Very happening place and excellent food near to Prospect Park and on our way back from Brooklyn Bridge.

I am visiting Quebec city and my wife is craving Asian food and we get to this place 1h15 before closing time. I got turned back because they had a lot of people and they are closing early. A business should honor their business hours. It's not a question of being entitled but abiding by your own rules. There is a difference between demanding a seat when the restaurant is full (entitled) and getting denied service. I applaude the owners for serving great food and I won't have time to do the same since I will be busy fighting for the rights of children that have been violated.

I highly recommend dining at this restaurant. The service was very good and quick, while the food was absolutely delicious with a delightful presentation. Our waiter was also very polite and cheerful. I ordered the table d'hôte, including vegetable soup, imperial rolls, tofu with vegetables and crispy noodles as the main dish, finishing off with tea (I declined the included dessert). Meanwhile, my husband ordered the table d'hôte with peanut butter chicken with crispy spinach as the main dish. He also really enjoyed the fried banana dessert.

A classic Thai restaurant which at first glance does not catch the eye with the beauty of the building but which serves tasty and affordable dishes! Tour is table dhôte formula with soup, imperial roll and dessert! There is even tea and coffee included! It s a BYOB! Although prices increase over time, it is a place that remains affordable and unpretentious!

★★
September 22, 2024

Average experience and ultimately disappointing. The dishes are uneven. Hairs on a plate. Some unpleasant-smelling vegetables. The tofu noodles and general tao chicken were old. Sauces far from the standards of Vietnamese cuisine. Service like the dishes. No effort to accommodate when asked to serve the crispy noodles without toppings. Almost no noodles in one of the small soups, portions of rice too small... all this with unattentive service. Expensive for what it is.

The best Asian cuisine I have ever had, everything was really tasty, the soup and the little roll I ordered a second one. Im a fan of general tao chicken. The best I have ever eaten just a little breading with very well seasoned fresh chicken with generous portion, dessert was excellent. The service is fast and the dishes arrive hot. The prices are more than reasonable, we ate a very good meal for around the price of a fast food restaurant for lunch. I highly recommend thank you Mai Tram.

We love oriental cuisine and decided to have lunch here. When you walk down the street and see people eating there, you want to go in. We came in. After 6 pm. There were a lot of people and it was noisy. The service is quite fast. The staff is friendly. The prices are very reasonable, but I didnt like the food at all. We took three different dishes with chicken and tofu. All three dishes taste about the same and are all equally sweet. I didnt want to take a photo.

My partner and I have been going to Mai Tram several times...the food is always excellent...the employees are friendly....I was at Mai Tram (March 2 at 7:00 p.m.) and believe me the restaurant was packed which proves beyond any doubt the success of this restaurant I recommend it without hesitation However, I must apologize because I am a fan of dark humor and unfortunately a charming waitress heard me make this joke in bad taste in front of my partner and which caused a misunderstanding So....I, Patrick Fecteau, ask for forgiveness for this ill-placed joke and that it has nothing to do with my feelings towards this magnificent restaurant.

The Mai tram is well known to Limoulois! Its really a go-to for eating an Asian meal with the family and you can bring your own wine! The food is really delicious. In terms of service, it often happens that the waiters do not speak French. When its very busy you can wait a long time for your meal, but with a good bottle of wine and good company, time flies and you dont really notice it. I recommend the curried beef.

The welcome was excellent The meal is delicious, really good value for money. My only downside was that the restaurant was full because there was a show at the Videotron center that evening. We will say that the staff and particularly in the kitchen were too much at the same time. My spring roll was a little burnt probably because there was a rush in the kitchen. Thanks to the girl on the floor who seemed in charge of everything and was clearly overwhelmed. Despite everything it was very good, the staff was courteous. I will definitely go back.

December 22, 2022

My order for takeaway: the salad was stained black, the crispy noodles directly in the bottom of the bag and the ingredient containers on top, no cleanliness. My dessert was missing. I wont go back again.
