Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Gem alert! Gf, veg, meat, spicy options hit the spot. I had the green curry and I'm a happy girl. Will return with my husband and I'm guessing he will order larb. They said they can make most dishes gf for me. Hooray!"
"We love Thai food and saw that this place had just opened in Brainerd with only one review but it was a great review. We decided to give it a try and we loved it! The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. The service was fantastic and so was the food! Everything tasted delicious and freshly prepared with the best ingredients. We will definitely be back!"
"Yummmmm. I don't find many restaurants with Lao dishes when I travel, and I was very surprised to find one here in Chattanooga. I'm so glad we tried it too because it was amazing! We got the Tom kha soup, the som tum Lao (papaya salad), and the nam tok neua (beef salad) and the salads came with sticky rice which was perfectly cooked! We also had Thai coffees which were delicious as well. Do yourself a favor and check out this restaurant. They did say they were dealing with people hacking their website and making online ordering a little difficult at the moment, but it's worth the trip to go sit down and eat We can't wait to come back!"
"GREAT FOOD. So good. There different varieties of fried rice were all awesome and they had the best spring rolls I can remember. Took my meat and potatoes friend with me and even he liked it."
"Don’t walk, RUN to Mah Kin! So delicious! The best Thai in Chattanooga. Very authentic, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. We will most definitely be back! Highly recommend trying Mah Kin. Everything we had was amazing! Great place to try a lot of different plates with friends and family."
"Wonderful food and vegetarian-friendly options. Our group of four tried the pineapple fried rice, yellow curry, green curry, and panang curry. All were excellent. Mild spice = medium (aka this place is authentic Thai) so if you are spice-sensitive, ask for no spice and you’ll be good. The spring rolls were perfection. We will definitely be coming back."
"The food was GREAT! The women running the business were so nice and they set the restaurant up to accommodate my family of 10 for my aunts birthday. The food came out hot and fresh. We will be back!"
"tried for the first time and this will be a new staple! I tried the Chor Thong and Tom Yum noodles, and they were so unbelievably good!! the Tom Yum noodles were so so comforting and the portions for the main dishes are huge. service was great, they were so sweet and the place looks so cute and clean. can’t wait to come back!"
