    Crispy Garlic Chicken, garlic green beans, white rice, Chicken Pot Stickers, Phad Kee Mao
    Kween K.

    Food, quality, and taste are all superb! Service is great as far as consistency with the food. I've never been inside so I can't speak to the ambiance. However, this is my second time having it and it's absolutely delicious! I ordered the Thai tea, garlic green beans, phad kee mao, and the crispy garlic chicken with white rice and today I added the chicken pot stickers! All delish! Check it out you won't be disappointed P.s. don't mind the presentation I ate some prior to taking the photo!

    Food has wonderful flavor, chicken was crispy, pad thai was cooked well, pot stickers were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Absolutely wonderful. Super friendly service and was quiet for the evening - probably because everyone is watching football at the moment. Area has a nice moody vibe with the lights and it is very clean.

    My wife and I found this strip mall Thai restaurant on Yelp when looking in the area for Thai food. The place was pretty empty around 5 pm which made us a bit nervous but it was a Monday night and we thought maybe it's mainly a lunch place. The interior is decorated nicely and the staff was friendly and fairly attentive. My wife and I shared orders of the Panang Curry, "Showing Rama", "Phad Kee Mao" (misspellings were on the receipt) and hot tea with a side of white rice. We order these dishes fairly regularly at most Thai restaurants we frequent and this was our first time at Malakor. We have had better Thai food elsewhere. Both the Panang Curry sauce and the Peanut sauce were watery. Not a fan. The Pad Kee Mao was very normal but not special. With each dish we ordered chicken and normal spice levels for us. We really love Thai food and were a bit let down by the food quality here. Nothing was terrible, it was just average.

    Nice Thai restaurant with adequate seatings. Service is friendly and prompt. Food is pretty good with decent portions and reasonable price. We will definitely go back to try something else.

    Malakor has become my boyfriend's and my date night spot. Since writing my previous review here a year ago, we've probably been here at least 25 times because the food is just too addicting! It is the most authentic Thai food I've had since visiting Thailand, and the dishes are consistently cooked to perfection. 80% of the time, we get PAD SEE EW, YELLOW CURRY, and/or PAD RAMA, but we've also branched out and have tried their GOLDEN NOODLE, PAD KHEE MAO, PUMPKIN CURRY, GARLIC GREEN BEANS, PADH PRIKH KING, and PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE. All dishes we've tried are excellent, but their pad see ew is by far, the BEST pad see ew in the Seattle area. As people who like spice and some heat, we usually order 3 or 4 star spiciness, but 5 stars for the Rama since the peanut sauce tends to make the spice milder. Service is always wonderful. The waiter and waitress are always very friendly and attentive. The interior is clean and modern. We never have trouble getting a seat. We also enjoy listening to the Bossanova covers of pop songs that they play in the background. Overall: 6/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

    Basil fried rice with beef

    Hands down one of my favorite Thai places!! They have all the appetizers we love which is a win! Recently tried the crispy garlic chicken and the basil fried rice with beef & extra veggies. Both were AMAZING!!!

    Mango Sticky rice
    Skyler D.

    I had a delightful early lunch here. The food was plated gorgeously tasted amazing. I got yellow curry, Thai iced tea, and mango sticky rice. The Thai tea was very sweet yet rich; exactly how I like it. The curry was scrumptious. I've never had bell peppers in my yellow curry before and there were little crispy bits (of maybe onion?) on top. The mango sticky rice was ripe and warm and sweet. An utter treat. The atmosphere here is great and there's lots of big windows to let in light. Even though it's one room, the differing levels really splits up the space. The music was calming and chill and not too loud. The waitress and waiter also came around so regularly that I didn't feel like I had to flag someone down just to get my check. I will definitely be a repeating customer.

    This place sucks

    This place is average the crispy garlic chicken was not crispy and the prawn pad Thai had no flavoring

    Spicy garlic lunch special
    Joshua P.

    after all the reviews, I was really excited to finally try this place! Needless to say, I was disappointed on pretty much every level. Service was pretty slow for lunchtime, even though it wasn't that busy The environment is pretty cool, it's like they renovated an old restaurant and put it their own their own flare on it, which I totally appreciate! but where it fell, the shortest was their quality of food. I just thought it was below average. A non-repeat place for me

    Pad woon sen
    Yin K.

    Visited here on a Monday night for dinner. The place was slow when I first arrived. Greeted by a man who seemed like the owner of the place. I ordered their papaya salad with thai salty black shell crab. It tasted pretty authentic, however the amount of crab is too little. I only had like 3 tiny crab legs in the salad.. Pad woon sen noodle was good! It had that almost charred flavor that comes from the wok that you can usually get from most asian dishes. I got a heat level 3 so it was decent for me as well

    Yum Goong: Prawn Salad with Level 4 Spicy Sauce
    Jon V.

    Food: authentically good; enough said from noodles to curry dishes Service: friendly Ambience: spacious and clean Advice: when eating authentic dishes, order your curry with different proteins (chicken, beef, seafood, etc) and ALWAYS order jasmine rice on the side. SHARE! Order the dishes and everybody in your party share the dishes with rice. Whether noodles or rice or salad, put them in middle of table and share as opposed to eat your individual dishes.

    Phad Kee Mao

    We love all the foods we ordered today, Panang curry, papaya salad, heavenly beef, crab fried rice and pad see-ew, all delicious! The service is super nice and friendly, clean restaurant and beautiful decor. A go to Thai spot in the area.

    I ordered from uber eats, and they didn't ask for a spice level. Are their dishes normally super spicy?

    Yes, just had lunch at Malodor yesterday and they did asked us how we'd like our food. Their spice level is 1-5......1 weak and 5 super spicy!

Food: We had the pineapple fried rice, soft shell crab curry, appetizer sampler, and a pad see ew. The fried rice comes with a large portion of fragrant charred rice with lots of toppings and chicken. The appetizer sample was hot and fresh, with a very large piece of chicken satay. The soft shell crab curry had 2 good sized pieces of crab and lots of other curry veggies. All dishes were very yummy! Price: Dishes will run anywhere from $20-$25 dollars which is standard price for Thai food in 2025. The portions are large and I felt like we paid fair value for the food. There were large pieces of chicken in the fried rice and the crab curry came with 2 full crabs. Service/Ambiance: The staff here is kind and attentive. They frequently filled our waters and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Ambiance wise, the restaurant is well decorated.

I get it if it's 15-20 minutes before closing, but 40 minutes? That's plenty of time to seat a table. At that point we just left because if that's the level of customer service, why would we settle for to-go? Honestly, not surprised they have such a low rating.

    I was so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! Every single dish we had was delicious…read more First of all, the pho. The portion size is large, which I love! Other places will charge extra for the large size, or up charge for extra broth/noodles. Here, they give you a large portion upfront. Amazing. Also, you don't have to add hoisin or anything - broth comes with the perfect flavor already. You can add other toppings to your liking. My husband ordered (to my surprise) chicken noodle soup. He is normally a spicy curry type person, and I was very skeptical about his choice. Well, this is not your average chicken noodle soup. If anything, this is the furthest thing from it, in the best way. The noodles are thick, soft and chewy. They slightly remind me of mochi, although they're not sweet. The broth is also subtle, flavorful and a different taste profile from the pho. Everyone enjoyed this dish, especially my little toddler. The sausage was very flavorful, moist, and paired nicely with the sauce (which was slightly spicy). And, the pork belly was the perfect brown color, soft, moist, and decadent. Forgot to take a photo though - too busy digging into the food. We are so glad to discover such a good restaurant!! Vibe is pretty relaxed. Staff was very quick and efficient. All in all, would happily come back to try more dishes.

My cousin thought the Nam Khao Tod was a little sweet. It came with a little piece of lime, but probably wasn't enough lime. I really liked the Nam Khao Tod; it came with lots of veggies. The long bean salad was also pretty good; it tasted and smelled just as how a good papaya salad should. We enjoyed our food, the only problem was we didn't get any service after we received our food. He never once checked up on us once. My cousin bit into a spicy pepper, and drank all of her water. He never came to refill, so she started drinking my water. We had been done for about 15 min, just sitting and talking, waiting for him to come by. I kept picking at my food while I was waiting, even though I was full already. Finally, my cousin went up to him to ask for boxes. Prices are pretty decent. Maybe I'll come back for takeout.
