    Came here for dinner, glad we did. A quick dinner turned into a date night as we ordered some refreshing drinks. The service was great, and quick. The lighting was nice, not too bright. The food was hot, fresh, and plenty to take home for that midnight snack lol

    Special Pho

    I came with a party of 8 on a weekday for lunch. The interior was very colorful and welcoming. The food took a while to come out. But the portion sizes were quite large, especially for the pho. I ordered the special pho, which had a generous amount of meat. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee which tasted slightly watered down compared to other places I've had it. Overall, we had a great experience and will return for more!

    We love Amy!

    This place is Fire! Everything I have tried here is delicious. Amy, our server is adorable and friendly. Service is impeccable. The place is clean with comfortable seating. I crave the food here all the time. If you come on Wednesdays, they have hula dancers, I have missed it each visit. Hopefully, I will be in Bakersfield on a Wednesday soon! 1/29/26

    AMAZING Food, service and Value. I've never had a bad experience. This is one of the most consistently good restaurants in Bakersfield . Always fresh and always worth the value. It can get busy but its worth the wait.

    Vegetable Chow Mein

    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Maui Pho Fusion BBQ Grill. I have eaten here before but it was my husband and daughter's first time. We arrived and were seated quickly. Our server took our drink order right away, which was a nice start. My daughter and I shared the pupu platter along with an order of vegetable chow mein, and my husband ordered the Szechuan tofu. Everything tasted great, and the portion sizes were very generous, definitely enough to share. The flavors were on point and the food came out hot and fresh. My husband commented on the crisp texture of the tofu, which doesn't always happen when eating tofu. The wait staff was a little slow at times, but overall it didn't take away from the quality of the food or the experience. We left full and happy and would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

    We ordered the pu pu platter, which had a lot of variety--skewers, potstickers, rangoons, and more. It was definitely enough food for two people, and we even had leftovers. We also ordered an extra order of chicken skewers that were made differently or had a different sauce, and those were way better than the ones on the platter. My kids ordered the chili wontons, and those were amazing--hands down a favorite at the table. Overall, all the food was good. The main downside was the service timing. Everything came out at different times, which wasn't ideal, and it seemed like there wasn't one dedicated server for the entire place. Every table was full, and it felt pretty hectic. I've been here before and usually have a very good experience, so I'm hoping they're able to provide more help for the servers because the food itself is solid. There was also plenty of seating available.

    This is such an elevated "pho" place with a variety of other options like dumplings, bbq, etc. Love how organized they are and how clean this place is. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The person who took our order was attentive and friendly. I got their special pho with beef, chicken and shrimps and it was amazing. I forgot what my husband got but he liked it as well. We will definitely be back!

    Great service from Amy and adam!!! Food experience went above what I expected. Salt and pepper shrimp is so good. Lemon pepper wings soo good. Everything was great. Will come again

    Combo Pho

    I ordered thru Doordash. I paid $16 for soup with no meat. Whereas it's a meat combo. In the description it's supposed to have beef. It did not!!!

    Sonia R.

    This place is amazing! Everything on the menu is delicious. Some of my favorites are the salt n pepper shrimp, Steve's special, wor wonton soup, combo pho, volcano rice, salt n pepper calamari, drunken noodles...you can literally get anything and be content with it. Everything has so much flavor. This new location is very modern. It's bright and very clean. The staff has always been very kind and the owners are amazing people.

    Hot n sour soup that came with lunch special. It's ok. a bit watered down
    Winnie W.

    It's very meh. While Maui Pho has the name/ word "pho" in it... pls don't get mistaken that you're heading into a Vietnamese restaurant (like me). Maui Pho is a case of confused identify; or fusion, as some may call it. You'll find Chinese (think hot n sour soup, fried rice or chow mein), Vietnamese (pho), Hawaiian (think spam musubi or loco loco), or "Panda Express" (orange chicken) here.... The moment we sat down, we're like uh oh... Their $12.99 lunch special is not bad for the price. Other than that, everything is overpriced and very mediocre in taste ... think deep friend almost everything. My Maui chow fun (not a deep fried dish) was a whopping $20! For the price and the taste, you'll do better at Panda Express.

    Hot & Sour Soup
    Richard F.

    Solid food. Fast and good service. Easy parking. Clean and new renovations! Food/Drink- 5 stars Pretty large portions. Had the lunch special with vermicelli and Hawaiian beef ribs. The beef ribs are solid and I highly recommend it. I do appreciate the soup add-on with the lunch special. Their description is very spot-on. The food is very fusion Chinese/Hawaiian/Vietnamese with their flavors (e.g. don't expect the Vietnamese dishes to be your typical Vietnamese flare, etc). Service- 5 stars Pretty fast in and out of service. Servers were attentive and helpful Bottom Line Maui Pho has been a Bakersfield favorite for years now, due to it's good food and service. Excited to see their new location with the new décor!

    There is a wait time but if you want really good food, it's worth the wait. Service is friendly and really nice. The food, honestly what else is there to say but FANTASTIC! Spring rolls were good but not crazy about it. However the pho was flavorful, filling, and felt like a warm hug. Thai tea and lychee lemonade were definitely a must have. The menu is packed with a variety of Asian cuisine, and if you're in the mood for a little bit of everything, come down with your family and share some great food!!

This time the son and I decided to dine in and the food was borderline spoiled, nothing tasted fresh and it wasn't hot, nor warm. Our food was borderline cold. The interior was dusty and in need of attention, especially the fake plants. Though spacious when we entered there wasn't a soul in the place, which was a red flag, but per usuh we brought people. I'm not sure if our food was so nasty because we ordered a lunch special and they reserve what's going bad for those orders because the other four families dining in didn't seem to be having the same experience. What saved this review from being a 1 star review and the only reason I didn't complain to the waitress about the quality of the food is because the only server was elderly and unable to pick up her feet and my very gracious son said to lig, so I did, but it appears if the couple who runs the restaurant doesn't get some help soon they may need to close their doors.

    Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!
