The complimentary sticky rice with the ginger sauce was so good, I find myself randomly craving it. The Thai tacos were my absolute favorite dish. The soup was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again. I will be dining here again and again!

I went into Malai Kitchen for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint! It is definitely a popular spot in Uptown but I don't think people typically go for Brunch - but they should definitely start! The asian influences in the brunch menu are delicious and you still have access to the full regular menu. I got the shrimp pad thai and it was delicious - I would highly recommend! The service was prompt and the waitress was very polite in answering questions. One of the individuals I went with had some dietary restrictions and the staff was patient and thorough in answering all questions and even came back to reconfirm if certain ingredients were alright! The location is in a great spot! It is right in the heart of West Village, so the indoor/ outdoor seating gave great options depending on what everyone's preference was. The decor was lovely as well! I will definitely be coming back!

Stopped by after shopping in the area during a frigidly cold President's day weekend. Attentive & friendly service. Ordered the chicken congee & a side of crispy roti to dip into some curry sauce. Generous portions; the roti was nice & warm & the flavorful congee was very comforting . Super yummy & hit the spot!

I came here for the first time on a weekend night. The ambience was great and service was pretty amazing. No issues there. The egg rolls are amazing and were small, which is great for a snack. The chicken and broccoli was definitely filling but I couldn't even eat half of it. The Vietnamese beef was okay but we were also sick, so that may be the culprit.

My husband and I are from Houston & were looking for some delicious Asian food and this place did not disappoint! Amazing service & recommendations from our knowledgeable waiter Anthony who went above and beyond serving us! We forgot our leftovers and he personally caught up with us as we were headed to our car to hand it to us (thank you Anthony)! The food was delicious and full of flavor! We got the imperial rolls & Vietnamese meatballs for appetizer and the massaman lamb shank to share and it was more than enough for the both of us! Definitely will be back when we're in Dallas!

Thai curry has always been one of my favorite types so I was super excited to try jungle curry at Malai. They had many different types of Thai and Vietnamese dishes from noodles to soups and whole fried fish. On weekends they even have Asian style brunch dishes! The shrimp jungle curry (kaeng pa) was different because it is prepared without coconut milk. It definitely brought out the flavor of the curry and was pretty good but I personally prefer the creaminess of curry with milk in it. The flavor was pretty spicy and the veggies were good nonetheless! The pad kee mow had a nice smokiness to it and the noodles still had a nice chewiness to it. I also enjoyed the assortment of veggies and it had lots of tender beef in it as well. I requested 3/5 spice which was around 75% spicy for me. The shrimp lemongrass soup had a tangy, sour flavor to it and was spicier than expected. If you like Tom yum style soups, you will enjoy it. It came with some rice noodles in it as well. They had us try some rice wrapped in a leaf - the rice was slightly hard but the sauce on the side was very good! The peach ginger iced green tea is good if you like a more mild flavored drink and Thai tea is always good to pair with spicy food! They had lots of seating indoors and outdoors --the patio was great for a mild evening out. Service was excellent and the server was super nice. It's also located in a nice area with lots of boutiques and restaurants to walk around and sightsee.

Drunken Noodles, Chicken Pad Thai The drunken Noodles were phenomenal as always, but the chicken pad thai kinda fell flat unfortunately. Still a great meal!!
