Midweek meal with my wife. The small but cosy seating arrangement and friendly front of house member of staff (Mary) set the scene. The food was INCREDIBLY tasty and plentiful. We had wine and the price was very reasonable. We'll go again.

Excellent and authentic Thai food. It is easily as good as the best food we enjoyed during a trip to Thailand. Beautifully decorated interior and friendly service. Also, prices are reasonable. For example, the delicious vegetarian Pad Thai costs £6.50. Almost every dish has a vegetarian option and each dish is complemented by an artistically crafted edible flower sculpture, for example carved out of a carrot. A must visit for anyone visiting Cheshunt and interested in Asian cuisine.

Excellent reviews ... but poor food.

We were looking forward to our takeaway based on all the reviews.

The dumplings were stodgy.The pad thai had little chicken, no peanuts and was the wore we'd ever had
The The Pad Priew was disappointing.

Sadly, we won't be ordering again.

I used to live in Thailand, so my expectations may be higher than others. There is more to Thai food than Pad Thai....

The staff were friendly, I could rate them 5 stars. The resteraunt was not that busy, given it was Friday night.

The food flavours were representative of Thai food, but far from authentic and not as strong as I would have hoped. Also, the chilli rating which indicates the spice level is not present in the food, nothing was remotely spicy (and I usually sweat at the first sign of spice). Even the hot sauce I received on request was just a tangy sauce, not at all Thai. This was a shame as the menu has Thai names for the food, so I had high expectations. I have had far more authentic Thai food in North London. Also, the meat was a bit sparse, with more onions and veg than meat in the stir fry dishes.

The decor looks rather Asian, I liked the place mats. Plus they have Chang beer, which is difficult to find in UK supermarkets.

You can visit here for a nice meal I guess, but do not walk away believing the food is authentic. I would likely not return, on this basis.

The food is great. The tamarind duck was perfectly cooked and not too sweet. The coconut rice was delicious and the beef massaman was anogher great choice.
Unfortunately there was only one waitress so she was a little overworked but still gave great service.
We'll definitely be visiting Mai Thai again.

Ordered on the website, went to pick up in Allocated time slot and they had no clue about my order. Husband called me whilst i was in the car looking after our newborn and they finally located it. They only began preparing the food once I arrived and my husband had to wait and wasn't offered a seat. Unprofessional and rude. My husband asked where the prawn crackers were in the bag as they are usually complimentary but she abruptly said we hadn't ordered them. He asked if they could be complimentary considering the time he had to wait and she said no. To which he Informed her it wasn't our fault, and she responded that it wasn't her fault. A customer has placed an order on your website and YOU haven't spotted it and YOU have not made the food in the Allocated time and made us wait , but its not your fault? This is how you lose customers
