I have enjoyed authentic Thai food all the way from Thailand, to different places around the continental United States, and have to honestly say this place doesnt hold a candle to other Thai restaurants abroad, much less in Chico. Try at your own risk, but ask yourself if you are willing to gamble your hard earned money for overpriced unauthentic Thai food, and shady business practices.I put in a phone order which I picked up shortly before closing, and noticed that I had received the wrong order when I got home. Waste of $20, not including the tip. This was my second trip to this place, in hopes that the mediocre food that my Family and I ate the first time, would be better. I called the next business day, and informed Drew of the mishap. He took my information, and informed me that my order would be replaced free of charge. Where it really gets hairy is when I call ahead of time to put in the replacement order a couple of days later, return to pick up what I originally was supposed to receive, and was informed by Drew upon arrival (after he tried to charge me) that the owner wasnt honoring the replacement order, nor would a refund be provided. This occurred despite having my receipt in hand, having paid in cash, to include a picture of what I previously received as proof...If this doesnt raise red flags to new potential customers (especially those paying with cash), I dont know what will. Mekkala Thai Cuisine owned by Nicole Khamphasong is as dishonest as they come. Ask yourself if you want to support local businesses who choose to lie, cheat, and steal from customers in a small community where word gets around fast.

What can I say the food was fabulous. They have a nice Vietnamese coffee that is to die for….. Everything was fresh & delicious . Our server was attentive and delightful.

Ive only had the pad Thai ToGo a few times and each time was the best decision I made all week. I usually dont tip when I pick up food but the person taking my order was so damn friendly, he got $5 from me.

Lovely restaurant! Family owned, and son/host Alex was very friendly and helpful in our ordering. I got the eggplant and crispy tofu. Eggplant was phenomenal texture, crispy and seared exterior and silky tender on inside. Mild level sauce is so flavorful. Crispy tofu is light and spongy, were not sure what magic they use but it was perfect. Homemade golden sweet sour sauce pairs wonderfully. Not pictured: green salad and oolong tea. This was a great afternoon meal, thanks for having us.

Wonderful experience here at Mekkala Thai Cuisine. The staff was very friendly and accommodating for our large party that stayed a while after they close. The Pineapple Fried Rice was phenomenal, and the portions were large enough to take some home. Ive been to a few Thai places in town, but not yet Mekkala, and let me tell you, this will be my new go-to.

My first time here and I can say they have elegant table setting, the place is neat including their restroom. I love the food that we ordered and the portion size is a lot. We are only 2 but its already good for 4. We dont have to get their attention to refill our drinks because they will just ask you right away. Staff are very attentive to their customer. Including the cook and servers theyre like 5 or 6 but all of them are very energetic and the vibes are so positive.

I greatly preferred the other Thai restaurants in town to this one. Food taste and location are better at the other places. Caution - their food is spicy so be ready. Spicier than normal for Thai food in my opinion.

I decided to take my hubby for a late lunch. We were cheerfully greeted by a smiling young man, who led us to our table and took our drink order (water) after handing us menues.I asked of him his favorite dish, and he rhapsodized about an Eggplant Dish (which I ultimately ordered, Thai Hot). Soon, the server arrived and took our orders. (He is the owners son.) Hubby had the Red Curry Mixed Seafood, which he loved.I loved what I had, and it was hot enough for me. Everything was wonderful!!!

We have come here in the past and it is always good Thai food. It had been a while, and I was a bit disappointed they got rid of the lunch menu, but at least the portions match up to the prices of the regular menu well. Never had a bad experience at this restaurant and will continue to eat here in the future.

Everything was great including our waiter Alex but Im here to tell you the one thing you need to know : we never had such a delicious coconut soup. OUT OF THIS WORLD. ORDER IT. NOW.
