text: I am a bit picky about Thai Maybe that is why I am so hard on Malees It is not traditional Thai Which is not necessarily bad if you do not know the difference or just do not care nnThe food here is decent The atmosphere is nicer than most Thai places However for the price the quality of the food is a bit lacking and inconsistent For example I will use my favorite Malees dishthe seafood curry I have ordered it times and xs it was great xs the seafood was very over cooked and dry At Malees prices that is not koshernnHowever one thing I have to give them credit for is serviceit is excellent The manager is very professional courteous and does an awesome job taking care of any mistake from the kitchennnif you want Thai in an atmosphere that is more upscale than traditional Thai restaurants try Malees if you do not care andor are a cheapskate like me andor desire more traditional Thai try Thai Basil in Tempe
