5 /5 Ekleba OS: I first visited Mai Thai many years ago, long before the era of widespread online reviews, and the food was amazing even then. After a long absence (for no particular reason!), I recently returned for dinner, and I am happy to report that its just as good as I remember—if not even better.
I ordered the Prawn, Basil, and Ginger stir-fry with steamed rice, and the sauce was truly exquisite. Ive had variations of this dish at many other Thai restaurants, and this version at Mai Thai is, without a doubt, the best I have ever tasted. Unfortunately, I devoured it before I remembered to take a photo!
The beef salad (I believe it was a Yum Neua style) was also incredibly tasty. I’m generally not a fan of cold/chilled meat salads, but the freshness and flavour of this one completely won me over.
The cocktails are definitely on point too! We enjoyed a couple of Lychee Martinis each; they had the perfect balance of sweet and alcoholic—we could have easily stayed for more.
My only minor niggle is that I wasnt particularly drawn to the dessert menu, but that’s purely down to personal taste and might be perfect for others.
In summary, if you are looking for fantastic, high-quality Thai cuisine and you are close to Wimbledon, you absolutely must visit Mai Thai. Highly recommended!
