When an establishment gets the "people love us" acknowledgement from Yelp... you have to listen. Mama Le received that in 2024 and I never got to visit...until now. I was taking a loved one to the hospital and was starrrrving. I didn't want to eat at the hospital cafeteria, so I got in my car and ventured to see what was around the area. Immediately, I looked over and saw Mama Le. When I entered, I was met with a warm smile and a staff member, Amara, who was able to help me pick the best thing on the menu (based on what I can eat). She was incredibly helpful. I also wanted a drink because the pictures on the outside of the building alll looked so delicious. I ended up ordering the lemongrass beef with rice and also the slushie with passion fruit. My goodness. My my my my my. Complete tens across the board. The beautifully seasoned and tender beef, the delicious onions and peppers and the incredible aromatic waft that hits your nose upon every bite. It was a truly remarkable dish. "Spicy lemongrass onion beef"!!!!!!! And I'm a sucker for passion fruit anything and this absolutely did not miss the mark. So good so good. Sweet, satisfying, and fresh. The most delicious blend of the fruit with the mint. "Passion attractions"!!!!! Yep... Yelp. You got it right. Mama Le is THAT girl. read more

This place is a must try. When the waitress brought the food to the table, the aroma was incredible! Each of the rice dishes the family ordered, smelled so good. Honestly, I never thought to try fried chicken from a Vietnamese place, especially with fish sauce on it. The waitress said it is pretty popular, so I gave it a try. The fried chicken didn't have your typical floured batter, instead it was a marinated chicken leg and thigh, that was fried to be extra crispy, with a layer of fish sauce glaze that was probably the aroma I smelt. It was something I have never tasted before, and it was so delicious. It was a little salty, but that is what the rice, cucumbers and tomatoes are for, to help cut the saltiness. My younger kids order the chicken pho and salmon. The chicken pho was good. I snuck a little sip of the soup and it was a nice clean chicken pho soup. As for the salmon, I took a small bite and that was delicious. Okay, my kid ordered it well done (a crime), but it came out crispy on all sides. I don't know what was the seasoning on it, but it had a lot of flavor. There were a decent amount of vegetarian choices. My wife ordered the shaken tofu. She liked it, but it would be better if there were other veggies instead of peppers and onions. The second time we went, she got the tofu with vegetables, which wasn't as good as the shaken tofu. The ginger garlic sauce was good, but it was mainly tofu and cabbage. It is a small place, next to Memorial Herman Sugar Land. With all the construction going on, it could be easily missed. read more

Mama Le - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Stopped in on a road trip for a light snack but that is impossible because everything on the menu sounded amazing. We ordered a beef pho which was light but savory and the perfect level of salty. The chicken wings were covered in fish sauce which I haven't seen before. They were perfectly cooked, soft and crisp. I added some sriracha for some heat. Calamari were giant and chewy without being rubbery. However, They were not spicy as advertised. I had the beef banh mi which was divine. The pate and mayo worked to create a fatty, creamy, savory experience reminiscent of an elevated cheeseburger or cheese steak. The bun was fluffy and the crust chewy. The bubble waffle is definitely worth a try. Service was fantastic. Maylin was super friendly and attentive. Dining room was clean and modern. Bathroom was clean. They had a little seat in there. I don't know what it was for but it came in handy and now I'm angry they are not in every bathroom. 100% recommend read more

Always courteous always kind. Food is wonderful restaurant ambience is awesome. Highly recommend food and service.

This is the least desirable of all the Vietnamese food I have tried. I love Banh Mi sandwiches and have liked them everywhere BUT this place. It grossed me out actually. The pate is absolutely disgusting. I tried to wipe it off, and continued eating but I smelled a fishy smell and realized it was the pate! It tastes like what I imagine cat food tasting like. My fingers smelled like fish. I could not continue eating it. And it wasn't just the pate; the sandwich wasn't the greatest either, even without the pate. The egg rolls were decent, not the best I've had. It was filled too much with ground pork, and not enough vegetables. The sauce it came with was flavored water, basically. No substance to it, very watery, with very little flavor. Mango smoothie was good, not my favorite but would get it again. Would not eat here again, but might stop for a smoothie. Service was surprisingly nice. *UPDATE (later that evening) I had left my closed bag of food on the table while I played on my phone. I started to smell rotten garbage. Eventually I realized it was the bag of food. It smelled awful. *UPDATE (middle of the night) My stomach is officially screwed up over this sandwich. I'm dying. I won't survive the hour long drive to work. read more

MamaLemian Rhapsody by Banh Xeo Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ Mama Le, I just fed a man, Put a Banh Mi against his head, Squeezed the pastry, now he's fed, Mama Le, Dinner had just begun, And now I've gone and given it all away, Mama Le, oooooo, Didn't mean to share my food, If I'm not back in here again tomorrow, Carry on, order lunch, Cause Viet Coffees matter. Too late, my food has come This Shaken Beef is mine, and I get it all the time Goodbye, Viet Coffee, you've got to go Gotta drink it all in new world record time I see a little silhouetto of a drink, is it mine, is it mine? Does it have the small boba? Drinks are so delighting, gone so fast it's frightening me! Mama-Leo (Mama-Leo) Mama-Le oh let me know Magnifico! Easy come easy go will you share your Pho! (BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT SHARE OUR PHO) Share your Pho! (WE WILL NOT SHARE OUR PHO) Beelzebub, has the devil bought a drink for me? For me? Barbi? (guitar rock out) This is one of the best places we've ever eaten and their Cafe Sua Da aka Viet Iced Coffee is second to none. I always save the review of the best place to post last, and "the best place" doesn't come close to describing just how limitlessly and exuberantly much we love Mama Le's food, drinks and owners, in every way a place can be loved. Mama Le. Barbi Bae's fave restaurant in all of Houston, for both food and drinks, so I wrote a rap about her and her ideal trip to the suburbs. So let me tell a story about a girl named BAE I was at a strip club (she works there by the WAY) Dancing to Offspring's Come Out And PLAY And How To Save A Life by the god damn FRAY She looks so good, all the boys start to PRAY Little do they know they're just her PREY And when she does that move where she drops and does the SPLAY She makes every patron give their money aWAY She leaves the stage and leaves the men in disarRAY She rocks my world, on stage she can SLAY And I wanna get her dinner cuz it's her bDAY I say I'll take her anywhere, however far aWAY But I already know what my Bae's gonna SAY So we go out for a dinner SOIREE And head southwest on the Southwest FreeWAY To her fave place, a little family spot named MAMA LE! To find out what happens after dinner, read the end of the rap at the end of this review! So more about Mama Le. What to order? Any fruit drinks, the Viet Coffee, and the Shaken Beef are my faves - but we've tried 20 other things here and each and every item was mesmerizingly delicious! it's a small local hidden gem with magically superb owners, down by Richmond, that has some of the best drinks and food in all of Texas. If you're not convinced yet, read on. We couldn't believe how dreamily delicious and tender and perfectly flavoured the Shaken Beef is (I was shaken, as literally as the beef had been), as well as all of their other signature and standout dishes and snacks. We're big into drinks more than anything, and these are easily the best you'll find in Sugar Land, in fact some of the tastiest and most original and unique and dreamy in all of Texas. We'd drive a long, long way for Mama Le, so we're lucky it's only half an hour (in normal traffic, rather than ughgoddamnithouston traffic) from our house. This is a place that you shouldn't miss. We became regulars from the first sip and the first bite, and always will be. These days if anyone says "Sugar Land", Mama Le is the first recommendation that comes out of my mouth (even if I'm not asked for one) (no, don't ask about what goes into my mouth). Their drinks and sandwiches are magnificent and their Vietnamese and Asian Fusion food is spectacular. Easily one of the best places you will find in any of the Houston suburbs. One of my favourite spots in Texas, with perhaps the warmest, most instant-friends-for-life owners you could ever wish to do business with. The staff they hire are wonderful, too. I often gush in my reviews, but if you didn't notice, this place makes me extra-gooey-gush, as in Barbi when she's in a very frisky mood sort of gush. If you only visit one place in Sugar Land, visit Mama Le. They deserve all the success in the world and you'll love everything here. After dinner things get a little risQUE As she tells me which kinda guy I should porTRAY And we engage in a little forePLAY Doing every single naughty cliCHE Then she starts to whip me and demands that I NEIGH Like Katy Perry she says she's my bufFET After appetizers then she feeds me my enTREE Most girls are steak, Bae's the Mignon FiLET (sorry Hailee Steinfeld) Forget basic lame vanilla Christian GRAY That's about as thrilling as knitting and croCHET (in joke) She's the only girl that could make me GAY (well not the only) Make my bum feel like the Katy FreeWAY I'm all over her like chicks are with Axe Body SPRAY I guess I'm lucky that I'm a very good LAY She is to me what Marley was to REGGAE And I eat Shaken Beef for her, and not just from MAMA LE WHAT read more

Had lunch here with my family. I ordered the spicy seafood noodle. I had to wait 18 minutes to get my food due to the lunch hour rush but at least the water came quickly. The vegetables for the noodles were very fresh and healthy. Never saw such large bean sprouts and big cilantro leaves. The noodle broth had a scent and taste pretty much like the bun bo Hue. It was flavorful and good. The noodles were snappy. Only negative was that there could be a little more noodles. This is from a guy who's been trying to cut back on carbs. I had a lot of veggies and broth left when I ran out of noodles and the meal felt incomplete, so I threw in some stir fried egg noodles from my daughter's plate. My wife had the fried fish sauce chicken, and she loved it. She said it was well seasoned and had a good lemon grass scent. All in all, a good meal and will return to try other dishes. read more

These are definitely the smallest "large" pho's I've ever seen. $15 each. They were less than half full. Also, it was packed so one of the broths tipped over and spilled in the bag. No bean sprouts in the order either. I'll stick to the Pho Shack. Never should have changed it up. lol read more

Had done excellent lemongrass chicken curry from here and now I'm stuck craving for more. I wish I'd taken a photo of it for everyone to see The lemongrass flavour was perfectly portioned, with loads of well cooked chicken. The curry wasn't too run nor too thick - it was a good combination of the curry ingredients with the liquid portions. It stayed well for the next day. I've had other food from here, but this has been my absolute favourite dish so far! Highly recommend it - great for having at home. read more

Yoooo! I think I found a new regular lunch hangout. Mama Le made me a believer. I came here for lunch with a friend since it's close to where we both work. I've been sleeping on Mama Le! Please don't be mad Mama, I'm a fan now! The parking lot is roomy with plenty of parking and plenty of space for me to back in park like I like to. The outside of the restaurant looks very nice and modern. Same in the inside. Nice decorations on the wall displaying Vietnamese culture. Vietnamese music playing as well. The hostess/ waitress greeted us upon entering and promptly brought us a menu and water. I'm not going to lie. I wanted to order an old favorite for me like Bún bò Huế, Bò né or Bò kho, maybe even bánh mì. Instead I decided to try something different. Now there was a slight mixup on my plate as I ordered Đậu Hủ Xào Sả Ớt or Tofu With Chili & Lemon Grass and I ended up getting Bò Xào Sả Ớt or Spicy Lemongrass Onion Beef. Ironically, I wasn't even practicing my Tiếng Việt this time. I'll tell you right now, I'm not mad at them at all. Maybe they knew what I needed better than I did because the Bò Xào Sả Ớt was on point! It had just the right amount of spice and heat. I know when my nose starts running but I haven't started crying yet, I'm in my zone. The beef was tender. The veggies were fresh. I don't even eat a ton of rice but I ate all that rice. I could see my reflection in my plate when I was done. In all my excitement, I forgot to mention the appetizers. Fried calamari that looked like onion rings and tasted great. Crispy tofu that was completely crispy on the outside but so soft on the inside. I wonder if they make a spicy version? My friend ordered the Salmon Chiên or Fried Salmon. It looked delicious and they said it was. I'm definitely ordering that at some point. I didn't tell the waitress about the mixup until I went to pay. She was apologetic but I assured her it was more than okay. I enjoyed what I got and I eat both meat and vegetable based dishes, so no harm. I gotta come back to this place and after telling a few other friends about it, they do to. Looking forward to my next visit already. read more

My wife was next door at Memorial Hermann hospital for a couple of weeks and had take out here four times during that stay as I slept at the hospital. The service was great. The kid who works the register with the black framed glasses took care of my order every time I was there. He was super nice and very accommodating. After the first time in he made sure my orders came with the extras I needed. As for the food, I ordered something two items each trip along with an appetizer. Every single thing I ordered I would order again. The flavors were amazing in all of them. Thank you for the great food while we were there. I wish they would open a place in Montana. read more

Hubby and I have lived in the area a while now but haven't visited because of the pricing. My husband and his family are Vietnamese, and his parents are amazing cooks. So, if they aren't feeding us, we have a few spots in Chinatown that we enjoy. Anyway, that's all to explain why we haven't tried this spot until now, and boy am I sad we've missed out! We stopped in for a late-night dinner tonight around 8:15. The atmosphere is very nice- modern decor with Asian influences, and you can tell it's very well kept. There weren't any others dining in at the time, but several people came in for pick up orders. Service was quick and attentive for our visit. The menu is full of Vietnamese dishes we often eat, so we were excited to try a few. The spring rolls (not pictures because they were DEVOURED) are so amazing!! We ordered the traditional meat - pork belly and shrimp. They where thick and full of fresh veggies. The peanut sauce was yummy too, but it's the flavors in the spring rolls that will have me order them again! I ordered a house vermicelli bowl that comes with an egg roll and grilled pork. The vegetables are so fresh and the flavors in the bowl just worked so well together, and I was definitely happy with my choice. (Plus I have leftovers, so yay second meal haha). Hubby ordered the shaken beef, and let me tell you... the flavors in that dish have me craving more already! He got his rare (definitely recommend rare or medium), and it was so delish, the salt and pepper and lime dipping sauce wasn't needed. But it makes it EVEN BETTER- if you can believe that's possible! Top two of the shaking beef we've eaten, for sure. We also ordered a taro potion smoothie with boba, and it was amazingness too! Hubby has been on a taro smoothie lately, and we both enjoyed the boba. It was fresh and warm, sweet and chewy the right amount.. sooo yummy! read more
