About this spot
Ô MAI delivers authentic Vietnamese flavors in the heart of Centrum with a menu that prioritizes fresh herbs and bold pho broths. Expect to find yourself diving into steaming bowls of beef noodle soup or ordering crispy spring rolls that are best enjoyed while standing at the counter. The restaurant captures the bustling energy of a local eatery without the tourist traps you might expect in Amsterdam.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra fresh basil and bean sprouts immediately, as they wilt quickly in the hot broth.
- Save room for a side of grilled pork belly or chicken, which is often sold separately to keep prices reasonable.
- Ask your server for a glass of rice wine to cleanse your palate between rich noodle dishes.
