Mama Chan's Chinese Take-Out

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I ordered a small shrimp egg foo young w/ a shrimp egg roll. The gravy was dark which I had no issue with but it was bitter and bland. The eggs tasted like they were made with powdered eggs.The egg roll was made in house, that they added red pepper flakes in it. It was terrible, my egg foo young wasn’t patty’s but rolled into a ball. I won’t be going back.

Perhaps they know their clientele, but if you haven't been here before think twice before going. I got the egg foo young but the gravy was very dark and very thick. The fried rice tasted a little bit old and smelled kind of burnt. I did notice that there were a lot of people getting yock a mei so I guess that's part of their specialty. Like I said, If you like it you like it but if you haven't been there I think twice.

I love their yock! I think it’s the best in Hampton Roads. My second favorite here is their shrimp egg rolls. Absolutely delicious!

Haven't been here in years because I moved states away but when I tell you I always go for their shrimp egg food Yung or they chicken yok. It never misses I literally grew up on their food. Now whenever I taste Chinese food in other cities I get sad and wanna cry because none will hit like mama chan's do

This place is an old Portsmouth favorite. The food is good and very consistent. It's a charming no frill kind of restaurant where you can always rely on getting a great meal. The menu is pretty impressive and the ingredients are always fresh. Not a place you'd take a first date but definitely a place for real foodies!!!!
