I've lived in LA for 5 years. I love Thai food. Mee Dee is one of my two favorite spots. I regularly drive 20ish minutes to hit this place. Personally, I'm obsessed with the Lamb Shank Massaman Curry and Pad Thai. The curry might be the best in the city. It was kind of funny -- I was already thinking that, and the father of the family next to my brother and me said the same thing to his wife. And the Pad Thai? Super thin, almost angel hair pasta-like noodles. SUPER. GOOD. I've never had anything from here I didn't think was exceptional. And this is definitely the only Thai spot I feel that way about. Only minor knock: I picked up my Pad Thai today through GrubHub and the interaction was a little odd. The owner, I assume, wasn't friendly, and my order wouldn't pull up on GrubHub, which is on me. He's probably used to delivery service drivers, but still, ask human beings "How are you doing?" before interrogating them. TLDR: the food is amazing. GO!!! read more

I wish it was better. The staff were really nice and accommodating, but the food just wasn't great. The Thai tea was beyond sweet and they couldn't adjust the sweetness. No adults in our group could handle the sweetness, but the two high schoolers in our group were fine with it. The Pad See Ew was probably the most disappointing dish. The noodles were too thick, and the flavor was strange. The people in my group did enjoy the Pad Thai though, so that's one thing that's safe to order here. And the midnight chicken is amazing!!!! That's probably the only thing I'd come back for. Also beware of the metered parking in front. It's a bus zone at certain times of the day, and you'll get a 300$ ticket in the mail if you park there at the wrong time. Yes, it happened to someone in our group. read more

Wow - hidden gem in the middle of LA. Strong recommend! We came here for a weekend dinner. Thankfully, restaurant has parking so didn't burn time circling for a spot. Ambiance is simple but energetic - outdoor seating shares a space with a bar, so there is a lot overflow energy and chatter in the best kind of way. The food. We ate a lot because everything was great. Fried chicken, tom yum fries, Thai tea, beef khao soi, spicy green beans, ice cream, mango sticky rice. Let me tell you every dish was a delight and excellent. We had a great night. Thank you Mee Dee. We'll be back! read more

The food here is so tasty and fresh! Every dish I tried was delicious: pad thai, green papaya salad, but my absolute favorite is the house special the Tom yum crispy rice. The servers are friendly, attentive and accommodating. Parking in the neighborhood is quite easy. read more

The other day I visited this café and wanted to share my experience. I ordered a soup, and unfortunately I don't remember its name, but it was honestly the most unique soup I've ever tried. It had a perfect balance -- slightly tangy, a little sweet, and just a hint of spice. It also had mushrooms and shrimp, which made it even more flavorful. Such an unusual combination, and something completely new for me. The atmosphere inside was very cozy, and the waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend visiting this place and trying that soup -- you'll be pleasantly surprised, I guarantee it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. read more

My daughter and I truly enjoyed their cooking. We ordered tom yum fries, lamb shank curry, pad-see ew, blue rice and mango sticky rice. Everything was so tasty and delicious. Server was friendly. Ample street parking. Restroom outside. BUT I was taken aback when our server handed the forks by the eating surface rather than the handles. I felt a pang of discomfort when I witnessed that. I had to ask for new set of forks. read more

Mee Dee Thai Kitchen - Shrimp pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Clean and modern indoor with cute serving plates. Their staff is polite but a bit forgetful. The drink and food took a while despite not many customers being there (around half hour wait). Came around noon on the weekend. Food was so-so in quality. If you have mild Thai craving and you aren't very picky, I think this spot could be up your alley. Thai tea is really too sweet - not up my alley. The Matcha Taro Milk was not good either. I got their mild TomYum and it was not worth it; the vegetables (such as the bell pepper) was chopped so large I wonder what is the point of having it in the dish and the protein was just lacking in flavor, the spice was just there to be spicy without much depth. The beef bowl was really disappointing; the beef tasted dry with lacking of flavor with a sprinkle of generic furikake and an egg that looks quite messy. We each only ate about 25% of the food and didn't take the rest to go. Unfortunately, it didn't fulfill either of our Thai food craving. One of the indoor seating had a lot of flies and we had to let the waiter know we'd like to sit elsewhere. Restroom? Not sure Seating? Indoor and Outdoor. A couple 2-seaters and a few 4-seater. Parking? Street Parking read more

I was craving Thai food after a long work week, so I got pickup at Mee Dee. Pickup was fast, and soon enough, I was ready to dig in. Most of the dishes were pretty good: I especially liked my Massaman lamb curry with blue rice: I'd never had lamb in Thai cuisine before, so this was a first! Very tender and generous portion of lamb shank, all in a creamy coconut curry. It was hearty and comforting! Other decent dishes included mango sticky rice (the mango was very ripe, sweet, and melted in my mouth), chicken satay (soft and juicy, although I would've liked a bit more charred flavor), and vegan curry puff (tender and flaky crust, but the lentil filling wasn't my cup of tea). My partner had pad see ew, and unfortunately, it was our least-favorite dish. It wasn't bad, per say, but it lacked any smoky flavor and had a strange taste to it that didn't taste like pad see ew at all. Wouldn't get this again. All in all, Mee Dee is a solid place for Thai food, and I'm glad I gave it a try! read more

My family and I created cheerful memories at Mee Dee Thai Kitchen (Los Angeles). The ingredients are fresh; the service is fast and friendly; and the dining area felt clean & well-maintained. The food's flavor is not the most remarkable, but its food is fresh, very satisfying, and plated beautifully. I arrived on a Saturday (around 9:20PM). We were immediately helped. Our waitress brought a bright smile. She eagerly assisted us with our orders. I ordered the Thai Ice Tea ($5.45), Pad Thai ($17.55), Tom Kha Soup ($28.55 - Mixed Seafood Hot Pot Large), and Crab Fried Rice ($27.45). The Thai Ice Tea took two minutes and 22 seconds. The Pad Thai took five minutes and 24 seconds. The Seafood Tom Kha took seven minutes and 45 seconds. And the Crab Fried Rice took nine minutes. All the food arrived very quickly!! Amazing speed!!! Regarding taste, the Thai Ice Tea tasted bitter, milky, and smooth; it was my least favorite. The Pad Thai had very moist noodles (almost mushy) and a potent oily flavor; the Pad Thai had a very simple, wet flavor. Perhaps the Pad Thai would have tasted better if I'd increased its spice level. Thankfully, the Pad Thai's shrimp arrived large, plump, and fresh The Seafood Tom Kha tasted very fresh and satisfying. I enjoyed its hot, soft fish; sweet, plump mushroom slices; and fresh, plump shrimps, mussels & scallops. Its broth also had a delightful light, bright tang flavor. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy its bitter and grainy squid. And the Crab Fried Rice was very satisfying. This Crab Fried Rice tasted moist with the pleasant aftertaste of fresh crab. This rice's egg came very soft, and its generous shredded crab added a lovely layered texture. If I had to nitpick, some portions of the rice came very salty. Thankfully, this saltiness didn't detract too much from this satisfying experience. Regarding ambiance, Mee Dee Thai Kitchen (Los Angeles) is comfortable. The location is very clean, the furniture is well-maintained, and its minimalistic decor had a lovely plant theme. The location had inside and outside seating; however, its bathroom is located outside. There are three flat screen tv's by its counter with english captioning. Also, I enjoyed its instrumental saxophone music in the background. If I had to nitpick, the location's ventilation could have been strengthened. The inside felt a little airy, but I also felt a lingering stuffiness. Overall, I associate freshness, speed, and good service with Mee Dee Thai Kitchen (Los Angeles). Its flavors can be worked upon; however, the portions are satisfying, large, and decorated beautifully. My family and I had a very pleasant time. 4.5 out of 5 read more

We came on a Saturday night before a movie and had a great time. The food is so good, and stand out against other Thai places in the area. We got the yellow curry and hung lay curry with blue rice. The hung lay curry is a unique item on the menu, I'd never had it before. It's more of a thick beef stew. Really good if you're not feeling traditional curry. Overall this is a great spot in Fairfax, near the amc. read more

I don't want anyone reading this to not dine here because of this review. It's not a bad Thai restaurant, it's just not the best Thai food I have had especially at this price point. They don't have Spicy Eggplant with Chicken here, my usual Thai dish. Instead I had the Pad Thai with Chicken and Shrimp ($21) and my friend had Pad Se Ew. Their preparation of the chicken and shrimp is excellent, but they don't give you a lot of it. Only 2 Shrimp for $25 with tax! Taste was okay--nothing outstanding. The presentation was excellent you can see in the photo. The Pad Se was okay too--nothing outstanding and lacking in vegetables. Atmosphere is fine and they have an outside dining area. Bathrooms are outside in the back down a long double doored hallway filled with supply boxes. (Some women may want an escort.) Parking is free at meters on the street after 8 or at paid meters anytime. While I would not come back here, you may like the food so give it try--everyone has a different taste in what they like... The service was polite and efficient. read more

Out of the hundreds of Thai restaurants around me, this one stood out because of their unique menu items. I'm glad I tried them because the dishes were DELICIOUS. My husband and I ordered through DoorDash and we got: Tom Yumg Wings - amazingly crunchy batter, perfectly seasoned and has a delicious hint of sourness Hung Lay Curry - have not come across this dish before and so glad we ordered it. Incredible flavors and perfectly cooked, tender pieces of pork - comes with the beautiful blue rice. Cry Baby Noodles - so good! Loved all of the different protein in it and have not ordered a Thai dish with XO sauce so was very intrigued. Ordered it medium because you never know how the spice levels are and next time we'll try spicy. Highly recommend the above dishes! I haven't tried these dishes from here yet, but you probably can't go wrong with the Curry Puff, Wagyu Larb, Angus KraPow, Beef Shank Khao Soi, and the Midnight Chicken. read more

Wow! What a gem on the busy street of La Brea. We ordered the crying tiger, pad see ew, and hung lay curry. Everything was flavorful. The service was very attentive. A great discovery was the Hung Lay Curry - curry with braised pork, cashew nuts and ginger, a specialty of Northern Thailand regions. It was very comforting yet slightly tangy and refreshing with the hint of tamarind (which I am not usually fan of but wow, this dish was really complete with it). The best Thai curry I've ever had! I forgot to take a pic, so I am attaching the menu pic. The dish was exactly how this pic looks like. They have unique items like Tom Yum fried rice, chicken etc. Lots more to try! read more

So, I don't eat a lot of Thai food, but I've eaten it in a bunch of places, and this place is really good. I started with a Curry Puff (chicken, caramelized onions and potatoes, hand-wrapped in a flaky puff pastry) which was super tasty. It also came out really hot, so give it a moment to cool off. Maybe think about how it being really hot means it's fresh. I also got a Thai Iced Coffee, which was super sweet, but then, it's supposed to be. If you're not into super sweet iced coffee, though, I suggest skipping this. Last, I got the Yellow Curry with chicken, which was also really good. The sauce was flavorful, and they used good chicken for it. I would've liked more chicken, but then I always want more chicken. Plus, this also has potatoes, onions, and carrots, and comes with blue rice, so it was a good meal. Oh, and I have no idea if the blue rice was good blue rice, I've never had blue rice before, but now I can't stop saying blue rice. Blue rice. As for the place itself, it was small and unassuming inside, nothing fancy, though they do have a nice outdoor courtyard. The staff were also nice. Finally, the parking. It's street parking, and if you go during the day, you can easily find spots on one of the cross streets as well as La Brea. All in all, this is my favorite nearby Thai place...for those occasions I want Thai food. read more

Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine, so my expectations are always high. This place definitely did not disappoint. Came here on a Friday night, and it was relatively empty. Parking is street parking, but there was plenty on the busy street in front. Ordered the yellow curry with tofu, krapow moo krob with fried egg, and khao soi with beef. AMAZING! Loved every single dish. The pork was extremely crispy, the yellow curry was flavorful, and the beef was tender. Would DEFINITELY come again. Service was also great! read more

(Tookout 05/16/24 TH @ 5:00pm): This Thai kitchen had me coming back for seconds! Thanks to an earlier Yelp Elite event that introduced me to Mee Dee Thai Kitchen, I decided to make another trip since I was working in the area. I loved Thai cuisine (spicier the better!) and would eat it every day if I could. My first visit left a favorable impression on me, so why not give them another shot and explore their menu further? Would "me" be delighted with other options from this Mid-City/Westside Thai kitchen!? PURCHASE Vegan Curry Puff ($5.75): Filled with mushrooms, caramelized onions and potatoes, all hand-wrapped in a flaky puff pastry, this hand-sized empanada was steaming hot and aromatic when I split it open https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=WJhNodbVx8SDtUG-q9NCEQ to reveal its goodness. Flavorful, but I wished it was spicier while the pastry had a light butteriness to it. I enjoyed it although it was certainly more expensive than your comparable empanada. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=sAnpEmilJY9GEei6yKNHbA Tom Yum Chicken Wings 4pc ($12.95): Lightly-battered fried chicken wings tossed in dry Tom-Yum seasoning, each piece was juicy, plump, and had a crazy crispy crackling skin reminiscent of Kentucky Fried Chicken's extra crispy chicken back in the day. There was a hint of spiciness, but it was the skin that truly won me over! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=4SOyGRHUclCeym8-9pmQoA Krapow Chicken w/Fried Egg ($16.95): A mix of ground chicken, onion, bell peppers, and long beans all tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce, served with rice and a crispy fried egg, this was a decently-portioned lovely bowl of fresh ingredients with enough sweet and spiciness throughout. The fried egg was a nice touch, but I wished the yolk was more wet, and the rice was unusual to me (I would've been fine with simple steamed white rice). Otherwise, this was a nice meal. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=NBHgBPiWctQnYW1z0KsFOQ SERVICE I was greeted by a warm woman behind the counter. I already knew what I wanted to order, so once I placed that, she kindly offered me a glass of water while I waited. About fifteen minutes later, my food was packaged up and ready to go. Everything was simple and straightforward - khàawp khun kráp! PARKING (FREE) No lots to speak of whatsoever. There appeared to be plenty of street parking along the main drag of La Brea Ave. and all surrounding streets (I parked a block away and walked it) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A bright clean simple layout with several dining tables inside along with a handful of stools at the bar while there appeared to be a communal outdoor area shared with a next door business. Decorations were kept to a minimum. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large glass windows and doors while electric recessed ceiling lights and basket-looking fixtures https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=OK8MULOX-u0fsnNJsVDBEw filled in the rest. There were several TVs only at the bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=zoKbHUvmRCG6EC0TjToUVw while pop music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=_PPQ_5ftFR1sGzRfDNLgSg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL My second meal from Mee Dee Thai KItchen was just as good as the first time, and I definitely would consider another visit if I were in the area (frankly, it's not as convenient for me just to go). Personally, I liked my Thai food more on the "dirty" side which provided me with a more perceived authenticity; whereas, I felt their food was more elevated and "cleaner". Regardless, it all still tasted great. I loved the food, I found the prices to be reasonable although maybe a tad elevated, and the service was efficient and friendly. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL would-be paid experience was around $39.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Such a wonderful Sunday night surprise. This Thai spot is exceptional. We eat Thai food often, but everything here--from the flavors to the service to the perfect execution of each dish--is on another level. The crispy pork is a must if you eat pork--so worth it. And the green curry? It tasted just like the one I had the very first time in a small fisherman's village in Thailand. read more

Wow, we were blown away by Mee dee Thai. Shoutout to Yelp for another great find. We really loved the extensive menu and clean/fresh ambience. It's so hard to find a good authentic Thai Place. We were a bit skeptical at first because we were the only ones there. However, we were thoroughly surprised and enjoyed every dish we had. On top of that, the owner was extremely kind and provided great service. She made sure we had everything we needed and always checked on us. We loved the authenticity and the special-ness of each dish. We tried a bit of everything and I can confidently say we loved it all. I don't think you can go wrong with anything TBH. We got it bookmarked for next time. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we'll definitely make the trip out to Mee Dee Thai soon. We loved our dinner. Thank you Mee Dee Thai! read more

Where has this been all my life? It's been a long time since I had a meal that really wow'ed me the way that Mee Dee did! Everything was so flavorful and rich. I must go back! I arrived close to 7 with a friend on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was nearly empty. It filled up quickly though as time went on. Everything looks amazing on the menu but we went with the Tom yum fries, khao soi with beef, and mee dee pad Thai. The portions were pretty big. The two of us shared everything but we couldn't finish and had to take a lot of leftovers home. PAD THAI: My friend said this was probably the best pad Thai he's ever had. This was for sure the best pad Thai that I've had in a long time. It came with a decorative egg net on top which I thought looked neat but didn't add anything flavor-wise. The noodles were insanely bouncy and full of flavor. We opted for "mee dee style" which includes both chicken and shrimp, according to the menu. Ours also had pork, which is something I don't normally eat. I tried it anyway and this was some of the crispiest, juiciest pork I've tried. I don't think you need to order it mee dee style tho. Just one protein will do. Overall, the pad Thai was definitely on the sweeter side but definitely delicious! KHAO SOI with braised beef skank: This was my first time trying khao soi and I was blown away. The beef was impossibly tender and the broth was rich and deeply satisfying. Order it! Tom yum fries: Ordered these because of recommendations on Yelp. They were bold and limey. We got them "mild" and they had the slightest spice to them. Mango sticky rice: Solid. I am a mango sticky rice maniac and I loved it. The mango was fresh and sweet. Although I tend to prefer a saucier mango sticky rice, I had no complaints. All of the food came out really quickly! But after the food came, service was quite slow. Regardless, I loved every bite and I will be back! read more

Get the Tom Yum Fries and thank me later! Hands down the best thing on the menu. And you can really tell by my photo since my friends couldn't keep their hands off of it for the photo.

It's a great family owned and run business. Finding parking on La Brea is not typically that hard. There's tables inside and outside. If you sit outside, they have heaters. We got there at 6pm on a Sunday and the place was completely empty. By the time we left at 7, the place was completely full and people were waiting for tables!

Mee Dee Kitchen on La Brea is honestly one of the best Thai restaurants in Los Angeles. I've tried so many Thai spots around the city and none come close to the flavor and quality here. Every dish tastes authentic and made with love. My favorite dishes are the Krapow Chicken, krapow beef and the Yellow Curry, all full of rich, balanced flavor that hits perfectly every time. The staff is so nice and cute, always welcoming with great energy. The portions are generous, the food comes out fast, and the whole vibe just makes you want to come back again and again. read more

My sister discovered this spectacular Thai place after a fun evening out around the area. The family entered the restaurant's patio with our dogs in the evening. It is right across an Irish pub, so we had to navigate around a crowd watching the Dodgers game (maybe don't go around a sports game if that's not for you). We were served by some friendly staff that took our orders and gave us recommendations along with condiments you do need to request. Everything we ordered was absolutely pristine: Tom Yum Chicken Wings (a greasy, spicy, and super flavorful fave) Chicken Satay (lighter and best with peanut sauce) Papaya Salad with Crispy Pork (great mix of freshness with succulent fatty pork) Khao Soi Braised Beef Shank (AMAZING broth xoxo) Krapow Chicken with Fried Egg + Butterfly Pea Rice (THE BEST rice dish ever!!! I adore the pairing of eggs, chicken, and rice) I'm absolutely taking every person I know to this place! The service, ambiance, food, and price reasonability are nearly perfect!!! read more

I've had a good amount of Thai food, and this tasted so good. We started off with Thai iced tea, which was creamy and not too sweet, it was just right. Then we ordered chicken fried rice, chicken pad thai, and tofu pad see ew. Btw, I love that they have GF options. This was my first time eating Thai food in the LA area, but I was showing my friend around the area, and came across this cute place. The service was wonderful--our server was very kind and we got our food very quickly. We did come on a weekday around 2 or 3pm, so it wasn't too busy, but it was a nice spot to eat good food and catch up with friends. I would definitely come again if i'm in the area. We parked about 5 mins away, walking distance, since there wasn't much street parking. It's located on a main street and there's no parking lot, so you'll have to find parking close by. Make sure you read the parking signs closely! It's easy to get confused and end up parking in the wrong area. read more

I ordered curbside pick-up through their website and Toast app. It was easy to order and I arrived a little early and was told it would be ready in 5 minutes. No problem. When the lady (I wish I caught her name---I ordered at 5:08pm on 4/20/25) came to drop off our order, her energy and demeanor was so lovely, it made me want to come back and dine-in solely because of her. We ordered Pad Thai with crispy pork, Drunken Noodles with tofu and crispy pork (I asked that beansprouts be added as well), and a small Tom Kha Gai. The food was hot and fresh, very neatly packaged. The food was plentiful and they didn't skimp on the protein. My roommate ordered the Pad Thai asked that the spice level be mild and she said that it still had a kick. I like my food spicy spicy so I asked for it to be spicy but not extra spicy as I know Thai places don't play with their spice and it was the perfect spice level. Great taste. The ONLY reason for 4-star rating instead of 5 is because they got my order wrong. I ordered the a small Tom Kha Gai (I was so excited to try) but received Tom Yum (which I was not so excited about). The order was packaged and stapled shut so I didn't check and I should have but I am a little disappointed that I did not get what I paid for. The soup itself came hot and flavor was a good Tom Yum but it just wasn't what I wanted. I sent them an email regarding the incorrect order with photos as evidence asking for a refund for the item or an option to receive that item should I order next time so we shall see. If they reply and try to rectify the situation, I would be more than happy to change my rating to 5 stars because mistakes happen! UPDATE: They emailed me right away to rectify the situation! A well deserved 5 stars all around! read more

A group of 8 of us just left a few hours ago to celebrate my Aunts birthday....we waited an hour just to order our food. The waitress said we had to order drinks first, which took over 30 minutes to receive. I even had to speak to the owner who eventually expedited our service, while watching the tables around us receive their drinks and food in a timely matter. I ordered the Panang Curry, it wasn't spicy like I initially asked and looked nothing like the pictures online. The owner told me it would be re-made, but instead just added spice to it. This was a 2nd visit for me...I also had to wait a while for my order the 1st time I visited, while the place wasn't busy...would I return again? On my own, not likely. Not sure if they were just having a busy or bad night because it is Saturday...but this table was reserved beforehand...so they knew they were expecting us. read more

Mee Dee Thai Kitchen is one of the best authentic Thai food restaurants I've found so far in LA. The owner is so sweet and the service is amazing. It's located in a cute little plaza with multiple other businesses and the interior is cute and wholesome. We had the Pad See Ew, Braised Beef Shank, and Butterfly Pea Lemonade. I'm literally craving all of them just looking at my pictures as I write this review.

Took a friend out for her bday! She picked this place! Idk where their private parking was, but we found street parking and walked a block. When we got inside, majority of the tables were not cleared. We waited for somebody to show up from the back. After a few minutes, lady comes out, clears a table. I had the girls pick the dishes. 1. Tom yum chicken wings. 4 pieces $ $14.25. These were delicious!! Crispy skin and the dry rub of Tom yum! I wanted to ask if I could buy some to take home! I would have put it on everything! 2. Lamb shank mussaman curry. $27.45. This was #1 of the dishes! I was gnawing on the bone, the lamb was so tender! The curry so flavorful! Curry paired perfectly w the blue rice! 3. khao soi braised beef shank. $20.85. This came close 2nd to the lamb shank. Meat is tender! Sauce is yummy! 4. Mee Dee Pad Thai. $20.85. Your typical pad Thai. Sauce was too sweet for my taste. The presentation of the egg was beautiful. The proteins in this dish were superb! Two big shrimp, chicken and pork. The pork had the crispy skin on. The texture, to die for! The food was absolutely ON POINT! Amazing! The place got packed quick! All the tables started filling up and so many Togo orders and uber eats orders! There was only one person in the front and she was so stressed and busy. I mean literally, we could have just left. Which we didn't. I got up and went to the cash register to pay. I had to wait awhile, but I'm glad this place is busy, but service was ok. She was doing her best. The food is a bit pricy, but it is, what it is. I'd still go back for the food alone! read more

I don't have the words to express how much we love the food from Mee Dee. Everything we have tried has been absolutely amazing. From the curry, soups, friend rice, chicken wings, they are all delicious and full of flavor. For some of the dishes there is the option to choose spice level. Honestly you can not go wrong with any of the menu items. Street parking close by. read more

Delicious and affordable! The tom yum soup is perfect when sick. Staff are also super friendly and welcoming

Came here today after going to two other Thai spots that were closed due to the holiday weekend. We were just starving at this point. Street parking only. They had no customers inside or out which made us nervous. We sat outside, there was lots of shade and located right next to a bar/restaurant. My friend asked if he could order a beer next door and bring it to our table but they do not have a liquor license. Service was fast and friendly and the food was DELICIOUS!! We ordered Papaya salad, Chicken satay, Crying tiger, Pad Thai and Tom Kha soup. We had also ordered 3 vegan curry puffs but realized they had forgotten to bring them and we were already very happy and full. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend. read more

If you're searching for a Thai dining experience this restaurant is a hidden gem. We started with the Tom Yum fries and I enjoyed the surprising combination. We also had the classic shrimp Pad Thai, which is nothing short of perfection--slippery noodles cooked just right, with a harmonious blend of tamarind, peanuts, and lime the Yellow Curry is another star, with tender chunks of chicken bathed in creamy, spicy coconut sauce that's as comforting as it is exciting. I'm only bummed I was too full for dessert because I wanted to try the Mango Sticky Rice! The portions are generous, the ingredients are quality and fresh and the flavors are so rich and complex What stood out the most was the staff. The owner was genuinely Friendly, kind, and attentive. They made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table to turn over. Whether you're dining solo, with a date, or with a group of friends, you'll leave feeling like you've gotten more than your money's worth. Whether you're a seasoned Thai food lover or a curious first-timer, Mee Dee Thai is a destination worth visiting. read more
