I've eaten there a few times since they opened and 1 slow service lunch aside, it's been great each time.

Mai Thai is not a pun--it means Thai Silk. (Mai can mean different things in Thai, depending on the tone used, but we asked, and this is "Silk".) No references to bad cocktails.

Having spent some time eating in Thai restaurants in Thailand, and missing them, Mai Thai is now my favorite restaurant in Portland. And they deliver! How can you beat that?
