One of myFave late night eat's. Love there garlic chicken & beef . Plus you must get the Vietnamese eggs rolls! ???? If you go late nights hour be prepared for a wait.

Great late night spot . Sometimes you'll spot Houston Dynamo players here after a game. Soft shell crab , Vietnamese Fajitas , Hot & Spicy Beef soup - all winners!

Houston Press

Mai's has been serving bowls of pho & Vietnamese fajitas since 1978. Stay away from the mixed drinks at the flashy bar & stick with classics like bun or com dia with Mai's seasoned Cornish game hen. Read more

Point at something you probably won't go wrong! Love this place! Try #34, #36, Mongolian beef , #16#17 (for Phô lovers) fried rice , the list goes on and on

The Spicy  Chili Lemongrass Tofu is dynamite, and it will probably be brought to you by the same waiters that have been there for as long as you can remember the place ever being open. Read more

I've never been disappointed, but I'm partial to the bun with grilled chicken . And I cannot come here without getting shrimp spring rolls and Vietnamese egg rolls .

CultureMap Houston

Post-fire, Mai's looks more upscale and urban, but the food has retained its homey street quality. Get some spring rolls , and share a Banh Xeo and the garlic beef .

PONCHOgg

OMGosh!!! So really Delicious! This Garlic & Spicy Beef #97 is a must try!!! Rock* :D ????

Terrence Haggerty

It's all about the Garlic Chicken and the Vietnamese eggs rolls. You must try, you will thank me later.

Andres Novoa

Great place for a late night meal. Try the BBQ pork vermicelli bowl with egg rolls !!

Tricia Lestarjette

So much nicer since the fire. The food and service is still the same. Food is awesome; service is mediocre. Who cares though, we do not come here for the service! Get the spring roles!

My favorite salt toasted tofu and the best peanut sauce .

Bobby Witcher

I loved the chicken and asparagus ! They say it's a little spicy but it's really not.

Rachel Goss

Not the best Vietnamese in Houston, but Mai's is open late and remains an essential late-night hangout for Houstonians of all backgrounds.

Eric

Any vermicelli bowl is really good. #34 if you want something simple but delicious

jeremy munnerlyn

All about the crispy egg noodles with seafood and veggies .

Ruth Milor

You must try the caramelized catfish . It is so good! I get it practically every time.

We asked politely the waiter if he could wear a mask, he said no in a rude way and that we could leave if we wanted to.If you want a terrible service and posibly contaminaded food this is the place.

Great Vietnamese Food . Since they reopened the prices seem to be higher, portions to be smaller and the quality isn't quite what it used to be.
