Reviews for Mai Bistro in Etobicoke, ON
Not sure my grandmother knows how to do this so I want to leave a review on her behalf. She goes here at least once a week, it?s... her absolute favourite restaurant. I?ve been with her a few times and I 100% understand why. The people are so friendly and thefood is great. I recommend looking up the specials ahead of time and reserving what you like because they often sell out. Read more
Amazing food. Great service. Quite place. We had grilled octopus, grilled portobello mushroom with goat cheese and dried prunes,... shrimp tacos, tres leche cake. Everything was wonderful. Tacos could use a bit more flavour Read more
Mai Bistro is a pleasant place to sit and share a meal with friends and family. The menu can be a little overwhelming to look... at and read through if it's your first time there, especially if you are not familiar with this type of food. There are photosof some of their dishes on their Facebook page so head over there if you need a visual of what you're ordering before youorder. We tried three dishes while we were there: Chicken Pad Thai, Fish Tacos and Crispy Seabass Fillet. The star of the daywas the Chicken Pad Thai (which was the dish my husband chose). Possibly the best pad Thai I have ever had. Super flavourful andmore than enough to leave you comfortably full. The fish tacos were good, however, I felt that the portions of fish in them werequite small and that for the price of the dish that fries or a side of some kind should have been included. Luckily, hubbyshared his Pad Thai. The seabass fillet and chips was decent - cooked well, but would have preferred the fillet be skinless andthen breaded. Fries were good. The mango salsa and slaw were really good and really added to the dish. Overall, the servicespeed was adequate and the waitress was a sweetheart. Oh, not sure if there's a bathroom here or not, but hubby looked for onebriefly and couldn't find it. If there is one, better signage would help wandering customers to locate the washroom in thefuture. Would definitely return to eat here again! Read more
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! Fromtheir 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'relucky, 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 theirdessert so be sure to save some room and thank me later! They have 2 options: Tres Leches and Japanese Cheesecake. Both are sovelvety, satisfying and irresistibly good; also made in house. Can't go wrong with either or! ???? Read more
Yummy, fantastic food presentation and reasonably priced. We stayed with our restless toddler at the patio and they helped him... settle down with complimentary rice and hugs! We had shrimp ceviche, grilled fish tacos, green mango salad, medium rare beefsalad & tres leches cake. All for under $70. Read more
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 sundried 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 wasnicely accommodated. The steak was so flavourful, seasoned well, tender and cooked to perfection. The chimichurri added to thesteak just made it more delightful to the palate. The hand fries was so good and not oily my friend finished them. The dressingof the green salad was so light and tasted so good. For dessert we had tres leches cake topped with whipped cream andpomegranate. It was soft, moist, not so sweet and so delicious. The staff, Rachel provided excellent customer service. Therestaurant is clean, the fork and knife wrapped in fabric napkins which I seldom see in small restaurants. Mai Bistro servesfood so tasteful that we will surely go back to this restaurant to try other menus. The Chef does an amazing job doing Asianfood with Latin flavour, such excellent fusion cuisine. Update: We just keep going back to this place. This time they had thespecial of Salmon Ceviche which was a heavenly delight. The salmon was so fresh, salted and marinated in citrus juice and servedover crispy fish cracker. I had it with Watermelon Margarita which made for a perfect pairing. Read more
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 tastedfantastic. We had the chipotle Tiger shrimp and the grilled steak tacos as a main course and they were delicious. We finishedoff the meal with a light and fluffy Japanese Cheesecake which was perfect. We will return. Read more
I came here with a group of coworkers about a couple of weeks ago and the food and service was great! The tofu steaks are super... flavorful! I love regular tofu already, but this was actually meaty tasting because of the type of tofu that they use! Mycoworkers loved the seafood! Even the chips and salsa were delicious! They taste like the chips and salsa I'd get in a goodMexican restaurant on southern California. The servers were so nice and patient will all of us having trouble making up ourminds! I'm looking forward to going back! Read more
