Review Summary

Chez Mai Lai is frequently praised for its delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine, featuring generous portions and excellent value for the price. Most customers appreciate the fast and efficient service, noting that the staff is often friendly and welcoming. While many diners enjoy the classic casual atmosphere and consistent quality of the food, some experiences have been marred by reports of an overly rushed service pace, discomfort in the dining area, and occasional cleanliness concerns. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking quick and affordable meals, though opinions on the consistency of the service and the atmosphere are clearly divided.

Soupe thaï délicieuse (mais il faut la demander & payer un petit supplément) & j'adore le cari de crevettes. Portions généreuses. Service expéditif, mais quand même agréablement surprise.

Aménagement "rustique" & service efficace. Qualité supérieure de la nourriture & de généreuses portions. Un des meilleurs rapports qualité/prix à Québec. On peut y apportez sa boisson (vin, etc.). Leur "Combo" pour deux personnes (voir photo) est un incontournable. Équivalent pour la cuisine asiatique du "Buffet de l'antiquaire" sur St-Paul pour la cuisine québécoise. Une perle que seul les locaux connaissent...& c'est bien ainsi.

Petit Restaurant familial très accueillant, les propriétaires sont adorables & la nourriture excellente ! Les portions sont plus que généreuses pour le prix. Ne vous fiez pas à l'apparence des lieux pour juger car vous pourriez passer à côté d'un agréable moment !
