We grabbed a private table near the window to enjoy the sunset. We ordered the Papaya salad as an appetizer to share, my friend had the Tom Yum soup as an entree and I had the Green Curry spicy. The salad and soup were ordered medium heat. We had water with lemon and shared a Asahi beer. The Papaya salad was delicious, fresh and had a little heat. The Tom Yum soup was excellent, creamy, wonderful coconut and lemon grass flavors. The Green Curry was one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. Deep and complex flavors, creamy coconut offset the heat perfectly. The atmosphere was causal and relaxed. The server was friendly and helpful in answering a few questions we had about the menu. Never had to ask for water refills as service was very prompt. We look forward to returning very soon. Highly recommended for excellent Thai cuisine with bold flavors!

Everything is consistently flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Mae-Khong has become a favorite, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

We found out that their menu included Thai dishes from throughout Thailand; something that most Thai restaurants don't do.

One of my friends always goes for the yellow curry and I loved the masaman curry once, and honestly I don't think you can order anything bad off this menu. Also, the decor is very Thai and very fun. The only downside is that the place is pretty small, and on one visit we had a waitress who came off a bit intimidating. That said, I've also gone with a group of twelve and they were super accommodating, which says a lot. Five stars regardless! The food is just that good!

I wanted Thai patio for lunch today (7/10/26) cause I just recently lost my pet a few days ago and I currently am going through family issues so I wanted their food cause it's comfort food and always cheer me up, so I decided to place a order with them today over the phone like how I always do. When I called, an employee answered the phone, and I can tell it wasn't my usual employees that always takes my call so I answered extra nice and friendly. I said I wanted the lunch special pad siew and 2 spring rolls, the guy (never got his name), said "okay sounds good, is that all for you?" I said, "yes". So I waited the 20 mins as instructed, and when I got there, I noticed that my bag of food is bigger than usual. There is 2 small containers of spring rolls (4 of them total) and a bigger size of the pad siew. I saw the total and it came out to $33, when it should've been around $18-20. I did explain that I did place an order for the lunch special and only 2 spring rolls but the employee told me that I won't be able to get a refund but I could a free spring roll. Look, I completely get it that it's his first day, I've been there. I've worked at McDonald's, Taco Bell, raising canes, and restaurants. I get it, and I understand. But, it is upsetting that this one time, I didn't get my food the way I always do. I'm not mad but I am upset, still going to continue to come here but just praying that this won't happen again :/

Pro Tip: You can also place orders for pick-up online through their website for the same price as calling/dining in.

I ordered a Thai tea, which did taste good, but I was pretty surprised to see a refrigerator sitting out in the dining room with a pitcher of tea in it alongside generic, store-bought creamer. Knowing that's essentially how the drink was being made, I definitely don't think it was worth the $5 price tag. It's something I could easily make at home for a fraction of the cost. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. My partner noticed a couple of hairs in his noodles, which was honestly disgusting and immediately made us question the cleanliness of the kitchen. The food itself was also extremely greasy, you could literally see a puddle of grease on the plate. The whole restaurant had very much of a hole-in-the-wall feel, but unfortunately not the charming kind. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because our waiter was somewhat pleasant and friendly. However, friendly service alone isn't enough to make up for the food quality and cleanliness issues we experienced. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, and we definitely won't be returning.

The service was amazing! It was a small wait for the food but we ordered about 8 entrees & 2 appetizers that were worth the wait!

We're here visiting from alaska, definitely will have to hit this spot every time we visit. Their family is so cute and their daughter gave our son her teddy bear, cutest thing ever.

I really enjoyed the heat from the jalapeños -- just enough to add a kick without overpowering the dish. Even though I was bummed about the pickup mix-up, my order was ready when I arrived. The staff member was friendly and even mentioned I hadn't selected a rice option, so they went ahead and added one for me -- a small gesture that made a big difference. Overall, tasty food, quick service, and thoughtful staff. I'd definitely order from them again -- maybe next time, for actual delivery!

Honestly, it tasted and looked like they took their egg drop soup broth, made a few adjustments, and simply called it hot and sour soup. It was nowhere near what I was expecting. The wings were another letdown. They were undercooked and they had a funky, off putting taste that made me question the freshness of the cooking oil. The seasoning was off too, and overall, they just weren't enjoyable. I went in with high expectations based on the ratings, but the overall quality of the food just didn't live up to them.

They serve both Thai and Vietnamese food here and it actually ended up being exactly what I wanted. I ordered an order of Fresh Spring Rolls with Tofu ($5.50), the 1/2 Duck Curry Noodle -1/2 Duck ($23.95), and a Thai Fried Rice Dinner with beef ($11.95) on the Yelp app. The given time was precise and my food was hot and ready when I went to pick it up. Let me tell you that not one bad bite was had. I don't think I'd order their spring rolls again though because they were a bit cumbersome to eat and pretty much exploded from the crazy amount of noodles, lettuce, tofu, and shredded carrots packed inside. This appetizer was pretty much a meal in itself. As for the half duck, duck curry noodle dinner, they actually forgot my noodles and gave me rice instead which was a little disappointing since I was going to have Thai fried rice on the side as is. But I'm not mad! That curry was so insanely good and the rice absorbed every drop of that good good curry. As for the Thai fried rice, at spice level "hot," it was amazing. It came in a huge box that nearly buckled from the weight alone. It was crazy good. Seriously some darn good food here! Minus the exploding spring rolls and noodle mishap, I was pleased.
