“ It's not a restaurant * Small kioski kind eatery with very limited place to sit. Food is tasty , Service ok but music was too loud was sounding the same all the time like loop. Over all we walked 25 minutes & waited 20 minutes to get the table & food. If you are ok with take away I recommend their food. For dining I would skip it. ”
“ I ordered the Pad Thai and it was amazing. The noodles were cooked just right, not too soft or sticky. The sauce had a great balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Highly recommend if you love Pad Thai—this one was one of the best I’ve had in a while! ”
“ Stopped by Mae Thai Hötorget for a casual meal and was glad I did. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. While it may not be the most traditional Thai I’ve had, the dishes were still very enjoyable and hit the spot. The atmosphere is simple and more rustic than a typical sit-down restaurant, but the space has a relaxed charm of its own. Service was friendly, fast, and efficient — everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A great spot for a quick, satisfying meal in the city. ”
“ Nice reasonably priced covered food kiosk. Just got into town at night and looked for something nearby that was open. Nice diverse Thai menu with lots of different meat and tofu options including stir fry, curries, noodles and more. Beers and sodas for drinks. They have a few tables for covered dining. Staff was nice. Not the best Thai but great for the price and value. ”
“ Really delicious Pad Thai for a great price. It's a small place I almost missed, with good and affordable Thai food. I only had takeaway, but I'm coming back to try more food there. I had both chicken and tofu pad thai, and both were delicious. The portion was big .there was a long line to wait, but it was worthy ”
“ Nice little Thai spot near Hötorget. This place feels more like a street-food stall than a full restaurant, with limited covered seating available. Which is totally fine and it gives a nice authentic Thai vibe to the place. We had to wait a little while to get a table, but it was worth it. You order at the counter and pick up your food when your number is called—fast and efficient. We tried the green and red curries with rice. Both were very generous, packed with chicken, shrimp, not that much fresh veggies though. The curries were creamy, pretty flavorful. Not the explosion of flavor I experienced many times in Thailand though. The “3-chilli” spice level was milder than expected, but the taste was still good. I would have preferred way more spicy though, that is why I chose the most spicy dish on the menu. Overall: tasty, creamy curries with plenty of ingredients, big portions, quick service, and good value for money. Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner in central Stockholm. ”
“ Very small place but food was amazing. Also location is very good. Staff was friendly and again, food is super-tasty. You can really taste Thai-spiciness in food. ”
“ I’d give this Thai restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The stirfried noodles I ordered were quite impressive. First, the ingredients are abundant. However, the only downside is that it’s a bit too salty. If the saltiness could be adjusted to be more moderate, it would be perfect. ”
