" Had a disappointing experience at Mai's last night. The food felt unremarkable overall, with the egg rolls being the only standout. The pho was bland, lacking the depth of flavor I typically associate with great Vietnamese food. Our service was adequate but nothing exceptional. I expected more given the hype around the place, and I don’t think I'd rush back anytime soon. If you're on the hunt for authentic Vietnamese, you might want to keep looking. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Mai's! I visit every time I'm in Houston. The shrimp fried rice is hands down my favorite dish; it is perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. The staff is always quick with service and genuinely friendly. If you're looking for something late at night, this place is a gem! You'll find yourself craving it even after you leave. Just make sure to order the spring rolls as well; they are the best in town! Overall, a delightful dining experience every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Mai's! Every time I visit, I'm impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. The bun bo hue is a must-try; it's bursting with flavor! The service is usually quick, which is a plus if you're going late at night. I highly recommend their salt and pepper wings too; they are crispy and delicious. While the prices can be on the higher side compared to other Vietnamese spots, the quality justifies it. Will definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mai's delivers consistently decent Vietnamese food. I particularly enjoy the grilled pork over noodles. The layout and vibe of the restaurant are appealing, but I do wish the servers were a bit more attentive. Overall, a solid choice if you're craving some Vietnamese flavors late at night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mai's has been a long-time favorite of mine for late-night cravings! Although I find that some dishes can be hit or miss, the pho and spring rolls rarely disappoint! The service usually fluctuates, but it's generally welcoming. A great place for friends looking to dive into Vietnamese cuisine together! " (*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*)
