The noodle dishes here are affordable, have amazing flavor and they taste clean/high quality. The staff is so friendly and attentive.

I got the drunken noodles with beef ($15). They were delicious, but not too spicy. They had a really pleasant heat to them and the noodles were nice and soft. The beef was marinated in a really tasty sauce, but the pieces were a little on the chewy side.

Their pad Thai was perfect ($15). Amazing chewy noodles, lovely peanut flavor and just a dish you can’t go wrong with.

Really good portions for the prices paid and a chill atmosphere.

We discovered this restaurant just today. The food was absolutely impressive. We are used to ordering scallion pancakes and steamed dumplings and pad thai at a different restaurant we've been frequenting for 25 years in another town, however Mai Thai Cuisine's food is far superior. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos at the beginning of the meal so what you've got are photos from the middle of the meal. The service was excellent, the restaurant is nicely decorated and not overdone, and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be going back.

We googled Asian food and picked this place because my kids and I enjoy Thai food and we’d never been here before. The Mai Thai rice and teriyaki wings were so good, we ordered more of each! The appetite of a 16 y/o boy and 9 y/o girl is huge! The wings were served in a tin lined with paper and some paper; some ended up in my daughter’s mouth when she tried scooping up some of the sauce. The wings could’ve definitely used more sauce; we asked for more on the 2nd order. Thee wings served with slightly stir fried veggies- nice touch! We tried the Golden Bags (fried wontons with cream cheese, cilantro and imitation crab meat)- these were just ok, the kids didn’t care for them. Lots more cream cheese than your regular Crab Rangoons. I thought they were tasty with the sweet and sour sauce, but couldn’t finish the last one (2 was plenty). The steamed Thai dumplings were different (see pic) -they are open on top which makes them great for the thick soy sauce. They are served with (lots of) toasted bits of garlic so beware if you’re not a big garlic fan. I look forward to returning to try some of the entrees. The food we had and all of the food being served, looked and smelled delicious! The service was a bit slow likely due to being low staffed. We only saw 2 women the whole night. Seemed like a lot of locals visit this restaurant; we saw one customer come in with a Valentine’s Day gift for the staff who instantly recognized him. We didn’t have a reservation and showed up at 5:30ish and there were plenty of tables (waited to be seated) and watched the place moderately fill up. The kids give it 1.5 thumbs up. It was pretty good they said.

Mai Thai was one of my favorite restaurants, they are usually good with the food quality. But yesterday the way I got my meal was very disappointing. I have ordered chicken Pad Thai noodles and I found raw chicken pieces. I gave them a call and informed about what I found. She was sorry, and offered me the same dish again for no charge including an appetizer of my choice on the house. Unfortunately, I found raw chicken pieces again. So, I thought there is no point in informing again. Hence am posting this review. I don't know if they used same chopping board for chicken and peanuts or same gloves. It's absolutely their responsibility to maintain hygiene. Especially in current situation i cannot afford to get sick.

Response for owners reply:
Hi,
Firstly, I know the difference between turnip and a chicken and this is not first time for me to eat padthai. I explained to you in person that when I cooked the raw meet which I found is the dish, and it turned white, and it's chicken. Though you gave me a second dish it does change the facts of what I found. I expected that you would check before giving me second time. If you still feel it's turnip, please refer the images I have provided in my initial review. Anyways, I am not interested in arguing, I usually like to mention what I feel and find in my reviews. Happy 5th anniversary and good luck.

It was our first time eating at Mai Thai. The restaurant has plenty of seating, comfortable booths, and everything is clean. The menu offers lots of authentic and delicious items, including Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. We ordered two mock-tails (I can’t drink, and my fiance just thought it sounded good), with ginger ale, and various fruit juices. The drinks were great! We ordered the baby shrimp rolls for an appetizer. They are very small but a plate of them is enough to share. For our entrees, we ordered the Pad Thai and the Ocean Fried Rice. The plates were large and the amount of food was enough for two meals, depending on how much you eat. The Pad Thai was delicious and the Ocean Fried Rice was some of the best Thai I’ve had in Rhode Island, so far. The service was good. Our waitress was fairly attentive and took a last minute request for a drink change, which we sincerely appreciated. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the mood for Thai. I don’t think you can go wrong here.

Bonus: There’s a soft-serve spot right next door!

Waited for ten minute at the counter for my pick up order while the women watched tv on her phone in the back cause you can see them. Finally gave me my food after I had to yell to them I was waiting. Got my food and didn’t included any sauces ans utensils. Terrible experience won’t be back food was average.
