Ginger Beef at Mai's Kitchen is one of Saskatoon's most praised dishes — repeatedly called out by reviewers as a fan favourite. Crispy sliced beef is wok-tossed with fresh ginger, peppers, and a bold savoury-sweet sauce in this beloved Indo-Chinese-Vietnamese fusion dish that has earned a loyal following across Saskatoon.
Ginger Beef is a uniquely Canadian-Vietnamese fusion dish — a Calgary-born creation that has been enthusiastically adopted across Western Canada — and at Mai's Kitchen, it's one of the standout dishes on the menu. Thin strips of beef are marinated, lightly battered, and deep-fried until golden and crispy, then tossed in a rich, glossy ginger sauce with julienned ginger, bell peppers, and green onions.
What makes Mai's Kitchen's Ginger Beef memorable is the balance of textures and flavours: crispy beef that holds its crunch, the sharp warmth of fresh ginger, and a sauce that is savoury, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. TripAdvisor reviewer potashminer specifically named the ginger beef as one of their favourites: 'Had many different dishes and they were all very good — the ginger beef and sweet and sour chicken were my favourites.' It's best enjoyed with steamed jasmine rice.
