Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant

People rush to Mai's for its traditional Vietnamese fare, like the warming bowls of noodle soups -- among them, traditional beef meatball soup with cilantro, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeņo on the side. The various skin-burning clay pots, such as the combo curry pot (rice topped with shrimp, chicken and mixed vegetables in a coconut curry sauce) are also specialties. The dinner specials are gargantuan, affordably priced platters that are accompanied with one fried roll, two butterfly shrimps, chicken soup or chicken salad, stir-fried vegetables and steamed rice. There is an extensive array of vegetarian dishes at this dark and Spartan space that is basically a selection of other specials sans meat.
