Mai is a better fit for flexible diners seeking a quieter, more exploratory meal than a hotel buffet or large-format restaurant. Choose it when the group can tolerate fewer published details; choose Seasonal Tastes, View Western Restaurant, or Zen Garden when predictability, range, easier planning matter more.

Restaurant context
How Mai compares with Taipei's easier-to-plan dining rooms
Mai is the pick for diners who want a lower-key meal and do not need the certainty of a large hotel restaurant. Seasonal Tastes is the safer choice for range and group convenience, especially when mixed appetites matter. View Western Restaurant makes more sense when the priority is a more conventional Western dining setup.
Zen Garden is the stronger cross-shop for diners who want a calmer room but still prefer a clearer restaurant identity. Mai works better for flexible explorers than for planners trying to lock in budget, format, occasion fit before arrival.
If Mai is not convenient, look at Shen Yen or Laurel Buffet only if the route already points that way. For most Taipei-based meals, Seasonal Tastes and Zen Garden are the more practical alternates because they solve the same decision problem with less uncertainty.
