Me and Hubby went here for a late Lunch today! The cold weather here’s got us craving warm comforting delicious Pho!
We both ordered the “Pho Tai” and shared “Pot Stickers” and “Cha Gio”.
Waitress and staff were attentive and friendly.
Atmosphere was cozy and quiet to moderate chatter among the crowd.
Now we sit here happy and full!

HUGE MENU. Had to be guided through as there were so many options. Lunch specials were limited so went with a noodle bowl and glad it did. So fresh and yummy. Got it without peanuts. Was perfect.

I’ve been to Mai Lee twice. Both times my food was flavorful and delicious. I strongly suggest this restaurant. The first time I came I absolutely loved the savory Pho. This time (meal pictured) I loved the Egg rolls (meatiest and best tasting I’ve ever had) and the Com Tho. I have no complaints about that tasty experience. I’m definitely going back again to enjoy what I had previously and to try different things on their HUGE menu.

Easy parking was such an unexpected attribute. We arrived and we opted to sit outside, since the weather was so nice. A very attentive, patient and friendly server brought us our appetizer, drinks and orders. The food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely make plans to return.

Amazing food at Mai Lee. We finally got to try the first and oldest Vietnamese restaurant in St. Louis — such a classic. Everything was incredibly comforting. The pho was cozy and delicious, and we also loved the beef fried rice, charboiled pork dish, and egg foo young — all hit the spot. Truly comfort food done right! No wonder why locals say it’s part of their weekly + monthly rotation.

All the foods are good, especially the Vietnamese cat fish hot pot. We also love the salted shrimp. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been to Mai Lee many times. I always enjoy it but I didn’t give it a 5 star. It was all very good but I find it to be very pricey so for the value, especially for lunch since it’s the same menu as dinner, I’d rate it a 4 star. I started with #37 Goi Cuon Thit Nuong- bbq pork spring roll. It came with fish and peanut sauces and both were very good. This is one of my favorite appetizers. It is a cold appetizer. Then I ordered #144 Dau Hu Xao To- stir fry tofu and veggies in a black bean sauce served with white rice. This was my first time trying this one and I would order it again. It’s not spicy at all, had a nice deep flavor and a good size portion. My friend ordered her usual #11 Pho Ga and loved it.

Top notch, family run Vietnamese spot. Phenomenal food and service. I started off with pork, spring rolls and pot stickers. Both were very tasty..As a main course I had Lamb with Chili is onions and pork
fried rice both were delicious! I had to bring some chili paste to kick it up a notch. The service was wonderful. They also have a full bar. I cannot wait to return.❤️

Mai Lee is a fantastic restaurant with hardworking staff and tons of food options on the menu.
The menu is so large that they number the items, so we would order 24, 35 and 89 for example, and the waiter knew exactly the dish according to number. And we are talking about a menu with 200 items on it. The food was amazing, so delicious and came out in a timely manner. The portions were also very generous.
The service again, was great. They were attentive, we sat right away, and the ordering process was easy. The atmosphere is better on the bar side versus the restaurant side, but I understand as they are trying to accommodate a larger number of customers.
