Mai Mai's Bistro Victoria

Not to be confused with the original in Sooke, Mai Mai's Bistro is for nightclub admirers who want a place to chill and eat good food. I entered at 5pm when they opened but I was told by the waitress that it doesn't start getting busy till 9pm and are open till 2pm. Plan according to your taste and volume level.

I started with a sunumono salad that was one of the best one's i've had in Victoria. Since I was on my bicycle and heading to a nearby movie theatre after eating, i asked what stout beers they had. Fortunately they just had a free case delivered from Lighthouse Brewery. They had a Seaport Vanilla Stout and the waitress offered it for free since it was a free sample. It was one of the more smoother stouts I have ever tried and the vanilla was a nice addition.

I then had a trio of the West Coast Inari (tofu pocket with rice, cold smoked wild sockeye, avocado, goat cheese crumble with a tequila honey dressing) that was delicious. Lastly I had the ginger beef (Alberta beef strips, Asian vegetables and ginger) that was one of the best tasting and certainly best presented ginger beef I have had.

I would definitely come back again and for my slower pace early in the evening is best for me.
