Mai's Spicy Kitchen — Restaurant in Chesterfield Township

I have been to Mai's about 10 times now. The first time I got Pad Thai, because if that isn't good, then the rest probably won't be either. It was AWESOME. Each time, I've done either Pad Thai, Pad Ped, Curry Noodles, or fried rice. All have been awesome, except for once. Last time the Pad Thai left me....disappointed. It just wasn't as good as usual. I'll be going back because I believe it was an anomaly.

Spiceyness. Hard to judge. I get Medium+, and that is plenty spicey for me, but I know people that would consider it bland. Thst is something onr needs to experiment with, just like at every Thai place I've been to

Service is always top-notch at the counter. Very friendly.

Atmosphere? Well, there are 2 or 3 tables, really no atmosphere, but the place...

I ordered my favorite dish, pad Thai, $15.50 I asked for additional bean sprouts, $1.00, see the dry bean sprouts tossed on top.. I also chose shrimp, $3.00 more for 7 bottle cap size shrimps, which is odd to pay more for because this dish naturally comes with shrimp. Medium spice. For $16.43 out the door the portion was smaller than most places. This is also the first time out of a million I’ve had pad Thai that was drowning in very soupy sauce, let alone any liquid. Interesting, It leaked out of the container and got all over. The container is very thin as well, and flimsy. Also recommend pouring into a dish when you get home which is a nice inconvenience to take out. The staff were friendly and professional. Parking is very limited and hard to find at 2pm...

I love this place. I've eaten so much Thai food from so many places and everything I've ever eaten from this place is solid. I frequent the basil fried rice, drunken noodles, and pad thai. Their Pad See Ew is ridiculously good and so craveable. I never wanted to try it because it only has broccoli and egg, but it doesn't even matter. Vegetables are always fresh and cut perfectly for the noodle dishes. I usually order hot, but I'd say in general, their spice levels run a little hotter than other places in the area. "Spicy" is in the name for a reason. They also have a rewards program which I've taken advantage of twice: every 10th entree is free with their punch card. I'm very lucky that this is the closest Thai restaurant to...
