Mai restaurant was born from a deep passion for sharing the flavours and traditions that have been passed down through our family for generations. Every dish on the menu is inspired by authentic family recipes, carefully prepared the way we learned in our own home — with patience, balance, and heart.

From slow-simmered broths to fresh herbs and vibrant spices, each plate reflects the true spirit of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. There is nothing quite like this in Oxford yet — a place where guests can experience genuine, home-style Vietnamese cooking made with love and authenticity.
