Outstanding Service & Delicious Food!…read more I had such a great experience at Maui Pho, and I have to give a special shoutout to Amy for her amazing customer service! From the moment we walked in, Amy was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. She made us feel comfortable right away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She checked in at just the right times, gave great menu recommendations, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. On top of that, the food was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. You can really tell they care about both the quality of their food and the experience they give their customers. Amy truly made our visit memorable. If you're coming here, definitely ask for her--you won't be disappointed! Can't wait to come back!

Interesting restaurant in Bakersfield. The inside is actually much larger and nicer than you might…read moreexpect from the outside. The menu is an interesting mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and local Hawaiian dishes. The service was really friendly and the food was delicious. We were a little concerned as we've found in the past when restaurants mix different cuisines they tend to do each poorly or not as good as places that focus on the individual types. While we only had a couple of dishes, we really enjoyed what we got. We will definitely be back again!

I was concerned because I am vegan and found this place that had lots of options. I went with the sesame tofu as the waitress recommended it. I also got some fried tofu to go for our long journey back the following day. My finance got the chicken pad thai and we both had awesome portion sizes and place seemed to be very popular. Everyone was kind, ambiance was clean and welcoming. They had a bar, sushi bar and plenty of seating. They had "veggie meat", several tofu dishes, edamame, carrot salad, noodle dishes and also oil free options! I didn't take any pictures because we were starving but everything looked and tasted wonderful!

Each course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully curated. The way chili and chocolate were infused throughout the menu was creative, balanced, and surprisingly sophisticated. Every dish felt intentional bold flavors layered perfectly without overpowering one another. The service was just as impressive. Melissa was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about each course, which elevated the entire evening. You could feel the care and coordination from the whole team. Major compliments to Chef Reese and the entire staff for creating such a unique and memorable Valentine's experience. It wasn't just dinner it was an event. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend experiencing one of their special dinners if you get the chance. Johnny and Marina

I've never been to a place with such tasty garlic noodles!! If you eat these garlic noodles I will ensure you what ever happens in your day will instantly turn your day into sunshine and rainbows.

I would die with feelings of euphoria if every restaurant had one of these. Please please pretty please check this place out.

After perusing through the menu I decided on ordering a Thai tea and yellow curry from their lunch special menu. Ordering the Thai tea was $1 more but it was worth it. Our server was very kind but we were forgotten about for a bit. After the order was placed it didn't take too long for it to come out. My yellow curry lunch special came with a side of rice, pho broth, and one pork lumpia roll. The yellow curry was very flavorful and I ordered it with a mild spice level because I wasn't sure how spicy it would be. If I were to order it again I would get medium. The lumpia was good and so was the broth. Overall I would come here again and try something new.

My wife and I came to this restaurant because we looked online at the menu and there were 2 items I…read morewas very interested in: The tempura cauliflower and the chicken cordon bleu. We get there, and asked if we have a reservation...uh oh....it was Valentines Weekend, but they did find a table for us. Then we get a waiter who I believe was the busboy to help out and we are told right off the bat that the tempura cauliflower AND the cordon bleu were sold out. Well, damn... this is not a good start. I took a look at the menu and I saw a portobello mushroom appetizer that sounded interesting so, we started with that. We then got some garlic bread to munch on while waiting for the appetizer and it was really good. The portobello mushroom sliced, fried, and served with marinara sauce. I have found mushroom appetizers usually very underwhelming and I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary here, but this appetizer was delicious. The mushroom was prepared perfectly and paired so damn good with the marinara. I forgot all about the sold out cauliflower! Since the cordon bleu was off the menu, I saw my good ol' standby, eggplant parmesan on the menu. At $25, I thought it was a bit pricey considering it didn't come with pasta, but I thought, what the hell. I'll give it a go. My wife ordered the Beef bourguignon with rice. They bring our plates to the table, and my jaw literally dropped at the size of the portions. HUGE. The eggplant parmesan looked more like a lasagna and it was topped with cheese and marinara. Cutting to the chase, it was delicious, impossible to finish, and the eggplant was tender and breaded just right. That portion of eggplant became 3 more meals for me, and I can eat a lot. Worth every penny of that $25. The beef bourguignon was also delicious and the portion was very large as well. We wished we got it with the pasta instead of the rice, though. The leftovers her meal also provided a couple more meals, and the flavor holds up to reheating. I am going to be coming back to this place to sample more of the menu, because if what we had on our first visit is any indication, I will be getting a great meal no matter what is ordered. The service is a little slow, but everyone was very pleasant and seemed truly happy their food was enjoyed.
