Always timely service & great food! I make sure to bring friends from out of town here when they visit. My favorites are the egg rolls and pad thai! read more

My grandma and I went on a few erransds and we happen to pass by this restaurant a few times so i decided to take her to eat here for brunch. I ordered off their slick wall menu of some familiar foods my gma would be comfortable with such as beef pho, eggrolls, stuff wings, and thai drink. The food was delicious and nogalstic. I Loved that it was a small family-owned business with homestyle cooking. They had quite a 1:30pm rush though! I would advise at most 4/5 party group. Service was pleasant but you def need to give the servers a moment to come around to you, but ofc you can always be the one to go to them too. I wouldn't mind coming again to try more when I'm in town again. :) read more

The place was small, with no waitress available. The food was average, not outstanding. I likely wouldn't return. Additionally, there were many flies inside the restaurant. read more

Always delicious! You have to try the stuffed chicken wings. So unique and yummy. I do not know how they do it but they stuff a chicken wing with filing similar to an egg roll. It comes two really good dipping sauces. One very spicy, wow! The curry dishes are packed with so much flavor and ingredients. Don't let the building exterior deter you, all the food is amazing. Order at the counter, simple decor with friendly service. Or order takeout. Some of their food options are gluten free. This is a must stop for me when I am in Appleton. read more

This is a small eatery but has some yummy items. I recommend trying the stuffed chicken wings. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. The stuffing is primarily rice noodles and cabbage. I prefer to order the wing spicy. The chicken itself is not spicy but you are given a very flavorful thai chili pepper sauce that is very tasty. The one thing I did not like was the nuoc cham (fish dipping sauce). It is too sweet and has little to no fish sauce in it. Parking: coming early as there are only a few parking spots near the building. read more

Mai's Deli - Menu - Delis Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Casual eatery. Order at the counter. Fresh rolls were fresh, but not a lot of substance; i.e no carrots, cucumber, etc. just lettuce and rice noodles. I had the pad see ew and my wife had the pad Thai. Both were tasty. Although my chicken was a little dry. Her tofu was fried perfectly. You can order each dish medium, spicy, or very spicy. As someone who likes some heat the medium more than delivered. My wife found it too spicy for her palette. Overall food was good. Would definitely return. read more

Pho was good, a little salty but overall good. Pad Thai was very good, I'm picky with Pad Thai and I considered it tasty and not dry! :) read more

Good food. Great service. Nice staff. Crab rangoons a must!!! Will definitely comeback

First want to start with how kind the staff are!! They are very helpful and attentive. We decided to eat in and this place is fairly small but still welcoming. It was mid day on a Tuesday so not too busy but they did have several to go orders and other tables full inside. They're extremely fast getting food out however! We got the Thai iced tea, one chicken egg roll, one pork roll, two stuffed chicken wings (one for each of us), a pork pad Thai that ended up coming out with chicken instead (happy accident), and the chicken Thai pad see ew. I have had far too many egg rolls to admit to a number but the egg rolls here are TRULY THE BEST EGGROLLS IVE EVER HAD. The pork was my favorite of the two we tried but the chicken was just as good. They're perfectly proportional of filling to crispy and flaky exterior. They also come with sweet & sour sauce or spicy and they are AMAZING to mix together. I wish I had a photo to show but we devoured these. The stuffed chicken was DELICIOUS as well. Really not sure how they do these but clearly they are known for these and they are truly the bomb! The pad Thai was accidentally made with chicken but it was still delicious! The plate is much bigger than we thought so my partner only got through maybe half of this before getting a take away box. It was tangier than we expected with no spice but after adding the spicy sauce from the eggrolls it was perfect for his taste. Finally the Thai pad see ew was a welcome dish. The noodles were thicker than I'm used to but again no harm there. It also was a huge dish so maybe half way through got a box. This place is so good. I absolutely recommend stopping for some delicious eats. We saw some pho bowls and they are huge but look amazing. I can't imagine not finding something to like about this place. read more

I will shout this small family owned restaurant from the rooftops every time! What is not to love?! From the classic Pad Thai to the stuffed chicken wings, curry and pho, crab rangoons....my list goes on! If you want the good stuff, find yourself a parking spot and support local. Amazing family and even better food read more

Parking is kind of hard to find, there are a few spots outside but not many, this really seems more like a to-go restaurant than a sit down. We were the only people eating inside but dozens of people picked up food and left. Service was just okay. I got the crab rangoon as an appetizer and it was pretty average. The Pad Thai with shrimp was very similar. Had the family there and all of the food was pretty mid. Not the best of anything we've ever had but not the worst, just run of the mill. The Thai iced tea was a bit below average. read more

Amazing food, super kind staff and a fun environment!! Highly recommend!!! The egg rolls are delicious!!

Their stuffed chicken wings are to die for. Service was prompt and courteous. Small dining in area, clean.

The only thing I have ever ordered here are the stuffed chicken wings, which are superb. Unpretentious little shop (but still has two bathrooms) in downtown Appleton. Always busy. Great service. Parking can be tight. read more

I've been going here for years and am shocked to have never written a review on this fantastic little family restaurant. While it doesn't look like much on the outside and doesn't have great parking, it makes up for it with excellent food. When you enter there is a great menu board. There are photos of each item. For those who are leery because of not being familiar with the names, the visual really helps. You order, pay and then wait for your food. If you are in a hurry, you might be disappointed; they can get super busy and sometimes you need to wait. The wait is worth it. They are known for their stuffed chicken wings. They are exceptional and I've never seen them anywhere else. They also offer spring rolls (my favorite) and three different flavors of egg rolls to get your meal started. I love their Pho Combo but I've had almost everything on their menu at one time or another. I've never been disappointed. If you like your food a bit spicier, ask and they will prepare it to your liking. I prefer to eat at the restaurant; however, I've also ordered food for take out many times. The food has been really good either way. If you are looking for a really good Asian meal, start here. I'd be surprised if you went away disappointed. read more

I'm a fan! The Pad Cashew is such a great dish, I was blown away! The sauce, the veggies, the chicken... so good! The Pad Thai was pretty good as well. When you get inside, it's a small space with a lot of tables - most of which were occupied. Dining in was a great experience, but the to go line was moving quickly, too! read more

I adore these stuffed chicken wings & egg rolls. This is a shining jewel and toe dip into the water that is Hmong cuisine. I hope they expand to other delicious entrees & appetizers they think could equally be as popular. Appleton needs the diversity and variety on the overall palette. I think with just a few adventurous cuisine explorers more people would be raving to eat and try Hmong food. read more

Mais is great. We love their egg rolls and chicken wings. The prices on the yelp menu for Mais are incorrect.

Yum!! Okay those stuffed chicken wings are no joke. My brother in law told me about this place & I had been thinking about it for a couple weeks. Stuffed chicken wings.........huh?? Sounds good to me! So the four of us went. It's a smaller joint but we didn't have to wait long. The service was great. They went above & beyond cleaning a table for us. A great relaxing lunch, with good music. I got 3 of the wings and they were everything I'd hoped for. I'm from Portland so I've never even heard of these before. Give them a try. Lots of other good food options as well read more

Mai's Deli is a great find in Appleton, WI for decent southeast Asian food. They are famous for their stuffed chicken wing, which they de-bone and stuff the chicken wing with noodles and veggies. On the side it comes with sweet chili sauce and their homemade chili sauce with freshly cut Thai chili peppers, cilantro, and fish sauce. The moment I took my first bite into my stuffed chicken wing, I could see why they sell a lot of them! I also ordered drunken noodles with fried tofu. They used really wide rice noodles for that dish and it was delicious. If I'm in Appleton, WI again, I know where I'll be going for lunch or dinner! read more

We are still looking for our go to viet joint in the area. This is the top runner so far. Pho broth is simple, sometimes may be too simple, but not overly sweet or salty which is classic. Prices are a bit high. The combo pho does come with shrimp so if you aren't expecting it, could ruin your idea of a bowl fairly quick. Also tried the stuff wings, delicious and cool how they can take out the bone like that. Finally also tried the wide noodles. This dish was very sweet. Not a big fan. Service is quick and pleasant. They are allowing indoor seating atm. 2 bathrooms available to customers. You pay at the counter than sit and wait for food to come out. Overall a good place, will be back to try more dishes in the future. Happy eating! read more

Stuffed chicken wings - Awesome!! Yellow curry was good but it was served with a whole bay lea (eww) and not enough curry sauce. But the restaurant is filthy! Spice/condiment bottles are crusty and dried, look like they've never been cleaned. And someone had a baby in the kitchen; I heard small cries and coos. Great concept, poor execution. Attention: HEALTH DEPT! read more

The best egg rolls in the Fox Valley. Seriously amazing. Their stuffed chicken wings are also really good. Although my multiple food allergies prevent me from trying a lot of their noodle and curry dishes, my friends and family tell me that those are also delicious. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. The only downside to Mai's Deli is that their parking situation is horrendous. read more

Great Thai food from a local business. Try their stuffed chicken wings, you won't regret it!

Fantastic food and very friendly service! Tried for first time based on other Yelp reviews and was very happy w overall experience.

Pho and Pao pa gai (chicken basil fried rice) and pho were just okay. But the spicy tofu pad Thai was very good. read more

Mai's Deli - Tried 3 entrée so far. Pho and chicken Pao Pa Gai were just okay but the pad Thai was as really good. I got the spicy tofu Pad Thai. - Delis Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Mai's Deli is a local treasure. The food is excellent; having lived in LA for 7 years and tried all the best places, Mai's is second to none, I kid you not. Talk about punching above their weight! Everyone who works there has always been very friendly, and the vibe has a nice, chill local feel. We'll be back many, many times. read more

Yoooooo. I'm sorry. But what? WHAT? If you EVER find yourself in Appleton, Wisconsin, this is the place you have to go. Mai's has changed my life. Mai offers stuffed chicken wings. Chicken wings that are deboned and stuffed with noodles, cabbage, carrots (think the inside of an egg roll), and it's served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, and I'm telling you, you won't recover. You will be changed. CHANGED. I dream about these stuffed chicken wings. Also amazing? Their Shrimp Spring Rolls. So good. If you want a meal, also recommend their curry, but I usually don't have room in my body after devouring the wings and spring rolls. Choose stomach space wisely. It's called PRIORITIZING. read more

We specifically came to Mai's for the stuffed chicken wings. They did NOT disappoint. We ordered some to go and they kindly packaged them up for us with ice as we went to the PAC for a show and had an hour drive home after. Had the vermicelli salad for dinner and it was also very delicious. Staff was kind and accommodating. Restaurant was clean and had lots of seating. We will most definitely be back! read more

We have been eating here for years. Always delicious and great variety. Tastes like someone's grandmother is cooking in the kitchen.

my girlfriend and i were searching for a soup and sandwich place for lunch and we ended up here by accident. i am SO GLAD that we did. I ordered the beef fried rice and she ordered the chicken pho and we were both VERY impressed. the food is incredibly authentic and you get soooo much food for what you pay for. It is very affordable and we have plenty of leftovers to take home. We will definitely be back for more and to try some other dishes. Thank you for the great service and food.

Would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could!!! There is basically nothing Mai's Deli does wrong. It's cost effective/reasonably priced, the service is fast and friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and gives that deli vibe, and most importantly the food is DELICIOUS! I have probably eaten here over 4 or 5 dozen times and they have never disappointed. I'm sad to be leaving WI in very large part because I will miss Mai's Deli. They are the stars of the Appleton Thai restaurant scene, and a staple in the community. You HAVE to go! read more

My favorite egg rolls in the valley! I also love their Pad See Ew entree. We visit as often as possible. I even made my husband pick up egg rolls to go after I had surgery. I dream about Mai's Deli read more

Mai's Deli never disappoints. The service is fast, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the food is fresh and well priced. What else can you ask for? They renovated the inside of the restaurant and their website. Due to COVID-19 they're offering takeout only and you have to call in your orders. I definitely recommend this place when looking for Thai and Vietnamese food to go. They have a variety of both cuisines and everything is made fresh. They're famous for their stuffed chicken wings. They're not a favorite of mine, but they sure are tasty. I recommend the yellow curry, crab Rangoon and house fried rice. You can also get their combo meal. It consists of fried rice + stuffed wing + egg roll + soda for $8.99 Give them a try! You won't be disappointed. Happy eating! :) read more
