Chiu Fai — Restaurant in Mayfield

We've been eating at Chui Fai since it opened in Mayfield-- I'd say we ate there almost every week for several years either with the kids, with friends or as carryout. It was always the family favorite when the boys were growing up. We moved in 2014, but 2 of our sons still live in Mayfield. We try to do to-go orders when we are back or driving thru in Mayfield. We've tried many other Asian restaurants, but no other can compare. We love the fried rice, General Tso chicken, sweet & sour chicken & a few other dishes. When we eat in, we do the buffet & love everything, but especially the above, beef & broccoli, chicken on a stick, egg rolls, wonton & egg drop soups, crab Rangoon & more! Staff is always friendly & attentive to our needs.

The only complaint we would have is that they need to update the whole place. It's our opinion that as these stripmall restaurants age, they begin looking dirty, worn out, neglected & not as welcoming. In food service, appearance is key. You must present as very clean & well-maintained. Being a small business, owned by a local family who pours in all their time into their work, makes it challenging to afford big updates, but it's a big need in order to present as a clean, well-run establishment. We know many friends who no longer will eat inside, our daughter-in-law will not eat here at all. She chooses Panda Express for it's appearance of cleanliness & some of their food choices. Having worked at Jasmine's in Murray as a teenager, she has a different view from her experience behind the scenes in Asian...

Wait staff was very polite and friendly. We're were taken to a table immediately. Thank you for that.

Let's get straight to the food! Some of the food here could be so much better. We ate the buffet, and it was real hit and miss with the food. I'm probably going to be a picky food critic because I'm a western kentucky transplant.

With that being said, I felt many of the available options for food contained sauces that were real watered down and had no flavor. Like alot of the different chicken dishes. The flavor was bland or non existent. And that was a disappointment for me. The amount of food selection at the buffet was great. It just could of been so much better in quality. I love any kind of Asian food. This is not a place I personally would choose to frequent. I dont mean any disrespect. But I would like to challenge them constructively, to make some improvements with the food and flavoring. It...

I drive from Paducah to this asian restaurant in Mayfield for 3 reasons: the food is delicious, the service is outstanding & you can get anything you want from the buffet & you pay for it by weight. I get a large quart of wonton soup & pay extra for 8 more wontons in it, I get fried wings, dumplings, baked chicken on a stick, cashew chicken, ham fried rice, beef & broccoli, peel & eat shrimp on ice etc. For less than $25 I can feed a family of 4 or have enough asian food to last me several days. Really good food at a really good price! The ladies at the front who take your credit card are extremely helpful in answering any questions I have & even help me take the food to my vehicle. They are worth every penny of the tip...
