What a great addition to not only the Missoula food truck scene, but the local food scene in general. This is, bar none, the best Chinese food that I have had so far in town. I ordered the orange chicken and was seriously impressed — perfectly crispy, just the right balance of sweet and tangy, with a portion size that actually fills you up without going overboard. My wife ordered the stir fried chicken and vegetables and was very pleased. Her words, “Delicious flavor but a little sauce heavy. I was very happy with the vegetables. They were perfectly cooked.” Good segue to my next point. I opted to substitute the standard white rice for their chicken fried rice, which was a solid upgrade. The rice was flavorful and well-cooked. My only suggestion would be to include a few vegetables in the fried rice — maybe some peas, carrots, or green onions — just to round it out and add a little freshness. We got the Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. Tough to miss here and Mai City did not. Bonus points for the dipping sauce. You can tell it is made from scratch. This also goes for all the sauces. Service was friendly, and everything came out hot and fast. You can tell Tony and Camille care about what they’re putting out. My only regret is not getting the egg rolls. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.

Excellent food and excellent service. We had the general tso's, fried rice, and chicken and veg stir fry. Generous servings all around.
