About Mama Ji's

Mama Ji's in San Francisco offers bold and authentic Sichuan cuisine that captures the essence of traditional flavors. The Hot & Numbing fish is a standout dish, and the triple C tofu is highly recommended as well. The ambiance is casual, and the portions are generous, justifying the cost. The homemade sauce for the tofu is unique, and the service is attentive and friendly. Many customers appreciate the amazing food and the wide selection of vegan and vegetarian options, including dishes like braised tofu stir fry with garlic shoots, wood mushrooms, green onion, red peppers, and garlic, as well as the delicious steamed buns filled with tofu and vegetables called Wo Wo Tou. Visitors often enjoy the noodles, dumplings, rice, and veggie dishes, which are cooked perfectly. The fish with pickled cabbage and seaweeds salad is uniquely delightful, with crackling pepper adding a wild flavor. The restaurant's cozy local atmosphere makes it a favorite for many. While some mention that other places like Spicy King may sometimes have better Sichuan food, Mama Ji's combination of Sichuan dishes with Belgian beer is considered unbeatable. A visit to Mama Ji's is a culinary adventure worth repeating, especially when finishing off with a lava custard dumpling.
