Maitai - Melbourne

"The best Thai food I have ever tried. The flavors were authentic, the service was fast, and the prices were great. I can't wait to go back again!"

I absolutely adored this restaurant. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the food was delicious and served promptly. I will definitely be coming back again and again.

I recently ordered takeout from this restaurant and was given a menu to make my selection. I chose a seasonal dish without asking about the price, only to find out it was twice as expensive as anything else on the menu. Despite my shock, I decided to proceed with the order and was told it would take 15 minutes to cook. However, I was then informed that it would actually take another 15 minutes. When I tried to cancel my order, the staff did not seem to understand. Eventually, my meal arrived after several delays. I had ordered steamed barramundi with ginger shallots and steamed rice, but received a whole fish that needed to be deboned. Although the food was good, the overall experience left me hesitant to return. The restaurant had pleasant decor, but the music was not to my liking and the staff were inconsistent.

Asian mixed menu. The ordered food was all good and the prices are definitely fair. The service is brisk and very friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant looks a bit worn and after you have seen the toilets it looks dingy. The food would get 4 points but since the eye eats too, there are only 3.

Ordered takeaway here recently - was handed a menu, made my selection -a seasonal dish, & stupidly didn't ask the price. It turned out to be twice the price of anything else on the menu! I was so shocked that I lost my voice, thought, oh well, I don't do this every day, & handed my money over. Then I was told it would be a 15 minute wait while they cooked it. Frustrating to someone in a hurry... Then 5 minutes later I was told it would take another 15 minutes. I asked if I could retract my order, which the staff conveniently or otherwise didn't seem to understand. I resigned myself to my general stupidity, and waited. After the 3rd person told me it would be another 15 minutes, I was ready to walk out, but my meal then as if by magic, appeared. I had ordered steamed barramundi with ginger &shallots, & some steamed rice. It turned out to be a whole fish that needed deboning -not an easy task as a takeaway dish! It was pretty good, but would I return? Probably not. Decor was pleasant, music was, IMO, awful. Staff variable.
