Hoa Mai

What kind of Vietnamese restaurant that does not know what «phở» is? I ordered online and asked for beef noodle phở and they gave me fried soft noodle with beef. WTF? I gave it a 2 for the Mongolian beef which I thought was good but zero stars for customer service for not understanding the order right.

Food was very bland, we ordered beef crispy noodles which had no flavor, fresh lumpia but it didn’t taste right and there was barely any meat in it. My friend ordered some soup and she wasn’t very fond of it either. The service was not that great, long wait.

I enjoyed Hoa Mai! My husband and his work buddies are huge fans and I got to accompany them to lunch today. My husband loves the honey walnut shrimp and the fresh lumpia. I tried both and they were good, but I loved what I got — the salt and pepper shrimp. Both shrimp dishes had big, yummy shrimp. We also ordered the iced tea and it was different than other iced teas I’ve found on island, very lemony and refreshing. They were generous with refills.
They have lots of lunch specials and they do a «fast food» lunch that has pre-​made dishes that you select from if you’re in a hurry. The food is a good value for the money — four huge fresh lumpia were $ 5.50! — and the service was actually decent! They have a surprisingly large menu, too. I will definitely be back.

its a help urself to a table restaurant. They all take their lunch at the same time so if a customer comes in during their lunch, they talk among each other for a while and then help. service is slow. the best Hoa mai i have been to is in Chalan Pago. Do not go to this one!

Awful… avoid! It states its a vietnmanese restaurant and they looked at my buddy sideways when he asked for phở. Then we both ordered short ribs. Short ribs where described as «fried» they werent battered and were almost soggy. The onions that came with were undercooked and the salad was a ridiculous mix of im guess green leaf and a few pieces of carrots with 1000 island. I was 100% disappointed at every aspect of this meal. It is a 2 minute drive from my house and I will NEVER be going back.

I live in Yigo, so this is one of the closest restaurants to our housing area. So, if you’re looking for Vietnamese-​Asian takeout, this is a good place to call.
The food is regular Vietnamese cooking, if you’re not picky. I like ordering their fried Lumpia, which like other Vietnamese restaurants, comes with lettuce, beansprouts, noodles, and the sauce – as good as others in Dededo and Tamuning. Other usual dishes, from chicken lemongrass to shrimp sinagang soup, are tasty.
The restaurant has seen better days – the owners who have other Hoa Mai restaurants around Guam took over from another restaurant (Tuan’s) a few years ago. The dining area is ok, but it could use a renovation. Service is ok, but they can get busy for lunch and dinner so I prefer to order to go. So if you’re in Yigo, don’t want to drive a couple of miles to Dededo and in the mood for a no-​frills, sit-​down inexpensive meal, this place is for you.
