Absolutely wonderful experience. Ordered the pork and shrimp vermicelli. Meats were huge and so good. One of the best Vietnamese restaurants ive been to and the staff and ownera are very friendly and welcoming. Also have a very decent selection of vegan and vegetarian offerings.

I've only had takeout from Mai's but I feel like that speaks even more to the quality of their food. And HOLY WOW is it good. The staff is always very friendly and the bar is pleasant to wait at while they pack up your order.But the food, oh man. I highly recommend the Cabbage Salad to accompany your soup, it's large so you can share it. Aside from the expected pho, I LOVE the Bún Bò Huê (Huê Style Noodles), soooo tasty; and Mai's Sate if you aren't feeling quite as fishy, haha.

Not traditional pho. Soup is sweet, some spring rolls have shrimp some do not, just random. Read menu in detail, as the first rice noodle soup has chick breast in it!

Tried the Vietnamese food and it was not the best. Soup was sweet and the spring rolls were small. Peanut sauce for the spring rolls were good tho!

Husband's new favorite place. If you're really hungry, get the chicken and rice in a clay pot. Eggrolls are fresh!
