    Special Vermicelli (Bun Dac Biet)
    Nadia N.

    We love checking out local Vietnamese restaurants to see which place has the best bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) and the soup at this location is consistently good! It doesn't have all of the meats you would expect for the dish but the broth is very flavorful if you love lemongrass. It comes in a hot stone dish and it would be even better if it came with more traditional meats like pork blood in the soup. Our favorite is the short rib version. We also always get the banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake) here and love how they are so crispy. Also the presentation of the banh xeo is beautiful compared to other places in the valley. It reminds us of some places in California. The vermicelli is standard and nice to get if you prefer something light and refreshing. This place is part of our rotation when we are craving these three dishes.

    Peanut sauce for the spring rolls
    Janet L.

    The experience with Pho Mai was alright. Now, let me start by clarifying that this was a to-go order. The ordering process and the staff were fine. They were very polite when I placed the order plus when I showed up for my pick up. The drive from the restaurant to home was only 10 minutes long. However, when I got home, the pho and spring rolls I ordered both tasted...old. The pho soup tasted too acidic (like a bunch of lime pre-squeezed into it with too much fish sauce), the spring roll skin was tough, and the peanut sauce was soupy with the layer of oil separating from the actual sauce. Please help me understand if I should not have ordered Vietnamese food 45 minutes before they close, or this is how authentic Vietnamese food actually tastes like? Should I not have ordered to-go and try to dine in instead? I have many questions.

    Lots of variety of food and drinks here! Service was top notched! The noodles came in stone bowl so the soup was hot/warm throughout the meal. The portion was smaller than I would like, but the taste was great! Bun No Hue was $16.99 and it had a lot of fish sauce taste. I probably will try to ask for less fish sauce if that's possible. The spice level and the noodles were delicious! The pho noodles were good! The broth was light so had to add in chili oil to add some flavor. Very clean indoor and TVs available to watch games.

    Steak Pho - Pho Tai
    Andrew L.

    Pho Mai is a clean, modern spot that offers a solid variety of Vietnamese dishes & in the heart of Tempe/Chandler. The order: * Pho Tai (sliced beef) - $14 * Bun Bo Hue - $17 (served in a stone pot) The good: The pho tai was comforting and flavorful, and the bun bo hue had a bold broth that came out steaming hot in a stone pot. The restaurant was very clean and still had a decent number of guests even later in the evening, which speaks to its local popularity. We appreciated the ability to customize too; we requested the bean sprouts be pre-cooked and they happily accommodated. The bad: Portions were a bit smaller compared to other pho spots nearby, especially for the price. Still satisfying, but worth noting if you're used to more generous servings.

    New Pho Mai location near me :D I'm so happy that there's new Pho Mai in this area, and it's spacious and clean, and by the grocery store, so there are plenty of parking. Folks here are friendly as well! I got to try Beef Rib Pho, it came with a big rib, broth was flavorful, good amount of meat, very comforting!

    Egg Rolls Pork - Cha Gio
    Lei G.

    The Egg Rolls Pork - Cha Gio were delicious and crispy. One of the shrimp in the Special Vermicelli - Bun Dac Biet was not cleaned. So that wasn't edible but the meat, noodles and vegetables were tasty. Unlikely to eat there again because of the uncleaned shrimp. DoorDash delivery was great.

    I was in the area and in the mood for pho, so grabbed a pho tai here. If I'd known there weren't any pics, I'd have grabbed more! Cute clean spot with plenty of tables and the woman helping me was very nice. My order was packed well so nothing spilled. The pho broth is really good! You can taste the star anise but it's not overpowering, and it's not too oily. The meat was good, no gristly bits, though I did cut them all in half as they were a bit big! Still cut thin though.

    Phở Tái and Gỏi Cuốn.  Rare Steak Pho and Spring Roll = Delicious!!!
    Paul S.

    I ordered the Phở Tái (rare steak pho) and Gỏi Cuốn (shrimp and pork fresh spring roll). The pho broth was very flavorful and authentic. The steak was cut perfectly and was plentiful in the bowl. All the side vegetables were fresh and expertly presented. The shrimp in the spring roll was very fresh and they were quite tasty. The peanut sauce had a great flavor, though I typically prefer it to be a little thicker and richer (not a big deal... it was still great). The service was friendly and prompt and the place was very clean. I will definitely be adding this to my rotation of regularly visited establishments in the area.

    Brisket Pho - Pho Nam
    Jennifer A.

    I came here to try a new pho place and it did not disappoint. I got the brisket pho even though I usually get a chicken pho, but it was amazing. The broth had such a good flavor to it and the meat was so tender. The portion size is perfect, they also offer an extra large portion which might be too much. The restaurant was very clean and seemed pretty new. The staff were very friendly and attentive with us. I will definitely be coming back!

    Spring Rolls - Goi Cuon!
    Mac D.

    This is Pho Mai's second location, so it offers all the things you love about their other location in a newer (and possibly closer to you) setting! We were greeted immediately upon entering and told to sit anywhere we liked. Super friendly staff was prompt to bring us water and take our order. We started with the combination pork and shrimp Spring Rolls, which were tasty. And we opted for the other dipping sauce (not the peanut sauce, since an ingredient in it is hoisin, which has gluten). The flavor of the sauce was just right, and not too salty! My entree was Com Tom Nuong, which was perfectly delicious... and gluten-free as always! I highly recommend this dish! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: ****FOUR STARS****

    Mango Sugarcane Nc Ma Xoi
    Lisa L.

    I came with a friend for lunch. I ordered the spicy noodle soup. It was very good. Not too spicy, but very flavorful. My friend ordered the same one but without meat. They have a huge selection of sugar cane drinks, like with strawberry, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, etc. I had a hard time choosing. Finally I tried the mango sugar cane drinks, it was so delicious!! The service was very good too. I would definitely come back.

    The roasted Catfish is amazing

    My daughter won a free kids meal at an Easter event with a Raising Cane's booth. This was so cool…read moreand brought us in for the first time. The kids meal included milk, lemonade, juice or a soft drink. The meal would have normally costs $6.99. The adult meal (3 finger combo is $10.39 and if you forgo the drink it's $0.80 less. When comparing the two meals, for $4.60 you're only getting one more chicken piece and a piece of toast. The fries amount looked the same in both the 3 piece finger and kids meal. My kiddos chicken pieces even looked larger, so the difference isn't huge. The chicken flavor was good but the Bare Chicken or Kirkland chicken at Costco is just as good if not very similar taste. The Texas toast was delicious.

I've noticed that when you go into the joint, your food looks more like the advertisement vs going thru the drive thru. My meal had a nice amount of fries, the fingers weren't nuggets this time, and my drink had just enough ice in it. Why couldn't meals be like this allllll of the time?! Our only complaint is that, the toast is soggy and could be toasted longer to pervent soggy ... it's been like this for a while now at this location. Great job guys! These awesome humans deserve 7 Months off with pay and an all expense paid vacation to Jamaica.... they all have a vibe! Let's pray that this location continues to provide meal portions that meet the prices. There's plenty of parking onsite!

    We decided to try blue 32 sports Grill last night. It ended up being a delicious choice…read more For appetizers, we got one order of nachos with ground beef. And one order of nachos with blackened chicken. And an order of buffalo shrimp. My husband and I love shrimp and we have never seen buffalo shrimp. We ordered the mild because sadly I can't handle any heat. It's ridiculous I know. Anyways, I only ate two because it was kind of hot for me. It was me not them. And I really liked it. I would like to try some again if they weren't as hot. My husband, was probably Happy because he ended up eating the rest of them himself. Lol. We all loved the nachos. I liked the ones with the ground beef Best. And my boys and husband loved the blackened chicken nachos. My four guys all had burgers and fries. No complaints and no leftovers. So I think that went good. I ordered the sirloin with the smashed red potatoes and Parmesan toast. I ate every bite of the steak. I couldn't finish the potatoes. I could tell you they tasted delicious though. Sadly, nowhere near our house or else we would go again and often. I only remembered to take one picture after I drained it in A1, which is my preference. But there's a picture. The staff were Uber friendly. Overall, we would definitely return. I only had one complaint. Do not get ice water. It was the most disgusting water I've ever tasted. I ended up asking for a bottle of water because I couldn't even sip the water after I even drowned it in lemon. They need to do something about that. It's gross.

Unfortunately, that's about where the positives end. If you're coming for the food or the service, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. We came in as a party of five a little after 9:00 PM and were told the kitchen closed at 10:00 PM. No problemo, we were ready to order right away. Instead, our server didn't return to take our order until around 9:20PM, despite nearby tables continuing to receive service. That was the first sign things weren't going well. I ordered the carne asada nachos specifically because the menu advertised them with queso instead of shredded cheese. I even mentioned to my group that was the reason I was ordering them. I also added a side of sweet potato waffle fries. About 25 minutes after we had already placed our order, the server came back and asked if I'd like a different meat. Like of course I don't want a different meat that's why I ordered carne asada. The server didn't say that they were out of carne asada, but I read between the lines and opted for ground beef cause really the queso is what makes the nachos. Also, I couldn't help wondering why it took 25 minutes to find that out. Then the food arrived. My nachos immediately looked different than expected. Instead of queso, they were covered with shredded cheese. Nothing was mentioned about being out of queso. I notice there was none. When I asked about it, the server casually said, "Oh yeah, we're out of queso too." Wait...what? So the restaurant was out of both the carne asada and the queso. The two main ingredients that made me order the dish in the first place. No one cared to mentioned either of those things when taking my order OR when coming back and asking if I wanted a different meat didn't also mention they were out of queso. Had I known, I would have ordered something completely different from the start. To the server's credit, she did let me order something else. Sucks for the kitchen because they were already closed. I ended up getting the sliders, but they were just as underwhelming as everything else. The food overall tasted like frozen products that had simply been reheated. Nothing tasted fresh, especially considering the prices. The biggest issue wasn't just the mediocre food, it was the lack of communication and straight lie when placing my food in front of me. If items are unavailable, tell customers before they order or at least when placing their food down, not after they've waited half an hour and not saying anything at all. Between the disappointing service, poor communication, and unforgettable food for all the wrong reasons, this place completely lost my trust. I'd honestly rather spend half the money at IHOP, where the food is more consistent and I'd know what to expect.
