    Yummy yummy yummy fried chicken! Maybe it's because I'm partial to Asian-inspired flavors, but the fish sauce glaze fried chicken is the best! It's the only flavor I order, actually. I always get the house box which comes with 7 chicken wings, rice, pickled veggies and sauce! Staff is friendly, and they take orders quickly, but during lunch rush hours or promotions, the store can get packed! For the amount of customers though, I'd say they're pretty quick at pumping out completed orders. Parking, however, can be a nightmare at this location. My friend and I usually just park at the Asian Garden Mall and walk over! Overall, I do recommend coming here to try out their wings! They're delicious!

    I've been wanting to try Mama Hieu's for the longest time, and I finally did! The chicken wings were delicious fried to perfection in my opinion and they come with a side of rice, which made the meal even better. The service was great, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a small indoor dining area if you want to eat there. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back!

    Walked through the door and before I could even pretend to study the menu like a seasoned food critic, someone was already ready to take my order. That's the kind of efficiency I can get behind. The restaurant was clean, organized, and inviting, and the staff were friendly throughout my visit. Service was quick, and my food arrived without me having enough time to question all of my life choices. Now, let's talk about the main event: the wings. When my order arrived, I was optimistic. The wings looked like they had just finished a professional photo shoot. Crispy golden exterior? Check. Garlic and green onions sprinkled on top? Check. Fluffy garlic rice? Check. Sweet chili sauce standing by like a loyal sidekick? Check. Unfortunately, the flavor and I never quite shook hands. The wings and I spent time together, we just didn't find any chemistry! The wings didn't have that satisfying crunch and seemed to be observing a strict low-flavor lifestyle. They looked bold and adventurous but tasted surprisingly reserved. Then there was the garlic rice. Now, when I hear "garlic rice," I imagine garlic lovingly mixed throughout every grain, creating a harmonious relationship between rice and garlic. What I received was more of a rice-and-garlic long-distance relationship. The garlic was strategically gathered on top, so the flavor was pretty minimal. The pickled vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the sweet chili sauce ended up becoming the MVP of the meal! I came for garlic rice and flavor-packed wings. I left with good service, a clean restaurant, and a newfound appreciation for the sweet chili sauce!

    I was making it a habit in coming here when they started their weekly wednesday promos where $4 for 4 wings and then the following 2 weeks it was $8 for 8 wings. When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

    Chicken was crispy, juicy and packed with flavor - def up there with some of the best Vietnamese style fried chicken wings. We got the Garlic Butter Wings and the Fish Sauce Wings (similar to Bonchon/IYKYK) with a side of sweet potato fries which also was delicious. Service was great, food came out in a timely manner. Can't ask for more. Seating and Environment was highly appreciated as there was plenty to select from. Will def return if we are back in the area.

    Small place, but does a good business and kept orders moving. Visited with my cousin and husband today and were able to snag one of the two tables for four. Service was friendly and food was great. I especially enjoyed the garlic noodles and the hot chicken sandwich was bomb! They threw in an order of chicken legs because we had about a fifteen minute wait for the food and I thought that was a very nice gesture. Would definitely return next time I'm in the area.

    Mama Style Tots
    Thomas M.

    Picked up Mama Hieu's for dinner and it did not disappoint! The staff were friendly and had many suggestions of what to try. The store is cozy and nicely decorated. I ordered the Box of Original Garlic Butter Chicken, and a side of Mama's Style Tater Tots. The chicken portion was generous (7 pieces), with delicious breading and dipping sauces. You have to ask for the sauce, so don't forget! The tots were hot crispy, with wonderful toppings. Will be back to try the garlic noodles. Enjoy!

    This is how 50 pieces half and half is packaged.  Excellent.  Impressed at the size of the wings.  (larger than normal)

    Craving Mama's again only 15 days since my first try of the Garlic Shrimp. It's still amazing, but the SPICY is a bit too much for me and if you know me... I LOVE GARLIC. The breading on the spicy seemed thicker and not as appealing and the garlic sauce was way overkill. I had to peel off the breading this time and there was a lot of wasted sauce on the bottom of my to go container. Half the amount would have qualified IMO as "spicy"... Even though I'm a garlic LOVER, I prefer the regular over the spicy...

    Crispy & delicious. The neon sign gave it a yellow hue. | Box Original Garlic Butter & Spicy Garlic Butter

    Step aside American and Korean-style wings, it's time to try Vietnamese-style wings! We went on a Sunday at around 1pm. Like the limited parking in the front, the shop was packed! It's a casual dining area with many occupied tables. We were lucky to snatch a table to sit after ordering at the register. Despite being busy, it didn't take too long for our number to be called. We ordered the box with half original garlic butter and half spicy garlic butter wings, which came with two generous scoops of rice. Both flavors had a Vietnamese-inspired dry rub where the spices really stood out. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy and meaty in the inside. They were very garlicky, so be prepared. Both had a garlic butter base, but the spicy wings had a slightly different flavor with a nice kick that left a lingering tingle on your lips. We also ordered the garlic noodles, which felt more like a rich, cheesy pasta than traditional noodles. The thicker noodles were heavily coated and a bit heavy. The garlic flavor was strong and somewhat overpowering. The taste was decent, but the texture was not my favorite. Overall, it was a solid meal, and I would come back to try other flavors (fish sauce and salted egg yolk). I also saw someone eating the hot chicken sandwich and that looked delicious!

    Garlic noodles
    Krista K.

    Spicy Garlic & Salted Egg Yolk- Preferred spicy garlic over the salted egg yolk. If you really like salted egg yolk then I would recommend it. Garlic noodles- One of the best garlic noodles. The cheese on top made the dish so good. It is heavy if you were to eat all of it.

    Visited today for the chicken wing box they have five different flavors. It's very good definitely a must try if you're a fan of Vietnamese style fried chicken with the rice powder or a fan of chicken wings give it a shot. If you're in little Saigon, you won't be disappointed I was greeted by a friendly staff member who explained to me all the latest specials and the most popular flavors I like it when the staff is connected to the menu and what they do. Restaurant has sit down dining room not a lot of tables but enough for the space that they have place is clean with music in the dining room great little spot.

    Garlic chicken wings, and garlic noodles

    This place was amazing !!! Listen to me y'all. You could smell this food from across the street on the corner. Now the parking is.. limited at best. When you see a parking spot open, you gotta jump in it fast like double Dutch with the jump rope. There is not a lot of seating so I would recommend to take your food to go. The ladies at the front were extremely nice in taking care of me! I needed 100 garlic chicken wings for my daughter's sixth birthday party and boy did they come in clutch. I also ordered a plate of the garlic noodles, and that almost went as fast as the chicken. I WILL be stopping by here at least once a month. If you're in the mood for some Vietnamese chicken wings, please come through and check this spot out!!!

    Mama Hieu's is a small casual Vietnamese restaurant in Westminster. It's not a big restaurant and has seating for about 30 guests. They're known for their crispy chicken wings with Vietnamese flavor influences but have other offerings like noodles and sandwiches. We previously ordered party trays from here and loved the food so we wanted to come eat at the restaurant. We ordered the original garlic butter, spicy garlic butter, salted egg yolk, and fish glazed chicken wings. We also ordered the mama style fries ($8) and spicy garlic shrimp noodles ($15). Of the chicken wings flavors, my favorite was the spicy garlic butter. The wings were crispy and I liked that they were full-sized wings and not the tiny ones you might see elsewhere. The fries were on the sweeter side due to the mama sauce and I think it could've benefited from something spicy or sour like pickled jalapeños or pickled onions. Some meat might've been welcomed too. We loved the garlic noodles and its buttery-ness. Overall everything was great and had strong flavors. The prices were actually pretty reasonable and I can see why they have such long lines.

    How big is garlic noodle tray?? How many does it feed?

    Around 10-15 people

    Is your fried chicken gluten free?

    Do they have boneless?

    All bone in wings.

    Is there an a la carte wing option?

    Minimum 5 wings though.

    How far in advance do we need to order a party tray? Thank you

    Best if you can order a couple days ahead of time, however I think 1 day in advance is ok. I'm answering from previous orders I've made. However, during Super Bowl they were taking orders a month ahead.

    What the current methods of payments accepted @ the new 9090 Bolsa location?

    Do your chicken wings have eggs in them?

    Yes our product does contain eggs in them.

    Can we eat in? Take out only?

    Only take out, it's a phone order then set a time for pick up. It's homemade food made in her kitchen and there's no place to eat in.

    I'm allergic to seed oils. What kind of oil do you use? Also is the chicken breaded at all?

    We use canola frying oil. Our chicken in lightly breaded. It’s also gluten free

    Do they have delivery service?

    Yes but a private one place an order on insta (dm them) and then schedule a delivery time :) or I think you could just call the number then place the order from there :)… Read more
