Tucked away on a small side street on the hill towards Tunghai University, Mr. Ho and his wife have transformed what could be described as a "hole in the wall" into a bustling establishment reminiscent of the sights and smells of Bangkok. The menu boasts all the classic Thai favorites, such as red, yellow and green curries plus a number of interesting dishes that show a definite Taiwanese influence. The large Coconut Chicken Soup can serve a few people and is inexpensive at only NT$200. The Cucumber Salad or NT$50 has amazing flavors and is large enough to share. Also only NT$50, the large serving of Phad Thai Noodles has a special, complex peanut taste. Whether you're looking for a quick buffet lunch or a big meal with friends, the M Thai Restaurant will fulfill any craving for the tastes of Thailand.
