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.

It's a small, clean place with simple average food. Has a buffet that you are charged $8.99/lb. If you want any meat other than the 2 or3 or so, on the buffet such as a very thin sirloin steak, it's an extra charge. I ordered a medium rare steak (thickest available) and was served a medium to medium well steak about 1/2" thick. It was pretty bland other than the garlic seared on it. Came with almost sauteed onions on top. The watermelon was very salty, potato salad had a fair amount of mixed vegetables, was not a fan. Bottom line- no, I don't have plans to return.

Great food, reasonably priced. Legit Brazilian grub.

2024 update: No change, except it's even more expensive now, and the quantity is even more ridiculous! One small piece of Tamago, $4.99. One small piece of imitation crab, 4.99. Miso soup, a bit watered down. Fish on rolls was so thin you could see through it, but not even taste it, all for $14.99 each! Total bill for two people that left hungry? $67.00! Won't try a third time. It's absolutely ridiculous! There should be a law against restaurants this bad. 😲🫤☹️🤣 Can not recommend on any level. Avoid. 2022 review: Obscenely expensive. The price of the meal was outrageous for the quality and quantity of food served. The "Princess Roll" ordered was $12.99 and was mainly cucumber with a hint of apple. The crab inside was so scarce that it could not be tasted. Miso soup would have been better if made with instant soup mix available at any Japanese food store. One very thin piece of Tamago (egg) was $2.99. The waitress served it cut diagonally, then informed me that it was actually 2 pieces. 🤣 The Yukgaejang, a spicy beef soup, ($15.99) was absolutely tasteless. No spice, no taste, no flavor. I left hungry, $45.00 lighter, and feeling a bit "ripped off." Without doubt, the worst Korean meal we've ever eaten, anywhere. I can not recommend this restaurant on any level. There are too many other good choices in the area.

Always my go to food after a long tiring day at work. Prices went up but it’s still worth it! Bibimbop is really good together with the sauce. Side dishes are also good and can always ask for more. Overall, good food! Just wished the price was a little small.

We have been here 4 times already. So far, this is the top authentic Chinese cuisine I have ever tried. Following are my favorites and must try dishes: -> Fried egg with Tomato soup -> Twice cooked chicken and Fish -> Fried rice with Yibin pickles. -> Mongolian Beef -> Aspargus and scallion The service was really good and the food was prepared very quickly too. I would definitely recommend this to all.

Hard to go wrong with Shu. We've ordered carry out from them a few times, but this time decided to go in for dinner. It was fairly empty on a Thursday, around 5:30pm, but that's understandable, considering the circumstances. They had every other table set, so there was plenty of social distancing. My daughter had the scallion pancakes and the fried gyozas, and she polished off both of those. I had Kung Pao Jumbo Shrimp, which was good (could've been a bit more spicier). Shu will always be our go to.

This was my first time here. I expected more from the previous reviews that I read. The porterhouse steak that I ordered was full of fat and gristle. Definitely a lower quality cut of meat. The sides were also a little over cooked. After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to a decent salad bar but was told AFTER I made my purchase that the salad bar was closed so I had to settle for a sparse pre made salad. I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 because it was clean which I definitely appreciate. All in all, I think there are much better options locally for a decent steak.

24 oz Porterhouse was cooked perfectly. Juicy and delivered to the table nice and hot. Friendly and extremely nice associates. Clean restaurant. Baked potato was great. Corn on the cob was soggy/ overcooked. Salads a little small. Great dessert selections and tasty. Recommend you save a few dollars for a good dining experience. When you are craving a quick steak ( porterhouse ) and a potato and don't want to drive 25 miles to West Haven or train it 35 miles to NY City, this place is the " Any port in a storm " place to go.

While visiting Greenwich we stumble this great restaurant with outdoor seating on a sunny day. Great service and really good dishes. As a vegan there are some dishes and all of them very tasty. Always ask the waiter because there are vegan dishes that are not in the menu. A must place to dine in.

My girlfriend and I came for a date night on a wednesday, we were greeted by the hostess and she let us see both dining rooms and choose where we'd prefer to sit. (great start) We were swiftly greeted by Jose (The manager, i think?) and offered water, and within a minute, Veronica (our server) introduced herself and helped us choose drinks and navigate the menus. Overall, the food was amazing, Veronica was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had, also, as all 3 of us are similar in age, the vibe she had fit perfect for us and the dining experience we wanted to have. We don't like robotic servers, although they are great and get the job done pretty flawlessly, we like personality and connecting with our servers. So, overall a 10/10 experience. The food speaks for itself, everything was delicious and we would be back just for that, but what really makes places special nowadays is the service you're provided. For context, I work as a server in a high-volume high-end restaurant so my standards are realistic and accurate. I know how busy and stressful things get. Kudos to the FOH staff, kitchen, bartenders, and especially Veronica for providing an amazing date night. Can't wait to be back! Side note: If you wanted some recommendations, Rock Shrimp tempura 11/10 (we asked for some of the rock sauce to take home because it was out of this world) Corn ribs: 10/10; an asian take on eloté, the corn was superbly cooked and flavor was exactly where you wanted it to be. Creamy, warm, cheesy, im craving it as im typing this. Beef tartar croquette: 7/10. beef was phenomenal, but a little too much croquette for me. Miso soup: 10/10 cant go wrong with a well made soup, great starter or palate cleanser Passion roll: 8/10 it wasnt the particular roll i wanted to try, its what the missus wanted and she loved it, I just felt like there were more interesting options on the menu. Regardless, it was well made, rice was well seasoned, fish tasted fresh and the thai sauce wasnt too spicy, which is good for the missus, although i wish it was spicier :) California Uni a la carte, N/A rating. It was our first time trying Uni, so I have nothing to compare it to. Uni is an acquired taste and sadly, it wasnt for us. Will be back to try more things that piqued our interest 👀

Didn't know this place was here and a search for Good Chinese brought this up. The reviews I read were very mixed. But I decided to give it a try. I went on a Friday night about 6:30 pm. There were many, many available seats. I was seated near a window and noticed the place seemed a bit run down. My booth had cracked vinyl seats. Carpet seemed worn, and when I was in the restroom, it was very rusty. But nevertheless I was hoping for a good meal. The server was nice, attentive, and eager to answer any of my questions. I like a lot of spice, so he suggested some dishes and said he could have them adjust the heat level. Ultimately chose the Sichuan chili wontons and three pepper chicken, with brown rice. And I have to say, both were delicious!! The wontons were a little heavy on the salt, but still tasty, and my chicken dish was really flavorful, especially with the added red chili peppers and the chili paste that was brought to the table. They also had some drink specials like 2 for 1 beers, which I took advantage of. Beer and Chinese, natural great combo! Also loved their brown rice!! By the time I was ready to leave, about 8 pm, the restaurant had gained a few patrons, but was still over 50% empty. So I wonder how long they can keep going. But all in all, my food was delicious, my waiter was great, and I would not hesitate to go back. I hope they're still open the next time I'm in the mood. Added note: I went back and had the riblets as an appetizer and the same tree pepper chicken as my entree. Posted pics. The food is really good here!

Disappointed with the food. We ordered many different dishes. All were piping hot in the inside and cold outside. My plate was broken and my cup chipped. Very unsatisfied with the food. However, on another note our server Angela was very attentive and apologetic. Her service was good.

Not sure why the reviews are so harsh, but the food was delicious and service was fast (I mean the waiters don’t let you time to even seat before ordering and they take your plate as soon as you put your fork down) but it was still delicious and a lot of food. Highly recommend!! (And not a single disrespectful music was heard)

I live around the corner and my family gets take out here almost once a week. Typically I like to order a bunch of apps, but have enjoyed a lot of their entrees as well. Some of my favorites are the Wok Seared Filet, the Rock Shrimp (pro-tip I order this app instead of the Crispy Walnut Shrimp then I get a side of Sushi Rice) the Pork Fried Gyoza, and the Scallion Pancakes. If you really want to get crazy I've been known to throw a piece of steak and shrimp on a pancake and dip it in the dumpling sauce. #tellemmikesentyou

Beautiful authentic Indian food with no upset stomach to follow. If you love spice you can ask for anything to be spicy and they will make it to your request! The garlic Naan is fresh tasting and to terribly addicting. Can be a little pricey but it is worth every penny. Dining in is perfect but their takeout is also amazing. Love this place a lot this is where I spoil myself on weekends. Some places go overboard on one spice in their blends but this restaurant has someone there that knows the balance of spices and herbs beautifully.

A friend in the area recommended this restaurant. I was not disappointed. The food is prepared on demand and came out within a reasonable amount of time. Vishnu and the rest of the staff were very attentive and friendly.

Do not eat inside. They will serve everyone who ordered after you if they do “to go”. You would be last on a list. Cleanses of a powder room are the same as outside toiled on concert stadium. After 30 minutes of waiting for lo men and watchin like customer going in, ordering food and after 5-7 minutes going out with a food - I tooked my money back and leave this place. I was there today at first time. And this is would be my last time when I was there.

The food is ok for the price. And quality isn't offensive. I order here often and enjoy the boneless rib with pork fried rice. Eating this makes me happy 😊

Food was ok...service was poor..had a young guy wait on us...seemed to not want to..my friend asked if they had a certain item and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know"..not like it was busy..no one in there at the time.

I got together with a group of friends for the holidays and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The service was excellent , and the food was fantastic, just as I remembered it from my last time here.
