" The dining experience at Restaurant Chez Mai Lai has its pros and cons. The food is good, offering authentic Vietnamese dishes that capture wonderful flavors that you generally don't find elsewhere. On the downside, the staff does seem to prioritize fast service to the point where it can feel uncomfortable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for the food, but don’t expect to linger over dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently tried this restaurant for a special occasion, expecting a memorable evening. The cuisine certainly delivered on the authenticity front with rich flavors reminiscent of Vietnam. However, the service was too rushed for a celebratory dinner. The staff kept asking if we were ready to order dessert as soon as we finished our mains. It felt out of place. Nonetheless, the food was enjoyable, and I'll likely return with lower expectations on service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I dine at Chez Mai Lai, I feel like I just received a warm meal from my grandma! They manage to preserve authentic Vietnamese flavors with each dish. The only minor drawback is the service speed. While I do appreciate efficiency, I don't want to feel like I'm in a hurry during dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for any Vietnamese food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Chez Mai Lai was a mixed experience. While the food was undeniably delicious with authentic flavors—especially the grilled meats—the fast service felt slightly overwhelming. It was as if the staff were keen on racing us through our meal. That aspect made it hard to fully appreciate the great food. Will definitely come for the food again, but I hope service will be more relaxed next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had dinner with some friends at Restaurant Chez Mai Lai. The food was delicious! Every plate was beautifully presented and had stunning flavors that showcased their commitment to authenticity. The fact that you can bring your own wine is an excellent bonus, as it allowed us to personalize our dining experience. However, the speed at which we were served was overwhelming; we felt like we were racing through our meal. I would recommend this restaurant for the food alone but be prepared for fast service if you go. " (*Curated Review*)

" I first visited Restaurant Chez Mai Lai on a whim after finishing a local tour. What a find! The food was a burst of flavors and true to Vietnamese cuisine. The staff treated everyone with respect, but I did feel pressured to finish quickly as the place was busy. As someone who enjoys a leisurely meal, I was torn. But I absolutely loved the shrimp curry—it was just the right level of spice! If you enjoy authentic Vietnamese food and quick service, this is the place for you. I highly recommend trying their specialty dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Chez Mai Lai was a delightful experience overall! The dishes are undeniably tasty and true to traditional flavors, which impressed me. We went during a busy rush hour, so we did experience a slight delay, but their service team handled it well. The portion sizes were generous, and I appreciate that they encourage customers to bring their own wine. A return visit is definitely in my plans! " (*Curated Review*)
