolls to start. Both were extra tasty. Sadly our entrees weren't nearly as tasty - lots of the protein was over cooked and my hubby found a piece of metal (from a scrub brush, we think) in his entree. We let the staff know - they did give us a discount but were not overly concerned about it.
Been coming here for years and never rated them. Food is always great. Tasty and authentic. Service is excellent and the restaurant while it is small it is nice and cozy. This time I did notice they had the temperature a little higher than usual. Maybe to save on the electrical bill but it was borderline uncomfortable. This was a one time thing for me so I'm not going to take away anything from it. Pad Thai is fantastic and probably one of the closest from Thailand. Everything else is great, the Tom Kha Kai soup is amazing. I order it spicy and it is delicious!!! This ain't fine dining, but it is amazing tasty and delicious food that won't disappoint.
Worst wings ever the picture that they post is not what you get you get frozen chicken wings. Granted their sauce was good the way of a price for bad bad wings
Came here on a Sunday night for dinner. Got to pick where to sit. Definitely a lot of different options on the menu, including items I've never seen at other Thai restaurants. Ended up ordering the Gang Aom Isaan Curry and the Chiang Mai Egg Noodles. Gang Aom Isaan Curry: This dish peaked my interest because I'd never had curry without coconut milk. I was warned by the waiter that this dish was very fishy, with anchovies. The dish reminded me of a soups Came loaded with vegetables, even one I haven't tried before--Thai eggplant. I realize now that I do like coconut milk based Thai curries more since they're creamier, but I'm glad I tried it. The Chiang Mai egg noodles was definitely more my favorite since it was loaded with creamy curry and noodles. Topped with crunchy noodles that go so well when it soaks in the curry. Definitely sizable so justifies the price tag. Service was very attentive. And I appreciate that the staff really know their menu. Would come here again if I'm in the area and craving Thai food.
Good little Thai spot in the Gables. It's right on Miracle Mile, so you'll have to look for street parking. They do have outdoor seating, but it's limited. The waiters are very friendly and accommodating, I always eat outside with my Basset Hound so I've never been inside. The food is self is very good and tasty. My only complaint is the outdoor table is just a $8 flimsy patio table, it's not even wood...a little more effort would be nice. And they didn't have lime, what kind of a Thai place, doesn't have lime? If they fix those two issues, I would definitely give it five stars.
I've had takeout from here several times and decided to finally have a dine in experience. I loved the decor. The walls and ceiling are covered with different Asian-inspired touches: dragons, fans, string instruments, buddhas, etc. The service was wonderful. I definitely felt taken care of. I started off with a sweet and strong lychee martini. The tom kha soup had a perfect balance of flavors. For my entree I tried the shrimp with ginger sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Malakor definitely ranks as one of the top Thai places in the neighborhood in my opinion.

We stopped by this location two times on separate days and they were closed. The Yelp, Google, and picture of the restaurant hours, are all different. The store hours posted at the restaurant has two different time. The One on the electric lighted sign, and then one print it and post at the window. We really want to try their food but the store was never open so we didn't get to eat. Is the location where is hard to find parking space the front of the store is nicely decorated but we are unsure about it. Looks like inside. Evaluate the food as we have not able to taste it due to the store open at weird hours. We are travelers, so we cannot come back-and-forth. But he really wanted to try so we came back the next day and they still close. read more

Cozy, tasty spot serving up traditional Thai food with excellent service Seems like this place doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's one of maybe three spots in all of Miami that serves a full traditional Thai menu, without a side of three different Asian cuisines tacked on to the menu. Papaya salad isn't my first choice but here, it was fresh, tasty and refreshing. Red curry on point. The coconut milk in the Tom Kha was DELICIOUS and rich. So good! Surprise highlight was the Pad See Ew. Thai basil flavor with firm tofu laden atop thick noodles.. can't go wrong. Maybe the best mango sticky rice in Miami! You know it's legit when the sticky rice is warm, the mango is ripe and there is an abundance of condensed coconut milk. read more

Absolutely delicious pad Thai, enough portions for 2 meals. The shrimp are flavorful and gigantic, and the noodles have a nice savory yet sweet taste. Do note I went with a level 2 spice level and it had a serious kick (and I'm usually good with spicy food). I'd definitely recommend you give them a try! read more

I love this place. The food is of good quality and decent price for it. Always share the plate as the portion is big. It is nicer to eat there so you can enjoy the plates presentation but it is also goos for take out. Love the pad-thai, Yaki soba and dumplings. read more
I have been obsessed with this place lately. Thai restaurant with a variety of options and something for everyone to enjoy. My personal favorite is the tom kha chicken soup, incredible. Such a creamy, savory soup yet refreshing at the same time so I have to get it every time. Also recently had the beef fried rice, spicy tuna roll, and the money bags. I have tried many different things off the menu and everything is flavorful and fresh. Even takeout is always hot when it gets to me. read more

First time here. Ordered for take out as we worked late. Pad Thai was great however it didn't look like the photo on the menu. No peanuts or fresh veggies on the side. The spring rolls were just ok. They come with four for $8. They were so small, like 2" long. I'm use to west coast regular 4". The Satay also wasn't presented like the ones online. Very thin and a bit dry. Just ok on them as well. I would order the pad Thai again but not the others side dishes. read more

First of all, the drunken noodles are a MUST HAVE! Every bite is so flavorful and I recommend it to everyone I bring to the restaurant.. HOWEVER, I had to rate the restaurant at 4 stars because their Thai fried rice had absolutely no flavor... I almost want to give it a 3 star rating because of how bad it was.. It was almost embarrassing that I had recommended the restaurant as a whole as trying my friend's rice but then I followed it up with "Well I told you to try the drunken noodles". The mango sticky rice is was also good but if I had seen the price before ordering it, I would've gone elsewhere... $10 felt pretty pricey for the dish but I did love the sweet glaze that they added on top.. In terms of the physical restaurant itself, it's a pretty small spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. It seemed to be mainly take out orders so you get plenty of 1 on 1 attention from the waiting staff. read more

One of the best Thai food spots in Miami. I order from here monthly using delivery apps such as DoorDash. Quality is great, servings are massive and it's always predictably delicious. Highly recommend the Tom Kha Soup and the Massaman Curry. read more

Uhhhh guys? What happened to the chicken satay??? Tonight we literally got thin hard chewy pieces of chicken with a couple of toothpicks stuck to the top like it's a skewer?? (See pic) This old favorite dish of mine went from tender flavorful chicken to jerky. I also have some beef with your spicing system, which is from 0-5. There is zero consistency! We got a "level two" last time on the pad Thai and the basil fried rice and it was so spicy I couldn't take another bite of my food. Literally my husband got two dinners bc I couldn't stand it. And it wasn't like only one dish was over-spiced. BOTH were insanely spicy. So this time we got a "level one." ZERO spice-- bland. I'm so confused. Is there no science to this at all? just done on the fly? There needs to be a universal spice system so that it's consistent each time. Despite our complaints, overall we do like this place. Just hope those concerns will be addressed. PROS: Good value for your money. I really love the basil fried rice. Also the spicy edamame. read more

I enjoyed eating Massa Man Curry with chicken, miso soup and Thai Fried Rice at this lovely decorated hidden place in Miracle Mile. The server was welcoming, and the food was delicious and had an amazing flavor. The chef is Thai and most of the staff is from Thailand which is quite important when choosing a good restaurant. I will be back soon with more friends to enjoy tasty dishes read more

Do they cater for vegans?
Thai food is coconut milk based. You can surely get any curry without meat! There are also quite a few other options you can get without meat which will be vegan friendly. Even the noodles are rice based.
