What Elaine Lee likes about Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant:
Came here for a nice quiet lunch despite the loudness of the farmers market outside. Street parking around this time is always difficult. We had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was strong. Lemongrass pork chop was moist and also had good char. Special pho was good. Broth still felt clean. View all feedback. What Helen Y doesn't like about Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant:
we ordered catfish clay pot $17). the dish comes in very small old clay pot with few pieces fish In soy sauce. I told waitress I have never seen such small pots. For the chicken dish it is in the old plate with curry coconut sauce not presentable.this restaurant don 't give you what you pay for.very disappointed. the server he told me we are in business 40 years we use same pot .

Mai's is a quaint and charming restaurant located in San Francisco's Clement neighborhood, offering a variety of Vietnamese dishes. While some customers were disappointed with the portion sizes and presentation of certain dishes, others raved about the flavorful pho and friendly service. The restaurant has a vintage feel inside, which adds to its charm. Overall, Mai's seems to be a hit or miss depending on the dish ordered, but many patrons have found their favorite go-to meals on the menu. The quiet atmosphere and authentic flavors keep customers coming back for more.
