Live Mon (Thai-Malay Restaurant)

Ervin Altenwerth

If you’re in Akron, don’t miss Live Mon! 🍜 Nestled on Brittain Rd, this cozy Thai-Malay restaurant serves up comfort food with a healthy twist. I loved the Green Curry and their Pad Thai was simply divine! The small plates were perfect for sharing.

The casual atmosphere makes it ideal for groups or solo dining. Plus, the accessibility features are impressive! With free parking and a welcoming vibe, I can't recommend it enough for a casual meal or a relaxed dinner... Will definitely be back for more! 🌟

This dining area is CLEAN! The atmosphere is very nice and calming.
I have had it on 4 separate occasions and have enjoyed each visit.
The main women whom I have had greet me and take my order and bring it to the table every visit is very nice, but sometimes it seemed like we were not ordering quickly enough for her.
I could interpret it as a possible language barrier.
However, she is pleasant.

Food was authentic and delicious.
Waitress was amazing.
10/10 will recommend.
We got the fried dumplings and Malay tempura shrimp as app.
They were 10/10.
And got some noodles dishes.
Also 10/10.
Also prices were great for how much food we got!

Food was hot and portions good.
Orange chicken was ok it was very light on flavor but smelled great, yellow curry w/ chicken was also good and came with no spice so I added some myself.
Tom kha Kai soup w/chicken is really good and probably my favorite I did order without mushrooms due to allergies.
Crab Rangoons were more of a dessert and tasted like a cinnamon cream cheese filling like Taco Bell’s Cinnabons.
Not bad just unexpected.
Spring rolls were ok. Tried ordering over the phone to clarify food allergies (wish we could substitute veggies).
Also, questions about the noodle dishes.
Really hard to understand the other end over the phone the volume is so low.
But every place I’ve been the Singapore noodle is a curry seasoned noodle and I was told they are just dry with no added sauce/seasoning.
Asked if they have any curry noodle and was told no tho the online menu lists curry noodles?? I asked if ANY noodle dish had a sauce/seasoning or something other than dry fried noodle and was told no I would have to order the curry rice dish.
Any description would be nice other than the meat and veggies being listed and being told to read the menu is not helping for one I have a printed menu that is not accurate to the online listed menu which I found 3 different versions of.
Would’ve loved to try the dessert sticky rice and custard but doubt they have that since most of the menu’s I’ve found don’t list it as available either. Overall probably won’t go out of our way again to try this place mostly due to communication issues.

Very quiet and the service is inattentive, but the food is very fresh and tasty.
Their curry and pho is very good.
The crab Rangoons were strange though, they were runnier and sweet? There was cinnamon in them.
Strange but not bad
