    I'm giving them a 5 stars review rating because this is the true Chiang Mai flavour that I've been looking for a long time! Back to my three times visit I really enjoyed my days in that historical town in the Northern Thailand. Although I still have to say Zap2 is my favorite at all times, Mali Thai wins my heart with it's authentic Chiang Mai taste. I definitely will go back again and again and again! I ordered Beef Noodles Soup in Thai spicy, yummy 😋😋😋

    I have been here for times. I like those curry dishes and stir fried veggies with siu yuk 😋 However, the only dish I’ll not order again is the deep fried spring rolls and fish cakes. Stuffing of the spring rolls are purely veggies- I do like veggies but it’s just not the tasty one, not much taste actually. Fish cakes, hmm, it’s from the fridge. I thought it would be like those I had before that’s made from fresh fish fillets, it’s not.

    TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP - A must have dish here. Cooked to perfection, delicious textured noodles, generous amount of toppings and the soup had a nice tang to it. The Kao Soi is a metro voted dish, it was okay but there are better in other Thai places in the cbd. The staff was very friendly, served us with a smile and a wholesome laugh. I will definitely be back for the Tom yum Noodle soup!

    Really enjoyed the shrimp chips and yellow curry ! The pad Thai was also good, not drenched in sauce like so other places. The money bags were good but just a bit too salty. Would come back

    The good was okay. Not a wow though. The curry was not as rich as I had elsewhere. The pad Thai was lack of chive.

    Had the pineapple fried rice, it was very good. Great combination of sweetness in rice. Staff were great. Takeaway & Dine-in are available in an open area with limited space(you will feel the seasonal weather elements since it’s an open dining area). Meals moderately priced and is usually the average for CBD Locations but with good portions for 1 individual.

    The place to be for real delicious authentic Thai meal. We have lunch here at least 2 to 3 times week — any never get enough of it. The hostess and staff are really friendly and cordial. Besides that, there are heaps of seats for patrons. The price is affordable too Food are serve really fast and hot! Maki Thai is situated right in the middle of Aucklabd CBD. It is on Darby Street off Queen Street. We have no hesitation to recommend all to have great dining experience here. I assure you that you will keep on coming back for Mali Thai’s cooking!

    Craving some Thai and this place ticks all the right boxes for simple authentic Thai. Limited seating but ok on a weekday lunch hour.

    My husband and I visited Mali Thai twice within a 3 day stay in Auckland. Food was fresh, delicious, and well portioned. We also enjoyed the seating arrangement (tables located inside, but whole front was open to the outside). We had the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice and the Red Curry with Tofu both times, both were too good not to have again.

    Wonderful experience! Was a bit out of it after clubbing, but the lady at the counter was really patient with me. Complimented my hair and let me stay a bit after closing as I was taking time with my food. Dish itself was wonderful, I wish I could remember the name of the dish but i’m not exactly sober right now. Delicious fish cake and perfect blend of delicious noodles and beetroot. Very much recommend

    Finally had the chance to try Mali Thai, after reading so much good reviews about it and passing by this restaurant countless times.. had lunch here one Sunday afternoon and the staff was composed of one really friendly lady who cooks real good food 🤩 We ordered a plate of pad thai, chicken satay, and pork ribs and everything was super yummy. Would have wanted a spicier version of the pad thai, but they had chilli crisps which spiced up our meals a bit more. Good sized serving too; we took home the rest of the pad thai and chicken satay - had these for dinner so the ~$45 meal was worth it 👍 Highly recommended 😊

    I had the Pad Thai and my girlfriend had the Tom Yum. Both were the best we've had since Thailand. Can't recommend this place enough if you love Chiang Mai style.

    The food is OK, could be spicier. Standard price. Not halal, but vegetarian options available. They don’t provide free water.

  • 5/5 Irene C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved our dinner here. The staff was so friendly and hard working. We had the fish cakes, satay, tom yum noodle soup, pineapple fried rice and taro balls dessert. Everything was delicious and so cheap. Definitely recommend this place!

    Tried the Tom ka ghai soup on a rainy winter afternoon. Satisfied the soup craving that came out with boiled rice. Soup seemed rushed and not as flavorful as I would expect though.

  • 5/5 Tracey N. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow amazing .Got the green vegetable curry at medium heat .Small red birds eye chillies finely sliced gave the curry just what I was looking for .Portion size was right on .Curry sauce liquidy but full of impact and quality .Lovely staff .Only negative is the rice was in a polystyrene container .A cardboard box would be a better option for this .

👍👍 Gem of a cafe tucked just off queen street. The code was excellent. Try the matcha flavour. Lots of vegan food, clearly marked. I tried the vegan bagels today and they are sensational. Flavour packed and super duper fresh. Portion size is good for a small meal and price is very fair for the quality...
