Malee Thai by Sriracha

First time in these neck of the woods and was looking for a nice place for lunch, Yelp'd our options, and this place popped up, so off we went to try it out. Located in a small older shopping center, this casual and unassuming little mom and pop Thai restaurant impressed my wife and I very much. I guess it must have been a bit early or something, but there was just one guy sitting inside at the time who attended to us, took our order, and as we later learned, he was also the chef....nice guy.....seemed a bit shy, but was very helpful taking note of our preference for lower sodium options.We basically ordered our usual at any Thai restaurant, just to get a feel for how well the classic dishes were prepared, and how they tasted. Incidentally, I love Thai food and know what really good Thai food tastes like....and this place is legit!So, we ordered the Papaya Salad with shrimp, Yellow Curry with Shrimp...with brown rice, Pad See Ew (flat rice noodles) with Chicken, and an order of the Chicken Satay.Wow! Everything was served very hot (except the papaya salad), very fresh, and oh so delicious! The chicken satay was so tender and juicy, the shrimp so plump and firm, and all the flavors were so well balanced, and just hit all the right spots! And that Papaya salad, so perfectly fresh, crunchy, refreshing, with just the right balance of textures, and sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. Hats off to the chef.....he sure knows what he's doing, and he knows how to do it very well!Too bad this restaurant is so far away, otherwise my wife said she would definitely come back much more regularly. But, we plan to be back in the area again in the future, so this will be our spot to go for a delicious Thai lunch/dinner.Oh ya, love that they give us on the table an assortment of fresh cut chillis and spicy chilli sauces....nice touch!

When you walk in, you can definitely tell it's a mom and pop shop. Owner's daughter, I believe, was at a table on her tablet, kicking her feet with happiness. If there's anything I support, it's definitely mom and pop shops with their kids hiding somewhere in the restaurant. Keep up the hard work, owner :)My normal go-to for thai food: Ubon Thai, Bowl Thai/Sweet Rice.Food must be requested to be spicy for it to be spicy.Ordered t-go; received a text that my food was ready for pick up in 5 minutes.Food: 1. Thai style jerky, pork ($10.99)---Thai style jerky tends to be somewhat more dry, hence the name jerky. The pork is cut thin, so it did come out more dry than I would like. The thicker pieces weren't as tough. I would appreciate a slightly thicker cut on the meat. The accompanying sauce has a nice kick and tang to it. Also comes with a few slices of cucumber and tomatoes.2. Basil fried rice, beef ($11.99, +$1.00) ---Also known as spicy fried rice. The basil really comes through. It usually comes spicy at other restaurants, so I assumed Malee would make it spicy without requesting it. No bigee, but will definitely request for spice next time. I added my own pepper flakes at home.3. Pad thai, chicken ($11.99)---I definitely like a pad thai that leans more sweet and saucy, but Malee did a great job at balancing the sweet and tartness that pad thai should have. It is slightly on the less saucier side but it could be because I did take out. There definitely is sauce pooled in the corner of the container though. Chicken is white meat, leans more dry. Shredded veggies that come with it have no dressing. While I do still prefer my go-to spots, Malee Thai is a solid spot. Will definitely be returning to try more.

I had the basil fried rice and it was very good. I think I can actually eat it every day. Oh not just regular rice, It has to be this basil fried rice. I placed the order over the phone and it was ready when I arrived, No muss, no fuss. "I shall return", (in my Arnold voice)

Placed an order for Togo the other night. My wife ordered drunken noodles, pad Thai, green curry and pineapple fried rice. After a short drive home, we opened the containers and started eating. Pad Thai was standard, which is usually a good sign of a Thai restaurant. Green curry was also good and comparable to other good Thai spots. The drunken noodles had to be my favorite thing we got. The color didn't look like it would be good, but you could definitely taste the stir fry flavors. Pretty sure it gets stir fried with Thai chilis with gave it a hot kick! My least favorite item though had to be the pineapple fried rice. I usually don't get pineapple fried rice, but theirs was almost baked with curry powder. It was basically the only thing I could taste. Overall, I'd give this place a 3.8/5 but rounding up to 4.

My family recommended this spot to me and oh man am I blown away by this place. Food was amazing and they have lunch specials on Saturdays! Got the Pad See Ew and it is the best one I've ever had! Lunch size was still a big portion and they texted me when the order was ready for pick up. I didn't eat there but the location looked very clean and comfortable! Highly recommend this spot!

Best Thai food! We had the green curry and pad sew ew and both were so good. It's fresh food, seasoned to perfection and just so tasty. We came for dinner, close to closing time but we were never rushed and the service was 5 stars. It's a small restaurant but nicely decorated and most importantly clean! I would highly recommend you try this place out.

Cozy clean restaurant. This was my first time visiting and I will be back..I eat some very tasty chicken satay with peanut sauce, glass noodle salad with chicken and shrimp. And a large Thai tea. Reasonably priced.

10/10 food and service. I'd call this the ideal Thai place- every dish was the ideal version of what you're expecting. The curries were bomb and the chicken satay peanut sauce was perfect. Spice level 1 was the perfect amount of kick without the pain. I have really no clue what the blue 'Ocean' drink I got was but it was delicious. Will be back.

The food is amazing, and tasty. The place is very clean and great service. The chicken wing is the top menu for me.

Very good price very good food very delicious very fresh The tom kha was delicious rice thai tea and basil chicken is amazing very well made by the cook and The ambience is clean and nice. The service is amazing the owner always has a pleasant face . The wait is a bit long but thats because many people order online and food is being made even if noone is inside eating . The cook accommodates very well to whatever you want .
