Our world
Mai brings together the warmth of Vietnamese flavors and the craftsmanship of Japanese cuisine. At its heart, Mai is about gathering, sharing, and creating a dining experience that feels a little like home. Our menu evolves every three months, giving us space to explore new ideas, flavors, and techniques. With each return, we hope there is always something new to discover, while the feeling of warmth and connection remains the same.
In Vietnamese, “Mai” means tomorrow. It is also the apricot blossom, a symbol of spring, renewal, joy, and reunion. Rooted in Vietnamese heritage and inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, Mai was created as a place for people to gather, share thoughtful food, and create memories around the table. At Mai, we celebrate today while always looking forward to what tomorrow may bring.
