    Must have driven by a dozen times before realizing Mama Chan's restaurant was nestled in a small plaza. Think of all those yummy meals missed! Family owned, Mama Chans offers great service and food. Try the Scallion Pancakes, Homemade Shrimp Dumplings, Sautéed Green Beans and Fried Chicken Rice Bowl. Your palate will be grateful. Tables and seating at the bar are available, but limited as it is a smaller restaurant with acoustics that make conversations a little difficult at times. However, the food makes it a delicious experience.

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

    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.

    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

    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!
    Brian B.

    Absolutely loved our dinner at Mama Chan's in Northport! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and one of the owners, Diane, made the experience even better by personally stopping by our table a couple of times to check in--super friendly and genuine hospitality. We ordered the sautéed green beans, handmade pork dumplings, pan-fried garlic udon with pork, sesame chicken, and the cabbage vegetable special. Every dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the care and quality in their food. Generous portions too--we left with a nice amount of leftovers to enjoy later. Bonus points for the awesome playlist they had going--it really added to the fun and upbeat vibe of the night. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

    Nothing--and I mean nothing--beats Mama Chan's. I genuinely catch myself dreaming about their sesame chicken at least once a week (no shame). Every time I walk through that door, I leave happier, fuller, and somehow more obsessed than the last time. The magic starts the second you step inside. The owner herself greets you like you are family, and the warmth in her welcome is unmatched. It's like walking into your own home, but with way better food and zero dishes to do. The rest of the staff is just as incredible, friendly and attentive. I recently brought some gluten-free friends here (who haven't been able to eat Chinese food in over five years), and their reaction was priceless. "Best meal we've ever had." That says everything. The fact that they offer delicious gluten-free options without sacrificing flavor is a total game-changer. Mama Chan's isn't just a restaurant it's an iconic experience that I recommend everyone try. You'll end up day (and night) dreaming about the food too

    Bird & Bao in Patchogue is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always…read moreconsistently amazing & the owner & staff are genuinely some of the nicest people. Every time I walk in, I feel like I'm being taken care of & it keeps me coming back way more often than I'd like to admit (I'm officially addicted). The Nashville hot chicken bao bun is my go to every single time. Perfectly crispy, spicy, flavorful, & just unreal in that soft bao bun. And the crispy brussel sprouts... honestly, they're to die for. I could three whole orders by myself without blinking. If you're anywhere near Patchogue & haven't tried Bird & Bao yet, you're missing out! I recommend it to everyone!!

    If you're in the village of Patchogue, then you have to try Bird and Baos. Looks can be deceiving…read morebecause I can't tell you how many times I drove past here and never gave them a shot. I made my journey to bird baos on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, and my stomach was craving some baos! I came across the man working the front, Tom. Tom was extremely friendly and the best part of our interaction was the fact that him and the owner worked together prior and came up with this masterpiece of an idea to open up shop In the heart of Patchogue. I started off with their popcorn chicken, so flavorful with a mega crunch! But you have to dip it in their house sauce! It's the cherry on top. The baos were moist and delicious especially when you dip them in their bao sauce. I got the 2 bao combo that came with 2 baos of your choice, fries and a soda. Their fries are probably the favorite, they're the perfect combination of peppery and salty! Both a plus! The first bao was their Nashville chicken. Sweet and savory chicken in their soft bao bun topped off with some pickles. Packed with flavor! Second i chose the sweet heat bao. Probably my favorite out of all of them haha! Even Tom told me I made a great decision haha! Sweet and savory chicken with their house garnish of carrot and cabbage! Oh myyyyy it was delightful, wish I ordered 3 of each! Wonderful experience, even greater ambiance. Come stop by after a long day or a day of drinking, which both you'll find the satisfaction at Bird and Bao.

    Excellent restaurant for Taiwanese style dishes. It feels more like a small family run restaurant…read more House soup 9/10 Their house soup is very well made, the flavors are fully absorbed into the soup, the meat is falling off the bone, and it tastes fresh. This is free with most orders so enjoy! Gua bao 8/10 Soft flavorful pork slices in light buns. They cover the pork in peanut powder so if you don't like peanut, bush it off or tell them ahead of time. Add a spicy sauce for an extra kick. Da lu mian 8/10 Healthy tasting mushroom soup. Lots of veggies, mainly mushrooms, no noodles, makes it a great alternative to meat. Lu Rou Fan 8/10 This is a little more inconsistent because sometimes it's amazing, super flavorful, savory and sweet. Other times it can be only OK. The egg is always fantastic though. The sauce and meat combination is what makes or breaks the dish flavor. Steamed veggie 8/10 Good quality fresh greens in stew sauce with bits of veggies in there. Bit pricey for greens but it's good and healthy.

    Came for lunch on a weekday with a friend. We ordered one appetizer (stinky tofu), two lunch bowls…read more(Lou Rou Fan & Taiwanese Sausage bento), plus a side order of fried pork chops. The good- plenty of meat in Lou Rou Fan, the texture of stinky tofu, the no tipping but bus your own tray business model. Friendliness of staff behind the ordering counter. The so-so: not enough fragrance in stinky tofu, the slightly soggy/oily pork chop, and lack of fragrance in Taiwanese sausage. The somewhat expensive price( our lunch costing $56 total). Will probably revisit another time to see how other dishes taste and see what price point it will result in.
