Mai's Cafe & Bistro

Mai's is located on what almost appears to be a side street, which has a cluster of quaint shops, a pub, and this great little place. Inside there are seats for 30, and it's small in size but big in ambience. The server was friendly, prompt, and greeted regulars like old friends, even remembering one couple who apparently hadn't been in in a while. I had the green curry with chicken, which comes with a portion of jasmine rice. The curry is like a soup with broccoli, carrots, onion, green beans, and Thai basil. It's fragrant and very tasty. I have had this particular dish all over the place (Toronto, Owen Sound, Orillia, Orangeville, Edmonton) and this is easily the best. I generally like to mix the rice into the curry and did the same here. I ordered some chicken pad Thai to take with me for dinner later and I anticipate it will be just as yummy. I highly recommend Mai's and shall definitely return next time I'm in London.

EDIT: AUTHENTIC. Their chicken fried rice is amazing. Freshly cooked to perfection and lots of amazing spices. I requested that they make it spicy, and they did not disappoint! Gave me an amazing chilli sauce to go with the rice! Friendly customer service and the vibe is very calming and relaxing with soothing music playing inside. Definitely going to be back to try out the Thai curry and pad Thai Unfortunately appetizers were too bland for my taste…. But I will come back to try the pad Thai and Thai curries. Dine-in is peaceful and I love the location. Employee is friendly and the restaurant has an overall calming vibe.

My bookkeeper took me here for a business lunch. It is very small inside with only room for about 20 people at 5 tables. It is always packed because the food is AMAZING! We started with the appetizer spring rolls - delicious. Next we enjoyed the chicken and seafood Pad Thai. It was simply amazing and the portion was very large. We both are large men and could only get through half of it. Fortunately, they boxed it up so we can take it home and enjoy it later. For only $14 per plate, it was unbelievable. I will certainly eat here again and further I plan to use it for take out when we work late and don't have time to make dinner! Try it, you will love it! One of Wortley Village's best kept secrets.
