Stop LOOKING and COME HERE!!!!. I grew up in a community with Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese family and friends and this food reminded me of home! The food was cooked fresh and it had so much flavor!
The staff was warm and welcoming. Thank you so much for making delicious food it brought such good memories to me. This is my new favorite restaurant!! Thank you! Very clean fast and fresh! 10 stars all the way!
Fyi I picked the ginger chicken in my picture you can see the slices of ginger. It was very refreshing!
Best Thai restaurant in Mason. Selection is endless, staff are nice, food is great. I appreciated the foil covered styrofoam containers since everything is super hot!
Spicy Basil Wing 10/10.
Drunken Noodles 7/10, could have more basil, spice and flavor.
Overall I’m returning if I’m hungray.
i’m not from this state, just visiting and i came to the mall not knowing it was almost all closed, to see what was in the food court, to my surprise this was the only place i saw and it was amazing. the best lo mein i’ve ever had hands down!
****Update frm 1 to 5 star**** I went to this place again to try the food. The customer service had done a 360! I was promptly greeted by both the cashier(diff one..this one had blk/blond hair w/a hat on) and the older lady that was cooking when I walked past before. I ordered the N10 which is Lomein and I added 🍤. When I tell you I am SO glad I gave this place a 2nd chance!!! They did not disappoint!! The food was AMAZING!!! I WILL be bck!!***
Initial review>>> I was referred to this place by a young lady that said she was a friend of the owners. I walked up to view the menu board which had no prices and I was given a off putting stare. I was never greeted with even a simple hello, may I help you, not even do I hv any questions since again displayed menu board had no pricing. There was a man, a younger man,and a older woman cooking and the less than warm woman at the counter. Her stare was so dismissive I walked away. Not sure how the food is per I never got the chance to try.
Awesome food and nice staff. There is a vast majority of food and they are to die for. Highly recommended and wish the mall was more open. Miss the days where people went to malls.
Don't let the empty mall scare you off. This out of towner really enjoyed the pad Thai. Smells so good, made fresh and hot. Hasn't been sitting under heat lamps. Quick, inexpensive, good service, and really delicious.
Good food. Good environment. Quiet place.
Order some spicy food and it was up to far with flavor and spice. Love it and recommend 💯❗
Always so good...highly recommended!

Had CH.6 and took home CH.4. So good👅❤️
Great food, served fresh, party platter options, and good prices.
We enjoyed our meal.
It was busy and I could taste why.
Worth a stop!
Hidden gem in Mason City. Awesome family business. Hands down, the best Thai food you can order in the area.

I love this place so much! Great food and so friendly. Worth the trip to the mall. It's the only decent place in there lol
Always love the food from here. Country pad thai and the crab fried rice is my go to!
Was visiting Iowa from NYC. Had their beef basif fried rice and it was one of the best. Very flavorful and what I loved the most is that they use ground beef, so you are getting beef in every bite.
It’s delicious!
Great food, quick service. Drinks limited to pop and water. Mall smells like cleaning products and is mostly empty. Good value
Best Pad Thai in Iowa!!!!
Awesome food and service!
A hidden gem in Northern Central Iowa. Very lucky to have this place. All the flavor, huge portions, lovely couple running the show. Highly recommend!
Love this place. Food is great, portions are more then enough, the owner is very friendly and does much of the work himself. This is one of those hidden gems!
Awesome food! I’ll definitely be going back and recommending it to everyone! Food was so flavorful.

It's ok..
Excellent food, the best Asian cuisine I've had in the North Iowa area. Authentic and Everything is prepared hot and fresh right in their kitchen; nothing comes in processed or pre-made and I can definitely tell. Also great service and friendly. So glad to have them a part of the community!
Absolutely wonderful place. Everything is made fresh right in front of you. You don't have to worry about dried out rice or everything tasting the same like some buffets or Asian/Thai place. I highly recommend making the walk into the mall for this.
Great food and amazing service!!!
Amazing food. Great pricing. Wonderful cook.
On our dinner menu almost EVERY WEEK. My husband and I eat here all the time and have always had a delicious experience! Best pad thai there is, delicious & crispy crab rangoons, and authentic aromatics and flavors added to every dish. The family who owns this business are always very kind. Please stay here awhile- we love your food!!
Thank you for staying open when everything else in that mall has closed! You made our evening!
The Basil wings are to die for 5 stars the noodles were delicious also best kept secret in Mason City 💯
The food here yesterday, Crazy Noodles, was delicious. The people were very friendly and suggested my menu choice. I like the fresh items that went in to my meal and the sauce pulled it all together. A great introduction to Thai food.
Only had the egg rolls and crab Rangoon but they were so GOOD.... definitely will be going back to try more stuff...worth the trip to the sad mall....
New favorite place to grab a bite.
Great food, one of our favorite places in town to get lunch. Quick service as well.
Fresh ingredients. Great portion sizes. The flavor is out of this world. Always on my restaurant suggestion list for people visiting Mason City. Cannot choose just one menu item to rave about because they are all great, but their soups are the real deal, not watered down broth with no flavor. And the family is the best, friendly and always aiming to please.
Very good, this place is a hidden gem, that needs to be found! They have a huge variety, of choices all cooked fresh after you order. I highly recommend this place. Don't sleep on the Pad Thai Express!
Good food, fast and hot, not too high price. Nice to see more stuff in the mall.
So yummy!!!
Delicious and fast. I ordered crazy noodles with tofu.
Their basil and house rice are my favorite! They are always so nice when I go there and the food is always so yummy!!
We always stop here when we are in Mason City! So good......
Haven't ate here enough to really say. But I would try again.
Absolutely delicious every time!
Phenomenal food great service no joke and yes try the soup its awsome it's cheap and good portions too
Great flavor and great portions!! We will be back!
Their food is so good I keep going back for more I love it I just can't get enough of this food if you like Thai food this is for you
Wonderful staff and great food.
So good even the leftover was good the next day!
Definitely the best place in town. The food is great and the owners are splendid, totally recommend!
Best Pad Thai ever!
Really good food 100% recommend
The best pad thai in town! The owners are sweet people too! Definitely a great place to get some quick, delicious food, especially if you're tired of mason city's fast food selection. Average wait time for your food is only a few minutes. And since it's in the food court, there's plenty of places to sit and eat if you're into that.
Awesome 👌
Amazing food!
Really good food all the way around.
Fast, fresh, fantastic Thai food with pleasant staff!
A little tricky to find but totally worth the hunt! It’s in the mall near one of the entrances. Hands down our favorite restaurant we have discovered so far. We plan to visit again soon. My family loved the lo mein, garlic Thai dish, veggie spring rolls, and egg drop soup. Generous servings and you can chose your protein, so it was perfect for us as vegetarians. They definitely know how to cook tofu here 🤩. Highly recommend! Everything is cooked fresh.
The best food I have had in 5 years will be my new favourite place Definitely will go back again
Good food and fast service.
Fast, fresh, fantastic Thai food! Love the spicy drunken noodles.
Best Thai restaurant in Mason. Selection is endless, staff are nice, food is great. I appreciated the foil covered styrofoam containers since everything is super hot!
Spicy Basil Wing 10/10.
Drunken Noodles 7/10, could have more basil, spice and flavor.
Overall I’m returning if I’m hungray.
Friendly staff with great food & good prices!
Thee best Thai food I have ever had. Full stop.
Seasoned to perfection, ample portions, friendly staff - what's more to like? Pad Thai Express in the mall's food court is a must visit for any foody who enjoys Thai in Mason City.
This place has some AMAZING food! The orange and sesame chicken is out of this world.
Awesome food, Friendly staff. Very quick and delicious. Will be going back for sure.
