Recently moved to this area and wanted to try some Vietnam sandwich. Ordered one to go, the food was okay, just the most expensive option doesn’t have any real meat inside. Plus the front table guy weirdly has an attitude, while I was appreciating the family owned vibe there. Guess I wasn’t liked by this place. Won’t come again.

Came in - completely ignored. Two dirty tables sat unbussed while the front guy wandered around doing nothing. New customers arrived - still no help. Then saw staff handling food with bare, dirty hands (no gloves).

Listen, you won’t be coming here for the ambiance, decor or cleanliness. Food, that’s it. It’s flavorful though some of the meat was dry and some veggies weren’t super fresh looking.

I’m not sure if it was because it was a Friday and really busy but the service wasn’t so good. We had a party of 9 everyone got their food a different times and overall just took a really long time. The number 23 was very flavorless. For this being my first time eating at this restaurant, I wouldn’t come back. I recommend Pho Mama instead of Mai’s Kitchen.

My wife and I came here after checking out the Thai Village Cuisine next door. We were seated promptly and we ordered the spring rolls, grilled pork and grilled shrimp with rice, and grilled pork and grilled shrimp, egg rolls, with vermicelli. The portions were large, nicely presented, and pretty tasty. I would return to try out their báhn mi sandwiches.

My Families go to comfort food and their avocado shake is just delicious and refreshing. The owner is so wonderful and always with a smile.

They didn't provide a receipt and change, claimed they had no change, and there was hair in my pho.

Tried their pho, bahn mi, and rice plates - everything is so good! You can’t go wrong with anything, but definitely try the pho. The broth is amazing. Love the homey, intimate atmosphere also.

Y’all swear this place is hella good. The number 21 has no flavor whatsoever. The salted plum soda is flat and taste like they keep it in the fridge the whole day. Goto the city if you want real pho

I come here just for the mango smoothie. It’s the best mango smoothie I’ve had. I’ve gotten mango smoothies from actual boba places and it’s always too thin and watery, this place makes a thick one. Other places need to step up their smoothie game. Lord I hope these dudes never change their recipe. Also remember life is fleeting!

This place is great. Their food is really good. My moms favorite is their house special pho. I’ve been eating vegetarian/vegan food, and their stuff is amazing. I love their vegan pho. The fried tofu they put is so tasty, and the vegetables are so good (cabbage, broccoli not overcooked), and the broth is amazing even though I think it has no meat.

Other stuff I tried that’s so good is their tofu rice and vegetables dish. Sooo tasty and large portions. It’s 2 or 3 meals for me.
