Mai Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Moncton

More like 2.5 but I think the food could be easily improved. We ordered Green Curry with Tofu, General Tso’s Chicken, Pad See Ew with Tofu and Vegetarian Imperial Rolls. First, the green curry was smooth and well balanced, tofu was plentiful and steamed rice was included with meal. It did need some Thai basil. The Imperial Rolls were crispy BUT the filling was chewy. The General Tso’s chicken here is not General Tso’s chicken, sorry, they’re just confused. General Tso’s is my absolute favorite American-Chinese food that I fell in love with over twenty years ago, and in all the years of eating since then, it has never tasted like this. Sadly, the chicken in this sweet and sour sauce tastes good, but 1) it is not General Tso’s, so you’ll be disappointed if that’s what you’re expecting and 2) it’s over half filled with carrots and onions (see my picture). Lastly, let’s review the Pad See Ew, my absolute Favorite Thai meal when it’s made right (in restaurants or when I make it at home). This one was a shame, because the seasoning was pretty good but, 1) the noodles they used are not wide rice noodles, they are the dried thinner version commonly used in Pad Thai so 2) the noodles aren’t chewy like they’re supposed to be because they are, again, not WIDE rice noodles but 3) the noodles were scarce anyway. I included the picture after I had eaten every noodle and you can see, that’s a lot of Bean Sprouts, which are not even supposed to be in Pad See Ew.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in making and eating good Thai, I recommend Tian Phat Asian Grocery store on the Bedford Highway in NS and for lots of ingredients, Veseys seeds for planting your own Thai basil and the website “Hot Thai Kitchen” for lots of Thai recipes and videos, including how to make Wide Rice Noodles. We do it quite often and it is well...

Food, Very AVERAGE.Chinese fried chicken was undercooked and hard. I eat very spicy and salty food, it was over salty for me so you can imagine. Green sauce was alright nothing over the top, the quantity of rice was meager, a very small bowl as compared to the gravy, you will imagine what to do with gravy now, wontons were size of timbits. Beer was ordered and the waiter totally forgot as he was constantly in the kitchen, looks like he is the chef himself, who warms pre cooked food, assembles the dishes and bring out to your table. We were only one at that time in entire restaurant, very poor service. Singapore noodles were disastrous, salted to hell, with no flavors. Please save your money, you can cook much better food yourself at home. Had to ask for sauces, its basic you have to put sauces on the table. Butter shrimps were mediocre too, overall food was not flavourful at all. Decor was good, but it lacks almost everything else to be called a fine dine. Food carts or food courts are better, total money and time wastage. Waiter vanished for entire time, never asked if we needed anything else. Spare yourself this beautiful horror, I say beautiful because decor was good, that's their CATCH but seating position was also on the...

A Superb Meal In a Great Setting for Reasonable Prices. Mai Asian Restaurant is a spacious, well decorated resturant in a convenient location. The Service could not have been better. Natsu was fast, personable and so friendly she even showed us her Instagram account and photos of beautiful places to visit in Thailand! The Coconut shrimp was served piping hot with a crunchy coconut coating and delicious mango dip. (6 shrimp for $8) We shared the Grande Delite which was a combination of perfectly grilled shrimp, chicken and pork on noodles with shredded raw vegetables on the side. The Imperial Roll was a reasonable size and very meaty. The Chocolate mousse was 'Devine' according to my non chocolate-loving wife. Served on a bed of Oreo crumble were layers of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate mousse covered in whipped cream with chocolate dusting..OMG it was good! Overall this was the best Asian food we have found in NB and we are already making plans to return to Moncton, in large part to eat at Mai Asian again!...
