The flavors here were really good - the broth that came with the drunken noodles was rich and deep, reminded me of what someone's mom would make. Pretty rare for a restaurant. It wasn't too salty or too strong, but very balanced.

Very tasty meal at Mama Mu’s! The dishes were delicious, especially the Pad Thai. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food came out very quick. I’d certainly come back.

I am very sorry to write about our bad experience in this restaurant. We came Wednesday night about 8pm. As soon as we sit we realized the table was not very clean and sticky, and the music too loud. Then we had to deal with a lady (she seems to be the manager or owner) yelling as she speak at her phone in a corner. She was disrespectfully loud, no care about the rest of the costumers. With the music, the lady yelling and the lack of any sound treatment to the naked walls we couldn’t listen to each other at the table. We ordered Thai Papaya Salad; Pat See-Ew, Kai Pad Rod Fai (Fried rice), Guay Tiew Kua, and Thai tea. Salad was ok but some pieces so large that it was hard to eat it. Pad See-Ew was with tofu. No taste at all, first time I had a bad experience with this dish after many years. It’s a classic that I always enjoy in any Thai but this was made with no love at all. It also came with a whole fried egg on top instead of scrambled and mixed. My wife didn’t even finish her Fried Rice as it was also plain bad and distasteful. No flavors as it was cooked with no love for Thai cuisine. My son’s dish came with a red sauce that he said saved the dish. Another incredible thing was that I never had bad experience with Thai tea, it is always delicious, sweet and with a nice mix of it flavors. This one was plain and bad, almost water with color. The young waiter was very nice but it is hard to believe this place has a 4.8 rate. It seemed to me like this place has no respect for Thai food nor quality service but I definitely need to write this so people avoid this place and go to many other Thai places in the city that treat you so good.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mama Mu's Bistro, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, who immediately made me feel at home.
The menu at Mama Mu's Bistro is a delightful surprise with its diverse offerings. I opted for their signature dish, the "Chiang Mai" beef khao soi, and it was a revelation. The server not only served the dish but took the time to explain how to enjoy it fully, which added a personal touch to my meal.
The "Chiang Mai" beef khao soi itself was a masterpiece. The rich orange broth was bursting with flavor, and the tender beef paired perfectly with the noodles. A word of advice: heed the warning about wearing a bib or dark clothing because the broth is so deliciously splash-worthy!
To complement my meal, I enjoyed a complimentary matcha which was a refreshing palate cleanser, and a lime iced tea that was perfectly balanced in sweetness.
What truly impressed me was the ambiance of Mama Mu's Bistro. Despite arriving before the lunch rush, I had the restaurant almost to myself for an hour, allowing me to savor my meal in a tranquil environment.
Overall, Mama Mu's Bistro exceeded my expectations in every way. From the warm hospitality to the expertly crafted dishes, it's a place I can't wait to visit again soon. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with a touch of culinary flair, Mama Mu's Bistro should be at the top of your list.

Best Thai food I’ve had in SF! The pad kee mao was so good I wanted to order a second round for dessert. The khao soi was phenomenal, and the taste transported me back to Chang Mai.

I would love to recommend this place for lunch special. Curry of the day change everyday keep asking them for an update. Today I got panang curry with chicken. It was delicious and tasty. They said they have green curry as well but not today. I will come back to try again. Love the service and the owner so nice and friendly. Definitely come back to try their dinner too. 5 stars for them.

This is one of the few restaurants that I think really deserves to have 5 stars! I was first impressed by their excellent services. Then it came the tasty food and drinks. The soft music together with their cleanliness and cozy atmosphere made us fell in love with this place. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and families. See you all there!!!
Vegetarian options: I tried their lunch special with spicy eggplants and tofu over rice. It was very tasty!

First off, the menu is mainly pork items and they are out of pork. She comes to us and says “hi, we made the Lao papaya salad, even though we asked for the Thai salad and she said this is the last order” then we say no and she goes back in and 1 minute later comes back out to tell us they could make it. Then 2 minutes go by and she says I’m sorry we don’t have Thai salad. We ordered the Isaan larb salad and we asked for mild. It was freaking spicy . She also pushed us to get the check multiple times. Saying they are closing but she didn’t even give us our last course, like come on, at least give us our meal first before pushing us to get the check. Never coming back again.
