    The new owners have dialed in the food and it was very good. The service was a bit scattered and hectic as the servers were trying to get to everyone. It was not a relaxed atmoshere. We felt rushed. There was a large party of 16-20 people who were very loud and that added to the hectic environment. Next time we'll ask for a table somewhere in a corner or outside.

    It has been a while since we have eaten at Malee’s. We were delighted to find the food as good as we remembered. The service was wonderful too. And we had forgotten the interesting nearby art galleries.

    Very disappointed and won’t be going back. This used to be a great Thai restaurant with dark, cozy ambiance and great food but it’s now like eating in a food court with bright lights, poor quality food and someone in the kitchen yelling out good orders.

    Service with Max was a little slow and our dinner orders for 2 of our family were not accurate.

    Food was good but service is subpar. There is a lot of nickel and diming going on here. For instance, we ordered two entrees that come with steamed rice but our server refused to serve rice with one of the entrees as she felt we would not eat it. Never checked on us during the meal and we did miss the rice. There were other things too which I would have overlooked but this restaurant filed a no-show inquiry with Open table and now I may have to provide them with the receipt which I have but it’s a headache that I do not need. This restaurant used to be a good place to dine at in the past. Will not be returning here ever again.

    Food always great, only disappointed was they gave us NO time between apps and main. In fact still eating apps when they brought out dinner. Very poorly timed.

    Good food, nice atmosphere, great service. For Thai food in Scottsdale I'd highly recommend MaLees's
