Mai's is a Vietnamese restaurant in Houston, Texas that first opened in 1978.

History

Originally opened in 1978 by Phin and Phac Nguyen,[1] Mai's was the first restaurant in Houston to feature Vietnamese cuisine.[2] The couple named the restaurant after their daughter, who took over the business in 1990.[1]

A fire on February 15, 2010 caused most of the roof to collapse.[3] Authorities determined the incident was caused by a wok that caught fire.[2] The restaurant re-opened on April 16, 2011.[2] The business has since been passed down to Mai's daughter Anna.[1]
