I'm always looking for new pho restaurants in the area so I checked this one out but why does it seem like every pho place is the same now? The inside is almost identical to Pho Rancho but it is in a better location with chain restaurants in a strip mall. There's a lot of natural light since it's on the corner so it feels more open. There was a very steady flow of customers when I went in for lunch.
I ordered the tofu spring rolls and the tofu and vegetable pho. The spring rolls were smaller than other places but the tofu was thick and chewy. There wasn't a whole lot else going on, just noodles with lettuce inside. Maybe I should stop ordering this everywhere because no one seems to do anything interesting with the dish. The pho was also like I've had it in other restaurants, nothing special but it's what I was expecting anyways. The bowls they serve the pho in do seem smaller than normal but I don't know that the food is any less. The tofu and vegetable pho came with tonnns of broccoli, carrots, bok choy maybe? and onions. The carrots tasted like crayons which was weird. My only real complaint was that they never refilled my water until I was already done eating. I like to put lots of chili paste and sriracha in my pho so it would have been nice to get a refill sooner.
I overheard the staff saying they had only opened a week before so it's awesome that they're doing so well already. Obviously this area was in need of some pho. Overall it was a decent experience. I'd like to come back and try the banh mi or something different so I can see if they can offer anything more unique. If you're just looking to satisfy a pho craving though Pho Mai Mai will be just fine.
