There is nothing quite like this in Oxford yet.

The blooming mai flower signals the arrival of spring - a season of new beginnings, hope, and cherished moments of family reunion.

In Vietnamese culture, the mai blossom is more than just a symbol of Tết; it represents luck, warmth, and the joy of togetherness.

For this reason, we chose the name Mai Vietnamese Restaurant - a name that carries the spirit of spring and the feeling of returning home. We hope that when you step into Mai, you will feel the same peace, comfort, and warmth as gathering with loved ones during the first days of the new year, sharing home-cooked meals.

Each dish at Mai is prepared to preserve the authentic flavours of Vietnam, like an invitation to revisit the familiar memories of a family meal. At the same time, we hope Mai can enrich the culinary landscape of Summertown in particular and Oxfordshire as a whole, bringing the taste of Vietnam to the local community with love.
