Solid choice! I have visited Mama Made more than a few times and have been happy with the service and the food. This time around, we ordered the basil chicken with veggies and the chicken Pad Thai. The chicken was tender, sauces were very flavorful and overall, quite tasty. They are very generous with their portions. I really love coming to Liberty Station and this stop is a treat. Getting delicious Thai quickly and sitting outside in the sunshine is just the best! I am smiling with the memory as I have returned to cold Michigan and looking forward to my next trip to SD.
Mama Made us located inside the Liberty Public Market. I love Thai food so I was very excited to come and try it! It's a small family owned spot, and food is made fresh upon ordering. My food was ready after about ten minutes. I got the Pad Thai with chicken, and oh I loved it! It was beautifully flavored and tasted so fresh! It was a good portion for me as well. My husband ordered the spicy fried rice with beef, and also really enjoyed it! I think we've found one of our new favorite Thai food spots!
Went to Liberty Station on a Saturday and had a craving for some Thai Food so went to Mama Made. Woman working the counter was super nice and when I ordered the fried rice I asked if she preferred the chicken or beef. She said she liked both but suggested the chicken. I went with her advice. Was VERY busy, but food didn't take too long. Food was super warm which was nice, but was kinda surprised at how bland the food was. The chicken had no flavor and there were a lot of bright white pieces that didn't have cook marks on them. I stuck to the cooked pieces and took a picture. They offer soy sauce and hot sauce so could flavor it up. I believe their noodle dishes are better and that is what most patrons were ordering so would stick to that.
Came here on a weekend and it was pretty packed. I was feeling some Thai food and this place was available. Located in the center of liberty public market they have great Thai food. I normally stick with what I like so I usually go for the pad see ew. Theirs is very tasty and it comes with some vegetables as well. Service was okay, the guy at the counter wasnt super friendly but that didn't deter me from getting the food. Good spot for Thai food.
I've been craving for pad see ew for a while and since I was here with my friends I decided to get dinner at the Liberty Station. I came in probably around 7 or 7:30 on a Saturday evening. There wasn't a line to order but there was a line to pick up. I ordered the Pad See Ew with Chicken ($13) and I probably waited about 15-20 minutes for my order. The station can get really crowded so it can be a bit cramped at the counter between the people who are waiting for their orders and those who are just trying to pass by the aisle. It was a decent amount of food since I was able to split it into two meals. I wish that there was a bit more seasoning on it though because I thought that the noodles were a bit bland and the chicken was dry. I definitely needed some water to pair with it. They had some packets of chili sauce on the side which helped add that kick of spice and flavor to it though. They did have a good mix of protein, vegetables, and noodles in the plate so there wasn't too much of a certain ingredient over the others. Overall I wasn't really impressed with the pad see ew I got here. If I'm back at the Liberty station I don't think that I will be getting Thai food from here again. It didn't even satisfy my craving for me and I'm left still wanting some more pad see ew.
This is probably one of my go-to spots in Liberty Station and have had a positive experience each time I've ordered from here. I usually stick to the pad see ew and this trip was no exception. I find that the prices here are decent for a good amount of food, they are relatively quick and they have a dairy-free taro boba tea option. Two things I do wish is: number one, that there was a spice leave to choose from, such as 1 or 2 stars. The only option is to add sriracha or other hot sauces. Number two, they would provide a pager thing so that you could walk around or find a seat while waiting for your food. Right now they only give you a number and the pick up area is rather narrow and crowded. Overall a good pick in my opinion.
I love this place! I got their pad see eww and basil fried rice. Perfect texture, right amount of spice. They do not have prik nim pla but have the generic hot sauce packet. yuck. Anyhow I was able to enjoy their dishes without any additional condiments. If I'm a local this would be my weekly must have dish! I placed the order and in 5 minutes the food was ready to be picked up. There were bar seats around this cafe so was able to devour the food while it was fresh.
I chose Mama Made because it's conveniently located across from Pasta Design where my daughter ordered her lunch. I chose Pad Thai with shrimp, medium heat. It took about 10 minutes to prepare. It came out steaming hot and cooked well (not overly wet and runny). The portion was generous with just enough shrimp. This is my usual starting point before trying other dishes. It was quite good and priced reasonably for food hall dining. I'll try other dishes the next time we're in the area.
Mama Made is a Thai restaurant inside the Liberty Station Public Market. They have been there since the inception of the public market. Honestly, it's a little bit hard to find them because their names and menu are slightly harder to see compared to other stores. I visited them a few times, but most recently I tried their woo Sen noodles. It's rare to find stir fried woo Sen noodles in a Thai restaurant. I ordered it with tofu. Although the dish looks simple, it was delicious! I remembered their pad see ew was pretty salty, but the woo Sen noodles were fine. I liked it and will definitely come back for it again. Don't overlook this little Thai restaurant inside the market. The owner may want to upgrade their menu and have some pictures or list out their popular items to make them more visible to the browsing customers.
Found some metal pieces in my Pad Thai. Almost choked on one of the pieces while eating and spit it out to my surprise it was a little metal piece and then looked into the Pad Thai I found an other piece. Really disappointed.
What a great little find. Non-descript and unpretentious. Great service. Great prices. Great food. This is some of the best Thai food we've had. Great flavor. And, the beef was tender and flavorful. The order came out quick, the very accurate. My wife eats gluten free and they easily accommodated her request. Give this place a try.
I was looking forward for my food as the look delicious on pictures. Much to my disappointment, it wasn't exactly what I imagined the food to be. I had the chicken wings, and they were hard as if they have been sitting for a while. And tasted pretty bland and hardly any flavor. They provided some sauce, maybe soy sauce, but my first bite of it was so bad, any sauce would not have changed my first impression. I also ordered the Appetizer Sampler and it was no different. The only thjng l was able to eat was the coconut shrimp . I ordered the Pad See Ew for my main dish, with tofu. This one is not bad, but still lacking some flavor. So my overall impression of their food was mediocre. Also,for a to go order, I would expect some napkins and utensils in the bag, but there were none of that. I definitely don't recommend this place.

Craving Thai food so decided to try this place. Food came out fairly quick. Flavors are decent but not the most authentic Thai food. Could've used more spice. Satisfied my craving. read more

Mama Made located inside Liberty Station Food Court open area. Parking is very ample at Liberty Station whether you choose to park along the street side or one of the many parking lots. Customer service was great and food was just as great! I ordered the Yellow Curry with Shrimp. Sauce flavor was spot on delicious! Next time I will definitely request no potatoes as they are alway cut so huge and are filler. The proportion they give from curry to rice is good and pricing is fair. If in Point Loma area and looking for good Thai eats...check out Mama Made. read more

I purchased a mixed vegetable meal with Shrimp yesterday, October 28th and the cashier was Alisa. The time was 5:26pm and I asked for shrimp and I asked if they were going to be fried. I mentioned I wanted shrimp a couple times. I get home and I look at my meal and I was charged for Shrimp and mixed vegetables but I have only mixed vegetables with no shrimp. read more

This place was okay. They are also located inside the bustling Liberty Station Market. This is another Americanized place due to it's location. I follow them on social media and their food always looks so good. The drunken noodles weren't that bad. Could be spicier but it was nice for people who aren't used to spiciness. The sampler appetizer was pretty good as well! It comes with a sweet and spicy sauce. read more
Stopped in the Liberty Public Market for something sweet! I was in the mood for a Thai tea and decided to try Mama Made. There was a bit of a line but went pretty quick. The person at the counter made my drink right there and handed it to me. It's was really good and creamy! The market was super hot that night so we ended up grabbing some tables outside and enjoyed our sweet treats! read more
Compared to other stalls at Liberty Public Market, Mama Made has some tasty yet reasonably priced and sized dishes. =ORDERED= We selected mild spice for both noodles and were given an estimated wait time of 10-15 minutes. They were packaged well and steaming hot. Neither dish was spicy and I'm practically a baby so I would ramp it up if you want to feel some heat. *Pad Thai with Chicken: had good amount of chicken but was a bit dry. Liked the peanuts but wanted some more bean sprouts and scallions. Heavy on the tamarind sauce so it was tangy, sweet and salty. *See Ew with Shrimp: loved the mouthfeel of the noodles and there was a ton of shrimp. Could have decreased the amount of dark soy sauce since it was too sweet and salty. Mama Made doesn't hold back on the portion sizes and I'm here for it. I was impressed by the sheer amount of noodles and big flavor. Although it was too salty for my preference, I appreciate the attempted seasoning. Thumbs up for this stall at Liberty Public Market. read more

Talk about choice overload, Liberty Public Market has so many choices for food but I eventually opted to stop at this Thai spot. The Basil Noodle w/Chicken had all the right flavors and ingredients except for the chicken. The chicken was so dry and not moist whatsoever. It's a shame because the overall dish was very flavorful with the basil and slight kick of spice, but I couldn't overlook the poorly cooked chicken. Had the chicken been juicy and tender, I would have given this a 5/5. But since the texture was such a let down, at most I'd give it would be a 3.5. Next time, I'd opt to check out another food stall. read more
Mama Made is one of the more tenured vendors at Liberty Public Market. They may have even been part of the original set of businesses, it has been that long. Their kitchen can crank out an impressive array of standard Thai cuisine dishes... curries, stir-fries, fried rice, noodles, soups. Some of the appetizers delved into Chinese food like Sesame Balls and Shumai. I stopped at the Market to check if any new stalls had opened. Some were under construction so new businesses will be popping up later this year. Mama Made was still operating at the time of my evening visit. I ordered the Basil Noodle (i.e. Drunken Noodle) with shrimp and a Mango Milk Tea. The food and drink were ready in about 10 minutes. The wide rice noodles were stir fried in a tamarind sauce with scrambled eggs, scallions, cilantro, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts added. The worker who staffed the register did not ask what spice level I wanted for the dish. What I received was around two on a scale of one to five. The portion size was okay for the price, however some of the noodles were clumped together. The staff could have done a better job in the preparation process of making sure the noodles were separated before the stir fry. The milk tea was heavy with ice which was my mistake as I should have requested light ice. The mango flavor was diluted as a result. The quality was not a good value for the $4 price. My dining experience was middle of the road average which led to a three star rating. read more

Spicy noodles with tofu was really good! Well seasoned, had scrabbled eggs and variety of veggies- bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, basil. Generous portion and came out quickly even during Friday night dinner rush. Skip the mango milk tea - it didn't taste right, Maybe not enough milk? Or just too sweet? read more

This was in liberty station so the only thing I can rate is the food. I ordered the pad Thai, and it came pretty quickly (under 8 minutes I think?). I don't get pad Thai too often so I don't have much to compare it to, but overall I thought it was pretty good. Noodles were a good texture, chicken was alright and the peanut sauce was delightful. They give quite a bit of food (I was unable to finish my meal), and honestly cost wasn't too bad for Liberty Station. Good job! read more
Fiancé was craving Thai food so we decided to try this restaurant inside of Liberty Public Market. We ordered the Kua Noodles with chicken ($11). This is essentially the wide rice noodles stir fried in a light brown gravy sauce with peas, carrots, bean sprouts, egg, scallion and onion. First bite, I thought it didn't taste authentic and had a very strong black pepper taste. But when you add the chili paste (had to ask for condiments separately), it made the noodle taste so much better! Overall wait for the noodle dish was 10 minutes and it was pipping hot when we picked our item up from the counter! Noodle taste great, just not authentic. I would give them another try next time I visit SD and try their pad Thai! read more
Always love trying new foods at Liberty Station so decided to try some Thai food. Ordered the Spicy Fried Rice and it was super delicious. I ordered it with beef and my only issue was that the beef was cooked interestingly, it was way too chewy and wasn't cut up well so I had to constantly take a pause and cut it up myself. The Spicy Fried Rice definitely has a strong kick to it so if you're hesitating about how spicy it'll be I would only recommend it if you love spicy foods. Portion was super big! When ordering I felt very rushed compared to my other experiences ordering at other booths in Liberty Station. The wait was about 10-15 minutes for the food, which is on the longer side but standard for most places in the same building. Military discount accepted on Mondays only. I would definitely come here again but wouldn't order a meat option for the Spicy Fried Rice again. read more

While perusing the food stalls of Liberty Station during my recent trip to SD, I stumbled upon Mama Made and was immediately enticed by the tasty Thai smells emanating from their tiny kitchen. Before I knew it, I was putting in my order for some Tom Kha soup and a side of rice. Soon my order was in hand and I headed to the market's outdoor seating area (stopping on the way, of course, to grab a beer to help wash down my lunch). I then dug into my soup and it was SO good. The Thai flavors were fresh and on point, and the side of rice helped cool off the extreme spiciness of my fave soup on the planet. I'd ordered 3 stars - I would probably just get 2 stars next time. But this didn't stop me from eating it! I wish we'd had more time in SD because I would have gone back to try their noodles. The customer next to me ordered some and they looked phenomenal! read more
