Mai Viet - Redfern

I have tried the vegan pho at this restaurant three times and it has been delicious and flavorful each time. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for some Vietnamese food. If their vegan pho is this good, I'm sure everything else on the menu is fantastic too! I can't get enough of their delicious pho!

The food at this restaurant is exceptional, made with fresh ingredients and served by a fantastic staff. I bring all my friends here regularly, as the pho has successfully cured almost every cold I've had. My personal favorite is the spring rolls.

I decided to try the vermicelli with roast pork and spring rolls, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. The addition of garlic to the fish sauce was a nice touch, and the homemade spring rolls had a unique and tasty flavor that I hadn't encountered before. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Mai Viet. However, I couldn't give the restaurant a higher score due to the high prices. Compared to eating at places like Bankstown or Cabramatta where you receive free tea, the prices at Mai Viet felt like a psychological barrier for me. While I'm not sure if they offer free tea at Mai Viet, it wasn't presented to us during our meal. This lack of complimentary tea is a major drawback for me and prevents me from considering a return visit.

I used to drive all the way down to Cabramatta each weekend (up to 35km) from the city... Now i take a bus down to surry hills! Love it! The food is authentic vietnamese at its core and it tastes just like Cabramatta!<br/ Better yet, you could tell the quality of the ingredients differ and fresher (bo kho) with less fattier and off cuts often used back else where at vietnamese restaurants.<br/ The staff there are very helpful and often hear/ see them explaining some of the dishes to newer visitors.<br/ <br/ Well recommended!

Great new Vietnamese in our neighbourhood. Fresh and delicious food, with a no fuss sort of atmosphere spotlessly clean and with great service and good prices to match. My only suggestion would be to dim the lights slightly to give it all a softer edge. Otherwise I loved my experience of this place highly recommended.
