“Food and service was great.”

Food and service was great. We had the Drunken Noodles and chicken and beans for lunch with the ice coffee. Everything tastes fresh and authentic as it can be. But you have to try the ice coffee.

“The Thai food I enjoyed at Hom Mali was salty, buttery, and savory all at once—absolutely delicious.”

The Thai food I enjoyed at Hom Mali was salty, buttery, and savory all at once—absolutely delicious. I really appreciate when you can try different cuisine and it stands out with its own unique flavor. Unlike some other Thai places I've tried, Hom Mali had a more homemade feel, both in taste and presentation. It was also aesthetically pleasing, which added to the experience. I did takeout for lunch and the specials were totally worth it—two full meals with drinks for under $20? No complaints here. I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying it again soon.

“A delicious, but unknown Thai restaurant to us until early Nov 2024.”

A delicious, but unknown Thai restaurant to us until early Nov 2024. We were the lonesome diners dining-in at the restaurant on a Friday evening at 6:15pm, but they had a relatively steady set of customers doing take-out. The seating area is very simple and clean. Their tofu Khao Soy was delicious! I would love to go back and also make use of their BYOB.

“Very tasty and perfect for before a Second City show.”

Very tasty and perfect for before a Second City show. The Pad See Iew was fantastic and loved the stir fried veggies. The Penang curry lacked a bit of flavor, I think it needs more kaffir lime leaves. The service was great and I’d return.

“Picked up five delicious dishes last night, for five people.”

Picked up five delicious dishes last night, for five people. Everything was very fresh and delicious and made to order. Would definitely return! Only complaint would be portions are slightly small, so no leftovers whatsoever.

“A hole in the wall.”

A hole in the wall. Grabbed lunch with a friend here and in that time not one other person came in to eat. I’m surprised that this place isn’t busier. We got the tom yum fried rice and the Khao soy. The tom yum had perfectly cooked shrimp on top of a generous amount of rice. The shrimp paste added a nice flavor and the mushrooms were good. Everything paired nicely together giving a very enjoyable dish. The Khao soy was tasty with a nice balance of shallots, chicken, and noodles. My only suggestion would be to add more curry as the ratio of it to the rest was off. Overall, this place was great. Good portions, good prices, and a lot to choose from. Will be back often.

“Delicious food made from fresh ingredients.”

Delicious food made from fresh ingredients. You can ask for Thai chilli on the side for added heat. Tom Yom soup and dessert is absolutely amazing. The only down side is that the serving portion is kind of small. Will definitely go back again.

“Their Pad Thai is my absolute favorite in the city.”

Their Pad Thai is my absolute favorite in the city. They give a good amount of protein and noodles for a reasonable price compared to other pad thai options. I usually order out so I cannot speak to the restaurants ambiance but their service is usually very fast on takeout!

“This place is great.”

This place is great! First time trying this place out. The positive reviews are here for a reason. Had a new (to me) dish of Khao Soy. Wonderfully spiced yellow curry with a crown of crispy noodles on top. I would definitely recommend!

Awesome food. The Tom Yum was perfection, I can't stop thinking about it! The veggie egg rolls were delicious and Pad Thai was fresh and flavorful! Must try place!
