" A staple for those craving late-night Vietnamese food! I love that they’re open until 3 AM, which is hard to find in Houston. The garlic tofu was a bit disappointing compared to what I'm used to, but the grilled pork was flavorful and well-cooked. Overall, it’s not my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, but it surely satisfies my cravings when the clock strikes midnight. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mai's is my go-to for when I’m craving late-night Vietnamese food! I can always rely on their tasty pho and flavorful egg rolls. The only thing that would make it even better is a more varied menu. The atmosphere can get loud, but if you're just looking to grab some food after a night out, it's perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has a lot of potential, but it needs to improve on some key factors. The food was acceptable, but didn't wow me like I hoped it would. The pho was particularly bland, and the service was inconsistent. I appreciated the late hours, but I'd likely seek out a more authentic Vietnamese experience elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was expecting more from Mai's given the rave about their food. While the ambiance is nice for late-night dining, the pho I ordered was very disappointing. It lacked the robust flavor I look for in Vietnamese cuisine. The service was good, but I wouldn’t return for the food. I would recommend you try it for yourself before settling on a decision. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've frequented Mai's for years, and while some dishes are excellent, others fall short. My recent visit for the curry was underwhelming, lacking the depth of flavor I'd expect. The garlic beef, however, was excellent! The service was efficient, but the spot can be hit-and-miss on weekends with crowds. Nonetheless, I still have a fondness for their egg rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mai's is our go-to spot for Vietnamese after a night out! The three-meat bowl is delicious, and their fried rice is very satisfying as well. Sure, the service can be spotty during busy hours, but the food quality makes up for it. I always have a good time when I go with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming to Mai's given its reputation, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The pho was decent but not as rich and flavorful as I expected. The ambience is lively for late-night dining, but it can get quite chaotic. The service was friendly but a bit slow, especially during peak hours. Overall, it's a good place for a late-night bite, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for the food. Maybe try it for the experience instead. " (*Curated Review*)
