Maiku Vietnamese Pho

Very authentic and delicious Pho. It's a small dining room, but the staff are friendly and make everyone gets seated quickly.The add-ons come on a small plate, and that's what I like to see: sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro and lime.Portions are generous. I didn't try the Banh Mi, but I hear it's excellent.

Ate here today with my parents and sister to try this place out for dinner. We had gotten different kinds of pho soup to eat and enjoy ourselves individually. It was absolutely delicious and yummy that the pho soup was rich and not too salty at all. We couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time when I visit Pittsburgh.

Actually perfect pho. I tried the bun bo hue which is a spicy beef pho with round noodles. It was... ACTUALLY PERFECT. Every element was spot on. Optimal spice and salt levels, impeccable broth flavor, good amounts of beef, and plenty of garnish. I went to Bae Bae's cafe earlier today and got a bahn mi and it was... hideous. Soft bread, almost no meat, and doused in way too much spicy mayo. I didn't get a bahn mi here at Maiku but I can already tell based on the quality of the pho that it would absolutely destroy Bae Bae's. Oh and the bahn mi at Maiku is $4 cheaper. The staff was personable and friendly. The environment is very casual which is how you know the food is legit. The food came out in less than 15 minutes. Overall this is easily the best food we've had in Pittsburgh so far.

We picked up takeout on a Sunday afternoon and tag teamed it because parking is pretty slim pickings near the restaurant. I ran in and my better half circled the block. We tried the Banh Mi Pork hoagie which was a little too heavy on the bread and not stuffed enough. The flavor was good but the ratio was off. Their Com Ga Nuong (grilled chicken over rice) with a cuke salad and delicious fish sauce was really terrific and healthy. We also tried their Chicken and Beef Pho dishes which came nicely packaged for take-out so everything didn't get soggy. The broth had nice star anise flavoring and the jalapenos and bean sprouts were fresh. The Goi Cuon shrimp spring roll was very tasty too. We enjoyed our meal from this place and would try it again.

AMAZING place for authentic Vietnamese food!!! The restaurant is located in the Strip District on the street with all the shops and restaurants, which is very convenient. I went here with some friends and the restaurant was pretty full when we got there, popular place! The service was fast and accommodating to my friends' dietary needs. I love this place and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

New fave pho spot!! Went today, and it's the best pho we've had in Pgh. It's super small, a hole-in-the-wall sized place with just 6 tables, and it's SO good. Their pho broth is delicious. They serve it with white onion/scallion in the bowl but *cilantro* on the side which is amazing for people like me who hate cilantro - no chance of even a fleck in my bowl. They also keep crispy chili oil on the table to add and it was amazing! Also had a honeydew milk tea and hubs had Thai tea, both yum! The chef (and I think owner?) also came out a couple times to check on people and was super friendly and funny. This place is legit. Pricing is city pricing... but it's worth it!

The best pho I've ever had! The ingredients were top-notch. This restaurant is my first stop in Pittsburgh, whenever I visit the town.

soooo delicious. i ordered the pho tai-nam and the grilled pork banh mi, i loved them both so much. it's a little far from where i live but i think it's worth it. the place is small and prices are good for the amount you get. perfect place for an introvert. the guy working the front was fast and attentive will definitely come back :)

We visited for my daughter's 21st birthday. She had recommended this place since her Vietnamese friend said it was her favorite and closest to home cooking. It's small and simple but the outstanding food in the most friendly service made all the difference. We tried the beef meatballs, spring rolls Had the beef pho and several other dishes everything was very, very delicious. We will definitely be back. Probably most convenient for takeout, but if there's just a couple of you, you can eat there and the service is wonderful thank you to the owners for their kindness and their attention to detail in their amazing food.

Little Vietnamese place on the strip! Pretty good food, everything was fast and tasted fresh, the tofu marinade was nice and I liked their chili oil. A very simple interior but the lady working was really nice! Definitely good for a quick but filling lunch, especially if you work in the area! My only little thing is I wish there was more than just lettuce/noodle/protein in the summer rolls, I prefer when people put other fresh vegetables like carrot & cucumber as well.
