    Love this place! Drunken noodles never fail. Love everything thai on the menu. Coconut curry soup is my favorite when its cold outside. Great service, especially Sarah! she deserves a raise & promotion!

    Malai Kitchen never misses. Some of my favorite Thai dishes cooked to perfection every time — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. I’m not a regular, but whenever I get the chance, I pull up with an open wallet and an empty belly, and leave completely satisfied. Consistently great food and totally worth every visit.

    Delicious Asian fusion dishes! We tried the Malai favorites sampler - which was surprisingly tasty for every item on the dish, especially the chicken satay! Our table tried the chicken pad Thai, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, and panang curry bowl. Everything was great and the spice level was moderate for our group. Their drink menu was also fun to try including the sugar cane juice and ginger refresher! This location is inside a shopping area and it may be difficult to finding parking. We ended up doing street parking and walking a bit to the restaurant. Thankfully no wait for us and the staff was very kind and patient with our large group, offering fan favorites and recommendations.

    I had bookmarked Malai Kitchen and was thrilled to finally dine there.

    The restaurant was bustling that evening, but we were seated right away upon arrival. The service was exceptional from start to finish. They offer a full bar with a solid selection of beer, wine, sake, spirits, and cocktails. I enjoyed their house IPA and highly recommend it.

    We were served complimentary sticky rice with sauce while we decided on our starter and main course. The shrimp spring rolls made for a tasty appetizer, and the Bangkok Street Fried Rice and Glass Noodles were outstanding entrees. The flavors were vibrant, and the spice levels were perfectly tailored to our request.

    The restaurant’s ambiance is warm and modern. Parking is available at the mall or on the street.

    Pricing: Moderately high, but well worth it for the quality.

    Very authentic. The Coconut Soup is the closest dish to Tom Yum Soup. It's quite sour, and goes really well with rice. Then we ordered Pad Thai. Also, the Vietnamese Pho and curry lamb we had were all very delicious. Only the Pad Thai was a bit too salty; everything else was great. The serving was a bit slow, but the restaurant environment was nice.
