Mama Lieu"s Reviews
I only heard about Mama Lieu’s a few days ago but stopped in right away when I realized it was Velvet’s place!
We’ve had an avocado smoothie, Thai tea, Fried tofu, giant spring rolls, egg rolls, and the Vietnamese pancake!!
Come when you are not in a rush cause food cooked with love takes a bit longer. The front end server will make sure you are well tended to while you wait!
If there was a love button for this place I would push 100x. First time there today and def will be back ! Full review on Ithaca Food Dude

Based on the reviews, Mama Lieu's is a family-owned restaurant serving authentic Vietnamese food. The menu is more limited compared to traditional Vietnamese restaurants but has unique items like banh xeo and banh mi. The food is excellent and flavorful, with specific meals including salted coffee, milk coffee, bánh mì special, Vietnamese pancakes, pork dumplings soup, banh mi with tofu, pho, the house special, avocado smoothie, Thai tea, fried tofu, giant spring rolls, egg rolls, bun bo hue, pork banh mi, fried pork appetizers, and homemade ginger tea. The food is prepared with extreme care and cooked with love, so it takes a bit longer. The service is sincere and authentic, with the owner and servers being warm, friendly, and making guests feel at home. The restaurant is a little dark inside but is a great place for lunch and dinner.
