LoveMama - sizzling steak - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

I've seen the LoveMama food truck in Williamsburg many years ago but never got around to trying it. I knew about the restaurant but also have yet to try it until yesterday. They have a great lunch special for $13.99 entree & drink. Very nice deal. I ordered the Nasi Lemak with chicken and the calamansi honey jasmine drink. As a Malaysian, I can confirm that the Nasi Lemak was good. I would just recommend that they give the rice and curry a few minutes to cool down before serving. This dish should never be served piping hot. This is a lukewarm or room temperature dish. I would also recommend peeling the cucumber completely which is the authentic way. The peel had a bitterness which wasn't pleasant. The calamansi drink didn't have any jasmine flavor and needed more calamansi, but still refreshing. I ordered a mango sticky rice to go. It was just ok. Overall, I'd come back to try more things. Service was friendly. Fyi there's a fee for credit card payments. read more

Im not sure how such a name comes about, but LoveMama doesn't disappoint with any aspect of its dining experience. Friendly service observing the front door, quick seating options and unique kitchen flairs to classic menu items helped cultivate a really positive experience. The sweet mango sauce, drizzled on actual slices of mango, for the Mango Passion Shrimp was superb and juicy. Paired with Cashew Smoked Chili and I witnessed the strength and breadth of LoveMama's kitchen. read more

The food here is served on paper plates.... which isn't really an issue because the food was delicious. They have a range of various southeast Asian options which are very affordable. The staff was quick and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is very homey. The place is simple, tight seating definitely not first date spot but perfect for ordering[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

If you're looking for good authentic Thai food this is not the place. I bookmarked this place because 4.4 stars i was excited to try. It was nowhere near my hotel but i made the trek over to Love Mama cause i wanted something good for dinner that wasn't pizza. Nothing had flavor. The flavor of everything was oil. The only thing that saved the meal was the sambal we requested. We slathered it in our food for flavor. The Pineapple fried rice, so bland zero flavor I didn't even get a Pineapple and usually there is cashews in this dish and there were none of those in there either. The Tom yum was the best thing we tried but it wasn't authentic. The drunken noodles didn't have fresh Thai basil in it, it had dried regular basil in it, my son asked why it tasted like Italian food is that oregano on top. If you look close you'll see it in the photo dried crushed basil. I really hate leaving bad reviews but they fact this place has such a high rating is insane. read more

Fusion Asian restaurants are usually a problem and this one was no different. I had a delivery order of Shrimp Summer Roll, Northern Style Papaya Salad, Malaysian Fried Fish Fillet and Vietnamese Lemon Grass Chicken. The appetizers...shrimp spring rolls and papaya salad were quite good. However, the main dishes were lacking. The lemon grass chicken was overcooked and had only the mildest "scent" of lemon grass. The Malaysian Fried Fish Fillet reminded me of Americanized sweet and sour sauce and nothing like what I remember having in Malaysia. I should have known to get the Nasi Goreng, instead. Packing and delivery were fine, but in all, a disappointing meal. Cannot recommend. read more

Staffs are friendly. There's Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Thai cuisine all under one roof. I had a bowl of Pho Beef in a cold winter weekend which was much needed. The Pho Beef was great and ended the night with desserts- Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Cream. A fresh slice of mango covered with coconut cream on top of layer of sticky rice. Let the servers know if you're allergic to sesame seeds because they sprinkled some on top of the Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Cream. Overall, food was delicious.

My girlfriend & I came on a Saturday afternoon & it was empty. We were seated right away and our orders were taken within 10 min. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It had a simple oriental ambiance with both indoor & outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started off with the roti canai which was freshly prepared (the curry not being too spicy at all) we had a Thai noodle dish and a Malaysian curry noodle dish (both were kinda spicy) but super tasty! I usually don't enjoy spicy dishes due to my low tolerance but I could definitely find myself getting these dishes again. Very friendly staff and even tastier food, would recommend if you're in the st marks area looking for Malaysian/thai eats read more

Thai food that hits the mark at an affordable price, offers takeout, and is swift. We ordered carryout on their website, with paying upon pickup as an option. Opted for the rendang nasi lemak, roti app, and pad kee mao. Got a text rather quickly letting us know that our food was ready! I found it endearing that there was real person on the other end texting us instead of an automatic bot. The food was still hot and fresh when we unpacked everything. The roti was probably my favorite--soooo soft, just the right amount of oiliness, and super rippable with a delicious dipping sauce to accompany it. The pad kee mao was your standard run of the mill drunken noodle! The nasi lemak was delicious, although some of the meat parts were a little tough to rip with a plastic spoon. I wish the meat was slightly more tender, but everything outside of that was delicious. Everything was solid for just over $40 for two mains and an appetizer. Nothing to complain about in terms of affordability, neatness, efficiency, and quality of food. Would def try other stuff on the menu. read more

Walking past this unassuming but heart-warming restaurant and decided to make a stop here. Oh so glad I did! Loveee the Rendang Nasik Lemak - the beef was so tender and the curry had a kick too. The roti was phenomenal and came out piping out. Mango sticky rice was also delicious - the mango was sweet and ripe. Very friendly owner and staff. Would love to come back! read more

Tried this place on the East side of town after reading some reviews. Was greeted and seated right away on a slow Monday night. The place is simple and clean, no frills with respect to ambience. Ordered the Roti Canai for an appetizer. The Roti was buttery and flaky as it should be. The lentil dip could maybe be better. The entree of PadSee Ew was very good. Tender chicken slivers with noodles done perfectly. This was the first time that I can think of when I was not asked 'What level of Spice?' In a Thai restaurant. Worth a return trip next time in nyc read more

Ordered: Malaysian Chicken Satay Shish Kebab (~$9): 4pc marinated chicken with cumin, charcoal grilled, and peanut dipping sauce Mee Goreng Lunch Set (~$14) with Beef (+$2): Mamak style stir fried egg noodle, fried tofu, egg, beansprout, peanuts, fresh lime; and Thai Iced Tea Curry Laksa Lunch Set (~$14): lemongrass curry soup, egg, mint leaves, scallion with egg noodles; and Viet Iced Coffee Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Cream (~$8) Aya's take: Almost 7k reviews for a small, unassuming place offering Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian cuisine!? We had to see what the hype was about. We stopped by for lunch and were seated right away. I was feeling adventurous and decided to order something new. The Mee Goreng was one option on their Lunch Set menu. The flavors are bold, layered, and deeply satisfying. It's savory from the soy sauce, fish sauce, and beef I added on. It's also sweet, spicy, and tangy and not to mention smoky from the wok. I absolutely loved it and could not put my fork down! The Curry Laksa was okay but the lemongrass and curry flavor mix wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. Both came with a drink so we got to try a smaller version of their Thai Iced Tea and Viet Iced Coffee. I think I preferred the Viet Iced Coffee as it was bolder and less sweet. We ended with the Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Cream. It was warm, soft, sweet and the mango was fresh & ripe. It was definitely the right way to end the meal! read more

LoveMama is always one of my go to restaurants when I'm in NY. I love the food here. The staff, including the owner, are so beyond nice and attentive. There is usually a wait during busy times but it is so worth it. As a vegetarian, there are multiple options that they can make veg for you, I love the nasi goreng and mee goreng. The hot milk tea is a must. Next time you're in the area, you have to go!! read more

We came here as a party of 3 around 3:30pm for a very late lunch. Probably because of the awkward meal timing, the restaurant was empty other than 1 other patron. It did seem like a popular take out place based on the number of people we saw walk in and out with their orders. Sidenote: we went in the middle of August and it was VERY hot inside. Our food came out very quickly and were all delicious. This definitely isn't a fancy sit down place. They take your order, bring out your food, you eat, pay, and leave. But importantly, the food is delicious. For a quick stop and go meal, it was perfect for us. My vegetarin friend had no difficulty finding something to eat. read more

I've never reviewed a place where I'm still enjoying my food at. My goodness the food is so delicious and flavorful I would come to New York just for this spot! This family owned restaurant is a jewel here and I wish we had one out in LA because I'd go here at least once a week. The spices are good and have a great kick to it while still being able to taste the other complexities of the meal. The owners are super friendly and love to interact with customers, so please come in and say hello, have a chat, and most importantly EAT HERE! My partner loved the dumplings the most out of all three dishes. He said the combination of the flavors were excellent and well put together. It was salty, sweet, and savory. He couldn't stop eating it! My favorite dish was the rendang nasi lemak, I have no idea what was in it because I just ordered what ever was popular and the owner said it was very good. I trusted him and my goodness it was delicious!!! The rice had hints of coconut flavor which I've never had in a savory dish. The cucumbers complimented the dish very well too, it was cold and crunchy, with a hint of sweetness. It balances out the dish entirely! I would definitely get this again. I highly recommend this!!! The mee goreng noodles were so good! We got the chicken as the protein and it was the most tender chicken I've ever had! The noodles were so yummy and chewy! Also, the tofu is delectable and has so much flavor !!! Explosion of flavor in all these dishes! When I come back to NYC, this is the first place I'm going to! I highly recommend this spot! read more

LoveMama is a cheap, easy place to grab a quick bite if you are in the area and craving noodles but aren't sure what type of Asian cuisine to definitively go for. The service is quick and the restaurant has lots of space for seating. I got pho last time I was here, and it's a solid choice. The broth is strong and flavorful and they definitely don't skimp on the meat. For me, it was almost too much meat and it was just a bit tough, but otherwise still tasty. read more

Stumbled upon this interesting fusion spot offering Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Service is friendly and efficient. Ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We got the Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Five Spices Calamari, Pad See Ew with chicken, and Passionfruit smoothie + Thai Iced Tea. My favorite is the calamari, it was seasoned + cooked perfectly, slightly crispy and tender, not rubbery at all. My partner loved the Nasi Lemak the most, it was very flavorful, and the beef is very tender. Overall, this hits the spot, couldn't ask for more for a cozy Sunday lunch. read more

The staff are friendly and there is a mix of 2 types of cuisine on the menu. I went towards the the Thai food with my partner got the Vietnamese food.

SERVICE - located in east village - indoor and outdoor seating - servers are friendly! The one we got told us about how he named the place after his own mom and that we should respect our mothers - food served on paper plates - no water given unless requested MENU - Malaysian, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes - vegan options available - average price FOOD - mango tofu (7/10): tofu and mixed vegetables stir fried with mango in a sweet and sour sauce. This dish was originally made with shrimp but the server told us we could do it vegan. I liked the contrast between the spicy sauce and the sweet mango. There was a good amount and variety of vegetables. I would recommend ordering it with a side of rice. - vegan laksa (9/10): spicy coconut noodle soup with tofu and vegetables. This dish screams comfort food. The broth is thick and full of warming spices with just the right hit of chili. There is a good amount of tofu, though I felt it was over fried and did not absorb the flavors of the broth. WOULD I GO BACK? I have promised the owner that I would see him again so I am obligated to go back. read more

We didn't have dinner reservations for anywhere and decided to come here on a whim on a late Sunday night after looking thru Yelp. This is a local mom & pop shop. This was my first time trying Malaysian food. (They have viet and Thai food on the menu as well) I ordered the Rendang Nasi Lemak and my bf ordered the Nasi Goreng which is fried rice. I must say my dish was really delicious. The curry, hardboiled egg, cucumber, and coconut pandan flavor of the rice brought so much flavor. My bfs fried rice was good too but of course he liked mine better. My friend ordered pad see ew and he enjoyed it. The calamansi honey jasmine tea that we ordered was also good. The owner came up to our table and was super nice and friendly. Had a nice conversation with him. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and I'm glad we got to try this place out. read more
