    A sweet little gem hidden in the Midwest. Mama Chan's staff were amazingly sweet and absolutely took care of our every need. Mama Chan herself even came out to greet us and shoot the breeze with us! It was awesome! The appetizers were good but make sure you try the two sauces that come with them. The homemade sweet and sour sauce, and sweet chili sauce were some of the best sauces I've ever had. Never had pad Thai before but it's not my cup of tea, but that isn't a knock against them, it's just not for me. The sweet and sour chicken and beef and broccoli were definitely my favorites and they didn't disappoint. If your tired of the same Chinese food in Decatur, then I would definitely recommend making the short 15 minute trip to Moweaqua and visiting mama Chan's! If not for the food, at least for the great customer service.

    The food was made from fresh ingredients and very good. Customer service was fine…read more We will continue to eat here when we are back in Effingham.

    This pains me to leave a review, because I'm sure the business is struggling post COVID... but if…read moreyou run a corrupt business then prepare yourself for reviews. We came from out of town for lunch and saw decent reviews -- but BEWARE because good reviews are before COVID. We sat and the older lady immediately brought 4 waters to the table and walked away. We looked at the menus and she returned to take our order and warned us the prices are NOT accurate. I asked her by how much, and she said it's up by $3 because inflation (the entrees were already priced at $10.95 for chicken and $12.95 for shrimp)-- so add $3 to that. You'd assume the produce was fresh and decent portion sizes. What was ordered: 2 red curries (shrimp), and 1 shrimp fried rice. She walks to the kitchen and all we hear are the sounds of a microwave door being opened, buttons pressed, and ringing once food was ready. 5-10 mins later, all our meals were out. This was by far the nastiest Thai food ever. Portions sizes were 1 scoop of white rice and a small bowl for the curry. 4 pieces of shrimp with tail on it. Curry tasted like sugar water. Fried rice was cold in the middle and sweet in flavor. High salt content for sure. She comes around and asks if we needed more rice -- here I assumed she realized she gave VERY LITTLE amount of rice and came to her senses. The bill comes around totaled to $60+. She charged $4 for the extra white rice, $4 for the waters, and $31+ for the curries, $15+ for the fried rice. BEWARE AND TURN AWAY. I had her drop $4 from the bill because of how she never asked if we wanted waters, and never explained the rice was being charged as extra. She was extremely rude and pushy during this whole experience and was just honestly annoying to deal with. Do not come here. Oh and there was hair in the food.

If you don't like Thai food you need to try Thai house and I'm telling you, you're gonna change your mind. Their food is always fresh and cooked to order. It's to die for. Service-5 When it's family owned, you already know they're going to care and do their best customer service. Very friendly people to say the least. Overall-5 Highly recommend trying. It's worth every penny, and make sure to leave these beautiful people a good tip

    I love Thai food, so when we drove past this place I decided to look at the menu. I was immediately…read moreintrigued to see the photos of the pineapple rice that were posted. I decided to place an order... such a mistake! Starting with placing the order. I inquired about what came in the rice - carrots, onion, pineapple, bell pepper, and choice of meat. I asked about green onion and I was told it was $3 up-charge-- wow, for slices of green onion vs white onion?!? Price gauging Ok whatever, I proceed with placing my order-- 40 min!! Now, I live in a busier city than this and I've been to major cities, this amount of time is a bit ridiculous. I should have just canceled then, but my sister said their food is good, so I stayed the course. Arrived to pick up my order and stood there for about 2-3 min while the man took phone orders. I get it, but at minimum acknowledge your customer. My total was $17.95 for rice... I asked for chili sauce and he said $1 for a small side, peanut sauce $5, and soy sauce $.50... these are not reasonable up charges at all! A packet of soy sauce is customary. It smells good so, let's get to the food. It's an orange-y color with pieces of pineapple and super chunks of green pepper and onion -- The flavor is ok, not impressive at all! The presentation of the rice is NOTHING like the photos. The pineapples are sweet, but I noticed a couple of bad pineapples (they were brown and soggy!). I wouldn't recommend and I probably won't come to this place again. Poor quality, poor service... I'm guessing the only thing that must be keeping this place in business is the lack of Thai options here. Shame!
