Mai Vien in Frankfurt am Main

The beef on iron plate seems to be the most popular dish of this restaurant, we saw many customers also ordering it; the portion was generous but the meat itself was a bit too dry. My friend ordered fried noodles and totally recommended it. On the day we were there, there was an company event (or something similar) which took place in the big room of restaurant, so it was quite lousy.

Everything fits here. The food and drinks taste excellent. The dishes look excellent. The size of the dishes portions is excellent. You have to wait some time for your food, which I think is good because it shows that it is freshly prepared. Special requests are gladly accepted. Parking spaces can usually be found in good proximity. Review 11/05/2024

Very nice place for the richness of the Vietnamese cuisine.

Friendly service, you felt very welcome. Food and drinks were also very good.

Very good food and friendly service!

Excellent food! Very well served and very nice atmosphere!!

I finally managed to spend a nice evening here in a relaxed manner. I wanted to “celebrate” my birthday with my loved ones, i.e. my closest family, in a calm and relaxed way, i.e. enjoy my favorite cuisine (Vietnamese since I was little) in “family style” in a nice atmosphere. Although I forgot to make a reservation because I was so busy and didn't call until lunchtime for the same evening, we got a wonderful seat in the beautiful courtyard. It's great: my favorite herbs grow in every corner: perilla, Thai basil, Vietnamese mint and coriander! We ordered across the menu: mango salad, rice crepe, papaya and squid salad, sour and spicy shrimp soup, rice dough rolls, vegetables baked in rice flour and of course my last meal: summer rolls and bun bo, with one, two or three bowls of fresh chili. Everything was incredibly tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. It's hard to choose a favorite, but the crispy vegetables and the papaya salad really made you want to order it 5 more times. Only the Nuoc Mam (lime fish sauce) could have used a little less sweetness and more lime and fish sauce for me personally, but I generally make it hotter and more intense than usual at home. The highlight was the homemade Sina banana ice cream, which I have actually never gotten anywhere in Frankfurt: the small, very sweet and aromatic banana covered in frozen coconut milk, cut into slices and served with peanuts and mint, really indescribably good, definitely try it!! Finally, of course, the beloved Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, but the normal espresso was also good and nicely served. The young service person was friendly and, above all, tried very hard to respond to our needs despite hardly any knowledge of German. Hats off! The owner (?) was always ready to answer interested questions and receive enthusiastic praise. When I "disappeared to the toilet" to settle the bill inside the next surprise, I was definitely prepared for more. For 4 people with around 15 small dishes, dessert and drinks, I paid €145 including a good tip. I definitely expected more. We would be happy to come back when the summer is over, the beautiful interior area entices you to spend a great evening with excellent food! Thank you!

Super fresh and delicious food and courteous, fast service! Thank you very much - we'll be happy to come back!

Very tasty food. Service friendly. Sitting outside is ok. But benches are not very comfortable. Some vegan options available

Modern furnishings. Seating in the backyard too. Friendly and attentive service. Great selection of food. Large drinks menu. But most importantly: it tastes fantastic. Conclusion: Whenever we stay in Frankfurt, we always come here and enjoy a wonderful evening. Only recommended.

A true gem! Such nice people and really quick with service of our orders. We had a seat on the back garden terras. The building was under reconstruction from the outside but that was no problem cause we were in heaven because of the lovely fresh food. I can also recommend the crispy duck with vegetables. Never eaten such nice tender duck. Lots of vegetarian choices also. Enjoy the flavours of Vietnam and treat yourself while you are there with a nice cocktail. Yes you reserve it!

Ordered via Uber Eats, so can't say much about it's service ambience. Ordered it's beef slice pho and spring roll, which both tasted slightly better than average. The only 'complaint' will be the portion of the soup provided was quite little I felt.

Place found by chance, very nice. Friendly and accommodating staff. All dishes were delicious and well presented.

Excellent address. Fine cuisine. When all the restaurants in the center of Frankfurt for Tex Process, a very good address. Go with your eyes closed

Very polite, cozy and the food is delicious and appetizing

We visited Mai viên with one pescatarian and one meat eater. There was no menu online and a very limited menu on display outside which left us a bit apprehensive but decided to enquire anyway. Upon entering, the restaurant was completely early but we were quite early and it soon started filling up! They were more than happy for us to look at the menu and wow! It was huge with loads of options including dedicated vegetarian sections for starters and main courses. After seeing lots of choice, we decided to stay. After all that, seafood was opted for. We both had the battered shrimp for starter (a bargain at around 6€ per portion) which was delicious. Huge pieces of shrimp and cooked for perfection. For the main course, we opted for a shrimp main with rice noodles, salad, veg and sauce. Upon seeing the salad and noodles come out initially, I was a bit apprehensive however upon hearing the searing skillet of my dinner incoming, I knew I had made the right choice. One skillet of shrimp with 5 large pieces of shrimp, butterflied on a bed of veg which was absolutely delicious. Whilst the second main was one of the specials and was of a similar nature but was lamb with sauce and rice. Both mains were around 19.50€ and well worth the money! Others around were asking what our food was as the presentation really was impressive. All in all, an absolutely delicious meal at a very reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and the only negative is that we didn’t have more time to come for another visit! Highly highly recommend

The food is delicious, the owner is very friendly and enthusiastic.

Eveything good. The waitress so friendly.

One of our favorite restaurants for our lunch break. Food comes quick and is delicious, service is friendly and prices are fair.

Good but also priced Vietnamese. The food tastes great and is very tasty, but the portions sometimes don't fill you up completely and then it reduces the price-performance ratio a bit, which is why it's only 4* and not 5.

We recommend. Food very good. Service friendly and attentive.

In addition to visiting the restaurant, we often and very happily ordered because the food was not only delivered quickly, fresh and very tasty. After ordering today, we noticed that the portion and the duck in the curry seemed to be significantly smaller and the price of the dish as a whole was more expensive. What was previously more than enough and sometimes there was still some left over, we ask ourselves what else we could eat. Unfortunately, the new delivery fees of almost €4 ( Lieferando ) are a bit too steep for delivery within Bockenheim. Given the conditions, this was probably the last order for now. In the long term we will definitely test this again 😊

Very tasty Vietnamese food in a rather sober atmosphere. Service was rather Asian and reserved.

Definitely worth a visit. They have vegetarian options for main dishes, starters and soups. I especially recommend the pineapple tea!

Super delicious food. Very nice atmosphere and super nice employees. Gladly again.

Very tasty food Nice service Quite empty. No idea why

Sehr lecker... immerwieder gut und preiswert

Cost minimized, overpriced Vietnamese dish

Absolut empfehlenswert!!! Tolles Ambiente, leckeres Essen und super Service ❤️

Mega Lecker nette Gehste auf den Lieferboxen hinterlassen. Werden aufjedenfall öfter bestellen.

Nettes Personal, ruhiges Ambiente, das Essen war sehr lecker.

Fresh food. Fast service, everything is clean.

Wirklich ein sehr gutes Vietnamesisches Restaurant in dem die Gerichte nach eigenen Rezept frisch zubereitet werden.Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.Die Location ist stilvoll eingerichtet und das Ambiente stimmt auch.Hier kann man regelmäßig kommen und die Karte rauf und runter probieren da Wirklich alles schmeckt.

Amazing food, I love all of them!

Wunderbares Essen, herzlicher Service und faire Preise. Wir kommen regelmäßig gerne wieder. 😊

Mitten in der Stadt im kleinen Innenhof sitzen und leckeres Essen genießen. Hatte knusprige Ente mit Curry Sauce, war sehr lecker und reichlich. Die Ente war schön kross und reichlich Fleisch, nicht nur krümelige Endstücke wie es häufig vorkommt. Im Gemüse waren frische Pilze dabei, die Sauce lecker und würzig. Waren zu sechst und Essen kam zeitnah. Guter Service

Super leckeres essen und bei schönenm Wetter kann man im Innehof sitzen. Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch und der Service ist freundlich und schnell.

Netter Innenhof, ruhig und sonnig. Essen gut, Preis Leistung in Ordnung

Wow, was für ein tolles Essen und dass noch zu absolut fairen Preisen. Wir haben unseren Stammvietnamesen gefunden in Frankfurt 😉

Guter Vietnamese. Bin Stammgast. Schöner Innenhof. Gutes Essen mit sehr gutem preisleistungsverhältnis.

Wir waren gestern mit 5 Personen dort und waren begeistert. Wir saßen erst draußen und es fing auf einmal stark an zu regnen. Obwohl das Restaurant sehr voll war, wurde eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, damit wir drinnen sitzen können. Die Atmosphäre war sehr entspannt und wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt! Abgesehen davon: das Essen war sehr sehr lecker, viel und es gibt eine Riesen Auswahl an Vorspeisen, Hauptgerichten und Desserts. Ein tolles Erlebnis!

We have eaten here many times, the food is always fresh, authentic and super tasty… Love it here

Angenehmes Ambiente das Essen war sehr gut und preiswert

Chủ quán rất vui vẻ và nhiệt tình.

Nhà hàng được trang trí mang đậm nét đặc sắc Việt Nam với cả không gian trong nhà lẫn bên ngoài, bạn có thể chọn ngồi ngoài trời hoặc ở bàn bên trong quán. Đồ ăn thơm ngon, được nấu hài hòa phù hợp với tất cả mọi người. Vị trí của quán rất dễ tiếp cận. Chủ quán và các nhân viên rất tốt bụng và nhiệt tình, luôn sẵn sàng tư vấn giúp bạn chọn được món ăn phù hợp với mình. Giá cả hợp lý so với chất lượng tuyệt vời của món ăn.

Sehr leckere und authentische Küche, Schneller und freundlicher Service. Außerdem ging es sehr schnell, allerdings war auch wenig los. Leider geht man außen leicht vorbei ohne zu ahnen das ein Besuch sich lohnt. Also unbedingt mal ausprobieren.

Essen ist lecker (ich hatte hervorragendes Lamm, meine Begleitung eher unspannendes Tofu) und man sitzt recht nett im Hinterhof. Preise finde ich völlig angemessen. Bedienung ist sehr nett, könnte aber etwas aufmerksamer sein.

Très bonne cuisine et boisson excellente

Sehr schönes Ambiente, hervorragendes Essen welches auf sinnlich schönem Geschirr serviert wird. Der Inhaber ist sehr herzlich und man fühlt sich bestens umsorgt. Mein Favorit: gegrilltes Rindfleisch auf heißer Platte serviert und dazu die beste Limetten Limonade! 🔝

Ein Geheimtipp den man dort so nicht erwartet. Ein kleines und feines Restaurant mit einem wirklich sehr ruhigen Innenhof. Die Karte mit wunderbaren Gerichten zu fairen Preisen. Der Nachtisch Bananeneis in Kokosmantel oder ein Grüntee Eis sind eine Offenbarung und zur Unterstützung danach einen vietnamesischen Kaffee. Leider muss man für die Parkplatz- Suche etwas Zeit einplanen, der Eingang liegt direkt neben dem 13.Polizeirevier?, deren Parkplätze man nicht benutzen sollte.

Wir wurden hier noch nie enttäuscht.Alles sehr frisch und lecker. Sehr zu empfehlen.Der Service ist sehr freundlich und die Speisen werden schnell serviert.

Waren zum Mittagessen dort. Portionen recht klein war aber lecker. Tee eher hochpreisig.

Wir haben Reis mit Ente und Gemüse zum Mitnehmen bestellt. Selbst nach 1,5h war die Ente noch zart und nicht zäh! Nächstes mal werden wir bei MV wieder bestellen.

Comida muy buena y el servicio súper atentos, 100x100 recomendable.

Kleines nettes Restaurant mit sehr netten und höflichen Personal. Das Essen war super. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist völlig in Ordnung. Wäre es für mich nicht so weit entfernt, würde ich öfter dort hin gehen.

Sehr feine und tolle Küche, frische Produkte und ein richtiges Gaumenerlebnis. Unbedingt vorher reservieren, kleines und gemütliches Restaurant.

Mai Vien had been one of my go-to restaurants, for well over 15 years, whenever I was in Frankfurt for business. But my work over the past decade (especially since COVID-19 struck) had taken me to other parts of the world and I hadn’t had a chance to visit. So it was great to return and discover that their food, and service, is as good as it has been. And their prices can’t be beat! It was like getting together with an old friend. Having traveled extensively in Vietnam, I can attest to their food being authentic. And delicious! It is sad to see how much the neighborhood has changed over the past decade, and learn that many of our favorite restaurants had closed. But it was great to find Mai Vien still in business, and still serving delicious meals after all these years!

Un locale delizioso dove l’atmosfera accogliente rende pienamente giustizia a piatti profumatissimi e leggeri, ben cucinati e ben presentati. Se ripasseremo da Francoforte, torneremo sicuramente

쌀국수 국물 너무 짜고 가격에 비해 양도 적었음. 처음 음식이 나왔을때 면끼리 들러붙어 있고 먹다보니 그 면들이 2센치 간격으로 부스러져있음. 배달 전문 업체인지 사람 별로 없었음.

Insgesamt sehr positive Erfahrung. Nette Bedienung, aufmerksam. Vorspeise fand ich okay, aber eigentlich zu teuer. Hauptspeise ( gebratene Nudeln) waren sehr gut, fein geschnittene Komponenten mit klarem Geschmack

Sehr gute Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Auch viele vegetarische Gerichte. Alles wird frisch und trotzdem schnell zubereitet. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Sehr freundliches Personal. Wurde vor kurzem renoviert. Modern, aber trotzdem gemütlich eingerichtet.

[Follow me on Instagram to stay up to date - eatwith.thien] #41 Bún bò huế🇻🇳🍜 Bowl of spicy broth, beef, pork, roasted chilies, lemongrass, fresh herbs, spring onions and rice noodles . . #111 Chè chuối🍌 Bananas cooked in coconut cream with tapioca pearls and peanuts . Prices: 🍜12€ 🍌4,5€ . I was happy to eat vietnamese in a restaurant the first time again after six months. The Bún bò huế was delicious, but no comparison to the mother's homemade Bún bò huế at home. The broth was aromatic and had a pleasant spiciness and the squeezed lime gave the soup some acid. I like the taste of the lemongrass. The beef was tender and the vietnamese pork mortadella was firm. The chopped spring onions and the fresh herbs gave the noodle soup an aromatic taste. The dessert was the highlight of the dinner. I have never seen Chè like this in vietnamese restaurants in Germany. It was so delicious. The coconut milk was creamy and sweet and had something salty with it. The tapioca pearls gave the dessert a smooth but nice consistency. The cooked and finely chopped banana was hot and sweet and the peanuts gave the dessert a crunch. A delicious composition. . The restaurant is very modern and has a terrace in the courtyard, which was well staffed today.The waitress was extremely friendly and served us well. You can get to the restaurant by tram, but there are also parking spaces on the side of the street for cars . 🍽Food 7.5/10 💆‍♀️Service 8/10 🏮Ambiente 8/10 📍Location 7/10 . .

I've been there twice: best Vietnamese restaurant in Frankfurt - and I know some and the cooking as my wife is Vietnamese. You can taste the food is fresh made, very tasty and not the fast tourist feeding. Atmosphere is relaxed and pleasing, service always friendly and open for suggestions. Better make a reservation for groups over 6 as the place is not that big.

Das Essen ist super lecker und alles ist frisch gekocht. Wir waren am Sonntagabend mit sechs Personen dort. Jeder hatte etwas anderes bestellt. Alles hat hervorragend geschmeckt. Wir waren begeistert. Die Portionen sind ordentlich. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Sehr freundlicher Service. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall bald wieder.

Vanavond in de achtertuin van Mai Vien gegeten. Ik kan dit restaurant iedereen aanbevelen. Met name de eend was geweldig lekker. Een aanrader.

Location: piccolo locale quasi anonimo all’esterno. Interni semplici e senza particolari tipicità. Forse servirebbe un tocco più orientale. Voto 6. Servizio: cordiale e familiare. Nel nostro gruppo c’era chi parlava tedesco ma credo che anche in inglese si possa dialogare. Menu anche in inglese. Fatevi aiutare nella scelta dei piatti. Voto 7. Cibo: ottimo. Piatti ben realizzati e saporiti. Ogni boccone e’ carico di sfumature orientali. A piatti freschi e delicati si alternano altri più piccanti e dai sapori decisi. Voto 8. Prezzi: per qualità adeguati, per il servizio un po’ alti. Mi sarei aspettato un conto più soft. Voto 6+.

Zum Mittagessen mit einem Arbeitskollegen und wir waren beide sehr angetan. Vorsuppe auf das Haus und danach die Ente war sehr gut. Auch die NUdeln und das Gemüse, Nichts zu meckern, Service und check out sehr gut.

We had the pleasure of eating here on a recent visit. The food and the staff were very good. Two thumbs up!

Komme seit Jahren gern hier her, stets frisch zubereitete und super appetitliche Speisen. Mittagstisch unschlagbar, stets Suppe aufs Haus vorweg. Die frisch zubereiteten Limonaden sind lecker und erfrischend. Habe Allergie gegen Glutamat, hier wird ganz sicher ohne gekocht.
