Description

The first million-dollar Vietnamese restaurant in Minnesota is a cultural event no matter how you cut it. So when you cross over the hand-carved wooden bridge at the entrance of Mai Village, and cross over the waterfall and koi pond, please feel free to let out a whistle of appreciation. It's hard to decide what's most amazing: The embroidered silk ceiling panels? The elaborate flower cut-outs in the hand-carved chairs? The fact that you can get a Vox on the rocks with your spring rolls? Who cares, you gotta get in here.

  • 2007 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    One recent Saturday night, a family of four tucked into a capacious booth at Mai Village and, over cream-cheese wontons for the small folk ($4.25) and limey bun salads topped with two types of sweet, fatty pork ($6.95 each), for the credit-card-wielders, they talked of Vietnam. And therefore of the two-headed dragons adorning the wooden bridge at the entrance and the koi shimmering beneath. Of the elaborate carvings on nearly every surface in the dining room--the windowsills, the... More »

  • 2006 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    Just inside Mai Village's exquisitely embroidered menus, before the lists of Vietnamese delicacies including sesame beef and steamed walleye in ginger-soy sauce, reads the sentence: "We are a family business concerned with your satisfaction." This tiny phrase says it all; from the wall of green bamboo stalks to your last course of seven-course beef, Mai Village's attention to detail is unmatched in Minnesota, and probably in Vietnam. Entering the restaurant, you traipse across a wooden... More »

  • 2005 | BEST POWER LUNCH

    Even before Mai Village's extraordinary multimillion-dollar makeover last year, the humble University Avenue Vietnamese restaurant was a favorite of political powerbrokers. In fact, we recall seeing Dean Barkley noshing there shortly after he returned from his eight-week stint as a U.S. senator in 2002. Back then, the appeal was mainly the scrumptious $6 lunch specials and vigilant service. But now that this longtime Frogtown staple has moved a few blocks closer to the Capitol and been... More »

  • 2005 | BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT

    By now we're all familiar with the fabulous Eat Street triad, Quang Restaurant, Pho Tau Bay, and Jasmine Deli. We've been singing their well-deserved praises for going on 10 years. However, this year the bar has been raised. Literally. With a full bar and high-art decor, Mai Village is the clear champion in '05. "Oh, great," you're probably thinking, "here goes City Pages voting for booze over broth, beauty over bun." Not true. Booze and beauty are just the icing on the cake, and it's a... More »
