MaiAsianbox Thai Food — Restaurant in Deer Park

So, not as amazing as some of these reviews would have you believe. It's not bad, to be sure. But I've had way better. I got chicken pad Thai and the pork banh mi to try the "staples" of any Thai or Vietnamese restaurant. The pad Thai was good, but pretty sub-par compared to other Thai restaurants I've visited. The only vegetation was some shredded cabbage and carrot on the side, no peanuts or bean sprouts to be found. The noodles were unusual, not bad but not the typical rice noodle you usually get in a pad thai. Also, not much tamarind flavor. There is fried tofu though, which I appreciate. The banh mi was another unusual case too. Great flavor, plenty of meat and fillings, but the bread was not right at all. It was like a soft sub roll and not a traditional crispy, toasted baguette. Honestly if it was on a toasted baguette it would be an excellent banh mi, and a good price to boot. All told, I was pretty underwhelmed by the experience. I'm willing to try dining there again and try one of their curries and maybe the pad kee mao, but they could definitely be doing better. Also worth noting is their AC is busted or something right now, but that's not their fault so I don't count it against them. Order take-out until they...

I just noticed this place tucked away in the strip across from the college. It's food is delicious y'all! I mean yummy yummy yummy! I can't believe this is a new find for me. I've been missing out and if you haven't been there you've been missing out. Food is so good. I haven't had a bad bite yet I love the stir fry! Love the spring rolls! Good fresh food that's just perfect It's the best lunch. You feel so much better after enjoying this fresh prepared meal then hitting the fast food deep fried quick bite. This place makes a great meal with a great price and I guarantee you will thank me for getting you in that door and taking that first bite They have some hot and spicy dishes for you adventure seekers too. I'm not that bold but did try a bite of the curry and I could not handle it but I can't handle spice like I know you Texas folks love. You a spicy lover just go it's crazy spicy curry and you will love it. For the not too spicy crew there's so many great feel good taste great options. Also, they make the teas everyone's in to right now. Haven't grab one but won't be too long before I do. I'll report back!

Ok everyone this place is a must. Super good super yummy and you will...

Today was my first visit to MaiAsianBox which I found scrolling on google looking for something for dinner. Saw great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the chicken pad Thai, chicken satay, Thai milk tea, and not pictured-mango sticky rice.

To start, the Thai milk tea was exactly how I prefer it; nice and sweet. The chicken satay was fresh and the peanut sauce and cucumbers added depths of flavor. With the pad Thai I made a mistake by asking for a 3 out of a 0-5 heat scale. I embarrassedly could not handle it and was not able to eat it. My waiter went to see about getting an additional starch to numb the heat, instead the chef made me a brand new one that wasn't spicy. I felt very bad about it but I am impressed and commend the chef for doing that for me; it really meant a lot.

The mango sticky rice tasted great and was a great conclusion to my experience at MaiAsianBox. Customer service was friendly, engaging, and excellent, and I enjoyed talking to the employees before I left. I'm only in town for tonight but if I lived in the area I would come here weekly. Based off my experience, I would highly recommend MaiAsianBox to the local community and travelers...
