Mai's Restaurant

Christina Ferraz

Mai’s is one of those places where you get what you get. For example, you may get bland pho but you’re also there eating at 3 a.m. and there aren’t many places open that late/early. We went for lunch and it was a relief to see the person who used to fight people in the parking lot gone, but Mai’s is very different than what it used to be. The prices are more expensive than other places with a bowl of pho tai (pho with just rare sliced beef) is $14 and a bowl of pho tai nam bo vien (pho with rare sliced beef, brisket, and meatballs) is $18. I would be OK with the price is this was the best pho I’d ever had, but the broth is bland and served without Thai basil. It was underwhelming. The spring rolls with grilled pork were also OK. We also had the garlic tofu. It’s my wife’s favorite dish here and she used to drive from Galveston to get it. She said, it’s different with the addition of lime but still flavorful. The bathrooms could use an upgrade. They were not very clean and needed attention. We went at lunch so we were seated immediately, food arrived immediately, and we had attentive service. The entire experience was kind of meh. I especially did not care for the flimsy little plastic soup soups for the pho. If you put the entire spoon in your mouth you’ll definitely cut yourself. Why are we being served plastic spoons for these prices? If you’re looking for delicious pho I’d recommend Pho Saigon. If you’re looking for a place to eat after a late night event I’d say go here.

There’s a smell of urine in here that greatly overpowers the smell of hot food. Especially by by second entrance in the restaurant—made it hard to enjoy the meal. Also, I didn’t like that I had to ask for everything. Chopstick, menu, napkin that annoyed me. Soup had good flavor but wont be back.

Overcharged, very long time waiting. Won't be going there again.
