We get the Chicken pho and also the Eye round steak pho with tripe and tendon added. Ask for chili oil for extra kick and flavor. The bhan mi is the best we've had and he makes the bread, too! The owner gave us a mini education about how the pho is made which was very interesting! The milk tea is so fun with several flavors and you can adjust the sweetness and add Boba and different milks or juice.

If you're extremely hungry, this special broken rice dish is your number one savior. The toppings are incredibly generous: crispy pork skin, rich and firm egg patties, plus a runny fried egg mixed with fluffy broken rice. A big plus is the pickled vegetables served alongside, which are very refreshing and balance the richness, so you can finish the whole plate without feeling overwhelmed. The service is quick, the food is always hot, definitely worth trying!

I almost don’t want to write a review because I’m afraid of how busy my new favorite pho spot might become 😅 this was undeniably the best pho I’ve ever had! All the ingredients seemed simple and fresh, exactly how I anticipate my pho to be. What stood out to me in particular with that this ABUNDANT portion of protein had plenty collagen - making for a silky texture and rich and savory flavor (plus, why not glow while you eat!?) that only got better as I ate. I also got a natural fruit tea (I chose guava, yum!), sweetened with honey. I love that you can choose your sweetened intensity (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) - I went with regular and it was plenty sweet! I also topped mine off with lychee and I that was the perfect combo! I didn’t catch their names unfortunately but the owners, who also serve

We got Black Forest Fruit Tea and it had a blend of around 5 to 6 fresh fruits, no dyes/preservatives. We added the lychee boba and it paired very well with it. The chicken Bahn Mi sandwich and Chicken Pho were authentic in taste and very very delicious! Great portion size and hearty. Finally a local spot for great pho and Vietnamese food! The restaurant owners were incredibly kind and hospitable, cannot wait to go back!

We stopped by Mai Tea while traveling and I’m so glad we did. The Pho broth here is truly authentic, rich, flavorful, and nothing like the formula-style versions I usually get back home. You can really taste the care that goes into it. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for genuine Vietnamese food and great hospitality!
