Mama Wing worked with us to make a menu that worked for our whole family, and she was so delightful every time I spoke with her. I would recommend Mama Wings Kitchen to anyone who enjoys Chinese food! We tried many of the dishes and appetizers, and everything was outstanding! Mama wing went above, and beyond to provide a memorable experience for us, and our guests. Our menu included, orange chicken, gluten-free orange chicken, chow mein, fried rice, chop Suey, Mongolian beef, general TSO chicken, hot and sour soup, Xiao Ling Bao, and another dumpling I'm not remembering currently. Thank you Mama Wing! You made Thanksgiving of 2025 very special!

There was very few waiters that were working that night making it harder to get the waiters attention. The food on the other hand was good and bad. I ordered the xiao long bao and it was very good. The flavor was on pointe, but the dough felt a little under cooked at the bottom. We had also ordered the potstickers which were amazing. I had ordered the mushu pork. It was good, I had never had it before. The flavor was there, and adding the sauces made it much better. My friend had ordered the mama chicken lollipops. I think she was expecting something else and wasn't satisfied with the quality. She and asked if she could get it taken off the bill as she didn't eat any. I would love to go back and see what recommendations the restaurant has because we didn't know what to order.

My husband an I came in and were greated ASAP, the menu had nothing that looked bad. So I had my husband pick something sizzling for me. Since I couldn't decide. Best choice ever! The food was flavorful and tender. The whole meal was simple and comforting, both in the best way possible. For the price you definitely got a good quality of food. My husband left full and I even had enough for a small left over. I highly recommend this for someone wanting a good and filling menu, with speedy and kind service. Also, I know it sounds goofy but I was sold after my first bite of salsa! This is by far the best salsa I have had in 20 years. Only comparing to a friends mother's homegrown, home made, salsa, from her familie's recipe from Puerto Rico. I loved it so much I had to get a container to go. Far warning, there is a spicy and mid salsa. I was offered a dipping bowl of mid, but was loving the spicy one so much that I ended up declining. And getting the biggest To-go salsa there.

Features a full bar with cocktails and a great beer selection. Ambiance is fantastic, with dark wood and interesting lighting and decorations. I'll be honest - it smells like dirty bar from time to time, so I'd say cleaning could be improved. The menu has something for everyone. Their burgers are awesome, the tater tots are creative and delicious. I tried the steak tacos the recently and they were very tasty, although the tortillas were slightly over toasted, resulting in a bit more crunch than you'd expect. Service is usually good. The bartenders handle table service, so you could end up with more than one person waiting on you rather than having a dedicated server. This can result in slower service times when it's busy, but that's the nature of the beast.

We received friendly service throughout our visit and the food was delicious as well, especially the onion rings. We especially enjoyed the fish and chips along with a few other dishes we ordered.

The only downside for me was that I found it a little pricey for the portion sizes. Still, overall it was a good dining experience and definitely a nice place to visit while in Anacortes.
