Mekkala Thai Cuisine - Chico

This restaurant is fantastic! It is family owned and the son/host Alex was very welcoming and assisted us with our order. I had the eggplant and crispy tofu dish. The eggplant had an amazing texture, with a crispy and seared exterior and a silky tender interior. The mild sauce was extremely flavorful. The crispy tofu was light and spongy, we couldn't figure out what they did to make it so perfect. The homemade golden sweet and sour sauce was a great addition. This meal also came with a green salad and oolong tea, which were not shown in the picture. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon meal. Thank you for having us!

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and I must say, they have a very elegant table setting and the place is tidy, including the restroom. I thoroughly enjoyed the food we ordered, as the portion size was generous - perfect for two people, but could easily serve four. The staff were incredibly attentive, always refilling our drinks without us having to ask. Despite their small team of 5 or 6, including the cooks and servers, they all exuded energy and positivity. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.

The food at this restaurant is incredible. They offer six different levels of heat, so you can choose the right amount of spice for your dish. The service is excellent and very helpful. I highly recommend the Pad Thai Drama and the deep fried bananas for dessert. Every bite, from appetizers to desserts, was delicious. The salad and cucumber salsa were exceptional. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The wait time is manageable. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Chico with nothing negative to say about it.

Alex was amazing! It was super busy but we still got our food quickly and were constantly getting checked on. Highly recommend :

Nice restaurant! Family owned, and son/host Alex was very friendly and helpful in our order. I have the eggplant and crispy tofu. The eggplants were phenomenal texture, crispy and meerred outside and silky delicate inside. Mild Level Sauce is so tasteful. Crispy Tofu is light and sponge, we are not sure what magic they use, but it was perfect. Homemade golden sweet sour sauce couples wonderful. Not shown: green salad and oolong tea. That was a great afternoon meal, thanks for us.
