Mama’s Kitchen

I’d like to say firstly that without «Mama’s» store… there would be no way I would’ve survived in indiana.
Tried the bibimbap and the beef chow fun.
The bibimbap was excellent it definitely fixed my craving since there’s hardly any Korean restaurants around.
Beef chow fun… massive and delicious… i love that it’s right in the store. When my mom takes forever I just get a snack before I get hangry and purchase everything I don’t need in the store.

Ive been with Asian food all my life and I have to say when I got to Mama restaurant after a weekend of hiking I was really excited to eat some really good food.
I read all the reviews here and I was like I wanna give it a try.
They had only 1 thai dish on the menu the rest was either chinese or korean.
The pad thai was soaking in soy sauce. what the hell is that??? She even mixes it up for you. what the hell, can I not choose what I want to add into MY pad thai?!
This is how pad thai should look like, it not hard to make, if I was close to home and not 3 hours away i would have made it all 30x better and im indian dame
The Bibibap was garbage the she deep fried the egg! Sesmeseed the hell out of it why?
Here this is how it should look like!
And yes I am being critical. When I go hiking around there again screw that place.
I paid 20 bucks and had to get a rally burger I was so offended I didnt even touch it.

This place is very good. They don’t have a lot of vegetarian options (none of the soups are) but the items I have tried are great! The vegetable hot pot is wonderful and so is the lemon grass tofu. My husband always gets the Phở Thai — he loves it. Food is always fresh, service friendly and fast.

This is a great, fresh, authentic, and casual asian restaurant that provides great food and service. This menu is nice and short and a lot of what’s on it can’t be found anywhere else around town.

The pad Thai is served up fresh and truly steaming hot. Crab Rangoon was very good as well. I would have given 5 stars but for the odd environment. The food is Excellent! Had to get a to go box, and I’m stuffed!

My companion was a little creeped out by the sticky menu and cloudy glassware, but the food was delicious – phò and chow fun. Call ahead for green papaya salad. I love this place in spite of its flaws and will eat here whenever I’m in Evansville.

I don’t write Unilocal reviews but Mama’s Kitchen persuaded me. Been here a few times when visiting. The Pork Soup is my favorite. The noodles are great and pork and flavors are dope. Pork buns are about as good as I get at big city East Coast places. Vegetable noodle soup has hella ingredients and is legit. Price is great. Really good selection and seems authentic.

Best place in town for Phở!!! Their dumplings are the best Ive ever had also. Generous portions, sweet and funny cooks, and fair pricing. My husband and I found a new fave. This is a little gem in Evansville. And when you’re done eating walk over to the grocery next door and get some shopping done. There is so much to try! We can’t wait to go back for more.

Very good, authentic food. I had the Pad Thai which was absolutely delicious. I also had homemade crab ragoon and dumplings. Everything was fantastic, and the service and speed was great. I will definitely be back

This is a tiny restaurant. It has, I think, 4 tables. The same people that run the grocery that’s adjacent also prepare the food. It’s a small menu made up of what I gather are authentic asian dishes. If you are new there, you will likely be encouraged to order the Pad Thai. The reason is probably that it tastes great, and will be enjoyed by the most people.
If you are adventurous in the slightest, however, refuse the Pad Thai and order something else! The other items all contain difficult to pronounce and understand names, but the flavors are amazing — unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. They will contain foods you’re not accustomed to eating, but they work well in combination.
I’m a pretty picky eater and so I have to step out of my comfort zone to try some of these dishes, but it’s always well worth it. For what it’s worth, my uncle, who has spent tons of time in East Asia and was familiar with all the dishes listed on the menu, said the dish he had was the best tasting he had tried anywhere in the United States.

Great food, great price, and friendly staff. We ordered the dumplings and the pad Thai noodles. So delicious! It was enough for two people by far.
It’s located inside the international food market, but it does have it’s own entrance from the outside, so it’s not too difficult to find.

This is one of the best hidden gems in Evansville. The food is fresh and made to order. The portions are very generous. The Vietnamese Phở is delicious with a broth that had layers of flavor. And the Pad Thai is yummy! I am so thankful for the owners of Aihua for opening up Mama’s Kitchen. While the space is quite small, the food is worth it! Will definitely come back to try the other dishes (which include Korean, Chinese, and Russian cuisine).

Just found the gem today. The atmosphere is not so good… the food however, is FABULOUS! Bets chicken pad tai I’ve had — ever. Lots of yummy veggies and flavor. Would definitely recommend.

My husband was in town for a project and during his 3 month stay, he ate at mama’s kitchen nearly everyday. The owner was the cook and she was very friendly and the food was cooked fresh and customized to each customer. Her specialty was the pad Thai.

Tucked inside Aihua International Market is this tiny noodle shop. The menu is small, the portions are huge, the price is right, and the food is delicious and authentic! Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese comfort food, and the noodles are made from scratch. I have had the beef and noodles which was very tasty; tender beef, vegetables, spicy savory broth and a ton of homemade wheat noodles. The other dish I have tried there was the Korean bibimbap bowl which was simply perfect. It was a huge dish served with rice, kimchi, sprouted mung beans, sliced beef, carrots, cucumbers, sauteed mixed vegetables and a fried egg on top. I shared with my husband and I was still extremely full. I have tried the other 2 «Korean» restaurants in Evansville and this was hands down the best. Coffee, tea, and water are all free, and the food is cooked right in front of you by the owner, who is very sweet and accommodating. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you are missing out.
