Editor’s Note
Last updated 3 Aug 2026
Our take: Mai Kitchen in Novena offers a strong showing for Vietnamese cuisine, particularly their Banh Mi.
We see consistent praise for the Banh Mi, with the beef version at $9.80 highlighted for its crisp and buttery baguette, flavorful yet tender beef, and well-balanced vegetables.
The grilled pork Banh Mi also receives high marks for its crispy bun and soft pork, described as an 'explosion of sinful taste.' Beyond the Banh Mi, the fresh salad rolls with prawns are noted for their plumpness and fresh ingredients, though some feedback suggests an addition of sriracha would enhance the experience.
The vermicelli with barbecue pork is also a popular choice, praised for its smoky and sweet pork, non-soggy noodles, and overall healthy taste.
While the food generally receives high praise, some reviewers mention the eatery's small, somewhat cramped space and an initial unpleasant smell, which dissipates over time.
Despite these minor points, the quality of the food and friendly service make it a compelling option.
We'd recommend Mai Kitchen for a satisfying and authentic Vietnamese meal, especially if you're in the mood for a well-executed Banh Mi.
