    I could not believe how dead it was considering how wonderful the food and service was. It was Sunday night and there was not another customer in the restaurant. Will definitely go there again.

    Excellent, tasty Thai food in a clean, spacious, attractive setting. The staff are accommodating and friendly. I had the House Special Curry (with shrimp & scallops). It was delicious but mild, so I added some hot sauce to kick it up. My spouse had the Khao Pad Poo (Crabmeat Fried Rice). It is a solid choice with good crab flavor in every bite. Our dinner companion had the Larb Duck Salad: ground duck meat and other yummy things on a bed of lettuce. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes! Recommended.

    Maekha Thai has great food (scallion pancakes and wings are awesome!), great abience, and a proud owner to match. Chef Lou was friendly, inviting and had a great sense of humor. He truly loves what he does and making his customers happy. On the contrary, the waitress and hostess were a bit too serious and not as personable. Other than that, the food was good, the experience was great and I will definitely be back.
