About Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant

Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant is a cozy and welcoming spot in San Francisco that serves up authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. The staff is friendly and accommodating, often remembering regular customers. The menu features a variety of pho options, including the popular lemongrass beef pho and the combo pho, both of which receive high praise from diners. The restaurant offers unpretentious Vietnamese dishes like barbecued pork over cold noodles on warm days, and many come here for the pho. The servers are helpful, and servings are generous. The menu also includes specialties such as cơm sườn (BBQ porkchop rice), which is truly authentic with two nicely charred porkchops, and bánh tằm (cold rice noodles with coconut sauce), which is surprisingly similar to what can be found in Vietnam. The fish sauce used is light and tangy, reflecting Southern flavors. Mai's is also the only place offering bi (shredded pork skin) and soda sữa hột gà (egg soda), providing a taste of traditional Southern Vietnamese treats. While the restaurant excels at many dishes, some may not enjoy their hủ tíu (pork and seafood noodle soup). Overall, Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant is a reliable and enjoyable dining experience, with consistently excellent food true to Vietnamese flavors.

Richmond district ,clement st.
Since the 90’s we know this nice mini Asian restaurants,shops,groceries
My son went to school around here,my dad’s family till they age…Mai’s I recommend…
I saw that the Lemongrass Beef Pho was mentioned several times in the reviews so I came in to try it, and I’m so glad I did! It was delicious. A lot of times when I eat at a Vietnamese restaurant, I’m torn between ordering the dry vermicelli noodles with a grilled protein or the pho. The Lemongrass Beef pho satisfied my need for both because you get grilled meat, and a comforting bowl of noodles in pho broth. The broth was very good too, very aromatic of all the classic...read full review
Mai’s is such a gem. Their lemongrass beef pho is my absolute favorite. I can’t eat any other pho after having this! The owners are so sweet, it truly feels like a neighborhood family joint. We love having a little date there when we can.
