    Panang curry, steamed rice, rice cracker appetizer
    Hanna H.

    Hot food, quick service, our waitress was incredibly kind and shared in with us specifics of the menu, pointing out traditional thai meals and her favorites. My panang curry was very flavorful but the veggies mixed in were pretty bland. My cousin got the chicken pad thai which was great! Would like to try something else on the menu.

    My delicious C4. Yellow Curry
    Kevin K.

    Hungry, but not so desperate as to settle for anything--certainly you know what that feels like. My wife and I really needed a nourishing hot meal and one spot came to mind in a section of Chattanooga that I wasn't close to at the time. It meant a little extra drive when traffic might be an issue. We went anyway. We had to. We really needed a good meal. We were welcomed warmly when we arrived. We settled in to a lightly decorated, but colorful space. The meals arrived fairly soon after our order was placed. It was accurate with our particular dietary needs fully addressed. The best part was when the co-owner kept checking in with us for follow-up. She was wonderful to chat with and learn more about. We look forward to our next visit!

    Yellow curry

    Food was great and service too. I had basil stir fry chicken and my husband had the yellow curry. Heads up, the curries are intended for two people ($20). We didn't realize that and ended up with a ton of food. I ordered a coconut bubble tea which they didn't have on the menu, but she made one up and it was great. We came in for a late lunch on Monday so we got to chat with our waitress quite a bit. She's from northeast Thailand and very friendly. The place was very clean despite being a hole in the wall in a neighborhood I wasn't sure about (someone stuck their gum to our rental car while we were eating).

    Stop what you're doing and head to Mah Kin! My husband and I thought we'd try this for a lunch date and we are so glad we did. The restaurant truly embraces the kindness and friendliness of Thailand, so welcoming. Our server made a recommendation for the handmade dumplings and my husband joked that it could've been his whole meal (he LOVED them). We also got the basil rolls and the peanut sauce rivals Thai Esan's (previously our favorite Thai restaurant in Chattanooga). My husband got the Pad Thai and I had the Drunken Noodles both at medium and we were very happy with the spice levels. I had a nice little nose sweat going on (like I like) and my husband said his was a pleasant balance. The owner came to check in on us and she was delightful--she has a lot to be proud of with this restaurant. Thank you for becoming our new favorite Thai place in the area! We will definitely be back. Also, for those of you who are vegan, they do offer vegan options!

    Lacking flavor, taste, extremely bland w zero heat despite asking for Thai hot ! worst Thai I've ever had...

    The service was good. We were greeted upon entering the front door. GOD AWFUL food!!!! Sorry but this was the worst Thai I've ever had.... I should have known to turn around after seeing no customers in the restaurant! we sat at a table and within a few minutes I saw 4 small red ants on our table. we ordered 2 chicken pad thai. 1 mild and 1 Thai hot For me. I like heat!! My dish lacked flavor, taste, was extremely bland not spicy whatsoever! It was very thick, like paste!! If you think this is good Thai then you've never had good Thai!!!! I will not recommend this place!!!

    Visited Mah Kin today for the 1st time. Immediately greeted with a smile by both ladies. We ordered the Chor Thong (Thai dumplings), Drunken Noodles, and Pad Thai. My wife got the noodles mild, they had just a touch of heat. I got the Pad Thai hot and it was just enough to give me that perspiration below my eyes just like I like. All three dishes were exceptional. The dumplings were the star for sure. Our server was very attentive and made sure all of our questions were answered. We will definitely be returning soon.

    Masamam curry and papaya salad
    Tim V.

    Excellent new Thai restaurant. Only a couple of employees. Fresh, made to order food with top quality ingredients. Service can be a little slow, but worth th wait. I had the masamam curry chicken and a papaya salad. Both were exceptional. They have a quote on the wall about being invited into a Thai home and it lives up to that promise.

    Really friendly staff and delicious food!! Very affordable and the portion sizes are very generous!! The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely and it felt very relaxing. I absolutely love supporting local businesses over chain restaurants! We will definitely be coming back!

    Pad keep mow chicken and pad thai beef

    That was the driest, worst tasting thai food I've ever had. Maybe they are having an off day but some the noodles were still clumped together. There was barely any sauce and the meat was so dry and hard to eat. Ughhh. Never again. So not worth the money. Order: pad thai beef and pad kee mow chicken

    Pad Thai
    Jesse M.

    I definitely recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. The restaurant just recently opened it's doors. The food had all the right flavors I have come to enjoy in Thai cuisine. The staff was very friendly and pleasant! I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying some new.

    Despite all the rumors I hear about yellow deli, I have no intentions of discontinuing my visits…read morehere. Yellow deli is one of the best restaurants in Chattanooga in terms of tourist experience due to it being truly once of the first yellow delis. Although the staff might be a bit off putting at times, they are very kind and respectful of the customers that come in--all of them are very gentle and soft spoken. If you are in a rush this is not the place to go because their service time is respectfully slower than most. The interior of yellow deli is so beautiful, very much old cottage/pub like style--the whole place has intricate woodwork, warm/soft lighting, and giant murals on the wall. I am vegetarian, and get the veggie burger a majority of my visits, and it is TO DIE FOR in terms of flavor. I have been aching to get my hands on the recipe because it really is that good. On that note, it is difficult to eat at times because the patty comes apart, I would ask for a fork and I'm sure you will receive. Before I went vegetarian my go to was the deli rose and the saltiness of the deli meat with the sweetness of the sauce is unbelievable. The bread is house made and is undoubtedly fresh and delicious. There is not one time I have been that the quality of food they serve has slacked. I definitely recommend!

This is the third location I have been to! The location is different menu items than the ones I've been to in california. The sweet potato pound cake is probably the best thing I have ever eaten. I also had one of their lattes and it was a phenomenal mix. I highly recommend stopping and enjoying this little spot.

Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean and spacious the restaurant was. The outside was also very well-kept, which was a nice first impression. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and welcoming. I went back to my car to wait for my order, and when I returned inside, the young lady working was also very helpful. I let her know I had already placed my order, and everything was ready in about 10 minutes. I ordered the salted coffee and spring rolls. While the gentleman was making my coffee, I could hear him mixing all that goodness together, which definitely had me excited to try it! The coffee is made with condensed milk, which adds a nice sweetness. Now, for the drink rating--I'd give the salted coffee a solid 8/10. The coffee itself was good and had a nice, consistent flavor. My only issue was that the salt was a little too much for my personal taste. If you enjoy a stronger salty flavor, though, you may really like it! The spring rolls were also good, but unfortunately, I had to stop eating them once I realized they contained chicken. I didn't realize they had chicken when I ordered them. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would definitely return to try some of the other menu items the next time I'm in town or before I leave!
