    Egg rolls.
    Michael W.

    Pho Mai is a bright, clean spot with good service and solid pho. The Special Pho is definitely the menu item to order. The broth is rich and flavorful, portions are generous, and every bite is satisfying. Their spring rolls and egg rolls are also done nicely and make great starters alongside the pho. That said, the dumpling pho was unremarkable and didn't quite hit the mark; it felt like it had potential but ultimately left much to be desired compared to the rest of the menu. Service is friendly and efficient, and the space itself is inviting, which makes it a comfortable place to dine in. While it's not my absolute favorite pho spot in the East Valley, Pho Mai is still a dependable choice.

    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.

    Spring Rolls - Goi Cuon!
    Mike 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****

    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!

    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
    Michael A.

    The service was amazing everyone in the restaurant is super nice and cooked the food with perfection! The ambiance was great! Love them so much!

    Amazing pho with homemade broth and 2 types of noodles…read more We came on a Sunday morning. At this restaurant, you order before you sit down. Pho with rare steak: (5/5) Comes with the option of thick or thin noodles. We tried both of them, and I prefer the thick noodles. Came with noodles, homemade broth (most pho restaurants use a standard MSG broth, but not this one), rare steak, onions, mint leaves, bean sprouts, a lemon wedge, and jalapeños. The beef was very tender and flavorful, it was not chewy or dry at all. The broth tasted much better than other broths, but I'm not too sure what is in it. All other ingredients were fresh. Service: (3/5) You order before you sit yourself at a table. You get your own water. They do bring the food to your table though. Ambiance: (2.5/5) The restaurant is a little bit cramped and the tables are mismatched. It can also get very busy but they also have outside seating. Overall I would recommend the pho here just remember that it's mostly self serve and the broth is very good.

    The food is genuinely tasty, that part delivers. But the operation leaves a lot to be desired…read more A few things stood out: - It's counter service: you order first, then sit and wait for them to bring it out - Everything is self-service; get your own water at the counter - Fully disposable setup, including paper plates for rice. Feels built for takeout, not dining in - Despite all the self-service, they still ask for a tip at the register; which felt off - Staff seemed disinterested; ask a question and you're treated like an inconvenience - Casual, no-frills vibe. Got a medium or large party? You're rearranging tables yourself or splitting up Bottom line: decent food, but the service model and the tip ask don't add up. Probably won't be recommending this one.

Overall I would continue to come back because they continuously are consistent with the food quality for a cheap price.

In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude.
