Food is great, broth is the best I've had.
Only issue is lately they haven't been open when they say they will be. (Lunch time)

Cute cozy restaurant, owners are super sweet and attentive.
My bf and I came pretty late and they still let us sit! They seem pretty popular late nights because after us a few others had walked in and they were able to sit and dine also! They just seem like very hard workers and I was glad I came upon this place!
My bf and I both order noodle soups with spring rolls as an app, I have been craving spring rolls and they were good, wish there was a little more noodles in them but overall good. Peanut sauce was good too.
Their chili oil container didn't have much oil in them but it was so flavorful and garlicky it was really good. And usually chili oil isn't really spicy to me from Pho spots but there's was actually spicy - it had a good kick to it, definitely would recommend this place!

Came here after my boyfriend finished his work shift. Since he ends rather late there aren't many places open for dinner but we made it to Mai's Kitchen! So glad we did their pho was solid and they also had nem nuong(?) which my bf claims is the legit way to make it so go Mai's kitchen!
I noticed a few tables occupied as well so it seems like a place where locals come for late dinner soup and food as well.
Will be back if he's craving soup after work again.
Their taro smoothie was also pretty good!

Mais kitchen is seriously overrated! I've been going here for years and they never let me down! The lemon soda and combo plates are bomb. Only taking off one star is because I wish they rotated specials more often. Food is always quick, tasty and delivered with a smile :)

This place is YUM!
I'm so glad to have found a Vietnamese restaurant that doesn't just sell pho and caters to other authentic Vietnamese dishes!! We were really craving something light and refreshing and grabbed a banh mi and noodle bowl here.
Banh mi (BBQ Pork) - I feel like I've gotten better ones, sadly but still tasted good. I wish the bread was fluffier/crunchy and the jalapenos were oddly not spicy and tasted more like bell peppers
Noodle Bowl (Pork, Prawn, Eggroll) - Pork wasn't dry at all and was pleasantly surprised! The eggroll was still pretty hot and crunchy despite it being on top of the rice noodles. Prawns were also juicy and not dry. I loved this dish so much and wish there was just more vegetable to rice noodles. Overall, this dish was very refreshing and would keep coming back for their rice noodles.
I can't wait to try out their smoothies and rice plates at some point! Keep it up!
