In addition to offering fabulous lodging and a private beach, Mai House also boasts one of the better restaurants on this stretch of the island. Along with the included breakfasts, we’ve had a few dinners here while overlooking the amazing sunsets.
Mai House is run by a French expatriate, but the menu is distinctly Vietnamese. Our favorite dish (which we had 3 times) was the pomelo salad. Sweet, tart, and spicy with fresh pomelo, lime juice, shrimp and a generous topping of sesame seeds. We also liked the fish in lot leaves, a variation of the classic beef in lot leaves that incorporated blackened fresh fish into a Vietnamese dolma.
Overall, we enjoyed every dish that we ordered at Mai House, including a few memorable dishes. Good food and a stunning view, it’s hard to ask for more!
Awesome pomelo salad – we ordered ours sans pork
Tuna in clay pot – caramelized and tender
Goa-style shrimp curry. While not much to look at, it was so tasty I ordered it twice!

Hey,
We stayed at Mai House when we were on Phu Quoc and enjoyed it. Seemed like the nicest non-five star place on the beach. Food was great and location was ideal. We had a horrible meal at the Sea Star. The offerings looked nothing like what you had. Must have changed since our visit.
