Stunning. Food presentation was top notch. Tastes as good as it looks. Probably one of the best looking menus I’ve seen. It deserves its high rating. That tried the northern braised pork with jammy eggs that really hit the spot. But the grilled banana at the end was just divine. Honestly. Never had anything like it. Grilled banana wrapped in sticky rice rolled in a a crepe, ice cream and sago.
Most food in the menu is Vietnamese cuisine and they really do a great job at elevating it. Each dish is well balanced in flavor and color, making it suitable for both Viet and foreign diners. I love it. However they are a little bit overprice Không gian quán sạch sẽ, tươm tất và rất đẹp.
Came by for lunch as recommended by a local. Everything was delicious! We had grilled cabbage, pork platter, braised pork, beef carpaccio, and a couple of tofu dishes. And had dessert. Rolled back to hotel for a long nap!
Maii is definitely a restaurant with a very high standard. Everything looks perfectly arranged and it has a very elegant corporate design. The Menu, the interior and the look and style of the personal is sync very nicely. The ambient of the restaurant is beautiful and the dishes are a delicious journey into a culinary world of Vietnam. I have ordered the calm tea and fried garlic paste rolls, the noble potato with garlic and almonds (on the photo most of the potatoes we already eaten :D ) and a dish with catfish which also have to be spring rolled by yourself. Enjoy!
A modern Vietnamese restaurant that truly impressed me. The service was excellent – the staff were attentive and very friendly. Every dish was full of surprises, with unique flavors that I didn’t expect but turned out to be absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and stylish, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. With outstanding service, high-quality food, and such a nice environment, the value for money is excellent. Definitely a restaurant I will come back to and recommend to friends.
This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was delicious from start to finish—starters, mains, and desserts were all spot on. The atmosphere was welcoming, the cocktails were creative with a unique local twist, and the staff spoke excellent English, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. My friend and I had a genuinely lovely evening here.
Excellent food, I would say a perfect balance between Vietnamese cuisine and western taste. I was the last customer on a rainy evening, and the room felt so cosy, the staff was super welcoming. I will come back for sure.
With its refined fusion menu and intimate ambiance, this restaurant is ideal for date nights or special occasions The sophisticated flavours may be better suited to young adults than to children. Prices are on the steeper side but it was worth it! We came for dinner on a weekday and found the restaurant pleasantly quiet. We were promptly seated on the 3rd floor. The menu offered a diverse selection, the food arrived quickly, portions are on the smaller side but the dishes were tasty, and the staff was attentive throughout. There was also a fun word search activity to celebrate Vietnam's Independence Day with cute free gifts :)
