Menglak bistrot thai — Restaurant in Arrondissement of Nanterre

I found this restaurant through the app The Fork/La Fourchette. I really liked the decor of the place. They have paper umbrellas covering the ceiling, and the chairs & booths look like they are made out of upcycled items. They make ordering very easy, with letter and number combinations next to the names (ex. A3, P9, M4). The time it took for food to arrive to the table was spot on for us. Overall we spent an hour and a half here, which to me is perfect for a date night.

I am new to Thai food, but I loved everything! For our entrée we had 01 Assortiment Mèng Lak, which is meant for 2 people. It came with 4 different sauces: peanut (my favorite!), sweet chile, a very spicy red, and an almost clear one that is usually used for spring rolls (not sure on the name). For the main course I had P3 Kai Kra Tiem Pick Thai with A7 Khao Pad, which is garlic chicken & cantonese rice. I ended up mixing everything together, and the sauce with the rice was divine! Delicious! My husband had M1 Neua Kra Ta, which is a beef dish. He also ordered broccoli with it. He loved his meal even more than I did!

Overall we were very pleased with our experience, and will definitely be back...

Good food and big space, quite empty on a Friday night! We were 2 and ordered cocktails but they taste more like juice lol! I ordered Shrimp in basilica which was really nice, tasty and good portion. Not very happy with the service, lady who serviced seems unhappy the moment we sit down, unfriendly through the time. Took our starter away when there was still a piece inside! She didn’t even check with us! She also started to drag the chairs from patio back inside, really loud noise and left the front door open for a long time freezing ! I guess order out can be an option but definitely not going back for this...

Disappointed in the food. All of the dishes we had were without flavor. The soup had a tiny bit was not hot. I don’t know how it’s possible to cook this type of food without any flavor. As soon as it goes in the pan there should be at least some seasoned oil, pepper, flavor from the onions… The meat seemed decent quality just disappointing not to have the flavors. The ambience is ok and the...
