Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mama Le offers "fabulous food" with a tantalizing taste and outstanding presentation. Guests rave about the perfect ambience, especially on the upper level. The cocktails, particularly the Golden Child, are a standout. Despite occasional service hiccups, the "great value" and unique Vietnamese dishes make it a must-visit.

    Delicious cocktails and a great take on modern Vietnamese food! I am Vietnamese in ethnicity so am critical when it comes to modernised Vietnamese food- Mama Le gets it just right ! The Vietnamese tacos were so tasty I had to order another one on the spot! Ambience and service were lovely and I would be definitely coming back !

    We really enjoyed dining here. We just returned from Vietnam and wanted some of their local dishes that aren’t often offered at an ordinary Vietnamese restaurant. Mama Le had this and then some. Worth trying Bahn Hoi to get the real taste of Vietnam.

    This was a terrible experience from The time we walked in the door. The waitress came over and was unsure how to find our booking. She finally did and we sat down and ordered a drink.. while eating the gentleman making cocktails was busy chatting at the bar so my husband had to go up and ask about our drink, 30 mins later.. we ordered and received food. It was just okay. We then ordered another drink and received that not long after but when the waitress collected our empty plates she knocked the glass on my husband and it smashed everywhere!! No apologies.. we then devotion lrave as we had enough! As we go to pay we are overcharged and our drink on on happy hour as we did not ask? It was just a nightmare. I read the previous reviews and I am shocked how BAD this place is. We will never return

    A beautiful place for any occasion. We sat upstairs which we preferred. The ambience, space and lighting were just perfect. Our lovely waitress Jackie attended to our every request. The food presentation was outstanding. The taste tantalising. I could not fault our experience at Mama Le, we will definitely be back!
