Who knew I'd find comforting Vietnamese food across from the Speedway! I had just flown into Daytona Beach and, after settling into my hotel room, I came to Mama's Kitchen for dinner. Right away, we were greeted by a young lady and gentleman, and were directed to sit at one of the tables. The restaurant was clean and spacious. They had a cute little Vietnamese cart in the middle of the restaurant to bring a bit of Vietnam into its design. They also had a wall with a beautiful drawing. We ordered a few things from their menu, starting off with egg rolls and Bahn Mi with sweet potato fries. Whatever dip it came with was delicious - and that's coming from someone who doesn't like the orange sweet potatoes! We also ordered entrees such as their Bo Kho and Bo Ne. Both stews were delicious. For drinks, we had a Tamarind drink and a Kumquat drink - both of which were refreshing. Overall, I really liked the food here. And the decor was simple and the service was attentive. The gentleman who brought our food out was also very careful with making sure there were no peanuts in any of our dishes. I'd love to come back here again on my next visit and try a new dish! read more

Ate at this restaurant during September 2026 on a weekend during the dinner hour. The business was not very busy at the time. My wife ordered the "Pho Mama" and I ordered the "Bo Ne". We did not order any beverages other than water. The service was very slow and I almost got up to remind our server that we had ordered food and were still waiting. I sampled my wife's pho and found it had a good flavor. The tendon and tripe were over cooked and a bit mushy. The other meats were cooked ok. The plate of condiments (bean sprouts, basil and peppers) were very skippy. At $18, I felt the Pho needed to be better. At $20, the Bo Ne lacked in a few areas and following this dining experience I probably wouldn't order it again. First off, I ordered this dish because it looked good and from the picture. On the menu it says "Vietnamese beef tenderloin" on the menu. The dish I was served looked much different than what I saw on the menu. The pickled carrots and radish must of had the day off on this night. Back to the tenderloin. In my years as a chef, I will tell you that there is only one piece of meat that is more tender than any other cut of meat from the cow and that is the tenderloin. What was served me was closer related to a tough cut or sirloin that tightened up so much when cooked, that every piece of meat I had to chew and chew to get past the grizzle. Once chewed, I needed to remove the meat from my mouth. See picture of the bread basket for the remnants of their so called beef tenderloin. The sauce that the meat was swimming in had a good taste. The liver pate was bland and was melting away into the sauce of the dish. One positive note about the experience is that the bread was superb! We may go back again sometime in the future but not any time soon. read more

The food was amazing! I'm from California and have been trying to find a good pho place and am so glad I tried this one. I got Thai tea as well and that was the perfect sweet and not too heavy like a lot of places do. The restaurant was very clean when I came in and since I was sitting alone, a lot of restaurants give a little attitude over it but they were very welcoming and set me right up. My server and the lovely lady that brought out my food were phenomenal, constantly checking in on me and lmk that if I want to sub something it's no worry at all for next time. Which there will definitely be a next time -- probably way too soon. read more

Mama’s Kitchen - M1. Bun Thit Nuong (vermicelli noodle) C2. Thai Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Best Pho in Daytona Beach I always go out of my way to go to this Pho restaurant. It's worth it.

I just happened in here on my way to the beach to go surf and very glad I did. I love quality Viet food--but so much in Florida (aside from Orlando) is lackluster. This is different, this is the real deal. You look at their menu and know it's legit at once--then there are the desserts which are also legit and remarkably so--very welcome. My bun bowl with skewered grilled pork and spring roll was absolutely perfect. Like, it seriously could not have been any better. Adrian, my waiter, was also excellent. My only critique--and it may seem a petty one--is the music was banal, trite, American and British pop hits from the early 2000s. There is so much good Viet pop and other Asian music--K-pop if nothing else--they could play, so why this? I don't want to hear the same music Kohl's plays at a restaurant so magical and delicious. But aside from the bad choice of tunes, this is a gem in full. read more

The name is actually Mama's Pho and it was changed quite a while back! Our 2nd visit to Mama's Pho. Anyway, our first visit was about 6 months ago. Our first visit we had Ashlynn F as our server. We struck up a conversation with her on the first visit and found her to be friendly, professional and knew everything about the food and restaurant. So, as we drove over for our second visit we hoped Ashlynn would be there again. Well, our wish came true and we were greeted by Ashlynn when we walked through the doors. Not only did Ashlynn remember us, where we sat on our first visit but also what we ordered the first time!! Anyway if you want great food, great service and some drinks, with or without alcohol, give Mama's Pho a go and we don't think you'll be disappointed. See you next time Ashlynn read more

I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered from Mama's kitchen. The ingredients are consistently fresh, the food is delicious, and it is prepared with care. It often looks so pretty that I have to snap a pic! I am a creature of habit so sometimes I order what I'm familiar with and know I like, but I've been having fun trying new menu items when I order from here because I trust them to be as good as the rest of the food I've tried. read more

4.5 stars. I had a coupon, so I decided to check it out. I really did not know of a good place for pho in Volusia County, but I think I just discovered one. Although slightly on the pricey side for the portion size, the food is high-quality with an authentic taste. I am a vegetarian, and I saw only one vegetarian option on the menu. When I asked our server (who it seemed may have also been the owner), he pointed out 4 or 5 things he could make vegetarian for me with tofu. We got summer rolls made with crispy tofu, basil, and a yummy peanut sauce for dipping. I got a delicious vermicelli noodle dish with fried tofu, marinated sautéed mushrooms, and plenty of fresh veggies. Delish! My husband said the pho was spot-on although the portion size was slightly on the small side. They had a house-made spicy sauce to put in the pho that really made it a step above. My only real complaint is that they kept playing the same two songs over and over in the background. I will come back again. read more

I was SO excited to try but being let down isn't even the correct term for what happened. The food and service was amazing but we found a ROACH in our pho!!!! I called the Florida department of health and they said this restaurant has "more dead roaches than they've ever seen" and will possibly get shut down. If you eat here, good luck read more

I was in town for Daytona Bike Week and looking for a dinner that wasnt fried. Pho sounded perfect. Im picky about my pho. The broth in particular needs to be rich, flavorful, complex, full bodied. I chose the pho with oxtail and it met every factor of yum. I added the basil, bean sprout, hoisin and a good measure of hot sauce. It was the best meal of the rally. By far. read more

Looking for a fresh dinner during the 24 Hours of Daytona race. The restaurant was nice and clean, and the servers were positive but a bit overwhelmed with the number of people. The pho was good, but lacked the typical star anise and cardamon seasoning that makes the flavor shine. It still hit the spot and the beef and noodles were on point read more

Yummy! Papaya salad, pork skewers, and spring rolls. Bonus as most items were mostly low-carb read more

Best pho I've ever had! If you're looking for an AMAZING Vietnamese restaurant, this is the one to go to. Amazing service! Server Ashlyn was very friendly and gave us great suggestions, she was so sweet and offered to box our noodles. I recommend a small if you usually don't eat a lot, their smalls are still very big! I had a chicken based pho and my partner had a beef based pho. We also had some wonderful egg rolls that aren't pictured but are definitely the best in town. I usually don't like softer noodles (just a personal preference) but these were superrrr good. I also usually hate chili oil but their's was top tier!! read more

Mama’s Kitchen - P3. Pho Ga Small (chicken soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

While Christmas shopping my partner discovered a Vietnamese Restuarant on International Speedway Blvd. Since the area is really void of any really good Asian cousine we decided to stop by for lunch. And we're really happy that we did. Mama's Kitchen features what we would consider Fusion Vietnamese cooking which is not a bad thing. Even though it was lunchtime the place was empty. And the dining room is surrounded by televisions on both sides of the place. That said, we were seated immediately and discovered the culinary passions of the place. We started off with the Spring Rolls. A standard Vietnamese appitizer these rolls consisted of prawns, pork, vermilelli noodles, wrapped in lettuce and rolled in rice paper accompanied by a very tasty peanut sauce. What differenciated these rolls from the ones that you can get from other Vietnamese places is that they were really fresh; the lettuce was crunchy fresh. A lot of places usually have these premade, but these were reallt fresh. The entrees were really good too. The winner was Bun Thit Nuong; which consisted of grilled 5 - spice pork, over vermicelli noodles that was served with an eggroll. The other dish; Com Chien was less spectacular consisting of fried rice with seafood, baby shrimp scallups, in a garlic butter sauce. It was basically a seafood fried rice. We both liked the place and it certainly filled us up. The only negative was the price. For $50 for lunch it is more reflective of the times that we live in but we did see a couple of people look over the menu and price and walk out. The food was good as well as our server. To be honest, it is one of the better Vietnamese places in the area, but nothing like Ah Hong in Orlando which we always go to when traveling down to Disney. But if you're in Daytona Beach, Mama's Kitchen is well worth checking out. read more

I am from out of state but we have a vacation home here, and I try to come here each time I visit. I am Asian and always on the hunt for good Asian food, and this is in the top 3 best pho broths I have ever had in my life. The flavor is absolutely perfect every single time, and I also really like that you can choose from thick or thin noodles - that's not an option I've ever seen before. We've always had very nice servers here as well! One of my favorite places in DB for sure, and beats all of the other local pho places by miles. read more

I was looking for Vietnamese vegetarian options at Mama's Kitchen and found pho rao. The pho rao has a clear vegetable broth with carrots and cabbage and tofu (I asked them to prepare it without onions.). I added bean spouts, jalapeños, and lime from the fresh condiment plate. The soup was flavorful hearty with plenty of vegetables. To my surprise, the pho rao does not have rice noodles, but the large size bowl was very filling. I also got the seafood fried rice to share at the table and a Thai tea. The fried rice came out first and was devoured in minutes. The Thai tea was refreshing and cold. Make sure to stir the condensed milk! Our server was fun and energetic. The restaurant was clean and well kept. The dining area is open and nicely decorated. There are large screen TV's on one side of the room. There was plenty of parking on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is located directly across the Daytona Speedway. read more

My daughter and I, we were very excited that we found the another Pho that we so enjoyed to eat that we know we were so disappointed. We ordered to go the soup and we paid for the large and the bouillon was just a little bit more than a half of the container. Chicken was not cooked through. And the spring rolls were absolutely horrible. I will never go back there again as long as I live and I will not recommend anybody to go there after paying $25 for the food that I did not enjoy, I'm extremely disappointed read more

best vietnamese fusion restaurant in the whole of the daytona area, in my opinion.

I just cannot say it enough, this is the best viet asian fusion restaurant in the whole of the daytona area, great place to come to on a rainy day or after a long day at the beach, i always get the Bo Kho with bread and the Com Ga Toi. if you're lookin for a good place to bring your family, this is the one! read more

I did a Google search for a Vietnamese restaurant while in Daytona. I chose this one because of the name. Great choice! The beef pho was fantastic. That was some of the the best broth I have ever had. The next time I would ask for the thinner noodles instead of the Thai noodles. That is only a personal preference though. The pho was amazing. We also had egg rolls. They were nice and crispy. We were all impressed with how clean the place is and the service was wonderful. We will be going back to Daytona for sure. It is located in the same parking lot as Carrabba's. read more

Our first time here at the restaurant after a fun stroll around Daytona Beach-- wonderful staff and authentic vietnamese food! This specialty fruit drink is very reminiscent of Vietnamese street drink that I tried in Vietnam and have not been able to find anywhere else in Daytona- it's semi sweet and salty. The store is very spacious and decked out with many TV screens to enjoy sports and entertainment. Wonderful ambience. 10/10 would definitely come here again! read more

Nice clean, well decorated restaurant, looks bigger from the outside. Visited for lunch to try the Vietnamese food. Very limited menu and no lunch specials. Eclectic menu for sure which left me puzzled on what their point of view is.. chicken wings, cheesy garlic bread, pho, seafood boils $$$$$. One item only if vegetarian or vegan- Pho. Thus the three stars and not more. If you like pork this might be a good option for you. Waitress was very new so had to ask if the pho broth was vegan for the one item I could eat. She said it was, lacked depth of flavor even after adding the siracha and hoisin sauce. Loved the Chinese broccoli pieces in it and the rice noodle of choice plus some nice jalapeños, tofu tasted sour. I eat A LOT of tofu and something just wasn't right. Kind service with a smile. I hope they do well in Daytona and could be a nice option for those that enjoy pork or possible seafood boils. Loved the touch free checkout-wish more places would move to this here in the US-very common in other countries. read more

My low ratings is because 1 star for exceptional service by our one waitress who did a wonderful job tending to our large party of 14/half kids and half adults. She deserves a raise! She had maybe an Aussie accent. And the 2nd star was for ambiance and food presentation. It was a nice location. As for flavors, I could not give it any star ratings because we were all very disappointed. We just sucked it up and ate it all because our bill was over $400. The pho broth tasted like it was from instant package, we asked for fish sauce and basically drowned our broth with siracha, hoisin and lime to give it more flavors. The seafood boil was the most expensive & had no flavors, seafood was boiled and bland even with the house special sauce was lightly drenched. Had to request for more sauce on the side just to dip the seafood. Oh and the banh mi sandwiches...so disappointing...literally bread was dried and meat lacked flavors. All together...everything we ordered lacked flavor. Such a costly meal and sadly I don't recommend it. Mainly my biggest complaint is the flavor and that's the most important. The steak dish was good but my son got literally 4 slices of beef for $20 or so....bummer! Was really looking forward to give it a great review but I'm sorry if I sound harsh...I would revisit the recipes and revamp the flavors to intensify it. read more
