This thai restaurant does not attract attention from the location its tucked away in. In a discreet corner on Nellis and D.I. you will find Maya Thai. The inside of the restaurant has been complete redone. A very warm and welcoming dining area. I ordered by phone right when they opened and my food was done in about 10 min which is how long I took to get there from my place.
When I got home, I was pleased to see that they had taken the time to write on every box to easily identify which dish was which. The second thing I noticed was the portions, or lack there of. From experiences with other Thai restaurants, Maya served me about 2/3rds less food than most places. Though the dishes were good, it was small portions.
Let's start with the crispy rolls. Those were fresh and crispy and served with a nice dipping sauce. The beef jerky for me was a little too crispy. My wife and I were debating if the meat was deep fried or if it's dehydrated. That's how dry the texture is. Good but dry. Next was the papaya salad. This was disappointed a bit. The flavor was good but the portion was very, very small. And the papaya salad had 3 literal shrimp. I would expect more if I'm paying over 10 dollars for this. The green curry was good, nothing special here. The shrimp pad Thai was decent, nice flavors and a very nice heat.
The reason for my score was mainly due to price. Overall the food was a definite 4 but due to the current economy and the sizing of my plates and how much I paid, I feel like I could've got more bang for my buck.

Came with both of my daughters one day food was good! But I noticed he was acting kinda funny and watching us sometimes my senses can take over so I try not to always judge how I feel so I came back.. and yes! my senses was right! he barely spoke to us when we walked in the door my daughter's only seven and she was hungry so I ordered because she remembered the place from last time.. 15 minutes later two Caucasian people walk through the door he flared up like it was Christmas morning!! spoke very clearly and loudly for them to hear so I understand where I'm at now.. I've told him we won't be coming back and I can tell that you don't like black people when you're in a partially black community.. I love Thai food so much but as of today I don't know if I even feel comfortable going to any other Thai restaurants here in Vegas.
We always enjoy eating here. The food is always fresh and hot. Great service. They are very friendly here. The curry and crab rice are a must.

THE WORST FRIED RICE I’VE HAD IN MY LIFE. Orange chicken and fried rolls were horrible as well. The best thing was the sauce. Atmosphere is ok
