    Y12. Papaya Salad

    The food is okay. The only hiccup was that I ordered mild spice, but it came out pretty spicy. I do love the cheese rolls--they're like a tasty twist on cheese wontons, served in an egg roll form. So good!

    I've eaten Thai food in Chicago, LA, and NYC and this place is the real deal. Don't let the modest decor, the location , and lack of ac fool you, this is some damn good authentic food in ATL metro. I had the chicken pad see ew and next time I'll get the veggie version because my only complaint is that there wasn't enough broccoli lol. It's family owned and operated so if you want to support your local economy while eating some unforgettably flavorful food, add this place to your rotation of good places to eat.

    Thai food!!!

    THE BEST THAI FOOD THIS AIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI!!! Hands down, this was way better than I expected, the place looks like a hole in the wall, but it was more like a Diamond in the rough. I ordered the Panang Curry level four spice and it was spicy, but delicious. Most Thai places I have been too don't spice it up, but here you will get what you ask for so be careful if you can't handle it. The fried rice had a grill flavor to it and the Thai tea is crazzzzzzyyy. I have already been back here three times before I could post. Go and enjoy!!

    The food is always outstanding, the service this day was just ok. But let me tell you, next time it takes us longer to pay then it did to order and eat, we will just walk out!!! If it is that hard for us to pay (was almost 30 min waiting to pay) then you must not want us to!

    Super fast food! I went in and ordered and the food was read in less than 10, while there busy doing many takeout orders. Staff was super friendly, not full dine in service, self service. And pretty good prices. Really happy with the food quality, tasted really good, SUPER impressed with how good the mangos were! Very satisfied with my purchase!

The owner is super friendly, well versed on Thai and bartending = Food and drinks are awesome and CONSISTENT. Never been disappointed with this place.

    First the food was actually tasty. Very overpriced but tasted good. I had the pot stickers as an…read moreappetizer and they were decent. But for $7 it feels extremely cheap to have veggie potstickers (and not state that explicitly on the menu). Most places charge $7 for pork or shrimp potstickers. Then for my entree I had the panang curry with fish. My first issue with this is for an additional charge of $8 or $9 DEEP frying a fillet and plopping it on top feels extremely cheap. If it was $4 I'd expect that for almost $10 I'd think pan frying it at least like the salmon they have on the menu would be the default or at least informed to the customer. The extremely high price for the pre prepared curry with veggies with a protein not even mixed in but on top and veggie dumplings is one reason for a star deduction. The service this past time I went was absolutely abysmal. When I came in the server didn't seem to want me to sit at a table (I was a party of 1) so she nudged me to the bar which was alright but when I sat at the bar the bartender rolled his eyes and looked annoyed that I was sitting there. Then he eventually came over didn't greet me and just put menus in front of me. Then when I was ready to order he came over still without saying a word took my order and afterwards asked "do you water or anything to drink" (he hadn't given me any water when I sat down). I answered yes and a Thai iced tea please. My food came out quickly and he brought my Thai iced tea. But never got any water. Then after trying to get his attention for 10 minutes I eventually got him to request my check and he brought it once again with not a word spoken. He clearly hated being there and his job and was so unfriendly I left as quickly as I could even though I was hoping to sit and have a cocktail and do some work.

The restaurant has a spacious dining room and a small bar, so if I'm meeting someone or just don't feel like eating out of a container, I appreciate having that option. It's casual, comfortable, and has been in the neighborhood for years. The menu is HUGE. Shrimp fried rice, chicken dishes, seafood, noodles, sushi...pretty much something for everybody. I usually keep it fairly simple. The shrimp fried rice is a safe choice, and the chicken and broccoli is another easy order. Now, people LOVE Mulan. For me? It's okay. I've never had a terrible meal here, but I've also never eaten anything that had me thinking about when I could come back and order it again. The food comes out hot, portions are decent, and service is generally pretty quick, so there's nothing particularly wrong with it. It just doesn't wow me. I do give them points for being an actual sit-down Chinese restaurant because those seem to be getting harder and harder to find. If I'm already in the area and somebody wants Mulan, I'm perfectly fine going. I'm just probably not the person suggesting it first.

Once you park and step inside it's such a cheesy mom & pop business overly decorated in Thai decor. The restrooms are ALWAYS clean. This is not fast food, you will wait a little while even 15-20 mins for takeout, but it's worth it. My favorite spot on the Southside. I first discovered this restaurant while in Real Estate school at Barney Fletcher. Most evenings we tried to hurry and find close dinner options. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. It can add up to over $40 if you're greedy ordering several items like an appetizer + entree + dessert. I've eaten on my leftovers maybe 2-3X. No exaggeration! The best dish I've had is Naam Khao (crispy rice w/ fermented pork bits, fresh veggies and wrapped in lettuce) and Laos spring rolls (crunchy) . Thai tea overly sweet so it's best when watered down from the ice. Mango sticky rice is a purple color and yummy as well. Unique earthy taste, but still sweet and on par.

I didn't care for the papaya salad it tasted like dead sea animals then I noticed a lil crab in it so that explained why I tasted fish/crustacean. Maybe they also added fish sauce? I don't use those flavors in my dishes so the flavor profile was new for me. No hate just my experience I would still recommend you give them a try. I love the rice steamer I washed it and immediately started cooking sticky rice for the first time. The staff were nice. Nice ambiance, quiet, pretty plants and cultural memorabilia all around.

The restaurant is located in one of the many adjacent smaller shopping plazas next to Southlake Mall. My impression was that Southlake, like malls in general, went into decline and the surrounding shops followed suit. However, a lot of them seem to have been re-purposed for other businesses. There seems to be a mix of businesses and restaurants in the area now. I'm not sure how long Mama Sida's has been there. There was plenty of parking in the shared lot. We ate here on a Thursday at around 6 p.m. I'm sure this isn't their busiest night of the week. They seemed about to run at about 1/3 of dine-in capacity with a steady stream of take-out orders. They owner came out at one point and greeted a couple of people at different tables who she apparently knew, so it looks like the place has a loyal following. They had a fairly extensive menu (including lunch options as well). I did notice that, while the menu lists beer & wine, they added a post it note stating that they do not currently serve this. We both opted for vegetable dishes - mine was a curry and tofu offering. I went for 'hot' and they delivered. It was good and I had enough left over for another meal. My wife liked her dish also (basil / tofu). Prices were reasonable. When you are finished, you go pay at the register rather than getting a bill at your table. If I lived in the area, I'd likely return here.
