The casual spot, which has about a dozen tables and counter seating, now boasts an extensive menu of wok-fired dishes like pad Thai; regional appetizers like Isaan sausage;"
"Noodles are both affordable and akin to the dishes you'd be served in Thailand. The boat noodles that made Mae Malai famous ($8.95 or more, depending on size) - pick between pork or beef, and myriad noodle shapes. Customize each bowl with the accompanying condiment caddy that features chile vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, and dried chile powder. For a spicier and tangier option, try the tom yum noodle soup, loaded"
Mae Malai began as a street stand on Hollywood Boulevard and expanded into an award-winning restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide. The compact space offers about a dozen tables and counter seating and serves an extensive menu of wok-fired dishes, regional appetizers, and chile-flecked noodle soups. Signature boat noodles are affordable, customizable by protein and noodle shape, and accompanied by a condiment caddy with chile vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, and dried chile powder. The tom yum noodle soup features crispy pork belly, peanuts, chicharrones, pork meatballs, and a fried wonton. Kanom tuay, a steamed pandan and salty coconut milk custard, completes meals.
