Mai Lee Description:
The hungry crowds at Mai Lee have migrated a few miles south, following this Vietnamese-Chinese hybrid into Brentwood from U. City. Mai Lee introduced Vietnamese to St. Louis and remains at the forefront for its affordability and consistently good food---not to mention its sheer number of menu items, which pushes into the hundreds. To simplify things, groups can order four- or six-course prix-fixe dinners. Noodle dishes are popular, but we're partial to the ga xao xa ot, spicy chicken with lemon grass---it's not wildly hot, but it is redolent with flavor. Soups are standouts, and the banh cong (Vietnamese pancake) is a delight, its fluffy, crêpe-like egg encasing a variety of treats. Even the banh mi sandwiches are swell; the expanded menu at this location offers more of 'em. The addition of an honest-to-goodness bar has prompted the longtime owners to add more libations, especially wines. Finish a meal with Vietnamese iced coffee rich with condensed milk, one of the unsung treats of the cuisine.
