Love this spot! So happy that they opened a Vietnamese restaurant so close to me. The spring rolls are amazing, calamari so crispy and the food so tasty! Love everything I've ordered here so far. I will be back. Service is also great. The owners are so kind and accommodating.

Relatively new restaurant that has comfortable seating and was pretty quiet on a weekday. The pho was solid and on par with other spots, but the grilled pork rice dish was missing some of the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The beef summer roll, though, was tasty and went really well with the dipping sauce. Overall, a nice addition to the neighborhood.

As the weather gets colder I tend to gravitate to warm, comforting foods. Pho is usually high on that list, but until recently it was hard to find in Bay Ridge. Thankfully we now have Mai's. Inside is brightly lit, and the staff are all warm and inviting. They are quick with menus, quick with the food, and it seems almost like they remembered my wife and me from our first visit. Pluses all around :) So far we've only ever had the pho (both beef and chicken), and they were exactly what we both wanted. I will agree that the broth isn't as nuanced as some of the best pho I've ever had, but this is certainly a delicious bowl of noodles that satisfies all of the comfort cravings I have.

Mais Vietnamese Restaurant is a gem. The space is cute, modern, and incredibly clean. It feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. I had the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken and it was fresh, flavorful, and tasted truly authentic. The herbs were crisp, the noodles were light, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. I also ordered a bowl of bone broth pho and it was clean, comforting, and rich with depth. Nothing heavy, just pure, nourishing flavor. The real surprise was the salty plum with seltzer. It was my first time trying it and it hit all the right notes -- sweet, salty, and full of umami. Super refreshing and unique. This spot is a go-to if you want quality Vietnamese food in a calm and thoughtfully kept space.

Mai's has been a great and much needed edition to Bay Ridge. The restaurant is clean and spacious and the service is fairly quick. I've dined here on several occasions since their opening and tried a variety of dishes. The food feels like homestyle cooking with a clear pho broth that is light and fragrant and they provide you with a full plate of aromatics (cilantro, thai basil, jalapeno, bean sprouts, lime). The fried appetizers (spring rolls and shrimp rolls) are nice and crispy and served with fresh lettuce and pickled carrots and daikon. The chicken satay wasn't your traditional satay but tasty nonetheless and the portion was generous with big chunks of chicken on 4 skewers. Tip - they have a grand opening promo where you get a free order of spring rolls when you spend $30 or more.

Food was delicious highly recommended Great portion. Service was a bit slow. But that's okay.

One of my favorite foods when it gets colder is pho, so I'm very glad that this spot opened this fall. I've been getting the grilled chicken pho, which comes with a generous portion of chicken alongside a big bowl of noodle soup and the usual accompaniments of bean sprouts and herbs. Everything has been very fresh, and the service has been quick and helpful. Very glad to find a new pho spot before the winter!

My friend and I came on a rainy weekday and it was quiet. We were seated immediately and the service was quick. I tried the beef noodle soup and it was okay, but the soup was slightly on the salty side. There was a lot of noodles which helped fill me up but there weren't that many slices of beef. There's several tables inside and is clean.

1. Large Beef Pho (Noodle Soup)
Julie B.

Enjoyed a large delicious bowl of pho today. The broth was tasty, complex yet not muddy. With delicious bits of tender beef and tendons. Honestly a really good value. Simple clean decor and attentive service. Really hit the spot after a long chilly day.

Food here was absolutely delicious!!!! Bahn Mi was stacked and I can't wait to have another salad bowl. This is my new fav spot!

Jess L.

Everything is good, food, service, prices and facilities. Also the portion is big. Very satisfying. I'll come back again.

Shrimp summer roll
Anna L.

The restaurant is well lit and looked and felt clean though the music was little loud. The service was quick and the wait staff was patient and checked on us sparingly. The only issues I had was with the pho broth and the saltiness of the foods. The broth in a beef pho is supposed to be savory, aromatic, and slightly sweet but the broth in the soup tonight wasn't that, it was overly salty and lacked flavor. The popcorn chicken is also really salty. The spring roll was good but also a little too salty. The summer roll could have been better. The experience wasn't bad but chef needs to ease up on the salt

This is my favorite takeout pho place! I've ordered from here multiple times…read more I would always order the summer roll, spring rolls, and sliced brisket pho. The summer roll has the right amount of spring and always lots of noodles and lettuce. The spring rolls always arrive still hot and still so crispy and good. The pho will come separately, a container of the soup and then another container of everything else. The soup would always still be hot! I always pour the soap into a bigger bowl that I have and then put everything else in. It never disappoints!

You know when a place has a limited menu they take care of all their foods. We ordered a pork bahn mi and a chicken bahn mi. An order of pirk dumplings and 2 drinks. The lychee drink and the taro milk drink with boba. The taro drink was creamy and light when drinking. The lychee drink was like a lychee flavor soda but so refreshing. Definitely get the lychee if you are unsure as that is what the worker recommended when i asked. The dumplings were small but yummy with their homemade sauce. I wish they were bigger but no other complaints. The bahn mi's were delicious i got the prok and the flavoring were juicy with their homemade sauce pickled carrots and cucumbers slices balancing it out. The bread was so crispy i throughly enjoyed. I will stop by again another time for the delicious Pho smell that was at the restaurant.

Must Try: Small plate / flattened bánh ít trần?, Grilled Chicken Banh Mi…read more Me and Tanzina came here and there was basically only one thing on the menu that didn't have pork, so options were a little limited for her. I ended up coming back and trying more later though. Grilled Chicken Banh Mi - 4.5/5 The chicken was juicy, tender, and had a good amount of flavor. They also give you a lot of meat. The pickled filling wasn't overly vinegary, which I liked. Bread was good, nothing crazy. I do wish they went heavier on the mayo and pâté because it could have used a little more moisture. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - 4.5/5 Pretty much the same strengths as the chicken version. Good meat, solid flavor, good bread, and a nice balance of fillings. Could still use a little more sauce, but overall really good. Triple Ham Banh Mi - 4/5 Decent, but not exactly how I like my banh mi. It was a little dry for me. Maybe I just prefer mine wetter and a little more loaded with condiments. Small Plate / Flattened Bánh Ít Trần? - 5/5 I still need to figure out the actual name of this, but it was excellent. Very fresh and surprisingly filling, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The sauce paired with it extremely well. Easily one of the best things I had here. Price - 5/5 Pretty cheap for a New York spot, especially considering the portions and quality. Experience - 5/5 Simple menu and everything has been pretty consistent. There's a decent amount of seating and it isn't too loud. Just know that you may need cash, and there's an ATM a couple blocks away. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially for the chicken banh mi and that small plate once I finally figure out what it's actually called.

Tasty Banh Mi sandwiches!…read more I ordered ahead and didn't wait very long on a Sunday early afternoon. I asked for my Banh Mi with less carrot and daikon which they happily accommodated. The sandwiches were a little light on meat but ask for more because the prices of these sandwiches are also similarly light. There were other tasty treats and Vietnamese groceries in the shop, they also had self serve fried spring rolls in a toaster oven as well for $1 each. The women who run the shop were sweet and quick.

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place wasn't busy, but they took reservations. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was Pho Ga (Chicken Noodle Soup), which was delicious, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Dumbo Brooklyn.

At first,…read morethe interior looks like you are walking into an office, not a restaurant; I had to do a double-take to make sure I walked in the correct door. I made a reservation for 6:30pm on a Friday, but the restaurant wasn't full at any point. Since the space is small, you are seated close to other people at peak dining hours. My friend and I both got the Bun Thit Nuong ($17) and we shared a Cha Gio ($11). The spring rolls left a lot to be desired, both presentation-wise and taste-wise. For presentation, the rolls would benefit from a smaller plate with a more curated selection of vegetables. The huge romaine inundates the dish, and we didn't end up eating it, so it just seems like a waste. Flavor-wise, the rolls were on the plain side, which do not justify the price. After that appetizer, I was pleasantly surprised by the entree. The pork was cooked and flavored well, and I gorged myself. Everything tasted fresh and refreshing! I also think for the portion size and the area, the price is worth it. Service was good in the sense that they did not rush us, but we had to ask for everything, from getting someone to take our order to asking for the check. The Bun Thit Nuong was the highlight, and I would eat it again if I was in the area!

We ordered the Cha Goi (Crispy Spring Rolls ($18), Pho Thin Ha Noi (Beef Pho $25), and Pho Ga (Chicken Pho). I was impressed by the meats for both phos, as they were tender. The beef had a good wok sear, while the white meat chicken surprisingly retained good moisture. Compared to Southern style pho, Northern is more clear, light broth and wider noodles. The beef pho had more flavor. You could add hot and sweet sauce to your liking as well. We have a go to place for northern pho, but Di An Di is fine. Just a little pricey. The spring rolls were delicious though. Would recommend. Would be interested to try their banh mi next time. If you are a first timer, they do give option for pho and banh mi set (which is a smaller pho bowl and half a bahn mi). The interior is spacious, but cozy. Modern with a sprinkle of traditional Vietnamese designs and plants. The staff was attentive and there was a unisex bathroom.

While the noodles came quick, the sandwich took about 20 minutes AFTER the noodles came. The sandwich was for my 4 year old since she's not the biggest fan of noodles. She was hungry and quite upset for the whole duration. The staff did come and informed us multiple times it was coming. But it took a total of 20 minutes for it finally come. The manager said it was a communication issue between the servers and the kitchen staff since we did request for the toppings to be on the side. They did apologize multiple times and did not charge us for that sandwich that took forever to come. If it weren't for that incident, definitely a solid 4 stars. Would I come back? I would, the food was good and hopefully they'll get everything correct next time.
