    pad thai wih vegetables
    Michele R.

    Kiin (say keen) in Thai language means eat. Kiin Kiin is a welcoming phrase, roughly come and eat. One feels that welcome in this tiny place from the moment one steps inside. We enjoyed every moment of our lunch visit for gracious greeting and good service and every bite of the four dishes we ordered to share. Pride of ownership shines in every way. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time to do that before it becomes better known when I imagine that like Nahm Thai and Burmese (arguably the best in the Treasure Valley) that started out slowly and now is always full, this will be the same here. HOURS NOTE: They are closed on Wednesdays. On other days, they open at 11a and serve lunch until 3p then close until 5p when they reopen for dinner. MENU & FOOD: There is a lunch menu and while I typically want to order from dinner menus even at lunch time given lunch menus don't always contain the dishes I want to eat (as example here that would have included Khao Soi that is not on the lunch line up), I didn't ask if I could order dinner menu dishes given they are relatively newly opened and still wayfinding and I didn't want to complicate matters. The menu is multipage and laminated, suggesting things will not change often, and there are items found in most Thai restaurants as well as Northern Thai specials not found everywhere. Using the lunch menu we tried Spicy Eggplant w/pork ($13), Pad Thai w/vegetables ($13), Garden Rolls ($11) and Kanom Jeeb, small steamed Thai dumplings ($11) for total bill BTT of $48.00. Prices are a few dollars higher on the dinner menu for the same items and I assume that means portions might be larger too but we found the lunch portions more than ample, even to share. There are items on the dinner menu not listed at lunch. This is a Thai dining experience for people who appreciate quality over quantity. Everything was expertly prepared and beautifully plated. The spice level on the eggplant which comes medium, was perfect and even the white rice was delicious. We look forward to more visits to eat our way through the menu. INTERIOR: When we walked in the door we could both smell and hear the sound of food hitting a hot wok or pan and that was part of the sense of welcome as well as the greeting by the nice woman who would be our server. Everything is sparkling clean and soft colors are on the walls. There was a nice mix of current pop music on the sound system set at a level that supported conversation and didn't compete with it. SEATING: There are five or six 2-top tables lined up along one wall, a bench at back and chairs in front, and a pair of 4 tops tucked in a corner by the window. Also 3 or 4 seats at a high counter for a total of maybe 24 in all. Part of the reason we found our lunch time visit enjoyable was that there were only six people inside and we had "elbow room" for seating. Also we appreciated that they left ample room behind the tables to be able to walk into and about the space. I realize that as it is discovered it will become very popular and I imagine seating will be harder to come by and we'll choose take out. LOCATION: Meridian's has many newer and poorly planned strip malls with tiny spaces and awkward parking lots. This is one of them. They are next door to the National Guard recruiter and a couple of doors down from a Mexican place that took over the old Biscuits & Hogs space. PARKING: There is a parking lot, but in this pick up trucks and SUV kind of community, the spaces seem pretty tightly spaced. ACCESSIBILITY: Level in from the narrow walkway and all on one floor. There is one 4 top that is useable by someone in a wheelchair, I tested this out myself, but I couldn't tell from looking at the 2 tops whether the cross bars on the bases would get in the way. There are two marked ADA parking spaces in the lot but for the lot size there should be three. One of them is van accessible but the access aisle seems perhaps too small for a ramp if you're using a van. (Meridian is a mess for ADA parking errors in lots even in these new strip malls and that is on the owner of the parking lot, not the restaurant owners.)

    Cashew Nut Delight,Pineapple Fried Rice and Crispy Spring Roll! And yes Yummy as always, our new favorite place!

    My friends and I were in the mood for some Thai food so I thought I'd give this newly open Thai restaurant a try. Definitely did not regret! We ordered Chicken Satay, Papaya Salad, Tom Kha Kai, Pad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, Duck Curry and Crying Tiger. The food and service is amazing, our server was all smiles, nice and very attentive. We would definitely come back and try other dishes

    Spring rolls with mint and two sauces!
    J G.

    The food is beautifully presented with generous portions. We loved the Spring Rolls and the Tofu Bombs. Also we enjoyed the eggplant dish. The restaurant is on the small side and there are no booths with padded seats. But the food quality is very hard to beat!!!!!

    Yellow Curry with chicken. Delicious!!!
    Lisa M.

    Same as previous posts. All delicious! Happy they're open on Sundays. Great service!!

    Dinner menu specials and vegan.

    A new restaurant that quickly became one of our favorite Thai places in the valley! Authentic foods, great menu selection, vegan options, clearly marked gluten-free options, value lunch menu, fair prices, appropriate portions, friendly and attentive service, cozy environment, and quick access to freeway. Will definitely return. Recommend the yellow chicken curry and pad Thai (both gluten-friendly also)!

    Chicken Kra Pow

    First time here. Will definitely be back. Nice staff, and amazing dishes. Spice level 1-5.

    Sticky rice and mango dessert!

    Best Thai food in Idaho so far. I got thr crispy duck and it was amazing. The food is fresh, the service is amazing and the vibe is chill. The location is small with limited seating but it's worth the wait.

    Tom Sab stew beef!

    The food was delicious, and the staff provided great service too! We also ordered crab fried rice, but I forgot to take a photo because my husband was so excited about the food. It was really, really tasty -- my absolute favorite! I'm Thai, and I highly recommend this restaurant!

Talk about a mystery! My wife and I finally swung by for a kid-free Saturday date night, and honestly, we've been missing out. The Vibe & A Happy Surprise The atmosphere is so welcoming with plenty of seating, but take my advice: get there early! By 6:30 PM, the place was packed. As a wine lover, I was hit with a total "welcome shock." Usually, Thai spots stick to a basic beer list, but Sa-Wad-Dee has a fantastic wall of wine! Seeing a solid selection of bottles and glasses made me feel right at home. I grabbed a bottle of one of my favorite reds at a very reasonable price--definitely my kind of dinner. The Main Event The service was top-tier, super attentive, friendly, and just genuinely nice people. And the food? Not a single miss. * Drunken Noodles: Full of authentic, bold flavor. * Shrimp Curry: Absolutely fantastic. Final Thoughts If you're looking for excellent Thai in Meridian, don't hesitate. And if you love a good glass of red with your curry, this is officially your new favorite spot. We'll definitely be back (and won't wait another eight years this time!).

I didn't really care for the tofu they used. But I came in today with an open mind. It was a pretty chill afternoon when I got there so I was sat quickly. I waited for my friend to show up so I just hung out and looked over the menu. For lunch I decided to order the Tom Yum soup. It was colder today so something hot would be nice. My friend ordered a couple things for lunch. I remember he did order the crying tiger ( I believe that that is what it was called). My soup came out in a beautifully decorated bowl. It was sitting on top of a burner but the burner wasn't lit which confused me. It would have been nice if the burner would have been lit to keep the soup hot. The soup was flavorful but really sweet. I didn't taste much sour or heat to the soup. You get a hearty amount of mushrooms, chicken and broth. Overall it was a decent soup. After a while I focused on just eating the stuff in the soup and not finishing the broth. You can handle so much of the sweetness. Service was good. I did get a taste of my friend's marinated steak, it was really good. But for the cost of the steak, you really don't get much. I have tried this place twice now and I wish I could say that I love it. The food is decent but there are so many Thai joints in the valley that I just like a little better. I'm happy I got to try it twice but I'll just stick to my regular joints that I frequent.

    CLOSED as of July 30, 2025…read more A couple originally from Portland (I think I have the city right) opened their kitchen offering take out only (delivery in limited area) Cantonese food that was pretty good for what it was. They operated out of one of the 17 ghost kitchens in what was the former CRAVE! Delivery kitchens in maybe 2024. (Honestly, the original owner of this original ghost complex added the naming emphasis but the original line up and the one that followed was a terrible disaster.) Now the owner of the ghost complex is apparently going to sell it. My understanding from the Wei people is they are closing now, they plan to travel (including China) for a while. Hopefully they'll come back and be able to open a bricks and mortar place. PS - Mai Thai that was also operating a take out operative from this same ghost complex after the kitchen fire and closure of their restaurant in downtown Boise announced earlier this month that they were leaving this ghost kitchen complex on July 27 and reopening in a Boise ghost complex. They didn't mention that the Meridian complex was being sold.

    I was anxious to try Wei's because the reviews. I ordered three items: General's chicken, Kung pao…read morechicken, and chicken chow mein. The generals chicken was soggy and perhaps it'd be better not to mix the sauce with the chicken, the other two dishes left something to be desired as far as I was concerned because the chicken pieces were too large like two slices and made vegetables were also large chunks. Overall flavor was acceptable. I guess the presentation was a biggest problem.
