This little place makes quality food. Their Tom Ka soups are a little sweeter than normal so you may consider asking for your food a little spicier. Speaking of spicy, they give you the usual 1-5 rating for how spicy you want your food. If you would feel incli ed to order a 2 than you may want to order a 3. I would guess they prefer to go less spicy than more because you can fix an order that isnt spicy enough but you cant with an order that is too much.

This is quite possibly my favorite Thai restaurant in the Seattle-metro area. I would even go as far as to put it into my top 10 restaurants in general. I love this places food so much. Dont mind me as I just list off all of the food that I always order when Im there: spring rolls, crab delight, coconut prawns, chicken phad thai, fried trout, and most importantly, the phad kee mao, which is the most bomb phad kee mao you will ever eat in your life.

Messes up order almost every time I come , always forgets utensils when I order to go, once I had order no spicy at all but it was literally burning my mouth to eat it because it was so spicy. I could see the peppers in it. And another time they had me sitting there for 30 minutes because they "accidentally canceled" my order. I only gave two stars because their food is really really good. When they do it right. The only reason I come back

Pretty good and inexpensive Thai lunch with multiple options to choose from. If the lunch menu doesnt get you going, the regular menu should :) Fast and friendly service, though I have to qualify that to ordering a lunch special. I have to come back for more and see how it goes. Ambiance is quite original - not your usual bland "tables and chairs" vibe. Size would be good for small groups. Ample free parking (its in a retail strip).

I absolutely love this place! All their food is delicious and they have huge servings. If youre hungry when you leave that is your fault. This is my favorite place for Thai food. Their red curry is one of my favorite dishes. The will add more veggies if you ask, they charge you an extra $2 though. The waitresses/waiter are always nice and friendly. It is a small restaurant, so it is not really ideal for large parties.

We have been going to Mali Thai for seven years, and it is the only Thai restaurant we patronize. Our daughter (7) loves the Phad See Iew. I love the Phad Kee Mao or the Phad Bokchoy. Husband favors Yellow Curry or a simple Chicken Satay. The staff is always sweet, efficient and courteous. The location makes it a nice finish to a day of shopping in Southcenter.

Worst thai food ever! The fresh rolls were almost like they took a bag of salad and dumped it in rice paper and rolled it up. The pad SeEw noodles were dark brown no flavor. Hardly any broccoli and what was there was soggy and meat was tough. I am in the hospital and was so looking forward to some good thai food. Hospital good would have been better.

Gross pad thai, had wayyyyy too much honey (never knew pad thai had honey in the first place o.0) and it was hardly spicy when placed at five stars (extremely hot). Red curry was alright, not the best. The food kind of gave my boyfriend and I stomach aches. Have to say that we are never going there again! We practically threw away the pad thai.

My go to lunch spot for Thai food. They have 10 awesome lunch combo items for $10 a pop. The interior is really nice and service is friendly. My only complaint is that their beautiful bamboo benches are hard for a big guy like me to get in and out of, but thats really a tiny thing. Also, their spicy scale is 5 points and is on the mild side.

Been a long time customer of Mali Thai. It is a smaller restaurant with friendly wait staff always stopping by to ask if anything is needed. I like to order the crab delight for appetizer and phad thai chicken for entree. Tried the other items on the menu over the last couple years. All with good flavor.

The flavors of the food were quite good, but if you like a lot of spice in your food, youll need to be very explicit about that. The star scale referenced in their menu seems to be largely ignored. Service was pretty mediocre but not bad enough to prevent me from stopping in again if Im in the area.

This was a cool little spot. We read the reviews and wanted a nice quiet spot for lunch. This joint has a cool atmosphere and very good food. We had phad thai and phad meo kee and both were fantastic. The server was very nice and attentive. We enjoyed it and will be back. "bomb digs"

I had shrimp fried rice and my wife had phad Thai. Both dishes were cooked very well .Its been a very long time since somebody knew how to cook shrimp right. The only thing I didnt like were the fresh rolls. The rolls were way too big and wasnt pleasant to eat because of the size.

They have poor customer service. I left my phone there and immediately called back asking if they saw it. They told me that they had it, when I went back to get it less than ten minute later, the waiters and waitresses stated they no longer have it. DISHONEST!

Drove 30 minutes to get there at 8:30pm. The guy there claimed they no longer were seating guests and only doing take-out, despite the fact the hours on the door and on this site said otherwise. They didnt give a damn, and only wanted to close early.

This is an awesome Thai place. I found the reviews for this place and I agree with everyone. I went in for lunch and even ordered a to go dish because the food was so good. I requested a 3 and it wasnt very hot so I will try a 4 in my dinner dish.

What a great eating experience! The staff are courteous and very attentive. The food is very tasty and has that authentic Thai flavor with your choice of "heat". I get a #3 most of the time. If you want Thai, you gotta try Mali Thai!

Unique dishes and tastes. Had a Thai salad with ground chicken. Totally awesome. Restaurant was too cold but clean. Fresh salad rolls only come in sets of 3 which makes it hard to order as an appetizer. Great service.

Ive always loved coming here. Their crab delight is my favorite. Service is always speedy and food never disappoints. They train their waiters and waitresses well. You can tell they really care for good customer service.

My friend thinks this place has too much sodium but it is my favorite Thai food restaurant in the area. The owner is really nice and so are the servers. I usually get my food to go and they are really fast.

The food was very good and the cost was easy to deal with. The portions are large enough that my little kids could share. The place is small and fills up quickly so be prepared for a wait.

So disappointed. Had a good time until I wanted to order food to go and dessert and was told the kitchen was closed. Decent restaurants let customers know before they shut things down.
