“Had a really great experience at Me Dee Cafe. The food was absolutely delicious — authentic flavors, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Every dish came out fresh and full of flavor. Service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of without being overwhelming. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again 👍”
“You should get the signature curry with salmon and not ask questions.”
“Great service. I love finding hole in the wall restaurants like this. It’s open way late which is convenient.”
“As the ultimate destination for authentic Thai cuisine, this restaurant excels, offering classic dishes such as rice porridge accompanied by complementary sides that showcase the nation's culinary richness. Its unassuming size conceals an expansive menu and exceptional service that surpass expectations. I look forward to returning; thank you for a memorable dinner experience tonight.”
“Ended up here pretty late at night. Opened until 12:30 am. Small, quintessentially the place to eat. The service was fantastic. The young man that was taking orders, for dine in and to go orders was very informative about what was what. His suggestions were absolutely what I was craving. I got the glass noddle with crab and shrimp. I asked for it spicy which isn’t advertised as spicy but it was not a problem. And it was the perfect spicy. My lady had the me see veggie plate with shrimp and that was so fresh with the veggies cooked perfectly and the shrimp was definitely large shrimp. Table next to us got a fermented pork short rib and offered me a bite. Just wow. We started off with the shrimp dumpling and veggie rolls. And fried calamari. When I tell you everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were out of this world, believe that that they were. I highly recommend trying this place out. Go asap! I’ve added pictures of the menu so you’ll know what you want once you get there. Enjoy yall!!”
“The food was great, Thai authentic taste. Open late night. The staff were friendly, attentive and polite. It was crowded when I was there. Recommended ! ❤️”
“Got there at 11 pm and was happily surprised with the extensive menu and friendly service. We were the only people at this small place, but while we ordered and had dinner there were maybe 10 to 12 take-out orders prepared and picked up. A couple of them were large. I came because google maps said they have pho. This place is Thai, not Vietnamese, so no pho, but they are good at what they do have. We had fried Chinese sausage, glass noodle pork and cabbage soup, and celery tilapia, which has a lot more than just celery.”
“We ordered several dishes via Uber Eats, most of which were very good. We wanted to try the congee with ground pork- our first time ever ordering that dish. What we received was a small container of steamed rice and a very large container of soup with some vegetables and large chunks of pork. I guess maybe I'm confused by the word "porridge" - does that just mean soup poured over rice? Am I supposed to do something to break the rice down, or just let it sit for a long time? Again, we've never had congee before but in pictures I've seen it looks thick and creamy, not anything like our order.”
“The only vegan option I believe was the pad see ewe. Later the waitress asked us if we wanted tofu a certain way and we thought we were talking about in our dish but it was a separate side. So that was a bit confusing, and we should have clarified too. Cute art on wall”
