Super delicious Vietnamese restaurant and I would highly recommend anything and everything on the menu. Ordered the Bun Thit Bo Xao (lemongrass beef noodles without broth) and mango salad (which includes pork belly and shrimp). The lemongrass beef was plentiful and super tender, a great fish sauce based dressing on the side and plenty of veggies and noodles to pair with the beef. The mango salad is a must get, tender and plump pork belly, snappy fresh shrimp, sweet succulent mangoes. I would come back anytime.

Blown away at how good this place was. It hit the spot! I got the lemongrass pork vermicelli and also the Pho Ga (chicken). The pork is like the consistency of soft jerky on crack, but with no jerky musty after taste. The portions are good, and I was full and good to stop a little more than halfway through, but couldn’t stop eating. The pho broth had great flavor and they put plenty of chicken in. So satisfied! The price is right, and the atmosphere matches well.

Fast casual atmosphere great for lunch. Had the lemongrass chicken with added egg and cha gio. Iced Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet. So much food, and delicious flavors. Chicken was tender. Ask for the chili oil to give the dishes some heat - perfect spicy addition. Little pricier than I thought with the additions ($35 after tax and tip) but still worth the price. Will be coming back here

Enjoyed the food here! I had the chilli lemongrass chicken and it tasted great the catfish tasted great as well. Beer was fairly priced and the pho bowls were sized well too. There is plenty of seating for different sized groups. They played great old school hip hop and recent hits and just at the right levels where you don't have to scream to speak at your table mates. Acoustics are pretty good hear overall. Service was great too Worth making a visit!

=========Update Oct 2018======== Bun Rieu: - Do not order this soup noodle - It is the worst dish I have ordered at Mau. It's so salty that I couldn't finish the dish, and I hate wasting food. =========Update Sept 2018======== So glad to know that Mau hasn’t change much since 2 years ago. Service still a bit slow but the food is worth it. It’s normally hard to find a place that both my vegan friend and I like, but I think Mau did it. My friend loves the vegetarian egg roll. Even though it’s an appetizer, the portion is big enough to be a meal. My catfish noodle bowl is so good. 4 large pieces of perfectly seasoned and cooked catfishes on a bed of rice noodle and vegetables. The dish comes with a pungent shrimp paste sauce (I love it!), so don’t order it if you are not used to the smell. ========Original======== I usually get the pho here. It's not the best but they do use high quality meat and it's a decent portion. Also try the clay pot rice. Service could be slow, which is my only gripe.
