What People Are Saying About Mai Thai

Welcome to Mai Thai Restaurant. I have put together those dishes that have proven to be most popular with American taste on the New York and California coasts. The heart of Thai Cuisine is the curry paste, with its variety of flavors and styles. Steamed white rice, the staple part of the Thai meal, blends the spices to delightful consistency. Beer or wine goes well with Thai food and I maintain a full selection for your dining pleasure. There is no MSG (monosodium glutamate) in any of our dishes. If there is a dish on our menu that you would like to have it vegetarian style, please let your…

In Short – Authentically inspired and heartily spiced Thai food is served up swiftly at this quaint and comfortable eatery. A raised ceiling keeps diners from feeling too cramped and the white-linen tablecloths give an air of elegance to the otherwise simplistic dining room. Diners sample spicy soups and curries, salads and seafood. House favorites include the cashew chicken, deep-fried fish and the seafood clay pot, which is served hot and spicy. –

Great Food!
by richhsu
I just had lunch at Mai Thai Restaurant the other day, it was a great surprise. The food and service was great! I went with a couple of co-workers during our lunch break. I had the Pineapple Fried Rice, while the others had green curry and phad thai. Since I enjoy spicy food I was able to adjust the spiciness to my liking. They also provided hot sauce on the side just in case, which I would highly recommend the hot oil on any dish. I think me and my coworkers will become regulars here!
- Pros: Great Food, Good Service, Ability to adjust spiciness.

Best Thai Restaurant in Houston!
by missarugula
I love the food here! Their Tom Kha Gai soup is awesome, as are their fried Tofu appetizer and their Pad Thai noodle dish. My boyfriend loves their "Tiger Cried Steak", as well as their Green Curry. You can have either white or brown rice, the latter at no extra charge like at some restaurants
Yes, the decor is a little odd but that is the case in most Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The main thing to me is excellent food and friendly service, both of which Mai Thai definitely has. Also, the prices are extremely fair for this quality of food.

Charming, Caring, Heavenly Flavors, Wine Excellence!
by FHF400
I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. The decor inside is charming, the food fresh and delicious, and the hosts warm and caring. I've enjoyed Mai Thai for over ten years for lunches and dinners with friends and for parties for special occasions. It finally occurred to me to write a few words to let others know how special it is. Some of my favorite dishes there include: the soup Thom-Kah-Gai - the perfect blend of coconut, ginger, lemongrass & lime transport me to heaven every time; Pad Thai - simple, fresh and mild, with crumbled peanuts, makes it difficult for me to it anywhere else; Chicken with Peanut Sauce - delicious; very fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. I have sampled many of their other dishes as we pass everything around when we go in groups and everything is delicious. They can adjust the amount of Thai "heat" for your tastes. Mary Le, the owner, is also a wine expert and can guide diners to special wine experiences. She has stories from vineyards and she genuinely cares about her patrons. I always feel peaceful, pampered and restored when I dine there and I love introducing my friends to Mai Thai's delights.
