Mai Lee - Réserver une table

Mai Lee: A Flavorful Journey to East Asian Cuisine Rating: 4/5 stars, Good A Vietnamese and Chinese culinary haven tucked away at 8396 MUSICK MEMORIAL DRIVE. Decor: Understated Simplicity Walking into Mai Lee, you might feel like someone decided to furnish the restaurant with the most standard of tables, wallpaper, and flooring. It 's an unpretentious, no frills setting where the focus is undoubtedly on the food. ‍ Service: Unassuming Efficiency Service here is straightforward you 're greeted, your orders are taken, and beyond that, it 's a bit of a solo journey. While it 's not the pinnacle of personalized service, it efficiently ensures you 're here for one thing: the food. Food: A Flavorful Delight ️ Mai Lee came highly recommended, especially for their pho and Vietnamese cuisine. And I concur. In a city where genuinely flavorful East Asian dishes can be a rarity, Mai Lee delivers. For my culinary vetting, I opted for the Pad Thai. Typically my go to for assessing an eatery, it exceeded expectations. The Thai style rice noodles, stir fried with a medley of beef, chicken, shrimp, and assorted vegetables, topped with peanuts and served with fish sauce, were a symphony of flavors. My girlfriend ventured for #60: Bun Xao Rau Cai vermicelli noodles crowned with a stir fried mix of vegetables and crushed peanuts bathed in a sate sauce. Both dishes held their own in the realm of taste and authenticity. Night 's Highlight: Meeting a Saint Louis Legend As if the scrumptious food wasn 't enough, our evening was elevated by the presence of the fantastic Nikki Glaser, a true Saint Louis treasure. We couldn 't resist playfully Lady and the Tramp ing our way through our meal while in the presence of comedy royalty. Mai Lee may not bedazzle you with fancy decor or lavish service, but it 's a place where flavor reigns supreme. For those seeking a genuine East Asian culinary journey in STL, this unassuming gem is worth a visit. With delightful dishes that hit all the right notes, it 's an experience that 'll leave your taste buds singing. If you have more reviews or questions, feel free to ask!

Mixed reviews- food is good- service is NOT. They put a forced gratuity in a party of FIVE- this must be something new as typically a forced gratuity occurs for parties of six or more. We did not like our service- waiter didn 't come around too often and forgot to bring iced tea. We had to flag him down many times to get more napkins, and an extra bowl to share our Pho soup with my kids. When I asked the front desk about the forced gratuity, I was shown that it was a policy on the menu- which ok- I didn 't know that. But then, the manager asked why I didn 't feel the forced gratuity if 18% was satisfactory and I mentioned above all the actions that gave me discontent. And then the manager was like- well, I 'd you really want me to, I can take off the forced gratuity in rhetorical way. And I said, Yes, please. I wasn 't happy with the service so therefore I don 't think 18% gratuity was earned . I felt like the manager was making ME feel bad about asking the forced gratuity to be taken off. NOT ok. Keep in mind that I supported this restaurant a LOT during the pandemic- like 2 times a week- Always giving tips for takeout even when they messed up my order so I am DONE giving tips for poor service.

I spent $50 on the worst food I have ever eaten. How do you get away with serving such nasty food? How do you mess up chicken wings? The moment I opened the box I knew I had messed up by buying that food. We had the Canh Ga Chien Nuoc Mam (fried chicken wings with stir fried onion in fish sauce). The chicken had NO flour they are naked wings and the menu should say fried naked wings, I hate nake fried wings and I wouldn 't have ordered them. Next the plain egg fu young and gravy was just disgusting horribly disgusting. The spring rolls were the only decent food. They should be ashamed of yourself serving such disgusting food. Just plain nasty.

The restaurant was filled with friendly faces. The customer service was attentive and nice. I had the Pho Ga (Chicken breast and rice noodles in beef broth). It was flavorful but not the best in the city of St Louis.
