“ My go-to place for pho and noodles. Fresh food, quick service, reasonable prices, have been coming here for many years ”
“ I love the food and the service is always top tier!! The vibe inside the restaurant is so family oriented and I love coming here to get me the best food and vibes I need! I always recommend all my family and friends to visit Mai Lee when visiting STL!!! ”
“ Love coming here for authentic Vietnamese food. They have the best banh mi and they have really delicious, hearty, generous Vietnamese plates and pho. They can get busy at times so I tend to go on weeknights to get seated with minimal wait! Prices reasonable, parking easy due to parking lot attached to it! ”
“ Mai Lee was the first place I tried pho and I've been coming back again and again when I get the craving. I always order the basic beef pho and I'm always so happy with it that I've never tried anything else on the menu. However, the menu is extensive with Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine options, so everyone in your group is sure to find something up their alley. ”
“ I really liked everything about this place. The service was exceptional, from start to finish. The food was SO delicious!!! I'm not real experienced eating Vietnamese food, so took some pointers from a table mate. I thoroughly enjoyed my Bun Ga Nuong. The chicken wasn't dry at all. My cocktail was very good too. Would love to come back and try more menu items. ”
“ Food was awesome! I had the Pho Tom (shrimp), it was plentiful, the broth was flavorful and the toppings were fresh. I couldn't leave St Louis without trying the Bo Luc Lac, which is seared steak bites served with sautéed onions on a bed of lettuce/tomato, a lemon butter sauce and a side of rice. Did I say tender??? Melts in your mouth and that sauce totally elevated the dish. It's not a huge space but the area looks really nice. The restaurant was very clean, good lighting and not much in decor from I saw... cozy feel. They offer a variety of Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. The first person I encountered was welcoming and my waiter well he was just there. He took my order, brought my food and basically that was it not much to say but overall it was worth the visit. ”
“ Mai Lee is a Mai Oui for me! I am visiting family from St. Louis and we were craving a good asian spot! This place has an extensive menu- like over 200 items, which seem to be primarily a mix of vietnamese and chinese food. The spot is located in Brentwood and has a massive free parking garage close by. The restaurant is much bigger than I thought with a bar area and a huge dining room. Its clean and simple! We got there around 6:30pm on a Tuesday and even though they were busy we were seated right away. Originally they told us to use QR code for the menu, but our server also brought us a physical one, which was nice. Its hard deciding what to get- I kept looking to see what others around us were ordering. We did some vietnamese and chinese items. To start we got crab rangoon and #34 (Goi Cuon) which is like rice paper spring roll. It said its served with a peanut sauce, but it seemed more like a hoisin sauce with peanuts in it. The rolls were really good! The crab rangoon was pretty standard. They gave us packets of sweet and sour / hot mustard. I wish they would have made these sauces homemade. For entrees we split a few things- Sesame chicken which comes with broccoli and I added green onions. They are very flexible if you want to add or sub something! We also got #95 (Ga Xao Xa Ot) which is chicken stir fry in hot chili. We were hoping this was spicy, but it was not at all. It had lots of flavor but no spice. And lastly #91 (Ga Xao Lan) which is chicken coconut curry dish. We got white rice, but I also asked for a fried rice which is $5 up charge. The food was very flavorful, hot and fresh. We got fortune cookies at the end but somehow mine didnt have a fortune inside! I would go back here and try other dishes! Overall experience 4/5 ”
“ Great food. Good service Need more locations Food is great!! Too bad it's not closer to home. ”
