The service was quick and friendly, but the food was the main event, quite literally one of my favorite places to go for Pho. Their broth has the best flavor and stands out to me compared to other places we've tried since coming here and the vermicelli noodle salads are bomb too. Great location in the Asia Mall as well: check out the other restaraunts, grocery, desserts and drink options. read more

Pho Mai at the Asia Mall was tastier than expected. The spicy chili oil was surprisingly good. Service was decent, it was busy. Love that they have a direct entrance from outside and an entrance from inside the mall. read more

This is some of the best pho I've had in a while. I'd say most pho is good but the "pho dac biet" here is on point. Good ratio of ingredients and meat. Broth on point! Everyone has got their preference but so far this one is mine. read more

Their pho is actually the best around. No additional condiments needed. Rice noodle salad with grill pork and egg roll is my go to!

I enjoyed Pho Mai and this was my first time visiting as well! The service was amazing and they really provided great service by providing recommendations and answering our questions! My group had a variety of pho dishes and rice and grilled chicken! The grilled chicken was so savory and I loved the sauce it came with! The spring rolls with grilled pork was also delicious. I highly recommend it and it's two spring rolls but it's cut in half so technically four pieces! Also it was confusing with knowing where to go to be sat with the long line for Bober Tea and Mochi Dough but you just go into pho Mai to the register to be sat! read more

I had lunch at Pho Mai today. I was very disappointed with the dish I selected. I had the Beef and Potatoes which sounded good. But it turned out to be very disappointing. It amounted to a bowl of potato chips with a few pieces of beef, onion and a sauce. I ate all the beef and some of the potato chips. But I left most of it and chalked it up to a bit of bad luck. read more

This review is based upon a very limited food order, so I cannot say how applicable it is to their Pho, or other dishes. I went there with my wife for lunch on a Tuesday. Contrary to the opening of the Mall, there were no crowds and we were seated immediately. The service was friendly and professional. There are no lunch specials and entrees seemed to average about $17, which is more of a dinner price to me. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The good: My wife had the grilled chicken Banh Mi ($9.75), which she said was pretty solid, but not quite as good as the late Jasmine Deli on Nicollet. The bad: I had the garlic chicken wings. After eating one, I called over the waiter and said that I think I got the plain chicken wings. He assured me it had garlic sauce (I tasted none) and offered to give me a dish of extra sauce. I appreciated that, but the sauce contained toasted garlic in oil, which wasn't good for dipping. Even without the extra sauce, the wings were extremely greasy and not very meaty. On a scale from 1 to 10, they were a 1 or 2. read more

What a hidden gem in the plaza of Asia Mall. There were so many great items to choose from the menu. I settled on the spring rolls with shrimp and pork. This was very unique as the shrimp was dipped in a batter and they have a fried wrapper inside which made it crispy. I also got the pho tai, which is my go to. I also got to try my sister's wonton noodle soup and my mom's pork noodle salad. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The broth flavors hasd really good balance. I can see why my sister has a preference for this place. read more

This second outpost of a twin cities staple can be found on the first floor of the new Asia Mall in EP. We had a great experience. Don't be deterred by the line out front- it's the line for the Bober tea and mochi dough place connected to it. Word has it crowds are crazy right now during "soft opening" but we were surprisingly impressed with the lack of wait to sit down to eat on a Friday night, the speed with which our order was taken and came out of the kitchen (especially for a party of 6!!) and deliciousness and authenticity of the food. For 3 hungry adult couples we ordered a party platter to share, each couple had a banh mi and a regular pho to split, and it was more than enough food. Drink menu is also pretty solid- some of us partook in lucky buddhas, others sake. I enjoyed a lychee sake. Checking out was easy- we just went up to the cashier to pay. Will recommend! read more

Excellent wait staff. Super friendly and attentive. Recommend getting there early since it fills up fast. Tofu spring rolls had a decent ratio of protein/veg/noodle and the peanut sauce was good. Thick with just a bit of pepper. I usually like them a bit more peanut-forward, though. The crunchy tofu skin is a texture pro move. Hot and spicy tofu was fantastic and I'm glad we split it because portions are huge. Perfectly fried tofu, sautéed onions, and a not-too-sweet lemongrass sauce with a little heat. Definitely not "hot" or "spicy", though. The other dishes people ordered looked excellent and we'll be back to try it out. read more

This place is located on the floor of the Asia Mall in Eden Prairie. We decided to try this place out for lunch, and since it was weekday, it wasn't very crowded. We were greeted and seated right away. The dining area had a very modern and bright decor. I ordered eggrolls to start and a regular sized Pho Dac Biet "House Special". The eggrolls were fried to perfection and even though they were on the thicker side, the filling was airy and not too dense. The filling was seasoned well and not too salty. The fish-sauce based sauce that it came with was very well balanced with sweet, savory, sour, and umami flavors. The pho broth tasted beefy and not overly salted. All the ingredients tasted fresh. Overall, it was a delicious meal, and I would gladly return again. Service was casual and friendly. Parking was very easy because there is a large parking lot in the front of the building. read more

We came on a random weekday for a late lunch, and really enjoyed our meal! We weren't incredibly hungry, so splitting the Nem Nuong between two people sufficed. It came with ingredients for seven rolls, so it was more than enough for a small meal. It was incredibly delicious and hit the spot. read more

Absolutely incredible. How anyone could give this anything but 5 stars is beyond me. Spectacular food, fast service, and authentic. Those who rate it low, likely prefer less authentic fare. Had the beef pho, hot and spicy chicken and the tenderloin beef supreme (12b). Eat here!! read more

First time here and we will definitely be back! Fresh spring rolls with grilled pork were great! Wish they had more options with the grilled pork! I am sure we could have asked and they would have made it. The owner took our order and all the staff were very attentive. My other half had chicken pho and the beef for me. Best fried rice we have had in the twin cities so far. By the end the two of us ordered six dishes and took more home than we ate, it was so good for days! Th ere are many options close to us, but this will definitely be a go to! The shopping market was great too and we got tons of treats for the kids (and a couple for us too!) next is a review of the bakery that had its grand opening there too - beautiful pastries. read more

The broth was delicious, the meat was tender. But the portions are much smaller than I expected for the price. Felt like I only got 3 small slices of raw beef and 1 cut up meatball. The pork sausage spring rolls are huge though! The other dishes I saw on other tables looked great though. I'd go back and try a rice or vermicelli dish. read more

The Asian Mall is a neat place to check out. We had dinner here at the Pho Mai. The staff was friendly, quick and efficient. The food was respectable and moderately priced. I liked that they offered three different sizes of Pho (small, regular, large). The one negative is it's loud in there, even when it's not full. They can benefit from sound absorbing stuff (wall paper, chairs, ceiling surface, etc.) read more

Went to Pho Mai for lunch today with a coworker because he want some good Vietnamese food. I ordered the Pho Thiet "meat lover " regular bowl with a side of the egg rolls. He ordered a rice noodle salad with grilled chicken and egg roll. First of all the service was awesome we did not wait long for our food and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. The egg rolls were perfectly cooked and crispy and the fish sauce was very tasty. My Pho was super flavorful with the broth having all the right notes of beef and seasoning. The basil, bean sprouts and jalapeño were all fresh and not wilted like some places. My coworkers noodle salad was flavorful too which he said was actually a little too big for him to finish. He said he really liked the pickled vegetables and the way the noodles had a spring to them. The ambiance was perfect at lunch time. Not super busy but busy enough to know it was a good place to eat. read more

I had such a great experience at Pho Mai on a weekend - I really thought it'd be busy, and it was! But it didn't slow down the team or the food. I came with my family and my dad's pho came out 30 seconds after he ordered (no joke!). The other dishes came out super quickly - it feels like within 5 minutes. The banh mi are to die for - so flavorful and full of meat and veggies! My husband got the house special banh Mi and I got the grilled pork. Both were delicious and would definitely order again. We also ordered some spring rolls and they are filled so nicely. The wait staff is so attentive, service is super quick, and food is delicious. Absolute 10/10 experience and will be back when the craving for Vietnamese food hits! read more

My first Pho in Minneapolis! A friend asked me to lunch and at first we were heading to get Hot Pot but it was closed so, we opted for Pho. I was glad. The Pho: Having nothing else to compare to, this was delicious. The broth was nice and light; not heavy with just the right about of cilantro. I ordered Pho with brisket. It hit the spot. They come in two sizes: Small and Regular. I opted for small since I can never eat a complete bowl of Pho. Good call because I still have some leftover. Thankfully, the Pho comes with bean sprouts, lime wedges, Thai basil and jalapeño on a separate dish versus in your bowl (like, no, return to kitchen if all arrives in your bowl). The restaurant: It was crowded. Always a good sign especially when crowded with people that look like me. Woo. They seem to cater to tables of about six, maybe eight. Service: Excellent. Staff are super friendly and they can check you out at your table. Once you order, the food arrives very quickly. Tip: Weave your way past the Mochi doughnut place and head straight into the restaurant and then to the register. They will seat you. Next time: I'm going to try some spring rolls and maybe a different noodle dish. But yes, there will be a next time! Bonus: The spoons. My friend and I noticed how the spoons are nicely designed: long handle with a proportional bowl. This makes a diff. Some places give you a short handle with a shallow bowl. Not great for bowls of Pho! read more

Offspring of original MT Moodle in Brooklyn Park and then Pho Mai in Dinkytown. I think MT Noodle is better but Pho Mai is still doable and closer to home. Recommend the Nem Nuong #16 and the combination rice platter. Hopefully they will expand the menu to include other items from MT noodle. Next door they also offer mochi donuts and boba tea. They tend to sell out on the donuts if you show up in the evening. Located in the multilevel Asia Mall complex so weekends can be pretty busy. read more

Pho is very very good but they probably shouldn't do chicken wings. $12 bucks for nuked, small, dried out chicken wings. They all had that black/purple dried blood in the meat which gave them a bad taste as well. read more

Been here several times and never disappointed with their food. While we go for big bowls of pho and won ton noodle soup, I've found their other dishes are good too. Rice plate, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, crispy noodles with veggies and meats, their egg rolls and their spring rolls are all good. Service attention is great and our meals have been affordable and worth our money. It's a busy place next to the boba tea and mochi donut place but well worth the wait. read more

Asia mall is still very much developing its cuisine and tempo, but the one spot that hit it out of the park immediately must be Pho Mai. It is the one spot always full, with folks at times lining up to get in. Let's talk food: so so authentic, portions amazing, and flavor on point. The Bahn Mi was mustardy, meaty, and delicious. i loved that there was an egg in there. the mains were perfect as well, with the meat platter filled with extra goodness-- pickled veg, fritatta, shrimp cake, and more. the dessert was also exceptional, chalk full of red been and jelly. the service was wonderful as well. Peter, one of the owners, took time to talk us through each dish and its name. the staff was positive, fast, and respectful. the mall around is vibrant and bustling. i hope the rest of the spots around take a lesson from Pho Mai! read more

Pho Mai is my go-to pho place in the Metro area. I love the broth, and the portion is decent. I used to order the regular size pho, but I found that too much for me. Another favorite for me here is the spring roll. It's very filling, and the sauce tastes really good. When it comes to service, everything is quick and easy. They seat you, give you menus, and take your order whenever you're ready. The food comes out within 10 minutes. They also approach you with a wireless Square device when you're ready to pay. Definitely a nice place if you're in a hurry. Highly recommend! Always a good place for good pho. read more

Just had their house special Pho this morning and it was delicious. Would very much compare it to Quang restaurant in Minneapolis, which is my go-to place for Pho. Wait staff was really friendly and helpful but we waited at our table for a while after eating before realizing that you go up to the front to pay, so that's important to know! The Asia Mall, which is connected to this restaurant, is also a really cool area to explore before or after your meal! The parking lot was filling up super fast even at 11 am so definitely get there early if you want to avoid long waits or trouble with parking. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place . The food is good. But the service tries to push you out for fast turn over . Prices are on higher end as well. Also we had one really bad visit when the person I was with asked them for chicken pho with just chicken and shrimp and no pork. But they brought with pork anyways. Then took it back took pork off and brought it back out ( there was still pieces of pork in it ) . We had to switch out dishes ( mine had chicken only) because we didn't want to make them take it back second time. But this really left unpleasant experience. Probably will do take out only going forward. The dishes they do get right are banh mi and spring roll. I think MT noodles are better, even if I think it's same owner of both places. read more

Best Pho I've ever had in my entire life. So fresh, so delicious. We went for the first time on Sunday and we're back on a Wednesday. The Banh Mi is the second best I've ever had. And then we saw a lot of people ordering the platter and that was delicious too. Go now! read more

Went to Pho Mai at Asia Mall at 6 PM on a Sunday after performing at People's Fest in Eden Prairie (with a group of 11, including 4 children). The restaurant was half full at best. The owner or manager tried to squeeze us into a 6 top by placing a chair at the end and insisting it would fit 9. When we politely asked if we could use the empty table next to us because there was no way we would all fit comfortably and since we were expecting a couple more people, he became irritated and agitated. He demanded to know exactly how many more people were coming, and when we couldn't give him a precise number right away, he snapped and said he'd leave us a 4-top before attempting to drag away the adjoining 2-top. He also pointed out that the restaurant closed in an hour and implied he didn't want to deal with a large group making a mess. It was baffling how unwelcoming and short-tempered he was over a fairly simple question. We helped him out by leaving the restaurant. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with Pho Mai. I love that they have a great menu with something for everyone and the food is delicious. But I hate how they basically rush to get you to leave from the moment you sit down. There have been multiple occasions when we have come here, are seated, and before we even pick-up a menu, the staff wants our full order. On multiple occasions, we have been asked to pay our bill within minutes of our food being put on the table. Definitely not the best customer service. But the food overall is great. The spring rolls are a must have. The pho is great, and so is their sesame chicken. I will definitely come back. It's close, and the food is good, but the customer service needs some work. read more

The service was good and the restaurant was very clean. The food was ok. The pork in the spring rolls was very dry, like we needed to douse them in sauce. And they put a fried wonton (or something) inside of them. So they are not gluten free, if you are expecting that. The pho broth was good, not great. I didn't get much depth from it; not much fish sauce or five spice. Maybe they want you to "make it your own" and add to it. Oh, and they put cilantro in the broth, I wasn't expecting that, as I don't care for cilantro. I will be back to try other items though. I was just a little disappointed in the items a got. read more
