Customer reviews for Thai Mama present contrasting opinions. One reviewer had a highly positive experience, describing the food as absolutely fresh, tasty, and visually appealing authentic Thai cuisine, seemingly prepared with care. They found the owners warm and friendly and were impressed by the quality, considering it comparable to a high-end Thai restaurant despite the unassuming takeout setting. This reviewer expressed eagerness to return.

However, another customer had a significantly negative experience with the Tom Yum with seafood. This reviewer, claiming extensive experience with the dish and familiarity with authentic Thai cuisine from travels to Thailand, found the ordered Tom Yum to be inauthentic. They criticized the lack of sufficient coconut milk, an unpleasant harsh spiciness instead of enjoyable heat, the use of roughly chopped regular tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, and an excessive amount of red onion. The reviewer also mentioned the dish costing $20 and ultimately did not recommend the restaurant, stating they would not return.

Based on these reviews, it appears that experiences at Thai Mama can vary. While one customer found the food to be exceptional and authentic, another had a very negative experience with a specific dish, questioning its authenticity and value. Potential customers may want to consider these differing opinions when deciding to order from Thai Mama.

Wow! Totally unexpected absolutely fresh, tasty, and visually appealing authentic Thai made from the loving hands of Thai Mama herself. The owners are so warm and friendly and we can't wait to come back! Seriously the food you would expect at a high end Thai restaurant not a little hidden take out unassuming gem.This place is for pick up, take out, or Uber eats only.

The place looks authentic, but it has nothing to do with authenticity. I've had Tom Yum about 100 times, cooked it myself around 30 times, and I know not only how it tastes but also how it should look. I've been to Thailand, so I know what I'm talking about. The Tom Yum with seafood I ordered had nothing in common with the real dish besides the name. Not every spicy soup with seafood can be called Tom Yum. There was too little coconut milk, and the spiciness was unpleasantly harsh, rather than the enjoyable heat a real Tom Yum should have. The tomatoes should be cherry, not regular ones roughly chopped. Red onion might be acceptable, but not in such large amounts. And all this for $20? I don’t recommend it. Never coming back.

In a nutshell:Take-out place offering plenty of vegetarian options and lots of food for a decent price. They don't have a vegetarian menu or menu section but they do know the difference between vegan, vegetarian, and actually asked me about my tolerance for fish sauce and egg noodles. They offer most of the menu without fish sauce and with tofu as the protein. I was very happy with all the choices. The ginger tofu stir fry came with enough rice to feed a small family and the fry was decent and even without rice plenty of food.

1st time customer, overall really enjoyed the meal. Food was ready quickly. The amount of green curry was great, just wish rice portion was a bit larger to go with the ample curry size, as it will last me 2 meals. Same for Pad Thai, good flavor and portion size. Flavors were excellent on both! Ordered a medium spice level for both meals, which I will need to downgrade to mild or somewhere in between, as I was sweating while eating. Not a negative, just learning my spice level for Thai Mama's food. Atmosphere cateorgy is hard to rate since really just take out. Will definitely try again and other dishes!

I found this takeout joint recently and I am glad I did .I am in love with their food 😍 I love their Thai hot Tofu pad thai. No many joints satisfy my spice levels, but Thai mama is an exception. My husband is on the milder side though, and there is nothing to worry about as cthey got all spice levels covered. They are quick to take orders and food impressed me everytime .
