Restaurant Mai Thai — Restaurant in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality

We moved in to the neighborhood last month and first eat-out was in this restaurant. Everything was perfect, good size of the dish, enough food, unlimited refilled of rice, tasty meal and fair price. So we decided to buy take-away from them yesterday, then the impression changes a bit.

We ordered duck from their menu, the dish is 147kr, a bit more than average considering that is the takeaway price and no discount comparing to eating in restaurant. Size of the dish in packed box is different from when it was put on the plate since we had same dish last time.

We are two people so we want extra rice which was charged for additional 22kr, probably the most expensive rice we had in Denmark.

In general it is ok Thai food restaurant. And we have been to better one in downtown Copenhagen considering...

Nice atmosphere with nice people working there. The food was overall much better than your average Thai shop in Denmark.

We liked the yellow curry with beef. Pad thai was nice but missing a bit of wok hei. Som tam was super but lacking a bit of lime, which can be fixed easily. But all in all it was great.

One thing that we found weird was the portion sizes and prices. You get a nice amount of rice with the curry but a tiny bit of curry to go with it. The som tam as a salad is huge in size and it is cost same as a main dish. However, Pad thai is large in portion with large shrimps inside.

And when it comes to spiciness, don’t order Thai spicy unless you know what you are doing. They take it...

Great little establishment with the nicest owner ever. He’s so talkative and friendly with a lot of knowledge of Thailand and it’s food. You can get actual Thai beers here which just made me so happy! The food is pretty good too. I know things aren’t super spicy here in Denmark, so that was a bit disappointing. However, he brought out some peppers and spices so I could jazz up my dish a little. I hope to be back before I leave and next time I come. Can’t wait to try more dishes.
