“Mae Kong is a great littleThai restaurant . The owner cares about her food and it shows . It is a small place tasteful but simple atmosphere . I have eaten here for many years . It is one of the few restaurants in downtown New Britain that has withstood the rest of time. While many others have come and gone Mae Kong survives. The menu is varied and contains many Thai dishes you won't find elsewhere . I have Tom Yum Khoong soup, the Larb, Pad-See-ew, a couple of Prik dishes, the green, Panang and Mussaman curries as well as several other dishes . All ver excellent. S solid and relatable Thai restaurant. It's BYOB.“
“Yummy!!! Just the right amount of flavor. Not salty. Good portion sizes. Clean, spacious restaurant. Very nice customer service- attentive, polite, and communicative. Took it home for dinner so my pics aren’t great but it was delicious and there were no leftovers!!! I’m going back.Parking: There were about 5 stops on the restaurant premises but you could park on the street.“
“Service was quick and efficient. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered spring rolls and drunken noodles with shrimp. Spring rolls were fresh with a light crispy crunch. The drunken noodles with shrimp was a lil bland, not enough sauce and portion size was small. I will probably try again just a different dish.“
“Delicious food !The owners worked with me to cater lunch for a large group, with many different food allergies. They were so helpful and accommodating, and the food was so good! Do not hesitate to support this small business!!Dietary restrictions: Many options for all dietary restrictions.“
“1100000/10 recommend this amazing restaurant! I had my Valentine's Day date here today and I was absolutely blown away with how delicious every single thing that came out of that kitchen was. The atmosphere was perfect for our romantic date. I truly felt the love in every bite! already planning my birthday dinner here next month! thank you ❤️❤️“
“This place has become so popular over the last couple of years for their sushi. Literally drive out of.my way to come here whenever I get the chance. Food is always fresh and sushi is on point. Cannot recommend this place enough. But dinner time will be a wait even with a reservation as this place is so popular.“
“Pho Bar got pulled up on by me n company recently during a cold @$$ day as a hot bowl of soup sounded to good to pass up....The location is in a shopping center but they have a clearly visible sign w an ok amount of parking.There isnt a ton of seating so maybe call if its a busy night..outside of that its nice n clean inside.As far as the food goes this place is pretty legit...Appetizer: curry puffs.while they weren't what I was expecting the flavor was good. But they needed a bit more time in the fryer as the centers were cold/under a bit so this was mixed bag.On to the main event here. The headliners were:Rare Beef PhoGarlic Stir Fry w/ Crunchy ChickenThe Pho itself was kinda on the salty side which was a letdown but the flavors were a knockout and the rare beef? Actually tender & rare thin slices of good quality beef!! Score!It came w all the fixins and everything tasted fresh. ?The garlic stir fry again was a bit on the salty side but the flavors here were aces!! Thin sliced tender pieces of ginger that didn't overwhelm the palate. Then you finish it off w some of the crispitty crunchiest chicken ya ever bit into and you have yourself a little happy dance ?They put out some legit eats here and it's worth a stop...if your sensitive to salt ask for it to be toned down. Outside of that enjoy the transport to a Vietnamese paradise.“
“Friday at 11:00 a.m. and easy parking, .25 will get you 15 minutes in the meter/order took 12 minutes, so it worked out well for me.This was my first visit, I ordered three appetizers:WINTER SHRIMP- 4/$7.95CHICKEN CRISPY SPRING ROLLS-4/$6.95CHICKEN WINGS-5/$7.95(These are wingettes, not full wings)Each one came with a Thai sweet/spicy sauce, which was more sweet and had no spice to itI played it safe with this order because I had never been here and the reviews overall are good, but these are items that are my go to in general and if I'm happy with these I would hope that I would be happy with an entree/dish in the futureShe said they would be ready in 15 minutes And it was ready in 12I enjoyed all three appetizers and I will go back to try and entree next visitParking: $0.25 for every 15 minutes and the parking meter people do drive-by often, so it cannot hurt to put at least $0.25 in the meter just to be safe“
“We went on a slow night so the service was great and I had the Seafood vegetable stir fry. It was very good. Our waitress also brought out fried wontons and spring rolls. The dipping sauce for those was excellent! It was well priced also. I will go back.“
“This place is extraordinary and I frequent it at least 3 times a month! The service here is wonderful. The ladies there are always smiling and more than happy to accommodate your requests. The appetizers, food, specialty drinks and desserts are delicious. The restaurant uses fresh ingredients offer plenty of vegan options. Despite some reviews mentioning portion size, I've always found the portions to be more than generous. Somewhere in Bangkok the best Thai restaurant in the area! อาหารที่ยอดเยี่ยม สถานที่ที่มีความสุข Xāh̄ār thī̀ yxd yeī̀ym s̄t̄hān thī̀ thī̀ mī khwām s̄uk̄h“
“Take-out food recommendation! Hot Basil Thai Food, 565 New Park Ave, West Hartford. Ordered three dishes at 2:15pm today for pick-up. Not only was the food OUTSTANDING, but the price SHOCKED me at how low it was. I guess the lunch menu prices is reduced. I will be doing this again, frequently. I've eaten there for dinner several times per year for years and never regretted it, but this blew me away, both the quality and price. Let's be sure to keep them in business with take-out orders!“
“Such a great place to eat! I’ve gone there countless times, and have also gotten takeout/door dash. Their white and green curry is the best I’ve ever had, and other friends stand by this as well. Their pad Thai lunch specials make appetizers and drinks super affordable, so be sure to take advantage when you can. I love love love Prai.“
“Excellent food. Their crispy phad thai is exceptional. The sauce is outstanding. Dumplings are great and Royal Golden Palace soup is loaded with shrimp and goodies that make it a meal in itself. The satay and sauces are delectable. Will definitely return.“
“This was my third time visiting this Thai place. I think it’s a very good place if you like spicy food because they can make really good spicy food .However i had gone before covid and it was a well kept restaurant but on going yesterday it didn’t look so welcoming and also the plates that were served were very worn out. I think most of their business maybe with takeouts . There were not many servers and all as well. Just the family running the business.Sweet chili sample-5/5Crispy crab curry-4/5Drunken noodles-4/5Red chicken curry-5/5 bcz of the spice levelService is fast, food is good. And they do check your bill as they do apply 12% service charge additionally when you dine in.“
“I have been on the lookout for a great Thai restaurant in CT after having been lucky enough to enjoy some very good restaurants on Long Island and while traveling for work across the country without much success, until today.The lunch I enjoyed at Kob Jai Pho and Thai Restaurant was absolutely delicious. Although I only had a few of their offerings (Veg Tom Yum Soup, Spring Roll, & Prik King), the flavors were incredible and food divine.From the subtle spicy and sweet soup, to the delicate crunch of the roll and sweetness of the sauce, and the perfectly spice laden Prik King with bell peppers, string beans, and white rice draped over the delicious sauce, I thoroughly enjoyed everything down to the last drop.Highly recommended!!“
“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Started with crab Rangoon, fresh rolls and dumplings. All delicious! Dinners were pork pad Thai, beef pad Thai, fried rice and a most interesting chicken salad. Everything was delicious with most delicate flavors. We were pretty full but needed to try the mango sticky rice and it did not disappoint! Mango was do fresh and the contrasting warm rice was devine. Best Thai food out in a long time.“
“We had a party of five. The restaurant is geared more towards carry out, but the service was excellent and they made room for our group.We had a variety of dishes including drunken noodles, shrimp pho, Thai chicken with cashews, edamame, fresh spring rolls and fried spring rolls. Everybody enjoyed the food. Everything I tried was excellent. But the massaman curry was the best by far. It had a deep, rich flavor and just the right amount of heat. It’s one of the best curries that I’ve ever had.“
“I’ve been going to the Asian restaurant for many years. Their food is not like a lot of other fast food, Asian restaurants. The food is very fresh and flavorful, not greasy or heavy as some Asian food can be. Being Vegan I order Mapo tofu with hibachi rice. The tofu is so flavorful you can get it mild to spicy.. The portion is big enough for two people to split.Off street parking. Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Inside seating only.Dietary restrictions: When ordering they say to ask if need be for questions regarding dietary restrictions. They can at times make adjustments for gluten intolerance, dairy or no allergies..“
“I tried this place for the first time and was impressed. The staff were knowledgeable and able to accommodate vegan options. This indicates an important detail; the food is freshly made and prepared.The bottomline is that most peoplewill find a truely special option here within the options of customization.Vegetarian options: most items can be made vegan. exceptionally even the curries can be made vegan.“
“My favorite Thai restaurant currently in the greater Hartford area. The food reminds me of my mom's cooking. I make the trip from Hartford To New Britain whenever I want a piece of home. This small quaint restaurant packs a punch and doesn't hold back on flavor. While some places water down the flavor to cater to a broader audience Mai (the owner) chefs it up as if she is in her home kitchen cooking for family. You taste the loving in her cooking. There is limited seating but when you get the chance order a few dishes with friends or family and share the meal Thai style. You can always order in advance and pick up or utilize a delivery service. You won't be disappointed. Ask for Mai (pronounced May) and tell her Ty sent you. She will make sure you're taken care of.“
