Mais Cafe in Ventura

Very yummy, quick, and good prices. The service was friendly and helpful and its just a fun, beautiful space. Good variety on the menu, too!

Special thanks to William and Karen. They were very welcoming and their customer service was above and beyond. I used to come here as a kid since I lived down the street. It’s super clean, and has a nice updated look to the restaurant. It’s located next to a market so you can eat before or after you get your groceries.The food was very delicious, fresh, tasty and presentation was niiiiiiiccce! I’llBe back and update more food pictures as I try new items.If you have “ebt” they will also take that form of pay, this is a very nice of them to offer fresh cooked meals with people with food stamps. This Family owned business is a perfect representation of community! Mai’s Cafe, you have my support for any future community events you may want to be part of ✊🏽🙏🏻💯🔥.

Went here for lunch and was very pleased with the food. We tried a bunch of their items: spring rolls, pork meat loaf (special, not on the official menu), banh xeo / crepe, pho, mochi chicken, and a special plate with beef, sausage, and pork meat loaf. Everything was delicious. We went on the hottest day of the year, but they have AC, and it was cold enough inside that we decided to also get pho. The mochi chicken was good! But I have to say my absolute favorite was the banh xeo / Vietnamese crepe with shrimp and pork - it was perfectly crispy. We also ordered some Thai teas and lemonade, which was refreshing. They also have boba drinks here that Id recommend too. :) Great place to eat in Ventura, CA!

First of all, I must say this is the best Pho and phenomenal Banh Xeo aka Vietnamese crepe in Ventura!I have been craving some pho since the weather these days have been a bit chilly and I just recently moved to Ventura. My friends and I decided to check this place out since it is newly renovated.We came and its a medium sized place restaurant that feels cozy inside and the place is clean and newWorker greets you and seats you down and gives you the menu and take your drink.I was looking at the menu and Banh Xeo stood out from the menu... I was so tempted and since its a new place I decided to try it. I ordered the crepe that came with shrimp, meat, bean sprouts and house special sauce. The combination crispy crepe, turmeric and of fresh ingridients with the fish sauce was amazing that really warmed my heart and soul. I also got one of their milk tea drink which was sweet and tasty and even better than any boba houses out thereMy friend ordered the special beef pho and it was amazing as one of the best Pho she has ever tried. Good amount of meat and flavorful soup combined with noodle and bean sprouts really hit the spot.Definitely we will be back more to try out other dishes. I would give it a 6 stars review if I could

Love this place. Used to go to Love Pho n More in Oxnard & Camarillo but will be coming here from now. The samba shrimp was delicious and the pho broth was so fresh and noodles perfectly cooked (not too soft or hard). Very clean and nice ambience! They have boba but it’s not on the menu.

Quite typical Vietnamese restaurant — very chill atmosphere with nice people. We felt welcomed. To my surprise they served alcohol beverages— did not know they have a bar. I was craving for pho soup and oh yeah, they did delivered.

I had the Vegan Tofu Sandwich with side soup for only $9. Great value, and quick service. Filling too

Not traditional pho. Soup is sweet, some spring rolls have shrimp some do not, just random. Read menu in detail, as the first rice noodle soup has chick breast in it!

I wanted to like this place but not serving the traditional broken rice at a Vietnamese restaurant is like not serving pasta at a Italian restaurant. Ive never ever ordered a rice plate at a Vietnamese restaurant that didnt have broken rice (mine was served with regular steamed jasmine rice) . And even though my plate looked cute and fancy- there was an unneeded raw lettuce mixture underneath my small amount of pork . The flavor was good but I wasnt impressed enough to want to come back. Plus it took awhile for the food to come out and we were the only ones there. Sorry.

Tried Mai’s cafe today and loved it! The pho was really great and delicious. Plus ordered a boba and the boba was really fresh! Definitely coming back again!
