Thai Max - Friendswood

The mango and BBQ chicken noodles were good, but they could use a bit more flavor.

This is definitely typical mall food, so it's clear you're diving into Asian cuisine. That being said, they offer a selection similar to many other Chinese, Thai, or even Cajun food options found in malls. I never judge too harshly based on the name; I prefer to focus on the menu and food display. They often have someone offering samples of their popular dishes, which helps give you an idea of the flavors. Overall, considering it's mall food, it's not bad, and the prices are reasonable for the setting.

First off, it's important to note that this restaurant serves American Asian cuisine, not strictly Thai. The owner might be Thai, but that's unclear. They advertise that they do not use MSG, which I found promising. I tried the Mongolian beef and the mango chicken with noodles. It was tasty, though not exceptional, but at under $10, it was a reasonable deal—I’ve certainly paid more for less. I left feeling full and satisfied with my meal. I would consider dining here again, as long as I don’t end up with a headache from MSG. The tea was lukewarm, so I’ll opt for water next time. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick.
