Maple Valley Thai Cuisine

UPDATED: Went in the other day for the first time in only a few months and the service was not the best. I was met with rude looks and comments while ordering and speaking with the server. The food seems to have also gone down hill quite a bit. The vibe inside the restaurant is still the same tho, I like the dark walls.

w h a t d i d I t r y ?* Pad Thai: 4/5The only reason this dish didn't get 5/5 is because I found the flavor of the sauce to be a bit lacking. From my understanding, Pad Thai is supposed to be a blend of sweet, salty, sour, and savory. I could feel those flavors were there, but they weren't as strong as some other places I've tried. Regardless, this is probably the best Thai restaurant (if not the only Thai place) in Maple Valley so it's good enough for me!* Crab Rangoon: 5/5There's nothing different about this dish compared to other Thai places. It's a yummy classic. A wonton wrapper filled with cream cheese and imitation crab deep-fried and then served with a sweet and sour red sauce. I love the crunch these things have. a t m o s p h e r e: 4/5The only times I've been here, it's been quiet. I believe there are only booths available for seating, but my memory could be a little fuzzy. It's also pretty dark in there, similar to typical romantic dinner spots. p a r k i n g: 5/5Coming from Seattle, it was so nice to have a dedicated parking lot for customers and it's free!

My family and I went back there the day before Thanksgiving. I have to say service was not great at all! The lady who handed us the food didn't even look at us. She just drop the food and go. They gave us the check when we were waiting for our last dish. Instead of apologizing, they asked if we still want our food. The other girls try really hard but they definitely need more training.I must say the food was good and the decor was very nice. I would not go back to dine in but I would order to go and have rice at home.

Every time I am back in the Seattle area I crave Thai food as AZ did not have good Asian food. We chose this place as it was close to where my grandparents live. They have a nice dining area and dark ambiance but it fits the vibe. We started with the pot stickers. It came with 6 and they were delicious and perfectly crispy. It also came with the amazing dipping sauce on the side. I had the chicken and shrimp fried rice. I paid extra to have both but not terrible. The shrimp were large and not fishy; they were cooked well and easy to get the tail off. The chicken was also delicious with no sketchy pieces. I loved the fried rice. It was incredibly flavorful and mildly spicy. I asked for 3 stars but definitely could have done 4! The only thing I didn't like about the fried rice was the immense amount of onions. Thankfully they were large enough to easily pick out.My grandma had the cashew chicken, which was phenomenal. The crispy garlic chicken was breaded and so good. The Currie was also fabulous. Everything we all ordered was phenomenal and I'll definitely be back!!

This place was quite empty for how great the food is. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon on a whim after seeing some positive reviews and we weren't disappointed. The server could have been friendlier - but she didn't miss a single aspect of the actual service. She nailed it all. Water refills, napkins, share plates, we lacked for nothing. The place was clean and had really nice furnishings. The actual food was definitely the best part though. The garlic fried chicken was the standout, sticky, sweet, and smoky! and the Penang curry was an awesome second. Deep flavor with good spice. All high quality meats throughout. We loved it and would absolutely stop again if in the area!

It's been a while since we have eaten in the restaurant. Normally we get it to go. They have half the restaurant closed off and the wait staff was really odd. Food was great as always. When we arrived the hostess/server couldn't figure out that she could put 2 tables together to seat our party of 7. Simple things seemed difficult for some of the staff to figure out. We might be sticking to take out from here on out

Great food; orgasmic good, but pricey. I have to write at least 85 characters so here we go again...Great food; orgasmic good, but pricey.

We moved to the area recently, and I had been wanting to find a new favorite Thai spot. Didn't think I'd find one THIS good. I don't know what took me so long to try it! Walking in, the restaurant is VERY nice - not what I was expecting for some reason. It's cozy, dimly lit, feels higher-end with lots of wood detail, roomy larger booths for big groups, jazz playing overhead, very clean. The menus have excellent pictures of the dishes, so you aren't left guessing or relying on customer photos online. Reasonably priced dishes. Service was fast and friendly. I was surprised they weren't busier on a weekday at dinner time - though I did notice many to-go orders being picked up. My husband nearly always orders fried rice at Thai restaurants, but I forced him to go with something new that looked tasty - crispy garlic chicken. It looked just as good as the pics, AND TASTED AMAZING. He was VERY happy with his choice, and ordered a side of jasmine rice. Ate every bite. We also ordered the fresh rolls w/ prawns - as we do at every Thai restaurant. I loved them, but the hubby has a texture issue with certain noodles, and these were a bit "gummy" for his taste. LOL More for ME! (they were good!)I ordered my standard Phad See Ew w/ beef, 2 stars. SUPER tasty! ... just typing this up, I'm salivating and ready to go back for more! Do yourself a favor and dine-in here. Great Thai food!

I have been a regular customer at this place for years, but unfortunately, the quality and value have declined significantly. After a terrible experience yesterday, we have decided not to eat here again. The food is expensive, contains minimal meat, and lacks authentic flavor. The final straw was the poorly prepared rice. I ordered red curry for over $14, and the rice was mushy as if it had been cooked with too much water. My wife, who is Vietnamese, and I eat rice often, and this rice was so bad we ended up throwing it away. The red curry had very little chicken and tasted pre-made. I understand restaurants are struggling, but please don't cut corners on your recipes to save costs. If the rice is poorly made, remake it instead of serving it. We have had many good meals here before, but now the food is overpriced, poorly made, and lacks value.

So this is what a $17 lunch special of Chicken Panang Curry looks like (no rice included). Food was so so...Extremely disappointing.
