Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Malee's Thai Bistro on Main offers a mixed dining experience. While some patrons rave about the "best Thai food in the valley" and commend the "flavorful and fresh" dishes, others note a decline in quality and service since a change in ownership. The location in Old Town Scottsdale remains a highlight.

    Food always great, only disappointed was they gave us NO time between apps and main. In fact still eating apps when they brought out dinner. Very poorly timed.

    Malee's is our go-to place, our favorite restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious! We especially love the Crispy Basil Chicken, Panang, Drunken Dragon noodles, and Jalapeno Fried Rice with Chinese sausage. The service is great and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable.

    Mediocre experience at best. This restaurant has been remodeled, and is plain and stark. There is no atmosphere. The food seems "cheapened". I have always ordered the Evil Jungle Princess. This version was watery, the Enoki Mushrooms were replaced by sliced mushrooms, the chicken had grissle in it and the shredded red cabbage was at least an inch thick on the bottom. I was my wife's birthday, and she was offered a complimentary dessert. She chose the Creme Brulee. The sugar on top was not carmelized, it was burned black. This used to be our favorite Thai restaurant, but I can no longer reccommend it.
