Mali Thai Cuisine - Tukwila

I often come to eat lunch at Mali TC but came here for an early dinner today w hubby. If you come for lunch, I would like to recommend the lunch menu. There are various combinations in one dish, so you can enjoy it. We ordered Gra Tiem (Garlic) w Tofu and Crispy Basil Chicken for our dinner this time. Gra Tiem: Sauteed garlic sauce w veggies and tofu, added 1 rice. Easy to eat and healthy choice. The Crispy Basil Chicken is voluminous and has plenty of crispy basil, giving it an appetizing taste. I ate it with rice because it had a strong flavor but really like it. The atmosphere and customer base of the restaurant are also good. I will come again.

This place is good. It’s clean and nicely made inside with Thai traditional decor. Looks like they cleaned seats with some cleaning detergent after every passage. Food was ok, but not excellent. I have ordered Pad Mao with 2 star middle hot, but wasn’t spicy at all. Plus overall taste wasn’t good to me.

We ordered beef pad see ew (4 stars) w/ extra eggs, chicken pad Thai (4 stars) w/ extra eggs, plus Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea. We also ordered jasmine and brown rice, but those didn't come out. We had to go to the front to ask for our rice as they were slightly short of staff. They did apologize and brought our rice immediately. The food is definitely consistent and flavorful. Although it seemed like we didn't get the extra eggs in the pad see ew. The drinks were actually pretty good and creamy.

This place is a hit or miss. Had my phad see eww and it was bland. Thai food has always been my go to cuisine but maybe not just at this location. Service was decent at least but i came to get my cravings fulfilled but didn't get here.

What you expect. A good range of dishes. Brown rice available. Prawn basil dish was well flavoured, sweet, I wish modern Thai turned the sugar down from trad. Iced water. Not licensed. Nice ambience. We enjoyed it.
