My mom & I went to lunch. I decided to try out this spot because I've heard raves about it. While the food was very flavorful, I think services could be a little warmer and more intentional. For example, my has a Jamaican accent, when the server came to the table to get our drink orders (we haven't had the chance to checked the menu as of yet) she began to to state her request and his initial tone was kind of aggressive. He could have simple ask for her to repeat. I will say his, attitude got better with each interaction there after and he frequently checked on us and offered to go containers and drinks for the road. Pros: Beautiful restaurant. Located close to the shopping centers in Brentwood
Great take. Friendly and fast service, clean and friendly environment. And great food, the bun no hue was amazing, the curry dish was great, drinks were good and desert was the best. Zero complaints will absolutely be back.
Mai Lee has become one of our reliable STL comfort spots. The menu is huge, but the staff is always kind and happy to help guide you if you're not sure what to order. My daughter especially loves the noodle dishes here, which makes it an easy family pick for us. Favorites: 17, 133, 34, 14, 54
Mai Lee rents space in places that don't even seem like they should be restaurants and then passes the savings on to YOU in the form of Chinese and Vietnamese food that's better than you can get anywhere else, but at a significant premium. I'd explain why that makes sense, but it's more work than I'm capable of, on a day when the weather is finally getting nice enough to go "knees out." My boss should feel lucky I even showed up today. He can't reasonably expect me to actually do anything. I've eaten here once or twice over the years and only ever ordered off of the Chinese menu, from which you really can't go wrong. I was there last night with members of my running group. I wasn't sweating showing up in gym clothes, like Sam Jackson and John Travolta after they had to clean out the back of that car in Pulp Fiction, because this place is next to a gym, and I bet they get a lot of larger women who wander over in ostensibly not transparent yoga pants. Granted, a lot of girls dress like that everywhere they go, especially in Richmond Heights. This was my first time visiting a Vietnamese restaurant since I went to Vietnam, and I was feeling adventurous. I'd seen the proverbial man in black pajamas up close, and I was ready to sample his wares. No Diddy. I toyed with the idea of just picking a number between 1 and 200, since this place has roughly 200 numbered menu items, but I decided against that. I needed to at least read the descriptions, uselessly vague though they might be, lest I received something with a "protein" I wasn't expecting. Ahem. No matter how much you study the menu, as if it's test-prep for a crucial GED exam, you never really know what you're going to get until they bring it out. But you probably can't go wrong. I went with number 165, which was the first thing listed under Specialties. I can't remember what it's called, and the name might be utter nonsense, like when people get Chinese characters tattooed on their lower back. It consisted of shrimp, scallops and crab sticks, along with vegetables of some sort, with charred rice in oyster sauce. It's served in a boiling cauldron that must be kept six miles below the earth's surface, where they're keeping Epstein until the coast is clear, until it's ready to be served. The top layer is just rice, like mashed potatoes on a shepherd's pie, but you can hear the inside sizzling like a fajita. You're warned to not try to actually eat it from the serving dish. The food itself is insanely hot. You have to let it sit on a plate a little bit just to cool off. It's a generous helping of seafood, except when you take the cost into consideration. One of those items is those imitation crab sticks they used to sell deep-fried at Chinese food restaurants in the hood, known colloquially as... uh, never mind. I'd complain, but I find them weirdly delicious. Everything about this dish was delicious. The sauce was slightly, almost imperceptibly, sweet, with a caramelized onion flavor. The scallops were somehow not overcooked despite how hot everything was. I'm at a loss for how they got the rice perfectly crisp and yet not overcooked into oblivion. I could have done without the tails on the shrimp, but what are you gonna do? I ordered a Japanese beer that the waiter forgot to put on my bill. I pointed it out, in order to appear to be classy in front of women, but he said don't worry about it. He may have been concerned that I was toying with the idea of not leaving a tip, for cultural reasons. Admittedly, I was. I'll have the users of this app--including any ladies who might be reading this--know that not only did I tip 20%, but I rounded up to the nearest dollar. You're welcome.
Mai lee... you needn't an introduction. An absolute STL institution. Good luck driving by around dinner and snagging a seat. The place stays jumping. Full of flavor, sometimes just simple dishes with solid execution are all a kid can ask for. This place does it. A novel of a menu can be intimidating at first glance. Stick with the basics, or maybe get a bit adventurous! Service is great. The vibes are consistent with a cantonese style eatery on a grander scale. The dish was great. I got their lemon grass chicken essentially. It was a bit heavier than many vietnamese dishes I have eaten, but flavor was great and it had a good portion of chicken. Sometimes these stir fried dishes get bogged down by too many veggies. This one has great balance of meat:vegetable.
Duh M. was our server. He was busy but definitely kept an eye on us. Helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Excellent service. Upon walking in hostess was welcoming. 15 min wait but it went quickly. This is a busy place. Open And well lit. We ordered chicken wings. Shrimp lo mein with added cabbage, Shrimp St. Paul , won tons, plain rice. Cooked hot and fresh. I will definitely come back to try different items on the menu.
I don't know if I could love a place more. Maybe of they had booths and a little more privacy in the dining area but will absolutely love this place forever. Huge fan, and the wait staff are awesome and always on it. The food is next level, and I wish they had cooking classes because I want to be able to make some of this when I'm not in the area. Top 10 on STL for sure, cheers to 40 more years Mai Lee!
I absolutely enjoyed myself at this place my first time coming the inside is very spacious our server was soooo nice gave some awesome recommendations like the Mai Lee sampler platter and Pho I got the shrimp pho and it was sooooooo good I drank all the broth lol The spring rolls as you see are huge which is very nice. Came here for lunch the inside of the restaurant was very spacious. They are in the Brentwood area a few mins from Galleria Mall. So it was perfect after I finished some shopping I came here for a nice lunch! Will definitely be back to try something different
Not bad. Didn't have any of the pho, com, or mi dishes. Instead oddly had some more home cooked dishes recommended by our waiter who thankfully spoke Vietnamese! Bo lúc lát was good and my colleague had the thơm xấu. Tried the nem cuốn too and thought there would be more than 2 rolls and more nem for how big they were Great for large parties looking for a place that serves alcohol. Will have to come back and try the traditional dishes. I did appreciate the Vietnamese and English menus and how diverse their menu options were with Vietnamese and Chinese
Mai Lee was good. The restaurant is a sort of cafeteria-hall vibe which is interesting, but the menu is large and very authentic. The menus are mobile and you use a QR code to read it. Here's what we got: -Potstickers: 8.5/10 - The dumpling dough was thick, which made them unique and delicious. The sauce that they came with was also to die for. -Vit Ca Ry (Duck Curry): 8/10 - The broth is incredibly aromatic, with a lovely coconut base flavor. The bowl is HUGE and we did wish that some of the ingredients (potatoes and carrots) were cut smaller for ease of eating. However, the duck leg was moist and the noodles were plentiful. -Bun Ga Nuong (Noodle bowl with Chicken): 7/10 - This was good, but simple. I do wish that the chicken was more flavorful, and that it had been presented more beautifully like the rest of the dishes. But it did the job.
Very delicious. The service was a bit weird, but nothing that was off-putting. We came here after quite the drive, so we took turns using the bathroom after we decided on our orders. No one came to take our orders until everyone was seated at the table. It was quite busy inside and outside. We were sat inside where it was a little loud. I enjoyed the decoration. The food was splendid. I got a meal from the Vietnamese portion of the menu. However, someone in my party got a meal from the Chinese menu and was not impressed considering the price.
Mai Lee Food Review My friend took me out before a show and encouraged me to try something new instead of my usual #142. The server suggested the #152 GF Dau Hu Chien Gion - crispy tofu stir-fried with onions, served with their special pepper lemon sauce ($22.95). I ordered mine without onions and added veggies for an extra $6.00 - definitely worth it. The tofu was perfectly crisp with great flavor, and the vegetables were cooked in a garlicky mix that was delicious even on their own. I'm not a big lemon pepper fan, but I gave the sauce a try and was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors came together. If you love lemon pepper, you'll really enjoy this dish. Personally, I'd order it again with a different sauce, but it was still very good. It reminded me that I need to step out of my comfort zone and try new menu items more often. There was a small hiccup with my order because the restaurant was busy, but the server was kind and quickly corrected it. That's what good customer service is about--fixing the issue with care. Overall, Mai Lee continues to deliver excellent food and service. They never miss a beat, and I'll definitely be back. If you haven't already, get out there and try something new on the menu--you might be surprised like I was! Yes this was all vegan.
The guys at the bar always take care of me when I come in for lunch. They have a big carryout business and they pump it out along with the bar area seating.

Every time I come here it never disappoints me. I just left and my food is immaculate. The ambiance is so wonderful also. And the service is great her people who answer the phone never want to make it accommodation but when I talk to Mai Lee she hooks your girl up with fried rice extra dark cuz I wanted to taste like the hood right from the north side of stl. Thank you and remember me this time Hannah the mail lady read more

Mai Lee has been a staple in the St. Louis area for years, and I've been coming here for a long time, including for date nights. As a family-owned restaurant, it has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and an extensive menu with plenty of Vietnamese dishes to choose from. The food is generally good, although it can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on what you order. Most of the time, I leave satisfied, and there are several dishes that keep me coming back. The service can also vary depending on who you get, but one consistent highlight is the female owner. If you're lucky enough to sit at the bar when she's there, she'll make sure you're taken care of and goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome. What keeps me returning is the combination of the large menu selection, and the comfortable atmosphere. While not every visit is perfect, Mai Lee remains a local favorite that's worth trying, especially if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and a place with a long-standing reputation in the community. One of my longtime favorites was the chicken bánh mì, although I haven't had it in a while. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the shrimp spring rolls. They're always fresh, flavorful, and paired with a delicious dipping sauce that keeps me ordering them every visit. While not every experience is perfect, Mai Lee has earned its place as a local favorite with its family-owned charm, extensive menu, and dishes that keep customers coming back year after year. The shrimp spring rolls alone are worth the trip! read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in the area! I come here quite often, and they never disappoint. I especially love their mango sticky rice -- it's honestly one of the best I've had. The mango is always fresh and sweet, and the sticky rice is perfectly soft with just the right amount of coconut flavor. Overall, the food is consistently good, and this place has definitely become one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend! read more
Definitely not my favorite Vietnamese food, but friendly service and a busy place for lunch. The rice plates were very decent and the pork wasn't too bad, the nem nuong cuon (grilled pork spring rolls) were plump but disproportionately light on pork. The location is super convenient, right next to the light rail station. Can't knock it, and didn't expect decent Vietnamese food out here! read more
Decided to try Mai Lee after hearing everyone I know rave about it! I always take it as a good sign when it's busy in the middle of the day. The location of the restaurant is a little off to me, it's in a very corporate space. The tables were relatively clean and the bathrooms were decent. I got the wonton soup and was a little disappointed with how overly porky it tasted. I'm aware that it's made with pork meat but the broth was hard to sip on because the ham taste was so strong. The wontons were nice and big though. The chicken lo mein was very redeeming, quite possibly the best I've had in a while. The only thing I'd change about it is the size of the chicken pieces. I get the chicken "ick" quickly and only wish for them to be smaller! read more

Finally got to try the famous Mai Lee. Came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was a little busy but was seated right away. Our waiter was nice and gave is plenty of time to look over the menu. The meun is long and can be a bit overwhelming. I ordered the chicken fried rice and crab rangoon. The person I came with ordered a shrimp st Paul. All of the food was great and flavorful. I only took off one star because in addition to having water I asked for a Dr. Pepper. It was flat/carbon like tasting. I think they need to change that out but other that it was overall a decent meal. As always until next time... read more
I had been told when I moved here that this place has the "best pho in St. Louis" and I was definitely pleasantly surprised. On a Tuesday night, it was extremely busy, every table filled and people coming in constantly for to-go orders. The lychee martini hit the spot with a strong and delicious lychee flavor cutting thru. When ordering I was surprised and extremely dissapointed there was no pork pho option so I opted for beef. At other pho places I've been to there's usually multiple size options (small and large) but that was not the case at Mai Lee. Additionally for $16 I would've expected more. Overall, the taste of the pho was incredible and got me out of my comfort zone with the beef, and the cocktail was great, however was let down by the lack of options and the price to size ratio. read more
I heard of Mai Lee being good but I didn't know it was poppin-on-a-random-tuesday-night good! When we walked in we didn't expect it to be so lively! Our wait time was only 10 mins and we were seated promptly. For appetizers we got crab rangoon and bbq ribs. The crab rangoon was sooo hot and fresh. It was so good we ordered it a second time. For entrees we had special fried rice (subbed shrimp for more beef). It was absolutely delicious and plentiful. We totally could've shared it with like 4 people! Sesame chicken was flavorful as well and the broccoli paired with it was also fresh. We also ordered a ham St. Paul. It was my first time ever trying one so I'm not sure how I felt about it, my boyfriend said it was pretty good tho! Our server did seem a little mad/straight forward but that didn't take away from our food experience. If you're someone who gets overstimulated by loud noises, I recommend sitting on the side where there's no bar. We were okay with a tall table so we were seated next to a lady at the bar who was a little louder than everyone else and it was a bit annoying but once again, still enjoyed everything about this place. I would totally come back and bring my family next time! read more
Coming here tonight was a stroke of genius. After a full week of Italian food and steaks we needed something else and pho was the choice. We arrived and were quickly seated and provided water. After sitting at the table awhile I finally noticed a card with a QR code on it we should scan to see the menu. Luckily, our server, Duy M, showed up and provided some real menus. We ordered the number 46 egg rolls and the number 10 and 12 pho. I'd say the food came out fast and Duy was a super server. At least all the goodies you put in the bowls was plentiful and Duy even brought out some extra bean sprouts. The egg rolls were just eh. The pho was good but not great. Have had better in Tucson, but for tonight it hit the spot. Busy large and full dining room, well lit and moderate noise but very simple. It's clearly popular here. read more

Delicious Vietnamese and Chinese dishes! The service is quick and knowledgeable. Ambiance is modern and pretty. My kids and I went out for a belated Mother's Day dinner. I ordered the beef with peppers, my daughter ordered the pho ga which is like chicken noodle soup and my son ordered General Tao's chicken. We ordered potstickers and crab Rangoon to share plus water, Vietnamese iced tea or iced coffees to drink. There is a good sized patio available for dining too. Leftovers were delicious the next day too. read more

In all the years I have been going to Mi Lee(even when they were on Delmar) and when in town l, I would take family. This is the FIRST time we had such a VERY disappointing experience where the much of the food didn't taste fresh. Even after appetizers, I had to waive down the server so we could even order. There was a group of 3-4 employees sitting at table near kitchen just yapping away. The appetizers were delicious. We all enjoyed them. My Lunch (egg Foo Yoong combination lunch) Sweet & Sour soup was good but lunch portions were small and dried out and just didn't look nor taste fresh. My son and wife ordered the Pho which appeared "OK" but my wife was still disappointed; not much meat in either Pho. My MIL ordered "Chicken Fried Rice" where rice was heavily soy seasoned & and almost like refried to look fresh. Plus as a meal dish , at $17.95 it barely had any chicken meat; almost all rice. My son's beef dish also was sparse on meat and sauce too sweet. We finished only 1/2 our meals (and except for appetizers, we ate them). Took home rest of food. My son didn't even want to eat rest of his meat dish as taste was too sweet. The pho only had mostly noodles and bean sprouts. For the 5 of us with mandatory 18% "tip" total was almost $200. I've spent more elsewhere but food was delicious. I hate spending $ (their lunch menu is even overpriced and same price like regular menu. I believe and hurts me to say this was our LAST time. Unfortunately, the prices were all over priced for lack of quality and minuscule meat portions. This is NOT the Mi Lee I remember. My 11 year old said he preferred another Vietnamese restaurant where we have never been disappointed. read more
This is a popular casual Vietnamese restaurant in Brentwood. They have plenty of seating available but it can get busy during dinner on weekends. Our go to dishes are the chicken pho and bun rieu. The broth for chicken pho is so rich and flavorful. I like the bun rieu because it's spicy tomato and crab-based broth with crab meat and shrimp and rice noodles. Both dishes are gluten-free as well. Vietnamese coffee brews in front of you and then you mix the condensed milk in for a rich but creamy flavor. Service is always fast and friendly. read more

This place gets really busy but good thing we were seated right before it got too packed. Server was really nice and quick, he remembered our orders and would often check up on us. Food was not too bad (I'm from Toronto so we have a good amount of Vietnamese food). My friends enjoyed their food as well. We got pho, general Tso's, chicken chow mein, and duck. Overall, not a bad Vietnamese spot. read more
Just ordered the Hu Tieu Mi for takeout on a whim and it was just as good, if not better than the pho! I've never branched out much from Mai Lee's pho, but so glad I tried this other soup dish. It's similar but a totally different flavor profile, with a rich chicken broth and seafood and pork meats. Delicious! read more

A parked in tnt parking garage and there was plenty of free parking. Once we came in, the hostess could've been friendly but not a big deal. Usually when you walk into an establishment, the hostess would greet and ask how many. I just looked at her until she acknowledged us with her words. Once we were seated, water was delivered and our waiter followed behind. The service after was really good. We came during lunch so it wasn't too crowded. I really enjoyed my shrimp St Paul and hubby liked his food as well. He said the rice a a little bland but not too bad when you mix it with the sauce. I also ordered the Mai Lee tea with vodka. Delicious! This is a place we would very likely return to. read more

Do they serve Hainanese chicken?
What menu on the website should I look at for Saturday lunch?
Due to the pandemic, I would call them to verify
Is a fire pot the same thing as hot pot?
I don't think so...I believe the fires they have a burner going under it when they deliver to the table.
