A quieter kind of
Thai kitchen.

Family recipes from Chiang Mai to Bangkok — reimagined for a candlelit corner of Old Town. Curries, noodles, and rice dishes made from scratch, every day.

Our Story

Fifteen years of cooking the food we grew up with.

Malee's began in 2011 as a six-table storefront on East Main. Today the room is a little bigger, the herbs still come in fresh three times a week, and every curry paste is pounded by hand in the back kitchen.

We cook the food we grew up eating — bright, layered, unhurried. Pad Thai the way Malee's grandmother taught her, coconut soups that took a decade to get exactly right, and a rotating handful of chef's specials inspired by trips home to Chiang Mai.

"The green curry is the best I've had outside Bangkok. Warm room, warmer hospitality."
