Malinee's Thai House - Ajax

This fantastic restaurant offers delicious, fresh food served piping hot. We thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken dumplings, Pad Mama, and Pad See Eew dishes - they were all incredibly tasty. The owner was friendly and attentive. We will definitely return to sample more of their dishes.

The Thai chef at this restaurant is incredible, serving up truly delicious dishes that rival those in Thailand. I will definitely be returning for more!

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant was clean. The medium spice level was just right for those who don't like extremely hot sauces but still want some heat. The only suggestion I have is to consider getting a more eye-catching sign for the restaurant. Thank you for the fantastic pad Thai dish.

Really lovely people who run the business, and the food was decent. The curries were a little better than the noodle dishes. I would give it another try.

I am hugely disappointed with our 1st experience at Malinee 's. The online comments about the food, the taste and experience were overwhelmingly positive. Based on these comments, we decided to try Malinee 's for dinner.The positives: the waiter appeared to be new, but he was trying really hard to make sure we had everything we needed. So service was excellent, no complaints. The restaurant is clean, its small and after about a dozen patrons can feel loud. But it 's not unpleasant. I don 't see anyone eating in and staying longer than necessary.The negative: Only one, but it 's the primary reason for going to a restaurant. The food was bland, the protein was just boiled meat, without flavor. And it had a really weird overwhelming odd taste. At first I commented that it tasted like plastic, and I earnestly wondered if something plastic had mistakenly been cooked in the dish, but eventually I realized it was some seasoning or sauce.Regardless, the Coconut chicken soup was bland, but better than the green curry chicken which was weak, bland, and without flavor. The chicken in it was tasteless. We mixed both the soup and green curry to try to have some flavour, it helped slightly but overall it was a waste of effort.Who doesn 't like sweet and sour chicken? My kids! My kids eat sweet and sour regularly, they had a few bites and then just stuck to the fried rice, which was the only thing they liked.We brought the food home, and it 's still sitting in the fridge. Nobody wants it. I feel terrible for having to write a negative review like this. I really wish the food had been better.For Thai food, I feel there are better options available in Ajax/Pickering and normally I would stick to one of them. But again the reviews were so glowing about the food at Malinee 's, we just had to try. It feels like we went to a whole different restaurant. I even double checked the sign once outside to confirm we did indeed come to Malinee 's.I don 't like leaving stinging reviews, the restaurant owners work hard and I feel empathy for their efforts, but I also don 't like to leave positive reviews of food that was frankly not very good.Could this be an off night for Malinee 's? Absolutely! And I can only hope future patrons have a better food experience than we did.
