That was really good authentic Thai food! Big tasty and homemade deliciousness. We recommend the pad Thai as well as the curry best Thai we’ve had in Playa Del Carmen and affordable too. Service was amazing even though we had it to take out. It took both even 10 min to get it done and it was fresh and hot ! 100% recommend.

Authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious Thai cuisine! Having tried Thai food in various cities, I can confidently say this place stands out, likely thanks to the head chef, who hails from Thailand. The flavors are spot-on, offering an authentic taste that’s hard to find elsewhere. Nestled in the most beautiful street of Playa del Carmen, Mae Thai not only charms with its vibrant ambiance but also with its warm and attentive staff. Every visit feels like a special experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving an authentic Thai dining experience!

Decent place, not the best thai restaurant, but it works. We ordered Pad Thai and several woks. The food was super tasty, especially with chicken. The wok is like the sweet and sour with more flavor. I was bit that was worried but it met my expectations.

Nice surprise to find an authentic Thai place in Playa del Carmen. Had the classic Chicken Pad Thai Noodles, they were delicious. My friend had some curry and liked it. The Tom Kha soup was also very good and tasty. Had the Sticky Rice for dessert and it was pleasantly sweet, not overdone. They also serve you complimentary vegetarian rolls. Quick and courteous service.

Wonderful food here, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Our favorites include the Ped Makam and love the complimentary vegan appetizer. Really nice if you’re looking for a nice evening meal or just want a great takeout dinner.

I finally found great Thai food in Playa! I visited Mae Thai last night for the first time and loved it! The portions weren’t huge, but enough for one person to enjoy. I’m considering going back again tonight to try something other than the Pad Thai!
