Mai Bistro

Great, local spot. Family owned and operated. They always make my family feel welcome. Food is excellent. The Chef does a variety of great ceviche on special. The Argentine style steak and deep fried whole sea bass are a must.

I went with my boyfriend, I tried the strawberry margarita and it was excellent, we ordered several appetizers, we loved the salmon ceviche, the fried chicken was very tasty, and the shrimp tacos were exquisite, we will definitely come back, highly recommended!

The restaurant looks fancy inside, it is well maintained and staff were friendly. When it comes to the food, it was nothing special and was not tasty at all. The food portion was ok, prices are ok, it's just lacking flavour and taste. On the overview it says Pan Asian dishes with Latin flourishes, however, they may have stretched their dishes as they do have a lot of items in the menu, but nothing stands out. I ordered their Vietnamese style pork tacos and I wasn't happy or satisfied. There were too much chopped cabbage and not enough pork on it. I don't think we'll be back.

Hidden gem! Wasn’t busy when I came through and I loved the food. Good vegan and vegetarian menu and plenty of low carb options as well. I had the calamari and the taco salad and found both to be delicious. South American Asian fusion is such a great blend.

The chef did an amazing job blending his experience in South America into these Asian-inspired dishes, turning the tried and true fares into something outstanding and unexpected. The tuna ceviche was made with a mix of Vietnamese seasoning that elevated it into something unusual. The grilled calamari was served with a fresh salad and a delicate dressing. The squids were grilled to perfection. The watercress and beef salad was one of my favourites. The subtle hint of radish blended beautifully with the sweetness of watercress, and the nicely seasoned steak strips just took the salad to a different level. The jerk tilapia was served with a mango sauce and an Asian slaw. The taste was so on point and the fish was so tender, no wonder it is one of their signature dishes. What a delightful discovery, will come back again! 2025/03 Edit: We went back to the restaurant, and it was wonderful as before. The Vietnamese BBQ pork fresh rolls were a delightful blend of flavours and texture. The seared tuna was outstanding.

I absolutely love the food here! Always consistent, enjoyable and delicious! It's such a pleasant experience every time! Everything on their menu is authentic, super fresh and full of flavour. Without a doubt, you will not be disappointed! From their sauces to their hand cut fries and homemade desserts, I love how everything is made from scratch and with such passion. All their dishes are creative and perfectly balanced. I like that they offer specials to keep things interesting. If you're lucky, the chef will come out to say hello. Here are some dishes I highly recommend: Small Tapas: - Grilled/Fried Calamari - Grilled Portebella - Karaage - Mai Hand Cut Fries - Shrimp Ceviche - Green Mango Salad - Grilled Thai Beef Salad Large Tapas - Grilled Argentina Steak - Grilled Lemongrass Pork - Grilled Fish Tacos You definitely don't want to leave without trying their dessert so be sure to save some room and thank me later! They have 2 options: Tres Leches and Japanese Cheesecake. Both are so velvety, satisfying and irresistibly good; also made in house. Can't go wrong with either or! 🍰

It has been a while since I went to Mai Bistro because of the pandemic but I remember how much I enjoyed their steak. My friend and I decided to have dinner at this restaurant. To start with, we had grilled portabello mushroom with goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes served with green salad with ginger dressing. For the main course we ordered Grilled Argentina style steak, chimichurri butter and hand cut fries.  I asked if it is possible to substitute fries with green salad  and my request was nicely accommodated. The steak was so flavourful, seasoned well, tender and cooked to perfection. The chimichurri added to the steak just made it more delightful to the palate. The hand fries was so good and not oily my friend finished them. The dressing of the green salad was so light and tasted so good. For dessert we had tres leches cake topped with whipped cream and pomegranate. It was soft, moist, not so sweet and so delicious. The staff, Rachel provided excellent customer service. The restaurant is clean, the fork and knife wrapped in fabric napkins which I seldom see in small restaurants. Mai Bistro serves food so tasteful that we will surely go back to this restaurant to try other menus. The Chef does an amazing job doing Asian food with Latin flavour, such excellent fusion cuisine. Update: We just keep going back to this place. This time they had the special of Salmon Ceviche which was a heavenly delight. The salmon was so fresh, salted and marinated in citrus juice and served over crispy fish cracker. I had it with Watermelon Margarita which made for a perfect pairing.

We were anticipating our visit to Mai Bistro for a while and we were not disappointed. Cozy atmosphere, nice decor and an unobstructed view of the wonderfully creative chef and kitchen. The tapas we tried were presented beautifully and tasted fantastic. We had the chipotle Tiger shrimp and the grilled steak tacos as a main course and they were delicious. We finished off the meal with a light and fluffy Japanese Cheesecake which was perfect. We will return.
