Outstanding Service & Delicious Food! 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! read more

Maui Pho - Pu Pu Platter - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My order was around $200, and when it was delivered, it was incorrect and missing several items. I tried calling the restaurant at about 8:50 p.m., just before their 9:00 p.m. closing time. Each time they answered, they immediately hung up. After several attempts, I was finally able to leave a voicemail. It honestly felt like they just sent whatever they had left instead of what I actually ordered. I ordered two family dinners, which each include chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli. However, we only received one order of orange chicken instead of two. We also ordered an additional order of chow mein and an order of teriyaki chicken, of which was not included. For such a large order, I expected much better accuracy and customer service. It's especially frustrating that I couldn't get anyone to help resolve the issue before they closed. read more

Maui Pho - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Interesting restaurant in Bakersfield. The inside is actually much larger and nicer than you might expect 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!

Love the new location. Haven't been here since the move. Way more elegant than the old place. I really didn't like the "check yourself in" process. Takes away the initial human touch first experience. The menu was extensive. So many things I could not decide. We ordered a pu pu platter so we could try a little bit of everything. Hubby was undecided over the Volcano and Maui Fried Rice. I had a long list of things I wanted to try. I settled on string beans and chicken. He decided on Maui Fried Rice and a guava lemonade (I think. Could have been Mango iced tea). Everything on the Pu Pu Plater was good. I tasted everything and would order everything again. Hubby said the fried rice gave his all time favorite place a "run for the money". He was very pleased with his dish. Now for my dish. . . the green beans were still very hard and the dish overall lacked flavor. Not sure I'd order that again. But that's not stopping me from going back. The server was super nice, friendly, and funny. Really enjoyed her. We ordered a wor won ton soup to go (for my son). He was hesitant at first because of all the vegetables but he really liked the flavor and texture of the won tons. read more

Maui Pho never disappoints. Even when they're busy, the service is efficient. Everything I've ordered has been delicious, and they have filling lunch specials. The staff is friendly, but busy so you have to sometimes we have to wave them down for help. It's the kind of place you can count on for consistently great food. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in Bakersfield! read more

I came with a party of 8 on a weekday for lunch. The interior was very colorful and welcoming. The food took a while to come out. But the portion sizes were quite large, especially for the pho. I ordered the special pho, which had a generous amount of meat. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee which tasted slightly watered down compared to other places I've had it. Overall, we had a great experience and will return for more! read more

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Maui Pho Fusion BBQ Grill. I have eaten here before but it was my husband and daughter's first time. We arrived and were seated quickly. Our server took our drink order right away, which was a nice start. My daughter and I shared the pupu platter along with an order of vegetable chow mein, and my husband ordered the Szechuan tofu. Everything tasted great, and the portion sizes were very generous, definitely enough to share. The flavors were on point and the food came out hot and fresh. My husband commented on the crisp texture of the tofu, which doesn't always happen when eating tofu. The wait staff was a little slow at times, but overall it didn't take away from the quality of the food or the experience. We left full and happy and would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu. read more

We ordered the pu pu platter, which had a lot of variety--skewers, potstickers, rangoons, and more. It was definitely enough food for two people, and we even had leftovers. We also ordered an extra order of chicken skewers that were made differently or had a different sauce, and those were way better than the ones on the platter. My kids ordered the chili wontons, and those were amazing--hands down a favorite at the table. Overall, all the food was good. The main downside was the service timing. Everything came out at different times, which wasn't ideal, and it seemed like there wasn't one dedicated server for the entire place. Every table was full, and it felt pretty hectic. I've been here before and usually have a very good experience, so I'm hoping they're able to provide more help for the servers because the food itself is solid. There was also plenty of seating available. read more

Tall white guy working there is the rudest person on earth. No hello, no check ups and even forgot to put our order in so we waited an hour he's for sure HOMOPHOBIC AND RACIST!!! If I go back which I doubt and he's there I'll for sure request someone else. He needs to be FIREDDDDDDDD!!!!! Many of my family and friends have said the same about him as well. If I can leave a 0 star I would. I just left right now I went in with my girlfriend and we were the first ones there and ordered an appetizer they brought it out quick but after that server didn't check up on us at all. The table next to us came after us and got their food in not even 10 minutes waiting me and my girlfriend thought it was weird but waited anyways because maybe they ordered a different pho from us. We waited and waited server was rude not smiley or friendly. Another table came in a party of 3 and they got their pho as well. It had now been 45 minutes and I hate to be that person who complains but we felt discriminated because we were gay. I get up and ask the lady and tell her what's happening and she's rude and cuts me off and says she'll check on it. Our order finally comes but it's wrong. They gave my girlfriend just beef instead of the special that came with 3 meats. Horrible service we got up and left payed for our drinks and appetizer but honestly worst service ever. The manager made it up he's nice and he gave us $40 to come back servers need to work on their communication skills but the manager very nice guy thank you Brandon good managers and good service is all that's needed to enjoy your time out in places so we appreciate your help a lot! read more

The staff is very friendly, the ambiance was great as well . The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary.

I ordered Pho Beef combo hardly has any meat. I ordered on Doordash. There was only two pieces of meatballs, and two or three pieces of fat. There was no tripe, no beef, at all! Service is getting to get slower and servers especially rude tall guy. When I ask him for utensils or water, it seems like I was bothering him. I used to just ignore it and say oh maybe that person's having a bad day, but more often now, I'm not seeing any nice server, maybe one. Get Beef Pho, at Bento Saigon is better. read more

Maui Pho - Combo Pho - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

It's very meh. While Maui Pho has the name/ word "pho" in it... pls don't get mistaken that you're heading into a Vietnamese restaurant (like me). Maui Pho is a case of confused identify; or fusion, as some may call it. You'll find Chinese (think hot n sour soup, fried rice or chow mein), Vietnamese (pho), Hawaiian (think spam musubi or loco loco), or "Panda Express" (orange chicken) here.... The moment we sat down, we're like uh oh... Their $12.99 lunch special is not bad for the price. Other than that, everything is overpriced and very mediocre in taste ... think deep friend almost everything. My Maui chow fun (not a deep fried dish) was a whopping $20! For the price and the taste, you'll do better at Panda Express. read more

Big menu with a lot of different options to choose from. Kind of Jack-of-all-trades, masters of none which isn't a bad thing when most of the dishes we order are decent. Nothing really bad to say, overall a fair meal. Try the spicy wontons! doesn't really remind me of Taipei taiwan but is definitely a step up above panda express. Also Wall-E is there bringing water and your meals. He's cute but i've seen him bump into tables before. read more

Solid food. Fast and good service. Easy parking. Clean and new renovations! Food/Drink- 5 stars Pretty large portions. Had the lunch special with vermicelli and Hawaiian beef ribs. The beef ribs are solid and I highly recommend it. I do appreciate the soup add-on with the lunch special. Their description is very spot-on. The food is very fusion Chinese/Hawaiian/Vietnamese with their flavors (e.g. don't expect the Vietnamese dishes to be your typical Vietnamese flare, etc). Service- 5 stars Pretty fast in and out of service. Servers were attentive and helpful Bottom Line Maui Pho has been a Bakersfield favorite for years now, due to it's good food and service. Excited to see their new location with the new décor! read more

Maui Pho - Hot & Sour Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Hadn't tried this place since it moved from Ming Ave. and we were excited bc we assumed it would be worth it considering there's always people waiting. The setting was nice and modern and also clean, not enough waiting seats tho, there were many people standing outside. So, for starters we waited 45 min for a table for 2 and another 40 min to get our food. So if you're starving, don't come here unless you're ok w waiting forever.. Also, I wasn't even sure who our waiter/waitress was. One girl took our drinks, another took our order and another brought our food. We also never got checked on while eating, so we waited and waited and then I had to ask an employee who walked by for our check bc we had been sitting there waiting for a while. I even took my dessert home bc I was tired of sitting there for almost 2 hours. So, the service was not great 1/5. The food was good probably a 3.5/5, only thing I can complain about was my orange chicken, it seemed like they gave me the crumbs so it was all tiny crunchy pieces w sauce and then 1 HUGE chunk of chicken.., the tiramisu was ok, the mascarpone was weirdly thick in some areas, and well, to top it all of I don't think what we paid was worth it at all. We paid almost $80 for just us two... $80 is kind of crazy for a combo plate and an iced tea.. that's steak and mash potato money not rice, chicken and noodle money.. so we will not be returning. read more

Rate: 3/5 stars Just because the pad Thai didn't taste like traditional pad Thai. I'm not used to the white onion and bell pepper pieces. the pad Thai's I've tried are usually never spicy. And because of that, we didn't enjoy it. Too over whelming to finish. The Hawaiin plate was delicious. the fried shrimp were a bit too bland for my liking but I enjoyed what was left. read more

Yep - was here on Wednesday and just had to bring my boyfriend to this wonderful new venue of Maui Pho to show him how wonderful this restaurant is! ( I had shamelessly tormented him last week by texting him pics of food, but didn't bring him leftovers lol)..... Their new venue is really nice and larger than their one on Ming. Closer to my house so I like that. McKenzie, the Yelp Ambassador extraordinaire asked me in May what my favorite Asian restaurant was, and the choice was clear (like other Elites say) - Maui Pho I told her! In fact Maui Pho just happened to cater a luau that I had at my home last month! This is really a business with a heart. Robin, another elite said it best, "You can feel the love they have emanating throughout the entire restaurant." Indeed, I adore, as many in this community the amazing owner Lynn and her daughter Shuroni. They are so warm, kind... In fact I snapped a few pics of them to send to my friend to make her jealous, and she replied, "LOVE THEM!" lol. Today, a Sunday, the restaurant is super busy! Good for them! I am going to come back for their happy hour during the week, $3 off their drinks and a great selection of appetizers. Also Wednesday are Hawaiian night- that would be awesome to also go then. I live their macaroni salad! Another special they had today was a Salt and pepper pork chop plate with soup, egg roll (so good), chow mein, and rice. It was a HUGE plate! He said we could have split it! My boyfriend was really impressed with the menu.... So many wonderful choices- As well as the quality of the food and portions were huge!! Very good service he said. Patient too - we took forever deciding what to order) I'm jumping ahead of myself aren't I? I had the pu pu platter in the past which was so extraordinary, definitely going to go back and order that each time... The drinks I've had there are so good, on Wednesday I had a Maui margarita and a Ube horchata was especially delicious and a must have! This time I also got the spiked lemons flight that was a lot of fun and cute. A piece of fresh fruit (lichee, strawberries, orange) as garnish for each of the drinks. I always get the spam musubi which I am so delighted they serve on other days than Wednesdays. So yummy! You can't go wrong with the spicy won tons. The dumplings are amazing. I haven't tried the soup dumplings yet, but next time! We love love the salt and pepper shrimp; the Steve's Special has the shrimp with chicken also!if you want variety. I was mad because my boyfriend stole some of my shrimp when I wasn't looking. The other thing I always order is the Maui Chow Fun.... It is a thick rice noodle that has been my favorite for ever. (My Facebook pic for years used to be a plate of chow fun until I changed it to a rib eye.). Their Maui Pjo Chow Fun has shrimp chicken and beef. Wonderful! This is such a wonderful restaurant, probably going back in a few days lol. read more

4.5 stars My dad and stepmom came to visit, and we stopped by Maui Pho and wow, everything was delicious! My stepmom makes pho often, so she's picky, but the broth here was so good I didn't even need hoisin or Sriracha just basil and cilantro and it was perfect. We tried the Hong Kong Wonton Noodle Soup, Shrimp Pho, and Beef Combo Pho. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting. I also tried honeydew boba for the first time (I'm usually a taro girl!) and it was amazing and super refreshing. The vibe was super cute and the lounge area is definitely selfie/group photo worthy . Service was friendly even though it was busy. I just wish there were a few more servers or a bit more attentiveness during the rush. Definitely coming back! read more

Maui Pho - M5. Salt & Pepper Shrimp & Teriyaki Chicken Skewers - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My dad and I went on a Thursday and unfortunately caught the lunchtime rush. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. You can minimize your wait time by using the Yelp app to put your name on the waitlist before showing up at the restaurant. This is such a convenient tool. I have eaten here before and my experience has always been great. I ordered the Bún Bowl (a lunch special $12.99; I made it a combo meat so it was an additional $5.00). The meats were salt and pepper shrimp, lemongrass chicken and Hawaiian rib. The shrimp was fried in a batter of lemon/pepper it was really good. The chicken had a nice subtle flavor of lemongrass which I liked. The Hawaiian rib was grilled to perfection and so tender. One of my favorites. The bowl also had one egg roll that was cut in half and served with their delicious sweet and sour sauce. The bottom of the bowl had cold Vietnamese noodles and shredded romaine lettuce, sliced cucumbers and topped with fried noodles (for some crunch), sprigs of fresh cilantro and Thai basil. On the side was Nướ chấm dressing. Nước chấm is a staple Vietnamese dipping sauce, a versatile condiment with a balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors, typically made from fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, water, garlic, and chili. It's used with many dishes like spring rolls, noodle bowls, and grilled meats, acting as a dipping sauce, dressing, or marinade. The key to a good nước chấm is balancing these core tastes. Everything in this bowl complements each ingredient nicely. Top everything with chopped peanuts. This dish does not disappoint. This lunch special come with your choice of egg flower or hot and sour soup. I ordered the egg flower soup. It was served hot and it was delicious. We also ordered a side of Volcano Rice. This is a signature dish and in my opinion, it was ok but not something I would come back for. Volcano Fried Rice consists of shrimp , chicken, Chinese sausage, scrambled egg and veggies. Not sure why is called volcano rice tho. My dad ordered the three combo plate. He ordered sweet and sour chicken and pork and kung pao chicken. He ordered half steamed rice and half chow mein. He loved his dish. I also ordered the guava lemonade which I was told was made fresh in-house. This drink was overly sweet and would not order again. On a previous visit I ordered their Vietnamese coffee and was very disappointed with my drink. Extremely sweet and not made correctly. I do not recommend it. The staff was extremely busy due to the lunchtime rush but they were friendly and accommodating. Restaurant was clean and as people left, dishes were promptly removed and tables cleaned. I highly recommend Maui Pho. read more

Absolutely love coming to Maui Pho. Every single item I have tried has been flavorful and just perfection!

Okay, get this: this place has food that is like a party in your mouth! The appetizers are where it's AT--think Pu Pu Platter filled with a variation of egg rolls doing the cha-cha, BBQ pork that's singing a sweet tune, dumplings doing the tango, and shrimp that are straight-up doing backflips! Seriously, each bite was like a mini-celebration. But wait, there's more! The customer service? A standing ovation is needed! The owner, like a fairy godmother who's love for food, gave us the warmest welcome. She even popped out to wish our birthday buddies a big, booming "Happy Birthday!" Talk about making you feel special! They were all about making sure we were living our best foodie lives. I'm already planning my encore with the whole crew.

This was the 1st time I visited the new location. I was very impressed with the new digs. We were greeted right away and used Yelp to reserve. On our visit we had the special salt and pepper pork chops. This plate came with 5 pieces of pork chops with soup, egg rolls and rice and chowmein. The serving was just right and probably could have been split by 2 people. I had the hot and spicy shrimp. This was so delicious. It also came with an egg roll. The staff were amazing and so friendly. The look and feel of the new place was perfect and an upgrade from where they were. The prices were not bad either and are pretty much priced like other places. I definitely want to come back and try other dishes. They also sell their chili oil. I asked on this visit and I was able to take a jar home. read more

Second visit to the new location and the decor is stunning! Came for lunch and ordered the lunch special which I believe was the Bun Bowl ($12.99). We also ordered 2 appetizers: Pot Stickers and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pork pot stickers were perfectly fried and very flavorful. The salt and pepper shrimp are a must order! Perfectly fried and perfect spiciness! My lunch special came with the egg flower soup which was perfectly seasoned and I loved the addition of the veggies in the soup. The wonton crunchies were my personal favorite! The Bun Bowl had the salt and pepper shrimp and these amazing crunchy topping! I wish I had asked for a 2nd serving of the sauce that came with the bowl as I felt the bowl needed more of that delicious sauce. I can't wait to come back and want to come back Wednesday to try out the Hawaiian menu! read more
