Mai Asia Restaurant — Restaurant in Tualatin

Diners beware.....

This has been the very worst experience I had ever had dining out in my life. This past Friday, my family and I travel down to Woodburn to do some shopping. we are from the Seattle area. On our way back we stopped by Mai Asia restaurant for dinner before heading back up. We ordered 2 appetizers and 3 main courses. Mine was the BBQ pork and egg-roll noodle. When the food arrived, I noticed that the egg-roll was under cooked. It has pork meat inside and consuming raw pork can be detrimental to your health. I reported to the establishment and subsequently got two replacement. Unfortunately, the replacements were also under cooked. I reported again and let it go. We just did not consume them. After we paid the bill (standard 15% gratuity was included) we proceeded to go outside to travel back home. As we walked past the counter, the older gentleman, who I assume was the short cook, decided to let us know how he really feel. Verbatim," You F_ _ ing Vietnamese guys you do nothing but complaint. Don't F _ ing coming back here no more. I don't want to F _ _ ing see you guys." He proceeded to say much much more. My family and I decided to just leave. As we were outside, about to enter my car to go home, he came rushing out and unleash many many more of his very colorful vocabulary. I ate. Paid the bill with my hard earn money. And yet still got reprimanded for being a well paid customer. I strong urge all diners to be careful while dining at this establishment. Under-cooked food especially pork can lead to many many complications. And especially if you are dining with your family particularly with younger children......BEWARE of the explicit language. I WOULD NEVER...

This is a fantastic place for Vietnamese food in Tualatin. I have had several items and all are made fresh and with good ingredients. I was a little sceptical at first. I passed by after trying a few other "Asian" restaurants in the area with disappointing results thinking that it would be similarly poor quality but finally I had to try it out. I was blown away by how good it was. You need to go here and put food in your belly. Get the Bun or the curry - the shrimp is fresh and plump with no ammonia taste, the lemongrass beef is savory and the crunchy onion bits add a great zing to the meal. The satay is the only thing that is not up to standards. It has been tough and overcooked but the peanut sauce makes up for it. I think they fry the satay and that would explain it. Salad rolls are great. Tea etc... great. Service is really good. Nice people...

Delicious hole in the wall = my kind of food find. I wandered in with a boyfriend three years ago after we checked out Yelp reviews. I know nothing of "authenticity" for Vietnamese / South East Asian food, but I've come back many, many times, even traveled from an hour away, just to get my regular order of their chicken wings and spicy noodle soup (I call it a Phở, but it might technically not be--whatever its classification, it's "pho-king" delicious. That pork meat loaf + broth is TO DIE FOR). Every time the owner recognizes me, remembers my order, and thanks me for continuing to come in. I've taken two family members and four best friends there on separate occasions, and they order differently than I do (phở bò, salad rolls, stir-fry egg noodles, etc.) and still love their meals just as much! They're also fast, friendly,...
