Mama Chow

If you like authentic Asian food - especially Malaysian food, this is a place you cannot miss! We were driving from NY to Rhode Island with our kids and relatives from Bangkok. We decided to stop over for lunch along the way and was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! To be honest, I was skeptical as I did not find any good (and very pricey) Asian food in NY! Came into the restaurant and met Kim the owner/chef and his whole family who runs this place! Little did we know that Kim was previously an executive chef for large hotel chains and had travelled the world. His idea for Mama Chow is to introduce Asian cuisine to his restaurant focusing on fresh yet high quality ingredients to bring out the simple authentic flavours of Asia! We had Kon Loh Mee (KLM) - egg noodles with juicy BBQ pork and pork wonton dumplings, Lard Na (in Thai or in Cantonese they call it Wat-Tan-Hor) - fried flat rice noodles with silky smooth seafood sauce, seafood laksa (ramen noodles in coconut curry broth and fresh seafood with large Tiger prawns), char kway teow (fried flat rice noodle with a distinct Malaysian wok fried flavour), Nasi goreng - Malaysian/ Indonesian fried rice. Kim also served us his special dishes lor mai Kai (glutinous rice with steamed with chicken and mushrooms - a local dish usually served for breakfast in Malaysia) and steamed aubergine! Not only was the food delicious, the hosts were amazing! Such generous and friendly family! We had such a memorable meal here! Highly recommended to all to visit Mama Chow and experience it for yourself! Food taste so good, you have to try it to know it! P/s: ask for Sambal to go with your dishes and don’t miss out on the waffles and yam ice cream - if your tummy is still asking for more!

I am blown away by this restaurant, the meal was packed with flavor and then some more. For appetizers, we ordered the kale salad (so delicious), the edamame (must order, I don’t know what seasoning is on here, but it’s crack and I want more of it), the Vietnamese spring rolls (purely amazing), and the mushroom dumplings (melting with flavor). Honestly next time I go, I’m going to order the entire appetizer menu and skip on the entree. What a great way to taste many different things and share plates with your friends. As an entree I got the special summer noodles, which was a vermicelli cold salad bowl with pork, veggies, and the spring rolls. Whether you do take out or dine in, this place must not be missed. It’s absolutely so delicious. If I lived in Westport, I would come eat here every week.

Delicious and tasty dishes! I had the CKT and the steamed eggplant special. Also enjoyed a bubble tea drink. Fast service and fun watching the kitchen team as well. I’ll be back. 3/4/2023 I had their special oxtail noodle soup and tried their hot oil dumplings. 4/12/2023 Laksa was great! Love the coconut broth!

Servings are generous in portions, Ambiance is relaxed and easy going. My advice: bring your appetite and sense of adventure of new dishes and you'll enjoy your dining experience. And keep coming back as I saw quite a bit of repeat customers. So, come in!

My wife and I went here on our way back from JFK airport on a whim. We were hungry, tired, and fresh off actual decent food from Europe--Fast Food just wasn't gonna cut it. So we picked this place on a whim as we both love Korean cooking, Pho, and Ramen. Holy moly! This was one heck of a winner! The atmosphere was laid out great, the flavor was *amazing*, and the service was very good. We got two large bowls of food, an appetizer, and a hot beverage for approx $45 which was quite fair for CT sit down prices. Recommend you stop by. We'll make it a tradition every time we fly home from now.
