Downtown Ashland has a lot of great restaurants, but Mam's definitely stands out among them. This cute little 'mom and pop' eatery delivers solid, homemade Thai food. You order at the counter where the owner himself took our order. He is a really nice guy and fun to talk to. He opened this place during the pandemic and thankfully seems to be doing good business. For food, we started with the papaya salad. It tasted super fresh, crunchy, and had that sweet and salty dressing you expect on papaya salad. We had their Fresh Spring rolls, which was served with a light and creamy peanut sauce. Sometimes fresh rolls can get really chewy with the rice paper, but these were obviously freshly made and chewed perfectly. Lastly, we ordered the pad Thai with tofu. I loved this dish and highly recommend it! Go check out Mam's if you're in Ashland. For the freshness and quality it can't be beat! read more

We finally found a Thai restaurant that serves our favorite Thai dishes! Service was friendly and efficient. The quaint setting was comfortable. We will make this our favorite Thai restaurant! Thank you!! read more

Excellent flavors and quality ingredients. Plump and fresh spring rolls; tender chicken; well prepared eggplant; tasty yellow curry and basil sauces (caveat, we like it milder so can't judge how well they do spicy). As good as what we get in the San Francisco area. read more

Great Thai food in downtown Ashland. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) with chicken. The noodles arrived with a quickness and the portion was large. read more

Great fresh food! My favorites are the fresh summer rolls, beef salad, and pad basil eggplant. You can taste the high quality ingredients and effort that goes into all the dishes. It definitely keeps me going back for more ! read more

The food was very flavorless. I'm not even a big fan of heavily spiced foods... but this was boring and bland and lacked a lot for me. I would not get Thai food here again. read more

This was such an unexpectedly good Thai restaurant to find in a small town. Everything was so fresh and made so well. The fried shrimp was light as it was fried in wonton wrappers instead of breading-absolutely delicious! The chicken satay was cooked perfectly and so moist and the peanut sauce was so good-in fact all the sauces were delicious! Service was wonderful. Such a pleasure to find such a little gem of a restaurant while visiting this charming town! read more

It's a walk up counter with friendly staff waiting to greet you. They don't have a wide variety of sauces but their spicy sauce was delicious. We ordered a fried rice and some appetizers and wolfed them down. Honestly, the fried tofu was done SO perfectly. I'm used to it being a bit dry or rubbery but this melted in my mouth! Be prepared to walk in and grab a menu and your own glass of water and utensils, a waiter will bring you any specialty drinks. Small and quaint with table/chair setup and music videos playing on the TVs. read more

Very good Thai food and great service. We went for takeout. Prices are reasonable. Portions on the small side but still ample.

I got the pad Thai today and was surprised that it was not a savory dish like usual, but tastes like someone skipped all the usual ingredients and poured some maple syrup on it instead. I enjoy sweet things, but this was a bit much, especially when I was expecting Pad Thai. I'm pretty disappointed, as I was really hungry and now I think I've lost my appetite. read more

This is a super casual Thai restaurant so don't expect a lavish decor. Very simple layout. RED CURRY WITH PUMPKIN Very tasty and they have a choice of white rice or mixed rice (brown and red rice). The curry was a little watered down but was tasty enough to coat the rice. read more

I had a couple of hours for lunch so I went to check out the farmer's market, which was small and I didn't see anything, so walking back, I stopped in here to pick up lunch. Cute little place and Thai food is one of my comfort foods when I'm in San Diego, and the reviews were good. I ordered my favorites. The fresh spring rolls with shrimp were perfect! Loved the peanut sauce! I've started eating panang curry with beef instead of chicken and the one here is really good! And of course, I had to have my pad thai with chicken...sooooo good! The portions are great and I was able to eat the rest for dinner later that day....it was that good! I think the owner helped me, and he was very friendly and I got a smile from I think the chef. The vibe is really good and they have a number of tables in their small space. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent Thai restaurant in Ashland. Food was superb - but I had to deduct a star as they didn't have two of the items we wanted to order, and also didn't bother to pick up the phone so I had to visit in person to place the order for takeout. Standout dishes - everything we ordered! - Satay Chicken ($10): with the creamiest peanut sauce you can imagine - Crispy Spring Rolls ($8): chili sauce was sticky sweet and spicy at the same time - Pad Thai with chicken ($13): cooked perfectly - Pad See Ewe with chicken ($13): also cooked perfectly - Mango Sticky Rice ($7): kids loved this! We will be back! read more

Quick service resulting in VERY tasty food!!! Golden shrimp a must!!! Very nice staff!

Above and beyond service for allergies. There is something about the owner literally reading the labels on the sauces and talking to his chefs about food allergies. Food was delicious. Service was top shelf. read more

fire food and fire customer service, always an 11/10 when i go here, they have my favorite pad thai in town!

My mom and I came here on a whim since we were craving Thai food -- service did not disappoint! I will say it was fairly busy around 4:30pm, but we decided to dine in because we parked pretty far away. It was loud so I would recommend take out, but the noise wasn't unbearable! Pad Thai was great, no complaints. The yellow curry was also great, but I will say it's just a little soupy / not as spicy as I thought it would be. They have a spicy sauce to use at their tables though! I would still definitely order it again. We waited about 10-15 mins for our food, but I do think it would've been a sliiightly longer wait for takeout just from the sheer amount of calls they received. I think I'll be back at some point! (( Also it was my first time here )) read more

We were very Happy with Mam's Thai! For "to go" especially, this is our new favorite Thai food in town. We ate in the limited seating area. Staff was very friendly. The Mam's Special Pineapple Fried Rice was incredibly tasty; slightly sweet but with a good umami base flavor. We also enjoyed fried shrimp, pumpkin curry, and pad Thai, which were all delicious and devoured rapidly. It is nice to have some more affordable options downtown (like this place), which is a good change of pace from the other more common and more formal table service dining options. Can't wait to go back! read more

Just had lunch at this little spot and wanted to warn others that the food was very mediocre. You never know about a place until you try it....well I would never again. Started with a Thai Tea and the Tom Kha Gai soup. The flavor profile was OK but the broth was really thin, not enough coconut milk was added and there were just a few mushrooms and tomato pieces floating in the soup. The chicken was rubbery as well. Next was an order of Pad Thai. Again the dish was served with very few ingredients. The bean sprouts and carrots were placed on the side of the noodles as were the peanuts. This is traditionally how the dish is presented but honestly I was shocked at the tiny portions of these ingredients. They were barely noticeable! I ordered pork as the protein and regretted it immediately. The texture and taste was off, so I tried to make the most of it by pushing all the meat to the side of the plate. I suspect this spot might be having a hard go of it as even the side sauces, which are normally thick at every Thai place I have ever eaten at were thin and runny. On a positive note the two ladies running the place very sweet. Oh, and did I mention my lunch was $32.00! Yeah, kind of expected more. read more

As a local, I really do want to support our local restaurants. But, my first dining experience at Happy Thai Express was truly disappointing. My chicken Pad Thai was downright awful. It was over-sauced, and the sauce was extremely thick - as if thickened by corn starch. Hardly any chicken in it, and there was even tofu mixed in. I ordered it medium spicy, and it was almost too spicy to eat. Had I not been in a rush, I would have had them remake it. Yuan Yuan's (Chinese restaurant near Shop N Kart) Pad Thai is so much better than Happy Thai Express's dish. I upped my rating from 1 to 2 stars, as the food took less than 10 minutes to prepare and the order taker was very nice. read more

Authentic Thai food in the middle of a Huite paradise. If you're an inner city chap who craves authentic meals, this is the place for you.

Best Thai in town, I go at least once a week when I'm in the area. Fast and delicious

First, an ode to the forever shuttered House of Thai. They served us some amazing food over many years. We will miss them. But losing them caused us cast our net wider, and in so doing we've happily found Mam's Happy Thai Express. The Pad Thai was amazingly flavorful and the portion was perfectly sized. I didn't leave a crumb or a drop of sauce on the plate, and found myself completely sated when we finished. My dinner partner had the Pad See Ew. She was just as impressed as I was. So, a door closes and a window opens. We're looking forward to many more delicious meals! read more

Whoever said the food is mediocre is plain wrong. The food is fresh and delicious. Sauces aren't thickened with cornstarch as they might be in some types of Chinese food so that particular criticism smacks of ignorance. As does the rest of her review, read more

Pad Seasonal Vegetables with Chicken was my take out order and it was ready within minutes. I had it with rice, which was harder than I'd like, but the chicken and veggies themselves were delicious. read more

Ate dinner here with the family while stopping in Ashland on the way to Portland. We ordered green curry, panang curry, basil stir fry, and sticky rice with pineapple (mangos were not available). Overall, pleasant experience, main course dishes were tasty and flavorful. Dessert was decent but sticky rice was somewhat firm and undercooked. The main reason for downgrading a star was that the portions were small for the price. The curries are priced at around $15 per bowl but the portion size is about what I would expect to pay $12 for in other comparable Thai restaurants and that was not well communicated by the staff when I asked the question about portion size before ordering. I would suggest increasing portion size or dropping the price a little, otherwise food was good quality and tasty. read more

So delicious! We ordered Thai fried rice and pad chicken cashew. My new favorite Thai place!

Loved it! Perfect place to stop after walking around Ashland. My daughter (6) especially enjoyed the chicken satay. read more

How can I explain how wonderful Mam's Happy Thai is? Well, the food is AMAZING. The service is friendly and warm. The place is soooo clean. It is our favorite eatery in Ashland. We eat there at least once a week. The prices are really reasonable. The main cook is Mam. She is assisted by her husband Peter and daughter and mother. It is really a family affair. I am gluten free and shrimp free. I do wish they had more gluten free fried goodness. They gladly accommodate recipes for me. We usually get the Drunken Noodles and the Cashew Chicken. All conversation subsides as every bite is delicious pleasure. You can tell the food is attended to with love and care. You can taste the integrity and intention. I trust their attention to detail. The atmosphere is friendly and super welcoming and clean. It is small, so sometimes we order then walk around downtown for 15 minutes while a table clears. It is so worth it. We LOVE Mam's Happy Thai. Yum yum yummmy food. Great people. Expect a five-star meal and experience at Mam's. read more

Excellent Thai food. Service is prompt and considerate.clean tables. Location is Main Street. I recommend read more

Had a great time here. The guy running the front was fantastic and the food was super yummy...the drunken noodles was our favorite. We had one of the salads, with peanut sauce, and it was really interesting. Will be back again when we are in Ashland! read more

Grateful to have a good Thai place local, Try it all! The curry or one of three (pad ke mao, pad Thai, pad seeyu) noodle dishes are my go-to and sometimes I branch into Thai bbq chicken and veggie spring rolls The host and staff are wonderful and the food is consistently delicious read more

Food is wonderful. The owners provide very caring genuine service as well. Some vegan options as well. I highly recommend.

We arrived in Ashland on our roadtrip just before 9pm and rushed in just before they were closing to do takeout. Despite it being so late, they were extremely polite and welcoming, even telling us we were welcome to eat our takeout food in their seating area. We ordered the chicken satay, crispy tofu, and pumpkin wild salmon curry. The food came out quickly, and everything was so thoughtfully packed and presented well despite being takeout. The food was really flavorful, well done, and was perfect comfort food after a long day on the road. We would definitely return here if we are swinging through Ashland again! read more
