Mae Phim Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Marysville

There crispy garlic chicken is pretty good, not a fan of anything else though. I have been there a few times before, and while their food isn't my most favorite, it was ok.. good, but not great. I never faced any issues, until my last time going there. After a long day, I was starving, tired, and just wanted to go home and go to bed really but decided to stop here first and get some dinner. I ordered my food ahead of time and got it to-go, that way it would be ready and I could (quickly) go home and eat, well so I thought...... My food was supposed to be ready for pickup at 5:45, however, I didn't end up actually getting it until 6:57, and didnt get home until 7:03. I waited there for over an hour when my order should of been ready for pickup. The workers not only ignored me when I came in, but the whole time I was inside waiting. I began to question if I turned invisible or what...No one said a word to me unless I got up and asked them something. I would ask "about how long until its ready?" every 15 minutes or so and every time they (they meaning a different worker each time) would tell me "only 5 more minutes..." nothing more, nothing less. Not even an apology for the delay/long wait or explanation or anything. They were rude to me when I asked and made it seem like I was inconveniencing them.. After the 3rd "5 more minutes", I started to lose my patience. I told them they have said that 3 times now and what should have been 15 minutes has now been 45 minutes yet they keep telling me that.. I would understand If it was busy at the time, but it wasn't.... the only people there basically were the employees. They are well staffed, several workers there standing around talking to one another. During my wait, 2 other customers came to get food the whole time I was there. They arrived after I did, ordered food, and still somehow left with food before I did? Starving and frustrated, after a whole hour of waiting and being lied to continuously about how much longer, I left... once I made it through the parking lot, I get a call saying my food is ready and to come get it... I did go back and get it because I figured, well, I've waited this long so I might as well.. and to no surprise, when I got home and ate my food, it was cold and had to be reheated in the microwave. (My house is not even 4 minutes away, 1.2 miles to be exact!) The crispy chicken was not so crispy by that...

Hands down best Thai food in the region!!! I'd give it a hundred stars if I could. I had the Calamari appetizer ... the Calamari is the round kind from the mantle of the squid and is deep fried with a crispy crunchy breading and served with a tangy sweet sauce in a separate dish for dipping or you can use the spoon to drip the sauce on the pile of calamari. The mantle is a soft and muscular part of the squid and is easy to chew. Plenty to eat in this dish. For my main entree I had the Pad Kee Mao with added tofu with a browning char on the outside and a soft inside.... delicious, and with added flank beef slices cooked medium, soft, easy to bite into with a slight pull, and is easy to chew ... not tough at all. I could taste the individual flavors of all the veges. The dish does not come with the typical drenching sauce ... an added pleasurable difference. And this is a large dish and I had no problem eating all of it... slowly, enjoying every chop sticks selection I chose! I had water that was refilled often as if the waitress wasn't really there - now that's good service ... there before you are about to ask! And I had a Japanese type of plum wine that had a little bite to it and with a bit of a sweet, wet balance with the flavor. Don't let the menu choices overwhelm you. Feast your eyes on what speaks to you and order. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere of the place is intriguingly filled with cultural information pages, Thai art and these really big fish hanging from the ceiling beam above ... stuffed yes, but I imagined what the experience would have been to have caught them fishing. It is cozy, comfortable, of good relaxing energy throughout your time there with warm lighting easy on the eyes. No bloating feeling after, no gotta use the bathroom either, no feeling of being stuffed. They really know how to prepare and cook meals there with fresh and healthy ingredients in the right amounts that you can tell the difference in quality....crafted with outstanding talent. I will be returning for sure to enjoy more of their...

UPDATE: We gave it another try, its OK. I might try it to try a different plate. I ordered a 2 star and a 3 star, they were both like 1 star, super sweet, and again a ketchup taste. No lime included. Wasnt a huge fan. Left half of it to reheat, reheated honestly tastes a bit better, maybe because its drier.5.24.2020 I really depend on honest i Ordered chk pad thai and the shrimp fresh rolls, my first impression was that the portion and presentations were not up to par with their prices, 24$ for that alone. Their menu said the rolls came in 4, so i thought it was worth the $8+ but no, its two rolls cut in half, the peanut sauce was good, their rolls not too much and their pad thai tasted more of ketchup (it even looked redish color than brown) than a regular pad thai flavor, and $12 plus your choice of meat cost (2-4$), yikes. Overall, I had been wanting to try it since i moved here, and it wasnt the worst thing in the world, it was just plain OK and i made sure to eat my 24$ worth of food on an entree and appetizer. Im hesistant to give it another try. I usually give second chances, but because of the price i might not. If i do, ill update review and...
