The Mea Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Plymouth

Even with few options for Thai food on the south shore, The Mea stands tall as the best quality Thai food every time. This is not a fusion restaurant trying to serve as many types of Asian cuisine as possible. They specialize in one thing and do it well. It’s got a unique menu with some classic Thai dishes, as well as some less common offerings that are worth trying.

Even the most common dishes like pad Thai or pad see ewe are exceptionally higher quality than any of the other Thai restaurants in town. Their pad Thai in particular does a wonderful job of balancing the flavors of sweet, salty, and acidic. I like to get mine just a little spicy. My other favorites from them include panang curry, pad kra pao, pad kee mao, moo ping, and tom kha. These dishes are all prepared consistently and well executed. Even with multiple visits, there are menu items I find myself wanting to try after seeing other people order them. There are several options for noodle dishes, including the coveted boat noodles which you don’t see too often at Thai restaurants on the east coast. If it’s in season, always get the mango sticky rice for the perfect dessert. I caution anyone from ordering anything at a spice level of 5, it’s intense and not for the faint of heart. I love spicy food but I don’t dare go beyond 2-3.

I appreciate the excellent service from the owners who are almost always in front of house helping customers. They are so friendly, great at making recommendations, and are always working hard to take care of the folks coming in. I’m always impressed that even when it’s busy that they’re still pleasant and hard working. After trying several other local Thai restaurants, this one stands out far beyond the others as the...

This restaurant previously got 5 stars from me but tonight was a disaster. I ordered dinner at 5:30pm from DoorDash. The food was supposed to be here by 6:30pm. I’m taking care of a newborn and super hungry so by 7pm I contacted the DoorDash driver and he said that the guy at the front was profiling him and refusing to give him the food. I called the restaurant and the guy on the phone was SO RUDE. Completely disrespectful and just told me to cancel my order. He didn’t care about wasting 30 minutes of the drivers time. There were other people getting their orders but not him. I asked how much longer the food would take (it’s one dish and one app). The guy said he had no idea, I asked if I could speak to someone else and he said “no” I calmly asked how will I know when I can get my food and he HUNG UP ON ME. So crazy! I’ve never written a bad review for a restaurant but I’ll be telling everyone I know about this. Racial profiling and hanging up on a customer looking for their dinner. Worst...

Will recommend Will return Was in the area visiting a friend I haven’t seen in 20 years knowing we would be going out for lunch knowing that I wanted to go to a Thai restaurant Found this place on yelp, decided it had some decent reviews and so I went with it I’m very satisfied and happy that we did. There was no lines no waiting a medium amount of seating probably roughly around 25 people comfortably. It was very quiet in there. It looked to be family owned, we were greeted given plenty of time to have conversation before we placed our order very friendly it was very clean in the restaurant There is street parking and there is parking out behind the restaurant mall area as well that you can use again we went on the off-season The food came hot. It was very tasteful tasted fresh. The rice was not overcooked. It wasn’t too dry each and every one of us enjoyed our meal. The portions were perfect. Our end price came to $60 before tax before tip for three of us with one beverage...
