Maggie Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Garden City

Maggie Thai kitchen has been open for a while and today I finally got the opportunity to go. I have my usual Thai places but you won't know if you're missing out on something if you don't try it.

Walking into this place, I noticed how cute and green everything is! The decor, the venue and all the plants added such a fun vibe to this space. I loved the mirrors on the wall. The plush green decor in the front entrance are charming pieces to look at when you walk in. I love how bright it is as well! A lot of thought was put into decorating this space. Everything is so cute!

My server greeted me and sat me pretty quickly. I knew what I wanted so as soon as I got my drink I ordered my dinner. Tonight I got the pad see ew with fried tofu. My go to noodle dish when I order Thai food.

My noodles came out hot! It was beautiful with all the gai lan, carrots and tofu. The gai lan (Chinese brocolli) was vibrant in color and crunchy. The carrots were cut to look like flowers. I love that detail. The regular brocolli was slightly bitter but still edible. The flavor of the pad see ew was good! It did favor on the saltier side. And unfortunately I didn't like the tofu. I have been spoiled with other Thai places that have amazing fried tofu. I like tofu that's fried golden on the outside but soft in the inside. The tofu they served tonight was really dense and not really fried. I didn't like the dense texture of the tofu so I ended up picking out all the tofu. I appreciate that they gave me generous amount of the tofu. My dish would have been complete if I would have liked the tofu.

I'm happy I got to try this local joint out. Service was great, food was prepared fresh and venue is comfortable. I'm kinda bummed that the pad see ew wasn't a winner for me but I do look forward to coming back and trying other items...

Maggie Thai is every bit deserving of 5 stars. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was clear that we were going to have a nice and relaxing family meal. The aesthetics were very inviting, bright and so fresh. The friendly host welcomed us and we were seated right away. Making a reservation made this seamless and all the more relaxing. We ordered Panang Salmon Curry, Pad Se Ew with pork and Chicken Pad Thai. Everything was exploding with flavor and truly took us to the southern Asia borders. The Pad Thai was especially juicy and dynamic. My new favorite dish is the Salmon Panang Curry. The salmon was glistening, perfectly pink and not over cooked. I usually love a Tom Kha and Red Curry. The Panang is similar, a sweeter perfect creamy nutty combination with red curry vibes. Chef Auntra brought us her papaya salad, recommending it to side the Pad Thai, which was over the top delicious and the perfect tangy sweet element to our meal. Just getting to meet her was so special to our experience. Other patrons nearby seemed excited to see the beautiful person that cooked their food too. She is quite talented and has so much heart in her cooking. We recommend getting the 2 star spice level if you are experienced in eating Thai cuisine- it's a good starting point being one step above mild but not quite medium. Portion size was spot on as well. The servers and wait staff all worked collectively together which is why I recommend dining here in person. We were well cared for and I never had to ask for water refills. We ended our lunch with their coconut ice cream atop black rice pudding dessert. It was perfect for the 3 of us to share and the best I'd had. I have already recommended Maggie Thai to our nearby family and I can't wait to return. This IS the best Thai restaurant you will find in the...

My best friend and I are truckers, so while we are on the road we like to Google search and find random new places to eat … where we can also fit our big rig!! With a quick search and a craving for noodles, we stumbled across this wonderful gem, and was super grateful for the experience!! The atmosphere, and hospitality were 10s clear across the board!! The owners were kind and chatted us up like they knew us for years while we sat at the bar … yes, there is beer and alcohol too!! We found out Maggie is actually their daughter who can often be found there doing her homework!! There was cool jazz playing and the highlight of the whole experience was the fantastic, authentic food!! We tried the Spring Rolls, Shrimp, and Pad Thai, which was just scratching the surface of the huge menu, which even offered vegan options!! The portions were big, the wait to eat was perfect timing, it was cooked to order and hot, I was full and even blessed with leftovers … oh, the Thai Tea was super’yummy!! This place opened in October (soft open was September) and I pray it will be a major staple to the Boise area for many years to come!! We promised to aim our truck toward the front door every chance we get, and I truly hope that is often and soon!! 10/10...
