Why go, and how to do it well
Situated along Pattaya-Na Kluea Road, Mai Thai Cuisine draws diners with a menu that blends traditional Thai cooking with Western influences, set within a relaxed, traditionally styled dining room. The kitchen shows particular strength with seafood — visitors highlight dishes such as blue crab, tuna tataki, and sea bass as standout choices, with the salmon also earning consistent praise for its quality and presentation. Belgian beers and imported wines round out the drinks offering, making it a solid option for those looking to pair a full meal with something beyond the usual local options.
The atmosphere leans toward unhurried and attentive, with multiple reviewers noting that service is thorough and staff are present without being intrusive. Pricing sits at a mid-range level, though some diners feel the overall experience justifies a slightly upscale spend given the quality of ingredients and plating. The broad menu covers enough ground to suit varied tastes, though those seeking a tightly focused, exclusively Thai experience may want to set expectations accordingly.
Practically speaking, Mai Thai Cuisine opens at 15:30 daily and runs through to 23:00 across all seven days of the week, making it best suited for an early dinner rather than a lunch stop. Given the attentive service noted by regulars and the popularity of the venue, booking ahead for larger groups is a sensible precaution, particularly on weekends.

Reviews from Google
I have eaten here twice so far. This is the best Salmon presentation and taste that I have ever had in my entire life. This is no joke....I love this restaurant. The service is impeccable. My nephew had another choice from the menu and he reports that this was the tastiest food he has ever had. My hat is off to you Mai Tai.....and congratulations on some ultra superior food and ambiance. Thank you Update; I have been back at least 3 times this last month and I am always super happy with the quality of the food....even the plating and general appearance is fantastic. I am adding some photos 12 July, 2023
Very nice place, waiters paid full attention to us , the food was very good, the pricing is very fair. We enjoyed our stay
There are too many in the menu and nothing special. Thai restaurant that serves Western foods and set up like a traditional Thai restaurant and customers want to come for traditional Thai fusiom food, not western food, when they search on Google for Thai restaurant. I ordered the scallop for the starter out of the special menu, and the taste was good, but It's too pricey for quality. It cost 350 baht for a tiny scallop. My friend ordered Lamb Shank, and he said it was good. Surprisingly, Western food here is better than Thai food in Thai restaurant. We had seafood curry in the coconut shell, and it was so oily, as you can see from the photo. The taste was so bad and awful for the Thai restaurant that made it for the tourists. It's not a real Thai taste. It was far too sweet. The price of this coconut dish is 560 baht, which is more expensive than 5 stars hotel. But the foods are 1 star only. We just paid for the atmosphere and for the decorations of the dishes to make it look expensive for upmarket the restaurant.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
