I wasn't sure what to expect when we entered Mai's. I was happy to see that their menu had a good amount of vegetarian options as well as meat. They actually have a little section for vegetarians, which isn't really common at Vietnamese restaurants. One thing that stood out, was that our server automatically knew we would be sharing our dishes and brought us extra bowls and utensils for sharing. I greatly appreciated this gesture. The food did take a bit longer than usual to come out. However, the hot and sour soup with shrimp was amazing. The soup was super concentrated and was probably the best that I have had. They were generous with the filling in the soup. Normally I get this with noodles, but it was great on it's own. The vegetarian spring rolls were nice and crispy. They were full of flavor. The servers checked on us a few times and came to make sure if we needed anything else before the read more

The green Papaya salad was so fresh and delicious. I would order this again. I should have ordered two and had a the other for lunch the next day! The service was not the best. read more

Great menu and all the dishes I have had here are great. The Saigon egg rolls are a must and the salad rolls are fresh and peanut sauce is good. I generally the the beef noodle soup with rare beef slices and meatballs but have had some of the other combinations and they are all delicious. Curry chicken on rice is good and so is the vermicelli. Can't go wrong with any of the meals and you leave full but not feeling bloated or stuffed as nothing is too heavy and all seems kinda like healthy eating. read more

We came on a weekday evening for dinner and was immediately greeted by an enthusiastic server upon walking in. The restaurant is not big but does have ample of seating (including booths). It was around half full when we arrived so there was no wait but it got busier as the night progressed. There is a good variety of soup noodle dishes, rice, vermicelli, and appetizers - the typical dishes found in Vietnamese restaurants. We both opted for a soup noodle. What stood out what that their broth seemed quite "clear" meaning that it wasn't overly salty like some other restaurants that pack their soups with MSG. It could have been a touch more flavourful and fragrant as there was just a very subtle hint of the spices and herbs in the broth. The meats were thinly sliced so the beef was practically cooked by the time we received the dishes. The meats were also quite lean so they were tough. We understand that food costs are very high right now, but we were kind of surprised that tea costed $1 per person (server did not tell us) and we weren't given refill or the teabag. The sauces for the noodles came in a little condiment dish so if you want extra hot sauce, you have to pay extra. Portion was a bit small for the prices charged. I ordered a medium and got full from drinking some of the broth and eating 2 people's portion of beansprouts (my partner didn't eat his portion). Service is good though - the server was friendly and always had a smile on his face. While the meal was enjoyable, nothing stood out for us. read more

Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

Mai's is excellent! The food was super tasty and came out quickly. The service was professional and efficient. We had the Hanoi salad spring rolls to start- surprisingly large- yay! I had the NHA Trang Beef stew which was amazing- big chunks of tender beef with similarly big carrot chunks. Lots of noodles too - how did I eat all that? A mystery of anatomy I suppose. We also had the papaya salad and the vermicelli with spring rolls. For the quantity of food the price was quite reasonable. I want to come back. read more

Ordered takeout and picked it up, they bagged it so the heaviest item was on the top, so when transporting it, it fell over, lost half of the curry all over the other items in bag. As for the food, very forgetable, Pad Thai has no flavor, the curry was just okay and the stirfry really needed to be spiced up, the dishes were very bland. read more

Their spring rolls are amazing! Will return just for these. The salad rolls are massive and really good as well. The pho was nicely flavoured - not sure why this place is not busier. Definitely coming back. read more

Great service, good menu selection and they offered a few extra small garnishes which were a nice touch. We ordered beef pho and spring rolls. Spring rolls were great, pho broth on the lighter side but they had pickled radish and garlic on the side which paired perfectly. Would recommend. read more

Mai's is consistently great. The Pho is tasty, as are many of the menu items. Service is friendly and efficient. Prices have risen, but are well in line with alternative restaurants in the area. Nothing fancy, completely casual. Easy parking. Mai's is a favourite lunch spot for many. read more

We were in the area and I wanted Vietnamese for lunch. After a quick Yelp search, we ended up at this restaurant. We were seated right away. Menu was available with a QR code on the table. We ordered the house special beef noodle soup, lemongrass sliced beef vermicelli bowl and Saigon spring rolls. Food arrived fairly quickly. Everything was made well. The beef noodle soup had a light broth that was not greasy. There was a decent amount of noodles and beef toppings. The vermicelli bowl was colourful with fresh veggies. The beef was a bit on the chewy side. The spring rolls were perfect. I prefer spring rolls made with rice paper instead of the wheat wrapper. The crispness is just a bit better in my opinion. The pork and mushroom filling was tasty. Covid precautions were in place. There was a plastic barrier between tables. Staff wore masks. Hand sanitizer was available at the front of the restaurant. Restaurant was clean. Prices were higher than average. This was one of the more expensive vermicelli bowls I have eaten. The spring roll was a $5.50 add on which placed the bowl at $21.50. Most competitors would have priced a similar bowl for less. If you like quality Vietnamese food and do not mind paying a bit more, this is a good option in the area. read more

Was doing errands around this area and was craving pho so we came across this small joint and it definitely satisfied my cravings. Being in the Langley area a lot, I don't think there are decent Vietnamese restaurants around but the city is coming up ! Everything we got lived up to it's name and I would definitely come here again. read more

We order their vegan peanut pho soup when we go. We love it. The meal is large so we take half home for another meal. The prices and service are very good. We go often. As I write this I am craving to go again today. read more

Price point is not the cheapest in the lower mainland, but the delicious flavour and quality quickly makes up for it. Customer service is fast and attentive, but not too pushy-- Just perfect! Overall I felt very welcome and enjoyed the dishes I ordered. The pho is phenomenal, and Mai's Platter comes with a LOT of food for the price! Thank you for the great experience, I will recommend this to my peers. read more

I came here quite a long time ago and I can't believe I forgot about this little gem! I'm always trying to find new Vietnamese restaurants in Langley that aren't too overpriced and satisfy my tastebuds. This place did the trick! The prices are a tiny bit higher than other places I've been, but I remember they gave lots of noodles, the soup was clear, and there was a good amount of meat. I don't like when the soup is sweet at some places, and Mai's was pretty darn good. Not too sweet, not too salty. I also had a Vietnamese coffee because ya can't go to a Vietnamese restaurant without getting their coffee! It was alright, but I've been to Vietnam so maybe my standards are higher. Will definitely need to visit again! read more

I'm from out of town and I've been to this restaurant 3 times already. Here is my opinion: Food- tasty with quality ingredients and nice presentation. Variety of dishes to choose from is a bonus. Price- middle of the road, decent. Ambience- clean & relaxing with stylish decor Location- easy to find & plenty of parking lots I will definitely come back here again. read more

Best Vietnamese in town. It's about a dollar over the normal price- But it's an upscale Vietnamese restaurant in comparison to the norm. Great food, amazing flavors, nice presentation, staff is very friendly. My only complaint is that they had Alicia Keys "Doesn't mean anything" playing on repeat. I think we heard over 10 times while we were having lunch.... Other than that, I'm a fan! read more

Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant - Spring roll vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

See all

I hate to downgrade this to 3 stars, but when I ventured out of Bun (vermicelli) territory, the pho was decidedly average. Further, our server - while friendly - definitely wasn't trained well. Also, they removed several of the delicious curries from the menu. My companion ordered the Hui style soup, which is described on the menu as having vermicelli noodes. It came with thick noodles - a little thinner than udon. Now there may be places in the world where vermicelli is a thick noodle, but I've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant where it was. Anyway, the broth was quite weak as well, so we sent it back and ordered basic pho. However, they both showed up on our bill, and it took a couple conversations before the server finally removed it. That shouldn't have been a question. I can no longer recommend Mai's as anything but an average quality, incredibly clean restaurant, with servers who are - though friendly - inexperienced. read more

I came on a weekday lunch and ordered the house special pho - give me all the goodness! I opted for the regular instead of a large (although the large is probably a manageable portion). After adding the necessary bean sprouts and basil, I was ready to dig in. The broth was flavorful without being too overpowering or salty and there was so much meat, for once I was afraid I wouldn't have enough noodle!! I won't say this is the best pho I've had in my life, but it was definitely up there in terms of broth taste, noodle texture, and meat flavor. The service was quick and extremely polite, able to manage a full house and occasional takeouts smoothly. The location in an oddly shaped plaza makes it easy to miss, but strongly recommend if you've got that noodle soup craving! read more

Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant - So much meat!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

The service is really good The food is really good too but I will not be back, we ordered the soups and it turns out you only get 2 tablespoons worth of hoisen sauce and if you want more it's 50¢ for an extra 2 tablespoons. Sorry but I need my hoisen. read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant in town! always great service and the food is so tasty. stop in often for a quick bite and have the Mai's roll combo (fresh salad roll with pork and shrimp and a fried spring roll). Today we were treated to a new menu item (not yet available) to taste test. They have several new menu with vegan friendly items coming out shortly (under new management). super excited to taste what else they have as this new papaya salad was incredible! read more

Pros: Great portion sizes, affordable compared to other vietnamese restaurants in the area, quality of food is excellent: very savory cooked meats and sauces (authentically from vietnam i hope), our take out order remained fantastic, everything we ordered was delicious. Cons: Wings - I was very underwhelmed by their chicken wings - probably unfairly assuming these wings would be on a 'phnom penh' level but sadly not even close. Location -A little hard to find, tucked in by the McDonalds. read more

Well disappointed. Had to pay extra for won ton. A buck each. They were very small. The one was the size of a pea. Had the seafood. Soup the problem was I was not seeing much sea food. My go to place in Langley was closed. I hope it's not forever. I did see some others plates it looked. Good. I may go back. But not for soup. read more

Gave 4 stars the first time I came a couple years back. This time went down to 3, probably because I've since had more pho in Vancouver. Definitely not up to the same standard... smaller bowl and less meat for a higher price ($11 for medium, $12 for large but not large enough for even my 10-year-old brother). But I guess that's the difference between the city and the suburb... the place was super busy for Sunday lunch, we barely got a table. Service was decent though, and food came quicker than expected. read more

All the good reviews looked promising. However, it was mediocre at best. Slightly below average. The broth was okay. Slightly lacking flavour when eaten with the noodles, but tasted okay on its own. The plate of bean sprouts were sparse and didn't have any jalapeño peppers. It was quite overpriced in my opinion. A large pho is $12 and two salad rolls/spring rolls are $11. How does that pricing make any sense? I got a large pho. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as $12 should've been. I probably won't be coming back. read more

Good flavours, as all Vietnamese places we have in the valley and surrounding. Can't help but feel the restaurant owners being a little greedy on pricing with some things on the menu. Sharing a building with an Asian grocer, extra veg still cost $4. Most dishes are a few dollars more than the average Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Not the authentic traditional Vietnamese cuisine... doesn't taste good at all... won't come back again

Came here on a Sunday night around 7pm a few weeks ago and both bowls of soup noodles ordered were cold, barely room temperature. The broth wasn't even warm enough to cook the rare beef and the beansprouts. The restaurant was half full too. There was a lot of options on the menu that you might not see at most vietnamese menus, but not sure if the rest of them come hot. read more

Super happy yum, Lemongrass chicken, spring roll, Delish in my tum. read more

For Vietnamese food in the valley, Mai's is a cozy beacon in a land of chain restaurants and questionable fast-food Asian joints. I waver between the vermicelli bowls and the house special pho. The pho broth doesn't make me excessively thirsty, which I really like. The spring rolls are also served hot and crunchy, with nice presentation. Service has always been courteous and friendly, and the food is consistent. When I worked across the street I used to come here all the time; now it's reserved for the times when I'm out on that side of the Fraser and need a warm hot bowl of noodles. read more

Nice find! This a Westernized Vietnamese restaurant, not totally authentic, but very good nonetheless. Place is very clean, and the decor and feel is good and warm. Had the coconut chicken curry which was spicy, but not as spicy as it may have been at a pho place... still great though! Deep fried banana for dessert, and I tried my friends Avocado milkshake... very nice! I will definitely go back, service was friendly and it was reasonably priced as well. read more

I can say this is hands down the best vietnamese I've had... It's strange to be in a Vietnamese place that's so fancy... I'm used to the more divey joints. Always friendly and fast service...always good food. read more

At first I thought the prices were a little high, but then the food came and the bowl was huge and had some good ingredients. I liked that the vermicelli bowl came with some greens and veggies in it. I would have liked a bit more of the broth stuff that goes on it, though. Ah well. What can I say, I like the sauce. Overall, the restaurant is very nice, clean and inviting. It's a bit hard to find, since it is tucked behind a produce store, but once inside it is spacious and nicely decorated. The bathrooms are quite pretty, too. The service was fine and the food tasty and plentiful. I left quite full after a bowl of the lemongrass chicken vermicelli, which was $9. As others have said, there are lots of alternatives to Vietnamese on the menu. However, I didn't see much in the way of vegetarian fare except for mixed vegetable curry. Perhaps the spring rolls are veggie. This is definitely a good place to go for some moderately priced food in a pleasant atmosphere. read more

This place came recc'd because it won Best of the Best. It was really good pho. Was it the Best? Prob not. That's reserved for the Green Leaf in Seattle. But it was delicious. The rare beef was tender. Broth fragrant and tasty. Fresh bean sprouts and Thai basil. Kids liked the spongy beef balls! We also had the Vietnamese coffee. Kinda pricey at 3.75$. Kinda stingy with the condensed milk.. The waitress seemed tired, couldn't be bothered. Bordering on abrupt. My son said she was fine :). Gave her a big tip. read more

This place is average. The Phnom Penh noodle was fine. The bbq pork chop was way too salty. It seems a bit pricey but maybe it's on par with the neighbourhood. Service was fine. Place was fine. Everything was fine and not too special. Everyone seems to like the pho. I'll have to give that a try next time. read more

Came here for the first time last weekend. Why did I wait so long?! I had the green papaya salad & was so pleased I did. It was so fresh & delicious, I will definitely order it again. Perfect for a hot summer day. I'll be back for sure. The place is clean & the staff is friendly. read more

One of our hometown favourites. A go-to spot a couple times a month. Chicken curry, Pho and spring rolls are a must have here. Sometimes they do switch up ingredients based on market price (lemon wedge instead of lime, parsley instead of cilantro), which I am not a fan of restaurants doing. For the most part, it's good quality. read more
