Diners under the bamboo — the Phuong Mai garden

Vegetarian hotpot bubbling with mushrooms and greens
The signature

The hotpot, steaming for the table.

Vegetarian hotpot bubbling on a portable burner, fresh greens and mushrooms piled high — a dish for the whole table. At Phuong Mai, chay is not a restrained option but a full spread: shared, warming, full of flavor.

On the table

What the photos actually show.

Said plainly: Phuong Mai publishes no merchant menu we could copy faithfully — its Google Maps listing carries no menu section — so we record only the dishes that appear in the real photo set: pomelo salad, fried tofu bundles and the vegetarian hotpot.
