Malie Asian Kitchen

I have no complaints. Beautiful restaurant and great food. You order at the counter and pay then sit and the bring the food to your table. The establishment was not too busy when I was there and is inside the 29 Palms Casino where there is plenty of parking. It was a taxing and well prepared meal and they brought spice tray to the table in case I wanted to add more.

Their pho was big bowl and yummy! The rice noodles were just right. The basil and sprouts were fresh! They had all the sauce condiments also. Loaded with meat! We were very full and ready for our hike at Joshua Tree park! We did not see many customers at the time we went but we went inside anyways.

I've eaten at Asian restaurants all over America, both high and low priced. Since this one is on the high end of pricing, I figured the food must be good. Checking out others reviews convinced me to try it out. I ordered the broccoli beef. When the server brought the plate, I thought there must be some mistake; everyone in the reviews remarked how big the portion sizes were. What they brought me was kid sized. It had a foul fishy flavor and it was very sour. I realized something; everyone that gave it raving reviews and left a photo where you can see the dining area had something in common. The dining room is always empty. For a place with such high marks, you would think this place would be packed with a waiting list. WRONG. This place is empty for a reason. High priced sub-par food. Tho

I had the beef lo mein. It was tasty. Although, it was obvious that it had been microwaved. The center of the portion was hot and the edges were not. I ordered spring rolls and expected the traditional Chinese dish only to be disappointed by getting these lettuce wraps. I’m not quite sure what they use to wrap it. I peeled it away and I enjoyed the shrimp that was inside. Also, I was a bit confused about the peanut butter that they served with these lettuce wraps. A very odd sauce for a shrimp dish. I was disappointed that it was not a traditional restaurant with table service. You go up to the counter and order of your food. You get a number to put on your table much like using the kiosk at McDonald’s. They bring it out to you. After bringing my food out, no one checked back with me. Luck

Seemed pricey at first, but we received large portions of quality grub. Enjoyed the Tuna Poki with vegetables and chilled sake.
