Affordable Cantonese CuisineRenton, Seattle | Mai Place Asian Bistro

📍 Name: Mai Place Asian Bistro 📍 Address: 3152 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton, WA 98056 Fresh seafood, traditional cooking methods, and budget-friendly prices! Six of us enjoyed a full table of dishes plus a live fish, and the per-person cost (including tax and tip) was only $55! We even got a complimentary plate of watermelon 🍉 after the meal. 🌟 Must-Try Dishes: 1️⃣ Steamed Mouse Grouper: Perfectly cooked—the fish was so tender it fell apart at the touch of chopsticks. Sweet and fresh with no fishy taste, and the roe was a bonus! 2️⃣ Garlic Steamed Razor Clams: Huge clams served in a generous portion. Classic garlic preparation, with thick, satisfying meat. The vermicelli soaked up all the delicious juices! 3️⃣ Five-Spice Duck: The MVP of the meal! Richly savory with a sweet-salty balance, reminiscent of traditional Shanghai braised duck—irresistible 🦆. 4️⃣ Roasted Pigeon & Sweet Potato Leaves (forgot to take a photo): Crispy-skinned pigeon with tender meat, and fresh, flavorful sweet potato leaves. ⚠️ Dishes to Skip: ▫️ Mapo Tofu ❌ Tasted like Americanized Chinese food—neither spicy nor aromatic. ▫️ Salt-and-Pepper Chicken Wings 🍗 Average; better to focus on their seafood. Ambiance: Packed during peak hours (reservations recommended!). A lively spot for everything from family gatherings to casual hangouts, full of energy 🔥. #SeattleLife #Seattle #SeattleFood #CantoneseCuisine #RentonEats #SeattleFoodReview #SeattleDaily #RestaurantShare
