We have been coming to Mae for several years. To be honest, the quality of the food is really good! However, for some reason, the portions of several dishes we tried recently ended up being very small. Specifically, I ordered their singaporean noodles special with pork and shrimp. It came with 2 small pieces of pork and 2 shrimps. It was ridiculous. Same with my wife's dish. We left Mae hungry after dinner. Will not be returning unless the portion sizes and quality are both worth it. This is not what you expect for a thai restaurant which is on the expensive side ($16 a dish).

Best Thai food I’ve ever had! My husband and I went to the Mae’s for dinner for our babymoon over the weekend. We were so impressed with the husband wife team of owners and their attention to detail from the over the top service to the obvious care they put into selecting the ingredients to their dishes.I had the GRASS FED beef, drunken noodles and my husband had the 12 HOUR BRAISED SHORT RIB Khao Soi. Both were amazing.We highly recommend Mae’s and will definitely be back!

Food very tasty and service is fabulous.We ordered the drunken noodles with beef. They source grass fed beef from New Zealand and you can tell the difference in quality in the first bite.We also ordered the pad krapow Gai, a ground chicken dish with bell peppers and onions that’s in a sweet and spicy sauce.Both lunch entrees came with a side; we chose the chicken Tom yum soup and the fried chive dough pancakes. Both were amazing.Everything we ordered was amazing.The ambiance of the restaurant is great and we are excited to come back and try the dinner menu.Would definitely recommend Mae Asian Eatery to everyone!

Some of the best and thoughtfully made Asian food I’ve ever had. Mae is a gem and have never gone wrong with any of the dishes I’ve ordered from here. Esp the Khao Suey and Nasi Goreng are to die for!

I judge all Thai restaurants based on their pad Thai... now I'm no expert, but Mae's pad Thai is the most different and delicious I've ever had. It's much more savory than what you'd expect, and mildly spicy at baseline! Also i picked it up at least 15-20min late and it was still warm enough for me to enjoy it. Will definitely return again!Update: I ordered the pad thai for takeout again, but this time i picked tofu... it was lacking flavor. I think the crispy chicken sauce was the hidden special flavor in my review above!

Always great food and friendly staff. Lunch special portion is a little big, but so good you finish it all anyways

An unassuming gem, Mae Asian Eatery is our new go-to for Thai food in Central. You'll be greeted by the owners with smiles on their faces and they'll care for you like you're eating at their own home.

Very delicious!! The crispy pork and short ribs were to die for! Will go again ?

Food is goodKua kling gai is so spicy but I like it Neva Nam Tok( Waterfall) is good, new to me; sweet and sour beef salad ?. Must tryChicken wings is ok ?The owner is nice ?Customer service is good ?

Pretty surprised it was getting such good reviews. Went with a few friends who wanted to try it and the food was in general very mediocre. Service was good, if not slightly overbearing. The Pad Thai was very bland and dry, and for some reason the peanuts were off to the side and the green onion we not chopped up. Friends thought it was pretty mediocre as well although my friend’s green curry was actually pretty good.
