Unfortunately, due to the nature of my work, I spend a lot of time traveling; however, on up side it gives me plenty of opportunities to try new restaurants. Recently, while staying in the Langley I had the pleasure of stumbling across Mai's Vietnamese Restaurant. Now, I will not profess to be an expert on Vietnamese cuisine, but I will say that I do enjoy it.
Mai's isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurant, it comes off as a little more upscale than most I have been to. As I noted earlier, I am not an expert on Vietnamese; therefore, I tend to stick to what I know (BBQ Pork, Vermicelli & Spring Rolls or Pho). This time I chose the Vermicelli, BBQ Pork and Spring Rolls ($16). I must say that the pork was delicious and the spring rolls were also very good. I have had better spring rolls, but I wouldn't kick these ones out of bed for eating crackers. Seriously, they were pretty good. I cannot comment on the service or the overall dining experience since, I got my food to go. I will say though, that the food was made fast, the portions were large, it tasted fantastic and the price was reasonable.
I enjoyed Mai's so much that I went back again for the same thing on the last day of my stay!

That price is very expensive for Vietnamese Food. I have gone on daily deal sites such as hungrybuy com or redpocket to get 50% off the bill at many of the asian restaurant in Vancouver. Ask them to see if they have coupons out there you should look for.
As Anonymous (May 5, 2012 1:09 am) said, it might be very expensive for Vietnamese food - but as a Langley resident, I've got to say that this is a reasonable price for that whole meal. Vietnamese food is so underpriced here.
I love Mai's and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
