Thai tea forever
I absolutely love thai food, but i was very disappointed. Wait staff was terrible, we waited over a hour for a food.

Large appetizer platter. They were out of one of the items, so they decided to add more tofu (we aren't tofu fans, so we lost.)
Variety of sauces for appetizer platter.
Tom Yum soup. Yum!!

This was the worst food I've ever had. The Rama chicken tasted like starchy peanut butter and over priced over cooked, 1/2 a starNasty

Got the chicken Pad Thai and it had zero flavor. The spring rolls were good but the sauce that came with it seemed like it had been watered down. It was very runny and also flavorless. Will not be going back.

We love coming here! The Pad Thai is the best on the menu. Their tea is awesome too, the service is always quick and always worth the price. We will always make the drive to come here.

Staff is always very nice and welcoming, food is delicious and comes out hot everytime! If you go during lunch hours you get tons of quality food for a great price. A little pricy at dinner but more than worth it!

We've been Mekvilai fans since they opened their doors. Easily the best Thai in Hickory with good people running the store.Although we normally get takeout, we have dined in. The interior is spacious and gorgeous, decorated in rich reds and golds with a Thai theme. Our standard order is crispy rolls, spicy shrimp rolls, drunken noodles, and mee ped or Thai fried rice. We've had other dishes - Tom Kha Gai, tulip dumplings, pad thai - and they're all good. Everything is fresh and tasty. The portions are generous and the pricing is reasonable. Pay attention to the heat levels. We think they run true to the description. I'm a dedicated pepper head but I haven't ventured about "hot" yet. Be aware if you're dining in, the service can be slow especially if they're busy. But when you get your food you're in for a treat.If you've never tried Thai, start here. If you love Thai, try Mekvilai!

Just at there. Called ahead and they had all the food ready for our group. All the standard rice dishes were good. Two adults (not large people) had to order a second meals. Not very filling. I had Pho with chicken. Have eaten it a many Thai restaurants. The broth was hot and good but NOTHING but rice noodles and a little of scallion and cilantro floating. There wasn't 2 oz of chicken, no greens or mushrooms - Nothing but broth and rice noodles. Rating 1 out of 5 for Pho. Everything else 4/5. 2nd time we ate there. Probably never again.

Service was terrible and the restaurant was clearly understaffed. Placed order for our dinner and one hour later we still were not served our dinner in spite of asking the waiter more than once what was the status of our meal. He kept telling us it was coming. We finally had to leave because we had tickets to a concert. We had to find the waiter to tell him to box up our meal when he told us they had not even started to cook our dinner because there were two (yes, only two) tables who ordered ahead of us and they had to cook their meals first. We had ordered a stir fry dinner and a curry which should not take much time to prepare. Meanwhile several take out orders came and left with food. This restaurant clearly prioritizes their take out customers over their dine in customers. I can't comment on the food because we never got our dinner. We will not be back. There are other good Thai restaurants in Hickory.
