We’ve been eating at Mai’s for several years now. My favorite dish is Pad Kee Mow, but I love so many of them. I’ve always liked Thai food myself, but got really interested when Kelly and I befriended one of his co-workers Thiem, who’s from Thailand. Thiem taught us a lot of very traditional dishes and it’s always a pleasure to eat at her house. It’s especially wonderful when she has friends and family visiting from Thailand the food and company are amazing; not to mention the drinking rituals. Good times are had by all. Thiem’s close friend Penny owns a restaurant in downtown Louisville by the UofL dorms; and she also knows Mai. There are still some closely guarded recipes that I need to get. In response to River; depending on the ingredients, there are a lot of dishes that have fish sauce in them but you would never know it. For instance most Pad Kee Mow’s have fish sauce but instead of standing out like in soups in this dish it enriches the other flavors. Unless you’re a vegan of course. I forget that most of the members on this blog are, sorry.

How fantastic - I adore Thai food! And to think you’ve actually found one that doesn’t use that sauce with fish in it! So many do - although we once found a wonderful place that actually warned us which dishes had it and which didn’t BEFORE we ordered Btw I love the name of the restaurant - makes me thirsty just to think of it LOL Love and hugs!

I am looking forward to a return visit to Mai’s. If our return visits are as grand as our first I can see going back every couple of weeks. I am glad that Mai’s was our first real try for Thai food. I am probably now spoiled.
