So glad to see that this reincarnation of Maxim continues the practice of serving really tasty inexpensive fare with smother-you-with-friendliness service, and with a brighter and tidier dining area this time around. The beef pho I tried is a superior bowl of piping hot goodness - very fresh flavors and they don't skimp on the meat. The broken rice with grilled pork that I enjoyed on another visit made for a very satisfying meal. The garlic chive dumplings are a must-try appetizer; these are a great alternative to the egg rolls or spring rolls that people usually order for starters. This is the place to come to for delicious, hearty Vietnamese or Chinese meals on a budget.
