    Food was outstanding. Great service too. I enjoyed every bite. I had chicken satay as an appetizer and everything was just so well done and on point. Very enjoyable dining experience.

    Thai Iced Tea

    I came here with my boyfriend since we wanted to try something different while in Fairhaven. I got the Pad Thai with Chicken, he got the Duck Curry and Thai Iced Tea, and we split the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Overall the dishes were delicious and you could tell the kitchen put work into making the food look good. I would definitely come again. The Pad Thai with Chicken was flavorful, the vegetables were cooked just right, there was no artificial orange coloring you sometimes see in pad thai, and it was topped with a cute little carrot flower. My only grievance was that it was a little oily and the noodles stuck together but it didn't take away from the overall meal. The Duck Curry was also really good! It was rich, creamy, and coconut-ty. My boyfriend was full even before we went here to eat, but the aroma was so enticing and flavors were so good that he ate almost his entire plate! The Thai Iced Tea was also really creamy, sweet, and delicious. The Mango Sticky Rice came with black sticky rice which isn't something I've seen before. The rice was the perfect consistency being soft and chewy and the mango was perfectly sliced on top of the dish.

    Very flavorful Thai food with fresh ingredients and herbs. Server very helpful explaining the many items on the menu. Food came quite quickly even though busy inside, outside and take out. Tables well spaced for conversation. Outside patio on busy street but very popular. Food decently spiced, no choice of heat offered.

    This place has really good food. In particular I'm a fan of the Panang (Chicken), which is a red curry. My girlfriend is a fan of their Khao Soi. I'm a thai food lover and taste thai restaurants often and this place is so far the best in Whatcom. There are other decent ones.

    Chicken avocado curry
    Masanori D.

    Welcome addition to the Bellingham food scene! There are several Thai restaurants in town, but Maikham is different. In fact, it's different from any of the Thai restaurants I've been to as I elaborate below. FOOD: We ordered the Chicken Avocado Curry (description from the menu "chicken or vegetarian green curry with avocado, herbs, and fresh basil") and the Chan Pad Pou ("crab fried noodles with tamarind sauce"). Unlike other Thai restaurants, they didn't ask us how spicy ("how many stars") we want our food to be. Both of the dishes were well seasons but were not overly garlicy or merely spicy with hot peppers. For example, in the chicken avocado curry, chicken was cooked with a bone in it. The bone and the vegetables make the curry delicate yet rich in flavor. It's more rich in umami, rather than spiciness. If you're used to spicy Thai food, you may feel underwhelmed or unsatisfied (just a heads up). Another difference was that the chicken avocado curry was not saucey. It was more like stir fry. SERVICE: Our waitress was friendly and very helpful. My friend and I only knew we would be ordering a couple of dishes to share but had no idea which dishes to order. Our waitress asked us a couple of simple questions, suggested two dishes, and explained why she recommended them. We were both glad that we followed her recommendations. OWNER: The owner is the chef. She's from Thailand. She came to our table to talk to us. She told us she used to work for the American Embassy in Thailand as a translator. People started calling her the "curry queen" because everyone like her curry. LOCATION: I had difficulty finding this restaurant. I used Waze and Yelp, but both failed. It's in a new building across the street (12th street) from Filling Station. CONCLUSION: I would like to come back to try other dishes. I do like spicy dishes, but it takes a lot of skills to use spices to create dimensions. Most Thai restaurants I have tried have failed in this regard. Maikham seems different in its approach to create dimensions. They seem to rely on combining different ingredients (like chicken and avocado) to achieve it. Once again, I would not be surprised if someone finds their food to be "tasteless." Both my friend and I enjoyed the delicate flavors they delivered. ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" to let me know.

    Absolutely the best Laotian /Thai restaurant in the area. From the time you step in the door, Leslie greets you with a smile and lots of menu ideas. The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. We love Leslie's positiveness thoughout the visit. We can't wait to come back for another delicious meal! Highly recommended!

    Phad kimaouw with beef (drunken noodles) and Thai ice coffee

    I enjoyed my lunch at Maikham today. The Phad Kimaow (drunken noodles) with beef was delicious. I also had the Thai ice coffee which was great, very strong with the perfect amount of sweetness. The owner is so friendly and will make the food to your taste. Everything is extremely fresh and presented beautifully. The restaurant is clean, beautiful and nicely decorated.

    DELICIOUS ‼ Please go here if you are looking for fresh ,unique flavors. Not like anything else in town. The owners are SO friendly , smart & know what they are doing. Try it once for lunch or dinner and your hooked. Our new Go-to neighborhood Thai spot. The pad Thai isn't too sweet or too many peanuts it's just right. I would ask for a few more limes. Drunken noodles with spicy basil and chicken ! Spring rolls with veggies!! SUPPORT THIS RESTAURANT ‼ SO GREAT‼ yum yum yum

    I'm a huge fan of Thai food and I think I just found the best Thai that I have ever had. The owner, Usanee, is a very sweet woman who has been fascinated by cooking since she was a young child. There is a very interesting article about her life journey in Cascadia Daily. Her nickname here in Bellingham is Curry Queen. I live in Santa Barbara but I can tell you every and any visit to Bellingham, I will be eating at Usanee's restaurant. You gotta try this place!!!

    As usual, I'm late to the party. I've heard about Phnom Penh…read moreand its famous chicken wings ever since I moved to Vancouver, nine-ish years ago. My fellow Yelpers raved about this place when I first moved here, and my kid came here with her school pals 5-6 years ago and also raved about the wings. It's been on my list to come here forever - and last night, finally, I did. It did not disappoint. My kid warned me, there'll probably be a line up waiting to get in (they don't take reservations here. I checked), so we decided to go at an off-time and get an early dinner, around 5pm on Friday. We walked there and, miracle of miracle, there was no line and we got seated right away. (Granted, we got the last vacant table in the place, and when we left after our meal, there already was a line of people waiting to get in). Food-wise...wow. I am NOT one for adventurous eating, so there were dishes on the menu I couldn't comfortably order (I wish I could, but hey, I'm better now than I used to be!). Still, there was lots for me to choose from. And first and foremost, I HAD to try the famous chicken wings. And I can honestly say, they were the best I've ever had: SO SO crunchy and crispy on the outside, and hot and moist on the inside. OMG so so so good. I can't speak highly enough of these! My kid ordered the butter beef. It was tasty and soft ("like butta!"), and the marinade was lovely, but personally, I couldn't get over the...rawness and redness of the meat and juice (which looked like blood to me). For fellow non-adventurous eaters out there, this might not be for you, despite how flavorful it tasted. It was just hard for me to get over how it looked. (I know I'm in a minority here. This dish is one of their most popular and asked-for dishes). We had the garlic dry spare ribs. I love spareribs. These were delicious but a tad too salty and greasy. I brought most of them home and had them today for lunch. I gotta say, they were so much better for me today: less salty, and I blotted off the excess grease. Delicious! My kid ordered a "small" sweet and sour soup with prawns, and wow, it came in a huge black cauldren. I can't imagine ordering a large size. Anyhow, this soup was a stand-out soup - especially for my kid who said she had dreams about it all night (lol)! So complex in flavors - spicy, sweet, savory, chock full of prawns and sprouts and lotus shoots and pineapple chunks and and other delicious stuff.... For me, it was a wee tad too spicy, but wow, even I thought, this is a special soup. So delicious and warming. 10/10. Our servers were prompt and impressively able to efficiently tend to a full house of diners. They got it all down to a science here. One issue of note: my kid had to use the washroom at one point and she left for a very extended period of time. I actually thought at one point that something had happened to her or she was ill, she was gone so long (VERY unlike her). When she returned, she told me it was "quite a hike", around the back of the restaurant and up a flight of stairs, too. I only make note of this in case anyone has mobility issues, know that the bathroom will be difficult (or impossible) for you to access.

    I only hear great things about the wings here and being a lover of fried chicken I made it a point…read moreto stop here on my quick trip to Vancouver. We came around 4pm so there was no wait but by the time we left at like 5 there was already a line forming outside. We got the wings and veggie fried rice, and it took a bit of time for the food to come out but that didn't bother us. The portion for the fried rice was MASSIVE and could easily feed 3-4 people. It was good, nothing to standout but a very good classic fried rice. The wings came out after and were hot and crispy. It comes with a lemon pepper sauce on the side, which was super lemony - great if you like that but I wasn't too big a fan of it. The wings were juicy and fresh, though I will say I did expect a bit more flavor. There was only one piece at the bottom that had a generous coat of the seasoning which I thought was super tasty. Overall, good spot! I'm not sure I'd wait super long for it, but glad I got to try.

We had somehow neglected this place. But after seeing how vegan-friendly it was, we decided to give it a shot. I phoned in an order of 3 dishes and it was all ready 20 minutes later. We got: -Panang Curry, with tofu, made vegan, at max spiciness level. Rich, complex and well-balanced with soft tofu, red and green peppers, onion, basil and lime leafs with a decadent curry sauce. Amply spicy and hearty. Wonderful. 4.5/5 -Pad Kee Mao, with tofu, made vegan at 3 out of 4 spiciness level. Sadly, this was made with the thinner rice noodles that are usually used for Pad Thai -- this dish is supposed to have the wide noodles -- oh well. Otherwise, this was well-made, with plenty of veggies and deep fried tofu. Nicely spicy and flavoured. 4/5 -Black Pepper Veg... well, this is what I tried to order but it seemed more like a spicy, tangy and sweet mixed veggie dish with pineapple. When I arrived at the restaurant, "Sweet & Sour Veg" was on my bill; I told them I ordered the "Black Pepper Veg", and they told me not to worry, as they just didn't have the computer item for it. Well, turns out the my did mess it up. Definitely not what I wanted but I guess it was well-made - wouldn't recommend this one. 3/5 Each dish was roughly $15 plus tax, and the portions were quite large, leaving plenty for another meal. Good quality vegan Thai food in Vancouver's impoverished Thai scene. Recommended.
