Founded in 1983 in Shinanomachi, Mae Yau is a Thai restaurant that has long captivated curry lovers and spice enthusiasts. Its signature dish, Mae Yau curry, features tender bone-in chicken, large potatoes, and a boiled egg simmered in a roux where stimulating spiciness meets the mellow richness of coconut milk for a deeply satisfying meal. A classic dining tradition here is ordering it as a set with Thai-style braised beef tendon noodles made with rice noodles in a gentle dashi-infused broth, savoring the delightful contrast between vibrant heat and clean umami. Condiments like chili peppers and nam pla fish sauce are set on the tables, allowing guests to customize the flavors to their liking. With counter seating and remarkably fast service, it is also an ideal spot to casually enjoy authentic flavors during a solo lunch break.
