Cafe Mai-Mai

Best pho soup i ever had.. its very flavorful.. too bad they dont sell other dishes like pork bbq etc

The cafe is not big, but very cozy. The food is delicious and cooked quickly. I like lunch here.

Sign in window says "No MSG". That would be great for those who cannot take MSG. Will bring someone who is sensitive to MSG to try next time, but AFAIK, it might have a little. My first visit, maybe no MSG reaction. Today, maybe a little tingly in mouth after.

Pho today tasted good but soup broth was not hot enough. It was drinkable upon serving. Other places usually a little scalding upon serving so rare beef can cook faster.

Ordered the lemongrass chicken for the first time. Taste was good and although you can see some kind of herbal marinade, but seemed not so strong tasting. Not greasy like most places, so not sure what to make of that. Good? As greasy may be less healthy, but it looked it should have oven baked crispy skin, but it was not crispy. My companion suspected it was beforehand and microwaved. That would explain why it was not greasy and not crispy. Will have to try again to see if this is different next time.

Overall, still an ok experience but last time was better.

Their pork salad rolls are really really good. The pho is also good as well. For my taste, I don’t think it’s like, excellent pho, but, it’s good enough for 5 stars.

for new customers who are concern about the price. If you just come here some times to try the soup with no MSG , i think €50 higher is not the big deal(b/c it good for your health right? :)). If you come a lots, ask for a stamp card and you will see the price much more cheaper than some other places around.
