Mai Place Asian Fusion Bistro

[ImportFood]

This place opened up a few months ago in a location where the last two restaurants promptly failed. After noticing a steadily rising number of cars parked there, checked it out recently with my wife and kids. They cater to Chinese clientele and I believe the food is authentic. There are signs in Chinese at the entry and everyone inside was speaking Chinese so this might be "the real thing" in terms of preparation. Most of their tables are round with the lazy susan in the middle, and every table was taken when we were there, so they must be doing something right. It is Hong-Kong style food, and it was quite fresh and tasty to me. They had a special of whole baby birds when we were there but we did not try those. They also serve a lot of duck. I asked about black chicken, something I like quite a lot but don't often find--the guy said no problem if you order in advance. We had a seafood fried rice, seafood noodles and a hot pot. Prices are not high at all, perhaps that contributes to the crowds here, but the food overall was good.
