Passing through Closter, on the way back to NYC, stopped for a bite at Ma Mi. Ma(ma) Mi(a)! What a nice find. Their jerk beef pho, though non-traditional, is amazing. Deep rich flavor, just enough spice for a punchy kick. For a to-go order, you get the noodles in a separate container, to keep the soup from being mushy. Very thoughtful. Pad Thai is equally delicious. Generous portions, reasonable price, friendly staff. Zero complains, much praise. read more

I love this place they have a very nice customer service and their food is simply delicious, try all their salads and I keep wanting more each time. read more

I have eaten here several times since they opened and I am very impressed. The service is great and friendly while the food has been well priced and really tasty. Here are some favorites in no order: BBQ pork Bao Original Bahn Mi Pho Dip Shrimp and pork dumplings Rice noodles We have made it around most of the menu and nothing has been disappointing (the spicy Ma Mi can use more spice but it was good). read more

Amazing twist on tradition Vietnamese cuisine! The Spicy Jerk Beef Pho is packed with flavor, has the perfect amount of spice, and is even more accentuated by mixing in the sriracha and hoisin sauce. The Spicy Ma Mi Sandwich is also a hit, blending the heat from the chicken cutlet and jalapeños with the refreshing crunch of the pickled vegetables and creamy slaw. Wash it all down with a Thai iced tea and you have yourself a perfect meal! read more

We ordered Pho for take out. One beef, one seafood. We received two beef, one with no trimmings and with the meat left in the broth to boil to a rubbery consistency. No sprouts, no basil, no jalapeños, and the broth was as good as warm water. We called to complain that the order was incorrect and incomplete. They claimed they could not refund the order so I disputed it with my bank - which Ma Mi disputed. $35 + $7 cash tip thrown in the garbage. Additionally we both ate some of it only to become sick to our stomachs. Disgusting food. Disgusting service. And the nerve of them to dispute the charge back (I only asked for 1/2 of the charges for the wrong meal). Terrible restaurant. Go elsewhere. read more

For small town. The food is ok. The worst thing is the vegetables bag for the pho . All turn black already! !! read more

Ma Mi Eatery - The vegetables bag for the pho'! Turn black already!!!!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Closter, New Jersey

I was excited to find this place close by as I was craving pho. I ordered the beef pho, duck bao buns and a thai iced tea. I was super disappointed in the quality and lack of flavor of the food. The pho was disgusting and the bean sprouts tasted dirty like straight dirt almost as if they didn't even wash them and the beef was bland. I ended up throwing everything away except for the pho broth ( surprisingly tasty on it's own), which I ended up using to make my own meal the next day. Even the thai iced tea was sub par and thai iced tea isnt that hard to make. The only decent thing was the duck baos. At least the duck was moist and flavorful. Overall, I will definitely not be ordering from here again. I am upset I waited so much money on a meal. Also when I went to pick up my food (ordered off seamless) the girl was super rude. read more

Excellent food very nice sandwiches dumpling etc. my favorite one is grilled chicken sandwich. Place is very clean the staff is very friendly the owner is very professional. I walk to the place but you can use Uber eats and I think door dash. I highly recommend read more

Delicious sandwiches. Flavors different and interesting. This is a weekly meal in our home. Try the pad Thai dumplings, too.

All I can say is wow. I've been looking for a Vietnamese place to satisfy the Pho cravings and this place did more than that. I ordered the Spicy Jerk Dip sandwich and was blown away by the balanced flavors with a nice kick all while that courageous roll held everything in place nicely up to the last bite. The broth was delish but maybe not necessary. The coconut cheese fries were to die for and I could really have them every day. This place went beyond my expectations and I cannot wait to try every single thing on the menu. read more

Who knew good restaurants in Closter & this Vietnamese place is one of them! I had ordered the spicy jerk beef pho while cuzzie ordered the SOTD (special of the day) spicy mango fried chicken bahn mi and shared the pad Thai wontons and bbq pork bao buns. Everytingg yum! The pho wa flavorful and generous in noodle with a nice spice kick, the wontons are simple but since the pad Thai was made right it was good, the bao buns were generous in meat with lots of veggie toppings and the spicy mango fried chicken was a tad bit spicier due to the spiced mango and had proportioned flavorful fried chicken in the serving. Craving the pho now, must come again so0on! read more

Ma Mi Eatery has very delicious and fresh food ! All our family loves it . The owner is very nice

I've eaten here quite few times and the food has always been good. Their BAO buns are so good and sandwiches are very good too. I like how their menu is small and it has all the flavors you would like. During COVIS it has been hard because sandwiches get soggy during drive but can't wait to get back to dine in. read more

Love this place! Consistently delicious food My personal favorites are the spicy beef pho, chicken pad Thai, and the crispy tofu bao buns.

Best banh mi spot in the local area. Fairly priced sandwiches with a lot of variety. We tried the spicy ma mi & the pho dip. The spicy ma mi's buttermilk fried chicken was very light and crisp while not overly fried. The carrots and cucumbers that come on the sandwich are also very fresh & compliments the chicken well. The jalapeños are VERY spicy so I warn those who are not a huge fan of spice that this might not be the sandwich for you. The pho dip comes with a small serving of pho and the sandwich contains well marinated brisket. The brisket is juicy while also tender and not chewy. Would definitely make another visit soon. read more

Great food! The whole family loved it. The service was amazing and everything came out quick. Small dining room but we were able to sit comfortably with a family of 5! We have very picky eaters and they were very happy to accommodate that. They cooked to order so even my pickiest daughter was able to order it the way she liked it and at no time did they make us feel bad about having it prepared without ingredients. We had Pho Grilled chicken Original Banh Mi I am about to order another as they are fighting over it. BOA buns And chicken avocado summer rolls. Everything was great however the Bahn mi was exceptional. When we normally go out it easily cost us $110. We ordered a dinner for everyone + a sandwich and spring roll, and Boa buns and paid under $60! Excellent value and customer service We will definitely be back over and over again. read more

I recently found Vietnamese restaurant around my town. Ma Mi Eatery seems like 'Simply Vietnamese' station from Tenafly. They serve foods in disposal containers and To-go box. I had beef pho, dumpling and thai ice tea. Taste is good like HQ, but li'l pricy. read more

This place knows how to take care of their clients. Consistently with a very welcoming attitude. The food is conveniently priced, regularly yummy and clean. read more

I do order here regularly more out of necessity than desire since I live in the neighborhood. It is Pho in a bastardized takeout form managing to deliver the most basic resemblance of Vietnam's most iconic dish. The beef stock is slightly better than what you could whip up yourself with canned beef broth at home and a little TLC. The meat is cooked so well that it slightly resembles beef jerky in a noodle bowl. This place makes no effort to be authentic if you get my drift. But I digress...I still end up coming back from time to time for no other reason that it is the only PHO restaurant in the area.....and that is the secret to this place's success...lack of competition. The place is not terrible per se but neither is a Nissan instant Cup of Noodles.....sometimes eating by convenience is a necessity rather than a choice. read more

Delicious. I will be back with our family frequently. We had the chicken pho and buns. Definitely worthy!

I rolled through Closter while scouting mansions and found this place on yelp. I usually go to a very Authentic Vietnamese place on Kenmare in lower Manhattan so I had low expectations for a little town in Jersey. I got the original and I have to say it's one of the best I've had. The grilled pork was tender juicy and delectable. Loaded with grated carrots, cucumber and a couple jalapeños on top. I'm not sure if they hollow out the baguette but I love that it seemed very minimal on the bread yet still held everything in place. I just finished eating it and I am contemplating going back to pick up another for later - that's just how good it was. If you haven't tried it yet, no risk involved here. Enjoy! read more

A fan of their sandwiches..specifically the cold cut sandwich alongsidr a thai ice tea..simple and my go to for a baguette bite.

A great take out place! Food is always fresh and delicious. The tofu sandwich is to die for. Recently I got a catering order for a party and it was a hit! They gave a lot of food for a good price. It is completely worth taking food out from! read more

Amazing food! Been there a few times and will be going back soon. The jerk beef bao buns are amazing.

Very disappointed. We had eaten here before more than once and food was always good. This time it was sloppy. Like they didn't care. We asked for pho and the portion got smaller. I also got a duck bun (I've eaten before) and it was ridiculous. The bun was broken, there was a tinny piece of duck in the middle and no sauce. We live like 15 minutes away and were very tired after a long day to go back. Don't know if will order again. It used to be really good. read more

Love their tofu bahn mi sandwich! I usually take the fresh green beans out though as it throws the taste off for me. I also love their cauliflower buns - heavenly! Tried their soup but wasn't a fan (a bit bland). Staff is always friendly and efficient. Great place! read more

I got the spicy brisket pho. It was ready in minutes. I don't even know what to say. I did not know good could taste so good. The only downside is all future meals will taste drab by comparison. read more

The sandwich bread is crisp on the outside yet soft underneath. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. I had the chicken sandwich which was devoured in record time minus the jalapeño which is thoughtfully placed on the side. I also had room for one bun which too was excellent. Everything stayed warm for the takeout trip. read more

A hip little Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Closter. The place was small and it seemed like most of the orders were for takeout, but they had a bunch of tables for dining in. I ordered the Duck Bao Buns and the Pad Thai Dumplings. Everything was delicious. The buns were simple but had great flavor from the hoisin sauce, cilantro and crisp cucumbers. The dumplings were fried to perfection served with a nice sweet lime dipping sauce. I also had to order a Thai Iced Tea because who could resist? All in all an enjoyable experience. The staff at the counter were knowledgeable and explained the dishes very well and the food came out promptly. I'll be back! read more

Always friendly, clean. Bon mi sandwiches are very good. Had both chicken and pork. Only reason giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bread good have been fresher. Chicken and pork very tasty and juicy. read more

Debated between three stars but we saw a small cockroach crawling on the floor at the end of our meal which minused another star. Overall the establishment looked clean and service was friendly, but the girl behind the counter taking our orders couldn't recommend any of the foods on the menu cuz she didn't try anything. The food isn't bad here. But if you're looking for a good original, home cooked pho or bahn mi, you won't find it here. The food here seemed very Americanized to us. The pho was ok but nothing crazy delicious. We liked that it had lots of meat in it but it lacked the depth of fish sauce flavor that pho usually has. The bahn mi was the most disappointing. We got the classic and ma mi. Both had a good amount of meat and sauce but that was what we didn't like. The classic did not have pate like a good bahn mi should. There was so much meat and sauce that it overpowered the taste of what bahn mi should be. The pickled veggies did not taste pickled at all. It was just crunchy water. The cucumber in it wasn't crunchy either but more of a soggy feel. In the end it felt like we were eating a simple meat sandwich. I think the best thing we had here was the Thai iced tea. read more

Don't get me wrong, I used to love this place, it could have been great when it first opened, then it started feeling dirty. I gave this place so many chances, but every experience seemed filthy. From the personal hygiene of the person taking orders, to the sticky floors, to the weird smells and dirty mops/brooms laying around, to the kitchen staff walking in and out of the restroom. I began to see how the sandwiches, while good in theory, are just slapped together and the bread is always soggy. When I saw that their health department inspection grade was pending, I realized that you can always trust your gut when you walk in a restaurant. Restaurant owners continue to ignore the impact image and cleanliness has on customers. read more

Fast casual Vietnamese in a nondescript storefront in "downtown" Closter. Why is it like a half hour from the rest of Bergen County? Can someone invent a teleporter already? Limited menu but solid on what they do offer. It can be summed up as a base of salad, pho, banh mi, or rice bowl; add protein, accent with carrot, cucumber and mint. Would come more often if they had high chairs and shades for the front window- it gets bright and hot for summer dinners. Looking forward to winter pho visits. read more

This place is really clean and the ingredients in their food is so fresh. I love the signs on the walls of this place too. This is a take-out food or quick eating spot so there's not too much eating. I've only had the Bao Buns -- cripsy tofu, spicy jerk beef, and bbq pork and it was all really good and the I really the buns. I felt like it they could've put more food in the buns though. They are on the small side, that's why it's only $5 each, so a hungry guy would definitely need to order a few of these. My sister also ordered the thai iced tea which was a little watery. When I came here with my sister, we were a little annoyed by the cashier. This place is not like a sit-down restaurant so I don't expect the cashier to do anything too crazy but the cashier was so overtly unfriendly and did not seem happy to be there at all. It was the complete opposite from one of the owners who was helping out in the kitchen. The owner was so nice and we saw her come of out of the kitchen area and interacting with other customers too. A tip to the owners/management, when you hire young people to work for you business, make sure they believe in your business because they represent you. If we hadn't seen the owner and listened to her talking to other customers, I'm not sure that I'd give this place another chance because our first experience with the cashier was not the most pleasant. read more

Let me just start by saying WOW! We have now been by Ma Mi three times in two weeks to pick up take out. Every, single, solitary thing...IS AMAZING. Utterly delicious, cooked perfectly, seasoned impeccably, perfect sized portions, packaged well...and service with huge smiles and great personalities! The spicy ma mi: crispy chicken which stays crispy for HOURS later, just the right amount of spice, soft bread, an abundance of pickled vegetables. The Pho dip: while a little messy, scrumptious. Lots of meat and sprouts and plenty of jalapeños for a good kick! The broth to dip is delicious, ate half with and half without, excellent both ways! The original: tender grilled pork, aioli, crisp pickled vegetables. The bau buns are all amazing. Tender fluffy buns, crisp vegetables the meat is well seasoned and sauced. We really loved the pork & jerk beef, the duck was good but a touch sweet needed some more pickled veggies but the tofu THE TOFU is HEAVENLY! We could eat 15 of them and call it dinner! The summer roll was a great appetizer and would be a quick lunch as well! Fresh veggies tender shrimp wrapped correctly which is no small feat! The crispy dumplings are incredible and some how even with a 15 minute drive home crispy and filled with yummy pork and shrimp! All of their house made cold beverages are delicious as well! The shrimp chips are super crispy and make a cute sound when you dip them in the zesty sauce. The only thing, and we tell them this there, we cannot WAIT for them to roll out a dessert to round out a completely perfect meal. The girls at the counter are bar none some of the sweetest young ladies I've dealt with at a restaurant possibly ever, very bubbly and helpful with making choices if you aren't sure about what you might like. The wait is short, the restaurant is IMMACULATE. If you haven't been to Ma Mi you haven't lived.... Note there's no pictures because we have exactly no self control when it comes to this place!!! read more

Ordered via GrubHub, order neatly packaged, and earlier than scheduled which was a good start! The food all look delicious, duck buns being my favorite, chicken in spicy ban mi seasoned well but the all other items we ordered fell under expectations. Everything was just too sweet, it's like they accidentally used sugar instead of salt. Pad Thai was almost inedible, I had to douse it with Sriracha to balance out the sweetness. Dumplings not as sweet but definitely more sweet than salty in profile. read more

I frequent here about once a week. I have tried a lot of different dishes and every single one is amazing. The ingredients taste so fresh (especially the vegetables). I like the Pad Thai, fried rice, and spicy jerk beef pho. The place is very open and the atmosphere is very relaxed. I would recommend for a quick bite for lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed! read more

Saw really great reviews for MaMi and decided to order on UberEats. Maybe it was because I had it delivered? the food was just not what I expected it to be. I literally threw everything away after the first few bites. I ordered the pad thai and 2 orders of the buns and it was really disappointing. The pad thai had no flavor at all and could only taste the lime that I squeezed in. The buns were very soggy and it couldn't hold any of the meat. The meat was greasy and tasted sour. I guess this place isn't for me read more
