We've been wanting to try Mamahuhu and so glad we made the trip to Mill Valley to do so. We ordered the Mushroom Mapo Tofu, Sweet & Sour Chicken (the standout dish!), and Jade Fried Rice, and every dish impressed. The Sweet & Sour Chicken was the highlight--perfectly crispy with a glossy sauce that struck a great balance between sweet and tangy. The addition of pineapple, bell peppers, and onions kept every bite fresh without overpowering the chicken. The Mushroom Mapo Tofu was rich, deeply savory, and packed with silky tofu in a beautifully spicy, numbing sauce. The mushrooms added great texture, and the generous sprinkle of crispy black beans and scallions on top made it even better. The Jade Fried Rice was a great supporting dish--light, flavorful, and studded with egg, greens, and bits of meat without feeling greasy. The portions were generous and perfect for two people to share. They also offer rice plate combinations, but we opted for individual entrées and were glad we did since it let us try more dishes. The restaurant itself is casual, cute, and very clean, making it a comfortable spot for lunch or dinner. Excellent food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere--we'll definitely be back. read more

Food was great But the new manager Alicia seems to be suffering from a serious case of "main character syndrome." Everything was fine until one specific interaction flipped the vibe completely. The attitude came out fast -- and hearing a manager call a 40+ year-old customer "dude" during a disagreement was... a choice. If that's the customer service direction moving forward, good luck to them. read more

I've been wanting to try Mamahuhu since it first opened and finally got a chance the other night. I opted for the Crunchy cabbage salad with chicken and it was delicious. The braised chicken was soft and tender and the dressing was bursting with flavor. It's a unique space that's better suited for lunch or take-out IMO. Fast service and great food mean I'll definitely be back again soon! read more

We decided to try Mamahuhu for the first time after our hiking trip at Muir Woods National Monument. After a 4-hour hike, we were definitely ready for a good meal. We ordered three dishes, a large bowl of jasmine rice, and one kids meal for our party of three adults and one child. When my husband tried to add the Super Savory Sandwich, the girl at the register commented that we had already ordered three dishes and that there were only three of us. My husband still wanted to add the super savory sandwich (I don't have photo) and politely asked her to include it. To my surprise, she repeated the same comment and even counted us again along with our orders. I found it a bit odd--are customers not allowed to order more if they want to? We had just finished a long hike and were pretty hungry. My husband eventually said that we could always pack the food to go if we couldn't finish it, and she finally added it to the order. For my son, we ordered the kids meal: garlic chow mein with chicken nuggets and broccoli (unfortunately I didn't get a photo). The chicken nuggets--more like chicken popcorn in my opinion--were extremely salty for a toddler. I'm not sure if they actually taste-test these items before putting them on the kids menu. Because of the saltiness, I didn't let my son eat them. The chow mein, however, was good and he finished it since he loves noodles. The broccoli was just okay. We also ordered the MSG Chicken, which seemed to use the same chicken as the nuggets from the kids meal (again resembling chicken popcorn), just with mushrooms etc added. Unfortunately, this dish was also very salty. The broccoli with beef was somewhat okay, although the beef itself was still on the salty side. I didn't try the mapo tofu coz I have allergies with tofu. I even asked my friend and my husband if it was just me who found the food overly salty, but they had the same comment. On a positive note, the restaurant had a clean restroom and a cute little corner for kids with books and a small table and chairs, which was a nice touch. Overall, because of both the food and the service experience, this will probably not be a place we'll return to. read more

Apprehensive at first because initially we get there was a chain- vibe due to the bright colors and touch screen ordering option. Pleasantly surprised though by the quality, freshness, and flavors.

This place is a 5 star!!! We got off of the plane at SFO and searched up some vegan friendly food and I'm so happy we found this place! The Mapo Tofu with Mushrooms was beyond, and the cabbage salad was so good I never wanted it to end. It was cute inside with creative and fun artwork and the team was so friendly.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our lunch at Mamahuhu the other day. We got the Tingly Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Cleaver Cut Fries and Humboldt Fog Rangoons. I really loved their MSG and was absolutely drowning the fries in it. The chicken sandwich wasn't as spicy as I was expecting but I definitely got the numbing sensation from the mala. The rangoons were yummy but the sauce was a little too sweet for me. You order at the kiosk, grab a number and seat yourself.

Food was fine. But the service was not very professional. I ordered my food by my self, from what I know from the other Mamahuhu in sf, the moment you ordered in the same moment your drinks and sides like ice cream should be give it to you. This did not happened there, I waited for 5-10 minutes for my drink and ice cream, also i cream was not served like it's served in SF Mamahuhu, she just went there with an bad attitude and gave me the ice cream in a small cup, wish was a terrible side for the price. Also later on again I ordered another ice cream due to the size being small, and she just went to the table and almost threw the ice cup to the table and I said thank you and she did not say anything not even your welcome or my pleasure. One more thing, this Asian girl at the register, one old women was kindly giving her the dishes and she went and just pointed pretty rude to were to put the plates, dude she just have take the dishes and that's all, in the Mamahuhu in sf people has to take the dishes to were the tray is but when you handle the dishes they'd just take it, that easy . read more

Found this place one evening while I was on vacation. Interesting name, I'm wondering if the owner even knows the meaning of the words. Anyway, food was decent. When my wife ordered her Ma Po To Fu, she was charged for the price of what we thought was for a combo but she only got the meal, no rice or veggies. My fried rice was pretty good. We went in and order first and waited for our food. So, when we paid, we were asked for tip and I thought to myself, this is a self served restaurant, why am I paying tip so I gave no tip. Then they gave us a number so they can bring our food to us. They also brought my wife's tea to her at the table. But then in the end, we brought our own dishes to a dish return station. So, we were quite confused with the service style they are providing. read more

Always been a big fan of Mamahuhu - get it for delivery many times a month. It's def the best Chinese in Marin. Recently they seemed to have changed their rice plates. Now instead of coming with wok fried veggies on the side, it comes with cold sesame cucumbers (see pic). While I'm sure these are tasty, what it results in is lukewarm flacid veggies after being delivered in a box of hot food. This side went straight to the trash - it was gross. To management - please reconsider this change to the rice plate (at least for delivery). You had such a good model going - why break it with a nonsensical switch? read more

Honestly we love Mamahuhu. We've been ordering takeout since we lived in the city, so when we discovered it was nearby when we moved, we were jazzed. Same quality and amazing food!

The crispy sweet and sour cauliflower, cashew chicken and surprising mala cucumber rounded out the Jade fried rice, which is a fave. Cute vibe, nice staff. read more

Shredded cabbage salad was outstanding. The mushroom tofu was not hot enough and sauce tasted very canned. Did not have authentic taste. Tofu was fresh as was salad and rice nice and fluffy.

We have been wanting to try this place after visiting Mister Jiu's a few years ago. We came on a Saturday evening and it was not busy when we arrived, but it was by the time we left. We were greeted straight away and told we could order at the counter, or at the table. The service was very friendly and fast. We ordered several dishes via the QR menu at the table and it all came out within 10 minutes. Our favorites were the tomato garlic Chow Mien, Mapo Tofu and Mongolian Beef. (So much wok hei flavor in the beef!) We also got Cashew Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken which were both great. The restaurant itself is casual and has self serve plates and cups. It's very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back. read more

After seeing a review on Check Please Bay Area, I bookmarked this. Being a lover of Chinese American food I knew I wanted to try the food offered here. I live in San Francisco where there's two outposts but Mill Valley was a 1/2 way meeting point for folks living in both the North Bay & the East Bay that we were dining with. This being a Saturday evening it took us 45 minutes getting there but going home took 20 minutes. My friends previously scoped out the place and said the booths would be tight for the six of us. There's an area in the back comfortable enough where we were able to scoot a couple of tables together which we did. Ordering process onsite - It's counter service. You can order using the QR code or at the counter. I ordered at the counter. Three house specials and paid. Then I was handed a plastic tent card. The other two couples we were with also ordered what they wanted to eat. House special ordered: * M.S.G. Chicken - very good. Rice coated flour used and deep fried. Great umami. * mapo tofu with pork - lots of fire. Hubby ate the majority of this dish. * tomato garlic tomato chow mein with curry - a different twist on a classic. Fat Shanghai type noodles used. And cherry tomatoes instead of steak tomatoes. * two draft beers - served in chill glasses. * boba tea sundae - I went back up to the counter to order after dinner. The boba tasted a little stale. But overall satisfactory. We didn't order jasmine rice for the two of us but the mapo tofu would have been great with rice. There were plenty of pick up orders and lots of foot traffic. Next time I'll try the outpost in the inner Richmond district in the City. read more

First, I'd like to thank the service person in front as she was completely hustling to keep all the patrons happy with ordering /answering questions , bringing dishes out, and cleaning. Give her a raise as she was working hard. The food was the standard fare of American Chinese food. We got the sweet and sour chicken which had lots of bell peppers and onions and a few strips of pineapple. The chicken was non gristley and were large pieces, tossed in a bit of the sauce. The veg had only flavor of itself and no sauce. For me, it was missing any wok hei flavor and complexity. We love their cutlery and dishes and the tea though! This place seems very family friendly, having a few children's tables with activities, and if you're into that, great. For us, it was just a bit too loud with the children screaming. Overall 3.5 stars. read more

W service - felt very welcomed right when we walked in and good recommendations were made! Unlike this pizza place by the lumbar W vibes - I love the kids seats in the back and outdoor seating if you want to enjoy some sun. W food - I will def come back to try the other sundae flavors. My one complaint would be the rice. It was the most non Asian white rice. I need the rice to be a little sticky. And maybe portions could be a little slightly bigger. W location. Easy to find parking. So close to the theater for a show we were going to after. W restaurant! See y'all next time! read more

Quite surprised we found this delicious authentic tasting chinese restaurant in Mill Valley. We ordered a chicken sando, mapo tofu and a boba milk tea. The pineapple bun added a sweet taste to the chicken sando. The mapo tofu was true to its authentic taste, definitely got it with pork to bring out the flavors. And of course boba milk tea to top it off. The wait staff was super friendly, making sure we had everything we needed to have a great meal. The restaurant setting reminds me of a super casual classroom. Super relax and easy going. Overall, super impressed with the delicious flavors. I highly recommend it. read more

Looking for a lunch spot in Mill Valley that's quick but doesn't miss on flavor and freshness? Mamahuhu is your spot! First time going here, this fast casual restaurant was highly recommended by people in the downtown shopping area. Upon entrance, Mamahuhu is clean, inviting, and vibrant with a pay-at-the-counter method/scan QR code at your table to order vibe. After seeing Mamahuhu highlighted on a Check, Please! Bay Area episode, I knew this spot was special. With two other locations in SF, this tucked away Mill Valley gem serves a healthier take on Chinese-American classics. We ordered the hot & sour soup, egg rolls, the crispy chicken sandwich (this is a must - served on a pineapple bun with black vinegar mayo, so amazing!), tomato garlic chow mein, and the Jade fried rice. All fried chicken is coated with rice flour, and you can taste the quality of ingredients from the tofu to the delicate kale used in the fried rice. All dishes were so light and delicious! Service was quick and friendly - if we had more time, would love to share a few more menu items like their crunchy cabbage salad, sweet & sour cauliflower, a soft serve sundae, or even a local brew (they do have beer, wine, and a kiddo menu!) Looking at their website, they also sell frozen potstickers made with a rice & oat flour wrapper. Looks equally as yummy to make at-home, can't wait to come back! read more

Such a wonderful, kid-friendly restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the clean space and warm, cozy aesthetic made us feel comfortable right away. The staff were incredibly helpful -- our server took the time to guide us through the popular dishes and also pointed out the kids' menu, which made ordering so easy. Since we were first-timers, the server even checked in on us to see how our experience was going, which we really appreciated. My little ones loved the thoughtful touch of a reading nook and a small table with chairs just for kids. It kept them entertained while we waited for our food. And the food -- delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Another big plus was how organized and sustainable the cleanup process is. After eating, customers are guided to sort everything into three recyclable options. It's simple, smart, and shows the restaurant really cares about the environment. We had a great time here as a family and would definitely love to visit again! read more

Love this place. I was so happy when this place opened in Mill Valley to give this town something else to eat besides pizza and Italian. (There was once 4 Italian places within a block, now there are 2...Thank goodness for Mamahuhu!) I used to order from SF and bring it back to MV to eat I've tried almost everything on the menu. It's a great easy family meal. The kids menu is perfect for toddlers and kids. There's a cute kids table in the back if you're eating in. Takeout is fast and it's on pretty much every delivery service. I also love they have boba and it's within walking distance to where I live. I also love trying out their seasonal menu such as the fried fish sandwich. I have yet to visit them during a mahjong night and hope I can in the near future. read more

Love love love the fries. Specially spiced. I don't usually like the large steak fries but they have nailed it!

Moving up to Mill Valley, I knew that I was sacrificing having delicious Asian food at my fingertips. Well my opinion on that certainly changed today. I ordered their super savory pineapple bun chicken sandwich and their lazi chicken... absolutely knocked my socks off. If I was an ASMR food vlogger, I would use Mamahuhu's chicken to help me get views because the CRONCHHH was incredible. The food was deliciously seasoned and the lazi chicken was ACTUALLY super spicy (I ordered it that way). I'm so happy that I don't have to cross the bridge every time I'm craving Szechuan flavors. I mean Panda Express is bomb, I'm not gonna even pretend that it's not, but this stuff was LEGIT. I'm so happy! read more

Unlike the typical Chinese restaurant experience, Mamahuhu strikes me as a place where you'll not clutter your table with numerous shared dishes. If my 2-person lunch was any indication you'll share a couple forkfuls back and forth then settle in to enjoy "your" dish. My dish, in this case, was Tomato Garlic Chow Mein ($14) which, like the dish of my dining partner, arrived at the table as pretty as a wrapped gift; colorful, fresh, and bountiful, the presentation was lovely with enough variation in texture to keep the dish interesting. The Chicken & Broccoli Rice Plate ($15) was equally appealing if less colorful. Mamahuhu puts a little spin on classic Chinese fare in a way that I can't precisely identify. There were flavors present in both dishes which differ from the flavors I'm accustomed to and while enjoyable, they didn't leave me preferring these spins on the classics. A taste I definitely enjoyed though was the one of the sauce which accompanied the Egg Roll ($2). I added the leftovers to my Chow Mein and would've had even more had the sauce been self-serve. I'd not consider Mamahuhu a replacement for a classic Chinese meal but rather a place to get a moderately unique spin on a dish which may be your favorite elsewhere.

We drove 40 miles from the East Bay to check this place out. It is on a corner and easy to miss. The mapo tofu and sweet chicken were very tasty. With tip they came out to a about $41. They don't serve cola for some reason and I had to walk a couple of blocks to get a diet coke to satisfy my wife up. The cashier (on 03/03/24) kindly stopped by to check on us which prompted my wife to get up and order egg rolls. That employee should get four stars from management. She takes pride in her work. The egg rolls tasted ok but we're tiny and I expected more for almost $7 with surcharges. Check out those ridiculous taxes and fees on the receipt. You pay them extra to not leave a footprint and you pay a second bill for their employees healthcare. This information would be useful to know before you go there and maybe posted on the entrance door. Couldn't find it on there website. We would stop in again if we were in the area. read more

Not good, not bad. Rice was way over cooked and personally, the food was too sweet. For its price and taste, I wouldn't go here again.

Mill Valley Store Thoughtful, high concept restaurant with clean airy space and even a table for little kids in the back! Mamahuhu feels welcoming upon entry. Even more so, service is very friendly, helpful and just overall great. Jade fried rice bursts with flavors. Mushroom Mapotofu hits the spicy spot just right. Tomato garlic noodles taste chewy yummy. Sweet and sour chicken was crunchy crispy with green and red bell peppers. The soft serve dessert was a bit of a miss. The oak milk consistency and flavor was a bit too melty sweet. Still, this place is worth trying and we'll go to the other two in the city, too. read more

I am adding to my review. They listened! We tried again and found that they started actually adding a realistic amount of protein again. Yeah!

Mamahuhu brings a delicious fast casual Chinese dining option to Mill Valley! While exploring Mill Valley, my friend and I were glad to stumble upon Mamahuhu, Michelin starred Brandon Jew's more casual Chinese dining restaurant. Located on the outskirts of the downtown, this new location is easy to miss! As a fan of the original in the city, I would gladly take any good Asian food options opening up in North Bay. Just like the original, this location has typical Chinese fare like mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and broccoli beef. However, what I have enjoyed the most is the fried chicken sandwich! Sweet and Spicy Chicken Sandwich (4.5/5) Nestled in between the slightly sweetened pineapple bun, there is the crispy chicken thigh balanced with the refreshing slaw. Unlike most other fried chicken sandwiches, this is super juicy that was super messy to eat with hands, but it was sooo good it didn't matter! Easily one of my favorite fried chicken sandwiches I have had recently! My only downside was that I wish there was more... As mentioned earlier, they do have other items including dessert! If I come back again, I will definitely have to make sure to order more and will update. In terms of service, we were the only customers at 12:00 PM on a Sunday so it was super fast. For parking, we parked near the library and walked over. Overall, Mamahuhu is worth checking out if you are looking for Chinese food in the area especially for the chicken sandwich! read more

Despite the name Mamahuhu, which translates to "so-so" or "mediocre" in Chinese, they make pretty decent food. It's not your traditional Chinese fare or typical Americanized Chinese food - it's somewhere in between. I've tried their pork mapo tofu rice plate a couple of times and appreciate that they still include peppercorns. The sweet and sour pork is also a good option; it's nice and crispy. I would come back for a casual meal! read more

Walked past this store and saw a photo of boba soft serve and I had to give it a try. I loved they it was made from oatmilk and had no dairy! The ice cream isn't as smooth as dairy soft serve but I loved the crunch that same with the sesame crackers on top. The boba was very fresh and cooked perfect. Took about 3 mins to make. I really liked it however it's a bit pricey for $7-8. Not sure if it is something I'd ever crave and come back for for that price point but it was good and if I was in the area, I'd consider getting it again. Also while waiting to get my ice cream, I saw them bring out other dishes which looked really good that I'd probably come back and try one day! Also lots of seating inside with great service. read more

WHEN: Sat @12pm We were in the area to shop at MINT for gifts when we stumbled upon this gem. What caught my attention was the gorgeous logo sign on the window, which had me stop to look at the menu sign outside. Peeking through the window I liked what I saw--so simple yet it has this new modern feeling to it. Then when the door opened something smelled good! That's it, we now had lunch plans. PARKING: We always park near the library which isn't far and it's free! So you order at the counter, grab your number and sit down. I love their self serving station with all the cups, tap water, bowls, and utensils you need! You also have to bus your own dishes. I love their choice of cups and bowls by the way. I appreciate the large sleek booth seatings, and they have smaller tables too. I love the choice of art and furniture, and the minimal decor of plants and other little decors. SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH - $10 Crispy rice-battered chicken thigh, shredded cabbage and huhu sauce on their house made pineapple bun. What had me was that it was served on a pineapple bun--how fun! I love those! The chicken Patty itself was huge, and all the sauces were amazing. I appreciated how even though there are spicy flavors, it was mild enough where I can handle the amount of heat, which I noticed in the menu they don't label it was spicy. Since it was battered and fried with rice--I'm guessing rice paper? It had more of a chewier crunch. It's not my favorite but it's not a big deal. Everything else about sandwich was (although really messy) REALLY good! Love it!!! You can make this a combo for just $7 (worth $11 if it's actually the same portion) more you get the following: WEST LAKE NEEF SOUP - $6 Minced beef, egg white, silken tofu, chicken broth, cilantro. Although I don't think this pairs with the chicken sandwich, it's a damn solid soup on its own. There's plenty of both the minced need and tofu, and it's so good. It was rainy out so it hits the spot. Reminds me of egg drop soup but heartier. RED TEA COLA - $5 Wild Tree Yunnan Red Tea, organic cane sugar, ginger, stair anise, spices. Made in house! I don't drink soda but I saw how unique it sounded AND zigs made in house! If you look at their tap, the handles are terra cotta warriors! I thought that was neat. Oh yeah about the soda: it was simple, light tasting soda. I'm not really one to judge since I don't drink soda but it was worth trying out! I liked the star anise garnish. However, I was kinda surprised my drink wasn't served mostly to the top. The other thing that stood out to me on the menu was the dessert and I got: BOBA SOFT SERVE - $7 Banana oat-milk sort serve, Ceylon tea syrup, tapioca pearls, sesame crunch. OMG SO GOOD! There was a very generous amount of boba (tapioca petals) and they were all sweet and soft! I was afraid by sitting on soft serve it would get hard but it didn't. The soft serve itself was so good and the banana flavor was subtle and actually nice! Who knew? I actually appreciate the sesame crunch as a topping as it gave the dessert some crunch and a slight salty accent flavoring! I actually hated that sesame crunch "candy" as a kid. Get it, it's such a wonderful treat even ima rainy day! What's also cool is they have a playlist going on where if you like it, there's a small flyer with a QR code you can listen on your own via Spotify! Oh yeah I love their beading and overall look and design of your logo, menu, signs, and merch! You know what's interesting? When I'm here, I felt like I was somewhere not in Mill Valley, and I think it's a good thing. I appreciate everything about Mamahuhu and I look forward to coming back. Great food, great branding, great atmosphere, great music. read more

Brandon Jew's second outpost of Mamahuhu has finally landed in Mill Valley, in the old Beerworks location. For those who want a casual, lighter and creative version of fast-food Americanized Chinese, Mamahuhu is a good option. I count myself firmly in that camp. Reading some of the recent Yelp reviews it looks pretty binary: some love it, and some don't. Personally, I'm a fan. The menu is simple and for fast casual food, the flavors are good. My favorites include the sweet and sour chicken, fish underwater with crisp sweet peas, jade rice with sausage, spicy mapo tofu, the egg roll with wood ear, and their cabbage salad with mandarin. Each dish was simple, but had a surprising sweet or umami element that enhanced the dish, from the candied nuts and tofu cracker in the cabbage salad, to the char on the pineapple in their sweet and sour chicken. One dish didn't work as well for us. While cauliflower is a favorite vegetable, their fried sweet and sour cauliflower was crisp on the outside, but soft and mushy on the inside. This location boasts a dessert menu, which includes soft serve. The black sesame banana cake with tapioca was unique & delicious. Can't wait to try the banana soft serve made with Oatley and served with boba. read more
