Mai Viet - Redfern

Amazing PHO! Sensational service with a relaxing atmosphere. Chilled out music I could stay here all day (possibly bring my work laptop next time!!!) Impeccably clean and easy parking down the side street of bustling surry hills

They are only licensed to bring wine so don't expect to be able to drink a beer. They didn't tell me this until I had been there for 10 mins rather than when I sat down and asked them to open it. Food is so so and I wasn't delighted with my pho. The broth for pho wasn't very tasty - appeared to be hot water and a stock cube although that may not be the case-and appeared to have sugar in it , yuk. There were no vegs, just noodles and a couple of quails eggs. And I took most of it home; had to pay for a container and do it myself at the table. I thought perhaps my daughter would like it but she didn't like the taste at all either. It was chucked out . My crispy skin chicken was clearly fried numerous times so the chicken itself was tough and covered in multi fried skin. My partner had a beef stir fry which had minimal vegetables . They absolutely REFUSED to put any vegs in it even if we paid extra which I offered . They insisted that we had to pay $15 to order a full additional stir fry vegetable plate. Not impressed. So overall it was not a great experience and we won't be going back .

Clean, modern decor with tasty Vietnamese food. They offer lunch specials at $10. It's a popular place as we got there early as soon as it opened and soo around 7 tables were booked. The main meals are a good portion. Will definitely try again.

First time here but won't be my last. Food is well priced and tasty. Salt and pepper tofu was generous in serving size and really yummy. I ordered the vegetarian pho for my main and was advised to order the medium serve. It was huge and delish. Generous amount of veggies too. The spring rolls also looked delicious. Def give this place a try if you like your Vietnamese

I went here for lunch with my workmates. They had a $10 lunch special that was fairly good value. I ordered the pho (raw beef + beef brisket) which was delicious. It had lots of flavour! We will definitely be back!
