Great vegetarian options
by mylee at Citysearch
It surprises me that many Vietnamese restaurants do not offer many vegetarian options. Luckily, that is the case at Mai Thao. The restaurant has a whole page of their menu dedicated to vegetarian fare, and the best part is that it actually tastes delicious. My brother is the biggest meat lover I know and he gave rave reviews to their cubic steak dish. It's quite possible that the service was lousy, but I've grown accustomed to terrible service at Vietnamese restaurants, so I tend to just block the customer service aspects from my head when dining at such locales. All I recall from my experience is that the food was divine.
- Pros: Vegetarian dishes, free parking

Tasty food, parking provided, that's about it,
by e46tiger at Citysearch
Took a family of 6 there for Sunday morning lunch. We were seated promptly, servers were nice, but very poorly trained and/or supervised. We ordered shakes first and had to ask for them twice. We ordered 4 appetizers, 6 entrees, and 4 drinks (in addition to the two shakes at the beginning). First to come out was 2 of the 4 apps, then one entree, then another appetizer, the shakes, drinks the remaining entrees and water. Staff tried to help with what we asked for, but we had to ask for everything. I know decent service is not always offered at VNMese restaurants in Chinatown, but I think some basics should be adhered to. Drinks first, appetizers and then food. Good prices and good food.
- Pros: garaged parking, tasty food, large menu selection
- Cons: Service was not offered, not enough high chairs for a family restaurant
