ROSARIO S. CASSATA AND FAMILY AT MAMA CHANS IN NORTHPORT, NEW YORK.
Rosario S. C.

We visited Mama Chan's for the first time with the family. It was simply an incredible experience. The staff was really helpful and polite. The pan-fried garlic udon, pork and veggie dumplings, fried rice, and sesame chicken were all served. Everything is freshly prepared and excellent. It's a pub and a quite tiny restaurant. Make a reservation because it does become busy. Additionally, parking can be difficult, but it's worth the wait because it's in a small strip center.

I stopped in to grab some take out. The place was crowded and a really good vibe. The staff were friendly and polite. I had a few minutes to observe the place. The staff was busy, but not overwhelmed bar was full and everyone was served. The cocktail menu looked great. I returned home and was treated to a great meal. The scallion pancakes were great and the vegetable soup was fantastic. I'm looking forward to a dine in experience soon.

My friend and I came here recently after seeing rave reviews of this new Taiwanese restaurant in our hometown. We were excited to try the dumplings that we had seen such buzz about. But ultimately due to the very small portions and very high prices for food that was just ok, I won't be back. To be clear: the service and ambiance at Mama Chan's were lovely. Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu, and the owner took the time to check on every table. The lighting and fireplace are very warm and inviting, and the interior is stylish and clean. But good vibes alone are not what I look for in a good restaurant. The staff encourage you to pick a few dishes to share, so that's what we did. We each got an order of the pork dumplings, and then split one order of veggie dumplings and one cucumber salad. For 6 dumplings, $16 is outrageous. You could buy 45 handmade pork and chive dumplings in Chinatown for that price. The pork dumplings tasted alright, but very small. The veggie dumplings tasted better, but were also small and cold in the middle. The cucumber salad was tasty, and very similar to the one I make at home in that it was chock full of garlic and sesame seeds. But for $8, again it was a very small portion. After we finished our dinner, we both agreed that we were still hungry. My friend got the mantou buns that came with sweetened condensed milk for dipping, and even though they were tiny, she said they were the most filling thing she'd eaten. I was also surprised to see that there aren't even any gua bao on the menu, and yet a $22 fried chicken sandwich is their most popular item?? This leads me to believe that they are catering to the rich white demographic at the expense of authenticity and bold flavors, which is a shame. I feel like there is so much potential here to do something similar to Sup Vietnamese in Stony Brook- where delicious fresh Vietnamese food and innovative drinks can be enjoyed in a stylish and modern restaurant.

Love the vibe at this small restaurant. We were lucky to get a reservation at the last minute. The menu had some of your favorites and some other region specific dishes. We ordered the pancakes stuffed with beef & scallions. I was a little disappointed because I thought they would be a scallion pancake stuffed with beef. I've had this happen elsewhere and it's a favorite. So I would not order that again. Hubby ordered the special cocktail which he enjoyed. I don't recall the name but it was made with cassis and bourbon. Hubby ordered the Fried Chicken sandwich, which he loved. Juicy and crispy. He said he'd order again but not Nashville Hot style. He enjoyed the Nashville Hot but said he'd like to try it without since the chicken seemed to have a very nice flavor on its own. I ordered the pork belly bowl. It was very yummy and something my Mom would have made. If you're expecting a bowl with lots of stuff, you may be disappointed. It's just rice, braised pork and pickled cucumber, but very delicious. The chef came out and asked what we thought of the food. My only critique was the timing of our food. First one app came out. Then my entree. Then, our second appetizer and finally, my husband's entree. They need to work on getting the apps out at the same time and the entrees out at the same time. Other than that, I was very happy with the whole experience. Love the decor, friendly service and first and foremost, the food was delicious and I would recommend and return for another meal. Near perfect.

Veggie steamed dumplings
Ang M.

Huge fan! Vibe inside is minimalistic but music was great Dumplings Cold udon noodles Shrimp special Sesame chicken with garlic rice - hmm it has great flavor but I thought the breading was too thick. Garlic rice was phenomenal though. Dumplings rocks. We had both - pan friend pork and steamed dumplings. Drinks are yummy. This place is fantastic - don't hesitate to go.

Sesame Chicken with Garlic Rice
Heather E.

My wife and I had this on our list for awhile so it' was so exciting to finally try it. The restaurant is very cute. The drinks and food are good. You can tell everything is homemade. Our waitress was also very sweet. For drinks we got the lychee martini and the Joy Luck Club. We both liked Joy Luck Club better. We shared marinated cucumber salad (very garlicky in the good way though) the handmade pan fried pork dumplings and steamed vegetables dumplings, everything was good. We also shared the sesame chicken with garlic rice and beef wrap. The chicken was a bit thick for my liking but you can tell it was fresh and had a good taste. We had the fried mantou buns for dessert. They were perfectly warm and tasted like zeppoles. I'd definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Sesame Chicken!

With a change of management we needed to see if there were any changes to out local Chinese joint…read more We were glad to see that our regular take out was none the worse, but also none the better. Let me expound. I have a tendency to gauge Chinese restaurants by their hot & sour soup; unfortunately this was mediocre, as it was neither hot (lacking white pepper) nor sour (a pronounced absence of vinegar). Would it be difficult to add some sesame oil and perhaps a taste of pork for flavor? We did appreciate the abundance of firm tofu strips. Next up was a spicy beef and onions in a rich curry sauce. This was somewhat redeeming from our lackluster soup. Our last dish was a fresh and savory moo shoo pork; the pancakes were fresh and rollable, the cabbage nice and crunchy, the sauce a tad sweet, but overall satisfying. The dishes were abundant, the prices maintained and the promise of furture dishes will hopefully satisfy our Chinese food carvings. Perhaps new management will read this, heed advice and modify as more feedback is offered.

Service and quickness were perfect. Under 10 minutes and they were busy.. However the food was way…read moreoff. Generals Tso's chicken was giant golf ball pieces of chicken with a gummy batter that tasted like carnival funnel cake with only 2 small pieces of Broccoli . We asked for it extra crispy and it was gummy and definitely not crispy. The scallion pancakes had hardly and scallion and were literally paper thin and zero flavor. The prices are in line with most other Chinese restaurants however even if it were free we wouldn't go back. Sad to say the search goes on for good chinese food in the area... :( This was more like Panda Express than a neighborhood restaurant..
