Food was very tasty, good choice of dishes, although we were disappointed that some items were unavailable due to the machine for bao buns not working. Drink service was a little slow but staff were friendly and helpful. And the vibe and decor in the restaurant were excellent. Highly recommend.

Every time I’ve gone to Mama Yo, the food is excellent and the service is exceptional. No request is too big. We were there for a birthday recently, and we’d not even mentioned it to staff. Somehow they caught wind of it, and surprised my friend with a birthday dessert. It’s the little things that really count! Will be back again…and again…and again!
