    Mai Special Salmon Maki
    Mark H.

    When visiting the Boston area, we have found that sushi restaurants outside Boston pale in comparison to the restaurants in the city. We visited Mai place a few weeks ago and it did not change our opinion. Although the sushi roll options were creative (we may come by again to try some of the other rolls), our party enjoyed the Chinese entrees over the sushi rolls. I played it safe with a Sushi Appetizer and the Mai Special Salmon Maki, and experimented with the Torch Salmon. All were appetizing and of decent quality. The venue itself was quaint and not busy, although we did find the orange hue of the lighting dark and a bit disorienting.

    Lunch bento box. Chicken teriyaki. Less than $9. So GOOD!

    Great service and great food. If I'm ever in Canton, I will be back for the food. I went there for the lunch and it was packed. The portion is really good. Got me full. I got the bento box and when the bill came for two lunch orders was not even $20. The cucumbers that came with the salad is the best I had. I love how thinly sliced it is. I got the chicken teriyaki bento box and it really is so ^*~' good! Even the shrimp lobster sauce is so tasty. Judging from a Chinese patron. Will be back. Highly recommended. Even the washrooms are clean.

    So the conversation between my friend and I went down like this: Friend: "I'm having my birthday dinner at Mai Place". Me: "Oh, okay, at your house?" Friend: "Noooo it's an actual place in Canton!" Me: "oooooooooooooooh" Despite this little confusion, there were a group of about 7-8 of us gathered for a friend's 21st birthday. I decided to go family style with the friend to be able to try a little bit of everything, and see what Mai Place has to offer. We ended up ordering Singapore Noodles, Mango Chicken and Shrimp, and a Spider Maki. It all turned out to be just okay. The mango chicken and shrimp was probably the best out of what we ordered. Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered, which is a plus. The Midori Sours (Drink of choice!) were yummy and never seems to do me wrong. And, my friend seemed to enjoy her birthday, which made it all even better. Would I come back? Sure, why not!

    This restaurant is located in an unassuming place, in a small strip mall along route 138. Upon walking in we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. Our server was one of the most entertaining and friendly servers we have ever encountered! He joked around with us, was patient, and told us that if we did not like something to let him know and he would take care of it. We started with some sushi: unagi (eel), maguro (tuna), and the sweet potato (idaho maki). All of the sushi was fresh and delicious and served very nicely. My wife stuck with the sushi, but I had to try an actual meal! So, I went with the boneless duck with ginger and scallions. I am not claiming to be a duck expert, but I will say that this was one of the greatest duck dishes I have ever experienced. The duck was tender, the skin was crispy, and the sauce was delicious. Everything about this dish was very high quality. While we ate, we actually perused the take-out menu to figure out what we'd like to order the next time we visit (yes, there will be a next time)! The only reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because of their dessert which is clearly not homemade. Obviously Chinese/Japanese restaurants are not know for their desserts, but we decided to try one anyway for fun. We had a mango/raspberry sorbet which was served with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Clearly, everything on their dessert menu is packaged food. At the conclusion of our meal, our fun server came by with hand wipes and he even opened the packages for us! Aside from the dessert experience, this restaurant is fantastic. The service and quality are some of the best we've seen, and we look forward to many future visits!

    Was last visit just a bad day? This time around, the sushi was fresh. I had Ika with tobiko topped with Quail egg. I also had this special roll with seafood salad shrimp wrapped with salmon then topped with seaweed salad. That was a very interesting taste. I also had their buffalo wings which I did not think was spicy at all. It was rather sweet. From this visit, I learned why their bar is small - they don't have a full liquor license! So I created a cocktail from what they had which tasted pretty darn good - Smirnoff Cranberry, Pama, Cranberry Juice and Pineapple Juice.

    It was the fortune is our cookie when we got the bill. It seemed appropriate for our experience.

    I came here on my sister-in-laws recommendation. She gets take out here for Christmas, so when my husband and I were in the area we decided to stop in for dine-in service. I really wasn't that impressed. I should start my saying that I am a "sushi newbie" (which isn't their fault of course). We ordered the chicken fingers first and they were greasy, flavorless, and there wasn't much chicken in them. Then we decided to split a sushi entree. We kept asking the waitress what the difference between maki (which is what we get on a regular basis) and tamaki which was what the entree we wanted had. She just kept saying " you get tamaki". There was a clear communication barrier so after 5 minutes of saying we jut wanted to know the difference, we figured we'd be adventurous and just give it a go. It didn't take long to come out which was nice; but when it did it was in a cone. That's fine (we knew there was a difference, we just wasn't sure what the difference was). She asked if we were all set, and we just asked how do we eat it. She brought out chopsticks but it wasn't cut so we weren't sure. She actually laughed at us and walked away. We eventually decided to use knives and cut it in pieces but I couldn't believe that she was laughing at us the whole time! It was a really bad experience! That being said the sushi was fresh and the spicy tuna was good. The yellowfin was gross. All I could taste was mayonnaise! Overall if I lived locally I may do sushi takeout here; but that's as far as I'd go.

    Two special rolls, the one in the back was softshell crab, which was hot and fresh.

    Went back for a dinner a year after the big "under new management" change. Interesting findings…read more -- Egg Rolls: A little small, a little dry, but nicely crisp, old school celery filling, and VERY intense BBQ pork flavor inside. Almost like a pork bun. A little above average thanks to the flavor. -- Chinatown Ribs: Not available when they first did the new management thing, but their signature babybacks are back, at least as a special. A different cut from the spares, these are a little pricey at $28, and odd cutting-- some wide, some narrow-- but very thick (2" in spots) and very juicy. Just enough glaze, and thankfully not all over the cross sections, because these fresh-cooked ribs have nothing to hide and need no crutch (I'm looking at you, Jasmine Garden). Very pleasant flavor. Near-elite. -- Yu Hsiang Beef (on a combo): Yes, they do dinner combos. The beef was very tender, with pleasant spicy flavor and sweetness to balance it out. It seems the sweetness is a new twist; I preferred the version I had twice a year ago that was much more spicy and savory, but this was good. Nice assortment of peppers and wood ear mushrooms. Above average. -- Spareribs (on a combo): Had to try these too. These changed a little from a year ago (previously near-elite once and elite once)-- not as thick and no scoring of the surface. Delicious glaze, but dry and probably a reheat. Will definitely get these again, but as a full order, not as extras plopped onto a combo. A little below average, but still some good signs. -- Pork Fried Rice (on a combo): Dry. Muted flavor. Below average. -- General Gau's Chicken: Very crispy and staying crispy throughout the meal, these flattened, bumpy mini cutlets had quality chicken, good tenderness, and a complex sauce mixing heat into the sweet the way the General is supposed to but which most don't. Caramelly delicious. Near-elite to elite. Some bumps in the road still, but still plenty to like.

    Chinatown on Cobbs Corner has taken a bold step for this area of the South Shore--and so far, it…read moreis succeeding. Chinatown now has dim sum--clearly, made fresh--on weekends. It even has a smaller dim sum menu on weekdays. Wow! The prices are not cheap, but certainly very reasonable for the quality. On a recent "solo" trip, my three choices were two dim sum classics: shumai, tofu skin rolls, and a fried offering of shrimp and chives in a wonton wrapper. I will start with the shumai, which were large and juicy and full of meat and large chunks of fresh shiitake mushrooms. Delicious, and better than any shumai I have had in New England. You get four large steamed shumai (in the bamboo steamer) for $7. That is not just fantastically tasty, but also is a serious bargain! My other steamed dish was also very good. The steamed tofu skin rolls are thicker (more pork) than one might find in traditional Boston dim sum halls(, and the traditional Cantonese in which they're served is not full of cornstarch (as so often is the case). The bamboo shoots in the rolls also have flavor. More like you might find in Hong Kong, and three large rolls for $7. This is a standard-sized dim sum order at established halls. Good job Chinatown! The people who serve you are kind and chatty (you won't find such people at the usual bustling halls!). They are happy to make suggestions, and to bring your dipping requests (soy, chili oil, hot mustard etc.). I believe 5 different people waited on me and/or stopped to chat. Very nice atmosphere. My third item was good, but nothing special. The fried shrimp and chives dumplings were small and tasty (called a "rangoon" on the dim sum menu, it's really a simple shrimp and chive deep fried dumpling. The shrimp and the chives were fresh, but at $7 for 3, it was the least stunning of my orders. The prices are generally $7. The menu is divided into steamed items, fried items, and weekends only. Their xiao longbao comes as 6 pieces (generous) for 6 buns. The weekend choices include stuffed eggplant and stuffed tofu ($7). I will note that they have chicken feet, steamed spareribs and tripe steamed with ginger EVERY DAY (all at $7). As I had (wrongly) believed their dim sum offerings would be frozen (as is the case with most dim sum restaurants) I didn't order the har gow, as the frozen ones have thicker and chewier wrappers. When I was assured that they were indeed homemade har gow, I promised myself I would return soon! It's a very clean and airy restaurant, like many of the Chinese restaurants in America during my childhood (but no tiki torches!). With a proper sushi bar, it's a great place to take out of town guests.
