    Tofu pad Thai is good
    Azile Y.

    My tofu pad Thai was a bit pricey ($16 before tip and tax), but delicious and authentic. Staff is great. I'd come back here and try more dishes.

    Pad Thai with a pile of crushed red pepper
    Marty T.

    $17.50 for pad Thai chicken lunch carry-out. And doesn't even include a crab rangoon anymore. This place is pricing itself out of the market. The food isn't that great either -- I ordered "hot" spicy level and just got a big pile of crushed red pepper dumped on top. This place has always been hit or miss, but these ridiculous prices have made it a permanent "miss" for me.

    Plenty of seating all around, the food came out quickly with average portions. The food itself was good, I'm glad I went out and tried it! The table cloth had a stain present, could not enjoy the dishes to their full extent because of this. The restaurant itself was particularly warm as well Vegan friendly.

    Pad Thai, Tiger Cry Beef, Pad Key Maw, Thai Fried Rice
    Alizabeth B.

    Would have probably gone with 4.5 if Yelp let us do half stars. Was really good. We ordered tiger cry beef, the pad Thai, and pad key maw. We also ordered a side of the fried rice. Portions were really big and food was really good. Pad Thai was hot and the pad key maw was mild. Hot was hot. But the mild wasn't spicy at all. Sauce with the tiger cry beef was a little spicy, but really tasty. Definitely have lots of left overs. Word to the wise, if you like it saucy, order with extra sauce. Will definitely go back. Our usual place is the Thai Place on 87th in OVP, but we live in Lee's Summit so Mali Thai is a lot closer.

    Shrimp pad ke maw

    I love Thai food. This place is a great addition to my list. We have been here 3 times in 1 month. The food is great and flavorful. The staff is very friendly. We plan to continue to come. If you are looking for good thai food, check them out!

    Thai Noodle Soup
    Cat B.

    Working my way through their menu, everything is honestly amazing. The Thai noodle soup and Tom kha soup are my absolute favorites but my entire family has their own favorites and you really can't go wrong.

    Chicken pad sew eaew
    Felita M.

    One of the few restaurants with real silverware, glassware and even tablecloths! Water goblets on the table and the waitress filled them all throughout. Food arrived quickly. My husband's entree (medium spice) seemed over cooked with gummy noodles. My red curry with chicken (hot spicy level) was good. Not the best nor tastiest. Portion sizes were good. For lunch, each was about $13. But, we ate allllll of it. Hubby would give Yelp rating of 4. I can't be that generous. If his noodles didn't look nor taste blah and hadn't been cooked to oblivion, would have been a 4 for me too.

    Found this place by scrolling through Yelp Reviews! We were not disappointed! The chicken satay & Crab Rangoon was tasty! The Pad Thai was authentic and tastes pretty close to what we get in Thailand. It's in a strip mall, but when you enter the restaurant you forget that it is in the strip mall! Parking is easy. The employees were friendly and offered suggestions.

    Pineapple fried rice with pineapple
    Kara H.

    Service and ambiance were good- fairly standard, but quick and friendly. We all had the pineapple fried rice with various meats- the shrimp was good but nothing exciting, and if you want any flavor at all go for the medium spice level. But everything within the dish tasted boiled- even the pineapple had no flavor. It was the strangest thing. The seafood version had some chewy calamari in it- not a dish that I would recommend at all. The saving grace was the pad key mao- other restaurants call it drunken noodles. Super flavorful with a good balance of veggies. That dish was what I would come back for, again and again. So what you order here matters, as it can be hit or Miss.

    Pangang curry with steamed rice! Yumm!!!
    Christy L.

    I love it here, love the place, love the people, and love the delicious food. Pad Thai is great but my favorite is the curry!

    I treated my friend to lunch at Mint Sushi this week, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreFrom the outside, Mint Sushi is a modest storefront business in a strip center. But step inside the door, and you've entered an Asian teahouse that's welcoming and cheery. The walls are painted a bright mint green, with paintings of herbs and an entire wall of customers' photos celebrating their birthdays. The place is open and airy and the tables are spaced well so that one is dining in a communal place but can still carry on a conversation in some privacy. Shelly and Lin-Lin were our servers, and they were AMAZING! Shelly greeted us and was a most hospitable hostess; when we asked for a table nearer the windows, she was happy to oblige. Both Shelly and Lin-Lin guided us through the menu, answering our questions and giving us thoughtful recommendations for food and drink choices. Our meals were EXQUISITE! My friend had the Chrisnana roll and I had the lunch special of two rolls with onion soup. Both were plated beautifully; we took photos because they were utterly charming! The Chrisnana roll was delicious; the banana was surprising but melded with the savory sushi flavors. My California roll was a perfect blend of crab, avocado and cucumber wrapped in perfectly-cooked rice. And my Sweet Potato roll was mouth-wateringly delectable! There was a crisp topping on the roll which perfectly complemented the sweet smoothness of the potato filling. Both meals were reasonably priced and served quickly. When my friend and I lingered to talk, both Shelly and Lin-Lin checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed, but we never felt rushed to leave. They were so friendly and genuinely happy to have us join them at the restaurant--it was such a warm and welcoming experience! We'll definitely be back, and we'll bring more friends! Thank you so much for a delightful time!
