Melody Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Menifee

Let me start by saying that I really want this place to survive because Menifee needs a good Thai food restaurant. My husband and I went in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It was not busy but there was a decent lunch crowd. Restaurant is super cute with a little bar area to hang out. Our server greeted us right away and we were seated near a window.

Upon ordering our drinks, we realized that there were no fountain drinks, only canned soda and various teas. Our server told us that there were no refills on soda, tea, or water but she thinks they do refills on beer. Okay.... We ask her to clarify this so she retreats to the kitchen then comes back and says they don't offer free refills at all. Either they're expecting patrons to pay for refills or this server needs to be trained on refill protocol!

We both ordered drunken noodles. We were NOT asked how spicy we would like our dish. This should be a standard question regarding certain Thai dishes. I ordered a medium, my husband ordered his high. It didn't matter anyway because both dishes had zero heat to them. My husband told me that his beef had no flavor. My dish was pretty tasty and the little egg roll and cucumber salad was yummy. I would have preferred some spice to mine though.

Our server didn't check on us after she dropped the food off but she did drop the check off in the middle of our meal without asking if she could get us anything else (dessert, another drink...). We were not even remotely done with our meal when the check was delivered. She also forgot about us because I had to walk to the front to pay! Our server was very nice but that doesn't make up for a lack of training to answer basic questions and provide a pleasant dining experience.

Due to my food being tasty and for my love for Thai food, I may order takeout but I'm apprehensive about dining in again. Also, get some paper menus for your senior citizens. Most don't know what...

In the rural South or rural Midwest, Melody Thai Cuisine would be considered "good Thai food". However, in Southern California, Melody Thai Cuisine does not hold up very well. Full disclosure; I've eaten Thai food at more than 50 restaurants along the West Coast, and Northeast. I ordered the green curry chicken, which was watery and had a somewhat weird taste to it. My wife ordered glass noodles with tofu and vegetables. They left out the tofu, and the vegetables were overcooked. We also ordered fresh rolls, which were not that great. I had to wait for about 20 minutes for my to-go food, after waiting nearly 25 minutes before I left my house to go there. That being said, the employees were very nice and seemed to be working very hard. Except for two employees who were sitting at the bar drinking, and talking to each other about random topics. I'm not sure if they were off their shift or what, but it was kind of odd. The ambience is somewhat cluttered, throughout the bar area and into the restaurant as well. Furthermore, the LED lighting is too bright and it creates a less than relaxing dining experience. In closing, if you're from the rural Midwest/South, you're over 70 years old, and you've never really had much in the way of Thai food, Melody Thai Cuisine is for you! Otherwise,...

My husband and I had dined at Melody Thai about when they had opened. Our experience was horrendous. I would give zero stars if I could. I ordered beef fried rice and my husband ordered a noodle dish. We waited over an hour for our food. When my fired rice was brought out, it didn’t have any beef in it whatsoever. I tried to politely tell one of the servers. However, she didn’t speak a word of English. I’m not trying to be rude, but this isn’t fair fair to a customer at all. A person that works in either a hotel or restaurant should be able to effectively communicate. Then my husband or myself flagged down the server that originally took our order. Somehow my dish came out in 5 minutes. Well, this was because my beef was undercooked. My fried rice was completely inedible, not solely because of the beef, but because of the rice itself. The noodle dish that my husband ordered was not very good either. The negative reviews of this restaurant are accurate. There were other issues that occurred at this restaurant as well. My husband and I will never go back to...
