Food, quality, and taste are all superb! Service is great as far as consistency with the food. I've never been inside so I can't speak to the ambiance. However, this is my second time having it and it's absolutely delicious! I ordered the Thai tea, garlic green beans, phad kee mao, and the crispy garlic chicken with white rice and today I added the chicken pot stickers! All delish! Check it out you won't be disappointed P.s. don't mind the presentation I ate some prior to taking the photo! read more

Food has wonderful flavor, chicken was crispy, pad thai was cooked well, pot stickers were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Absolutely wonderful. Super friendly service and was quiet for the evening - probably because everyone is watching football at the moment. Area has a nice moody vibe with the lights and it is very clean. read more

So I had it delivered via Uber eats and they did a fine job on delivery I got the Tom Kha soup the flavor was really good but there was an odd amount of onions in there. I did order it with chicken and the chicken was good. Would have been nice to get a small or half order of soup. I also got a pad thai with fried tofu the tofu is excellent, the pad thai noodles did not transport very well they stuck together but their flavor was good. I did ask for them to both the medium spicy and I would not call them medium spicy they were a little light on the spice. read more

My wife and I found this strip mall Thai restaurant on Yelp when looking in the area for Thai food. The place was pretty empty around 5 pm which made us a bit nervous but it was a Monday night and we thought maybe it's mainly a lunch place. The interior is decorated nicely and the staff was friendly and fairly attentive. My wife and I shared orders of the Panang Curry, "Showing Rama", "Phad Kee Mao" (misspellings were on the receipt) and hot tea with a side of white rice. We order these dishes fairly regularly at most Thai restaurants we frequent and this was our first time at Malakor. We have had better Thai food elsewhere. Both the Panang Curry sauce and the Peanut sauce were watery. Not a fan. The Pad Kee Mao was very normal but not special. With each dish we ordered chicken and normal spice levels for us. We really love Thai food and were a bit let down by the food quality here. Nothing was terrible, it was just average. read more

Malakor has become my boyfriend's and my date night spot. Since writing my previous review here a year ago, we've probably been here at least 25 times because the food is just too addicting! It is the most authentic Thai food I've had since visiting Thailand, and the dishes are consistently cooked to perfection. 80% of the time, we get PAD SEE EW, YELLOW CURRY, and/or PAD RAMA, but we've also branched out and have tried their GOLDEN NOODLE, PAD KHEE MAO, PUMPKIN CURRY, GARLIC GREEN BEANS, PADH PRIKH KING, and PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE. All dishes we've tried are excellent, but their pad see ew is by far, the BEST pad see ew in the Seattle area. As people who like spice and some heat, we usually order 3 or 4 star spiciness, but 5 stars for the Rama since the peanut sauce tends to make the spice milder. Service is always wonderful. The waiter and waitress are always very friendly and attentive. The interior is clean and modern. We never have trouble getting a seat. We also enjoy listening to the Bossanova covers of pop songs that they play in the background. Overall: 6/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more

Wow. This place might be one of the best Thai Restaurants I've been to. I'm sorry to my OG Thai favorite in California. The ambience is nice here with really cool chairs and music that is a major vibe. The music is modern pop or rap but in a smooth jazz style, I loved it. They had a tv that we were watching as well. Their tables are nicely spaced apart from each other. The food was delicious. We ordered the Zesty Wings, Tom Kha, and Noodles. The Zesty Wings were fried perfectly deliciously and the sauce was a very delightful sour zest. I wish the sauce was a bit thicker so it would stay on the wings. It comes with pickled veggies. The Tom Kha is a huge portion! It was also a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. It's one of my favorite soups and this place knows how to make it slap. We got the noodles three star and with crispy tofu. Their tofu is crisped perfectly. I could sit there and just eat that tofu and be happy. Their noodles were also on the sweeter side but very tasty. I'm weak to spicy so I couldn't eat too much . We finished our meal with mango sticky rice and it came out so warm and delicious. One of my favorite desserts. TLDR: Come for some bomb Thai food, I'll definitely be back to try more menu items soon. Please note this has been in my draft from over 4 years ago when I visited. read more

I had a delightful early lunch here. The food was plated gorgeously tasted amazing. I got yellow curry, Thai iced tea, and mango sticky rice. The Thai tea was very sweet yet rich; exactly how I like it. The curry was scrumptious. I've never had bell peppers in my yellow curry before and there were little crispy bits (of maybe onion?) on top. The mango sticky rice was ripe and warm and sweet. An utter treat. The atmosphere here is great and there's lots of big windows to let in light. Even though it's one room, the differing levels really splits up the space. The music was calming and chill and not too loud. The waitress and waiter also came around so regularly that I didn't feel like I had to flag someone down just to get my check. I will definitely be a repeating customer. read more

Right off of 167 not sure how we never seen this place before when it's not even hidden. The restaurant itself is very spacious with ton of seating options. We came on a very slow night - practically got the whole place to ourselves so service was amazing! We ordered Pad see ew - very flavorful and we asked for 4 stars and it definitely has a kick to it Panang curry - a bit too salty for me I asked for 4 stars and they sure didn't skip on the spice. I love it but definitely salty for my liking Sampler platter - great to get if you want to try a bit of their appetizers Overall - the food is great, the price is fair, excellent customer service and it's right off the hwy - easy to get to read more

Five stars! So hear me out. A friend and I came in and we were the only guests. Hm.... Not sure how that is possible with its Yelp ratings, but here we are. So I ordered the pineapple curry (I know, I know, not a real Thai dish) and asked to add cashews to it. Very low heat. Now, curry is like catnip to me, and holy smokes, I was not disappointed. It was Deeeee-licious! I was grateful that the portion was big enough to split up so I could re-live the amazing curry bliss the next day as well. Oh man, I tell you, it may not be the best Thai restaurant in the area (maybe it is, I don't know....) but my experience was exceptional! The waitress was excellent, and it was a very large, clean restaurant. I was there on a Monday, maybe that's why it was so empty, but ya'll are missing out. Get down to Malakor and get you some beautiful Thai deliciousness! read more

after all the reviews, I was really excited to finally try this place! Needless to say, I was disappointed on pretty much every level. Service was pretty slow for lunchtime, even though it wasn't that busy The environment is pretty cool, it's like they renovated an old restaurant and put it their own their own flare on it, which I totally appreciate! but where it fell, the shortest was their quality of food. I just thought it was below average. A non-repeat place for me read more

Visited here on a Monday night for dinner. The place was slow when I first arrived. Greeted by a man who seemed like the owner of the place. I ordered their papaya salad with thai salty black shell crab. It tasted pretty authentic, however the amount of crab is too little. I only had like 3 tiny crab legs in the salad.. Pad woon sen noodle was good! It had that almost charred flavor that comes from the wok that you can usually get from most asian dishes. I got a heat level 3 so it was decent for me as well read more

Food: authentically good; enough said from noodles to curry dishes Service: friendly Ambience: spacious and clean Advice: when eating authentic dishes, order your curry with different proteins (chicken, beef, seafood, etc) and ALWAYS order jasmine rice on the side. SHARE! Order the dishes and everybody in your party share the dishes with rice. Whether noodles or rice or salad, put them in middle of table and share as opposed to eat your individual dishes. read more

It was white meat which i like better. Good portion too read more

This review was based on my lunch takeout experience today which was horrible. I got the spicy garlic with pad thai. I did not drop the box but the sauce was leaking out of the box and the pad thai was swimming in it. The noodles were very soggy. The spicy garlic portion was small compared to when I ordered this a year ago but the price has gone up. I cannot recommend the lunch specials here anymore. I salvaged what I could but the rest is going in the garbage. read more

After a long shop at nearby IKEA we needed lunch. Based on the prior yelpers suggestions, our our mutual love of Thai food we opted to give Malakor a try. The setting is cute, your typical Thai type decor, mostly clean but a little bit dirty. Not in a a bad way, if you Thai often you know what I mean. I had the tofu pad Thai (my default at any new Thai place). Spicy level 2, because I don't like to punish my face. I'm hind sight I could have gone to a 3 or 4 based on their level of spice. The noodles were great, tofu perfectly fried, just the right amount of peanuts and bean sprouts and a fresh lime wedge on the side. It was a great lunch portion, more than filling but so fresh and tasty you wanted to eat it all. The servers were ok, nothing to write home about. They kept out waters full and generally attended to everyone in the place. The only real bad thing was the neighbors thumping their loud music, no fault of this joint for having bad neighbors though. read more

The place looks very inconspicuous from the outside but once you get to the door, the place is very inviting. There's a lot of seating available. To the right of the dining area, there's a circular fire pit. The food has been spectacular during each visit. My must recent visit, we ordered the broccoli with pork belly, mixed veggies with chicken, trout salad, and chicken pad woon sen (off the menu). The veggies totally hit the spot. The trout salad was one of my favorite dishes this time. The crispy trout had great texture and the green apple with mixed veggie salad on top tasted like papaya salad! I loved the pad woon sen (stir fried glass noodle) because it's a home style dish that brings great memories to me. My previous visit was fantastic as well. We had the avocado curry, basil chicken, garlic trout, eggplant with chicken, and pork belly. I recommend all the dishes! If you can, order their lunch specials- great value for the price! But if you are coming for dinner, gather your friends and come hungry because you will want to try everything! read more

Malakor Thai is my GO TO Thai food in the Renton or Kent area! Everything on their menu is delicious and full of flavor along with huge portions so you have leftovers to take home (if that's your thing). I've had multiple dishes from here and they never cease to amaze me. They have a great large indoor dining area for friends, parties, or even if you want a business lunch. If I were to recommend any dishes it would have to be Pad Thai (basic I know but it's seriously so good), yellow curry, the platter (it's a good price), or the garlic delight. You won't be disappointed with any of them. read more

Restaurant was clean and very cool, i got the lunch special with curry and pad Thai. The bathroom was very clean! The pad Thai was cooked well, a bit sweet but I think that's how it's supposed to be. The curry was delicious I wish I had more! The servers were nice and attentive. Nothing really stood out amazing wise, but there was also nothing really worthy of critique. Overall what's to be expected at a good thai restaurant. Prices were market comparable. I saw someone left their tub of curry in the parking lot and it broke my heart for them lol read more

The service was great, and the location is easily accessible to 167 but the food was just ok. I ordered based on other people's reviews, and only half of what we ordered got eaten (two entrees, rice and two appetizers between 4 people). We didn't even take the leftovers home because no one wanted to eat it. I might try again on my own because it's a nice place and like I said, the service was good. read more

We came in on Christmas Day straight from the airport and was craving Thai food. This establishment came up on our list on our way to the hotel and didn't disappoint at all. Even on a rainy day (because PNW) the chef was cooking up some marvelous meals behind the kitchen counter in his "sando" (Hane's sleeveless A-shirt) because its like 100 degrees in there with all the stove burners going on and tossing of the massive woks. The service was friendly and accommodating for the holidays and it just felt nice to be served on Christmas Day. Food was delicous and we finished it ALL. Usually we have leftovers. I recommend this place for special events or just a day/night with your loved ones. read more

Good Thai food is hit or miss most of the time. To me, it's an art form and the chef is the artist. Ma. La. Kor. Is really good, well prepared, and well portioned Thai. We went on Memorial Day so it was not busy. We saw a few tables that were occupied by patrons of Asian decent. A good sign if you're looking for authentic cuisine. Our food was very fresh and served hot without a long wait. Service was excellent to boot. Decor was nice without being loud. Recommended? You bet. In a town with lots of choices, if you're thinking Thai, go here. read more
