"Mai Vietnamese Cuisine is my go-to spot for lunch, and I'm always delighted with their offerings. Without fail, I opt for the S2 Pho, but with a twist - I substitute the original broth with Bun Bo Hue broth, which infuses the dish with a delightful spiciness. The Bun Bo Hue broth boasts rich flavors that elevate the soup to another level, providing a satisfying kick. Additionally, they provide a variety of fresh veggie sides to enhance the pho experience. I never miss out on their freshly made spring rolls, a perfect accompaniment to the meal. I highly recommend giving it a try! Beyond the delicious food, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; it's evident that the owner takes pride in the restaurant, often seen working alongside the team."

Best pho. We drive from petaluma to get it. Broths classic, servings are huge, by far the best "to go" AND in house. No plastic bowls here:) P6 , spring rolls, b6, everything is good. Service is great. Love these family owned spots.

Our noodles weren't fully cooked, was hard to chew but we were starving after waiting 45 minutes or more for just 4 extra small bowls of pho..... and yet alone one of my friends was pregnant and they just 6 laps of refilling our waters before our food came out. We came down to visit for a girls trip and this was our first stop of the night and I am never coming back here again.

We tried their pho. It was good but nothing special. I also ordered extra noodles and the larger size so my husband and I could share but I felt like the portion was enough for one person. BBQ chicken was good though! Service was also great! She suggested to order off their website and not through a third party. This ensures they receive the order quicker.

It’s my favorite Vietnamese food spot! The owners and staff are the sweetest of folks & my favorite comfort food all year round ♥️ Pho Tai & Spring Rolls are the superior combo ?

The food is delicious and service is great! If you like spicy, you definitely need to try the bun Bo hue!

Small Vietnamese restaurant with great service and fresh food. We been coming here for the last 5 years at least once a month we have family dinners. My daughter loves chicken egg noodle pho while we usually order different items giving a chance to find our favorite it’s tough because everything is fresh and well prepared. My favorite appetizer would be the egg rolls. Vietnamese iced or hot coffee is one to try out as well.

Mai's has been my family's go to Vietnamese restaurant for over 10 years. Always delicious, great selection of dishes. Dine in or take out is fantastic. The restaurant changed owners a few years back, and I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be the same, I'm very happy to say that it's still just as good! The new owners are very smart and friendly. It's always a pleasure eating there.Parking: Parking can be right sometimes but I've never had a real issue.

This place is amazing, food is in incredible every time and their Thai iced tea is to die for!!
For a long time, I only knew about Simmer for pho in RP. I was always looking for an alternative. See my review on them if you want to know why. Then I found Mai!! Waaaaay better and the fresh spring rolls are made the traditional way I like to have them. With pork AND shrimp and mint!! So many places it's either/or and they don't use mint. I think the peanut sauce could be thicker, but that's just personal preference, and it tastes great, so... The pho is sooooooo good. I get tai, and the meat quality here is omg so much better than you know who. Also the broth is so amazing! Delicate, yet flavorful and so delicious. The staff is so nice and friendly, they even remembered me after one time! They serve up a beautiful pho, and spring rolls, and you simply must try them if you're not already a fan!! Mai's is the only place I will have pho from in RP!!

I had the bbq pork and shrimp. It was quite good. My mother had a veggie noodle biwl and said she loved it. My sister got the salad again tasty. The staff were friendly. The place was nice but a little stark.

Bad experience at Mai Vietnamese restaurant used to frequent this place when it was operated by the original owner. After she sold it, the quality of the food and service has continued to go down hill. I recently thought I would give it another chance and ordered my usual warm cabbage salad. What I was given was a different dish than ordered and when I brought it to the attention of the owner I was told I was wrong and that it was what I ordered - she continued to argue that it was the correct salad until she finally admitted she has brought me wrong salad. Needless to say, I won't be coming back to this place. They are so many better Vietnamese restaurants that actually treat their customers better and where the food is better quality.

Authentic pho! I've been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I finally came here today. The restaurant was small but was organized, clean, and welcoming. I thought the decorations/items on the wall were very interesting! We ordered end the Chinese sausage egg rolls, and 2 medium pho bowls (S1 & S8). All together it was $50 -- great price. The food was authentic & flavorful. I was even able to bring some leftovers home because the portions were so big. The service was great, fast & friendly. We will definitely come back. It's hard to find authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Sonoma county, this is a secret gem.
