Tried for the very first time. The portions were good. The food was very good. They threw in a big bottle of coke. We will be back!

Excellent food! Try shrimp Broccoli with white sauce with xtra shrimp and the spareribs to Die sauce. The white sauce is clear and light. Its not on the written Menu. But they will make it if you ask. yummy read more

We have tried the General Tso's chicken, the orange chicken, the chicken lo mein and boneless ribs from this place. All were delicious. The stand outs were definitely the General Tso's chicken and boneless ribs. The white rice that came with the chicken dishes were moist too. It's in a small strip but packed with flavor. It's a must try if you are in the area! read more

Price is unbeatable for lunch specials. Flavor is there with generous portions. Egg foo yung is good.

Great Chinese food is hard to find. There is lots of good but I'm always on the look for that flavor that makes it great. A friend of mine recommended me this spot and I have to pass on this gem. It's a small store front in fairly empty plaza. Lots of parking in the private lot. It look like every take out spot you have been to but the real star is the food. The flavors were exactly what you look for in Great Chinese. I ordered the General Tao's chicken combo with an order of chicken wings. The rice was fresh, not overly greasy or wet, veggies cooked and eggs in the rice. I don't remember the last time I had eggs in my fried rice. The chicken was fried up but NOT rubbery or overly cooked. The wings I want to order and have right now! They were seasoned and well cooked. The crunch I got with each bite was so satisfying. The egg rolls were on point. Point being this is my new go to spot. 5/5 stars! read more

Great selection of food, Always willing to make exactly how you need the meal prepared. Very busy business but waiting time is worth it.

Order here everyday for lunch special good fresh food made to order. Mama is very nice and fast at her job

I have ordered food from mama foods for over 10year very satisfied the best in Franklin square keep up the good food

Wanted to give a new Chinese restaurant a try and it didn't really go too well. Ordered a decent amount of things and everything just fell terribly short on flavor except the shrimp. The sesame chicken wasn't tender at all and it just didn't taste that good. The wontons were inedible, I had 2 bites and was forced to throw them away sadly. The wings tasted like they were refried multiple times and the egg drop wonton soup was just ok. I really liked the shrimp so maybe I'll come back and give them another try with different items like just beef and shrimp read more

See all

I order the wonton soup here almost daily! It's so good compared to their local spots. I've also tried fried rice, General Tso chicken, boneless spare ribs and egg rolls! The service is quick! I call ahead and it's always ready. read more

Great food Great service, pulled pork is delicious, wonton soup is also delicious. Highly recommend this place. read more

When you start to charge for the little things: "hot oil" that's when I think about going somewhere else. I will look elsewhere for Chinese food read more

It took over 30 minutes to get my food and it was awful No meat in the food Don't go read more

The worst customer service I ever had in my life placed an order at 5 o'clock. The order came in and it was wrong. Call them back. She said she'll send it over right away. 615. Finally the food came and she wanted three dollars more is she for real read more

The food is very good ( better during the week ). My only complaint is the man whe delivers. I live exactly two blocks away, but have trouble walking. The last time the man delivered, he pounded on my door to yell that I didn't add a tip to my prepaid order. Tonight, he yelled at me again. I told him he was being very rude. He crumpled my receipt and threw it on my steps. He will never get a tip from me. If I could walk those two blocks, I certainly would. While I enjoy occasionally having their food, I certainly don't need the rudeness that comes with it. read more

Unprofessional staff. Takes half your order tells you to hold on put doesn't put you on hold. Proceeds to take more order of NEW calls instead of putting them on hold and finishing first call. Rude. Receipt not provided in English. They need to hire someone who is professional, does not scream into the phone and speaks clearly. read more

Absolutely delicious. Definitely the best around the area. Egg and spring rolls are bigger then usual. But, sure was delicious.

The place is a shithole, but the food is great! It's one of the best take outs around. The place is always busy so you know it's good . Every family in the neighborhood has Mama Food in their rotation . read more

Great food! Every dish is delicious. They have the best fried rice, noodles, and overall dishes!

I'm not a big Chinese food person, but my husband is and wanted some last night. This place was suggested to us by a friend, and it definitely didn't disappoint. We ordered during a busy time on a Friday night and it still only took about a half hour which was a nice surprise. We ordered the fried shrimp appetizer, beef and broccoli, and a chicken and garlic sauce combo meal. Everything was excellent. The shrimp were huge and crunch and the meats in both meals were deliciously tender. I would definitely order from here again! read more

Always delicious hot food. Have never had a problem with them. This is our go to place for takeout

Called to place a take out order at 6:41 tonight & I'm here at 7:45 and it's not ready. Don't waste your time. I don't care if it was free or if the President recommended it. No Chinese food is worth the wait, the stress, the headache..they let you stand there without an update, no communication. The pile to-go order on the counter as if they are priority while people crowd inside due to cold temperatures. I just can't! I am offended. The blatant disregard and unprofessionalism. They are understaffed and it's obviously a family business. It's literally the first Chinese restaurant where they don't have their shit today. 0/5 would NOT recommend! read more

Consistently good food! Been eating here for a few years now and after trying others always end up coming back.

Fav for Chinese takeout in the area. Everything is fresh and piping hot! Ready so fast.

Ordered my lunch today: shrimp w bean sprout. It was wok fried w little ginger root, severed with pork fried rice. Also the best Hot N Sour soup included. Happy!! read more

This place is the best Chinese food I've had outside of when I was in Singapore. It's even better than a lot of the places I tried while in Asia in the military. You'd never think this place was so legit from the outside. Looks like just another run of the mill Chinese spot. The Salt & Pepper Prawns are to die for. Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Lo Mein, Crab Rangoons, Spare Ribs, and Chicken Noodle Soup are some of my favorites. Beef & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, fantastic. Everything is always so fresh tasting. Every bite of Broccoli has that satisfying same-day fresh crispy crunch. Not once have I gotten some garbage mush, I don't know how they do it. Usually Chinese joints are a mixed bag, one place makes X dishes amazing and other stuff is mediocre. It's usually a crap shoot. Not Mama Food. I even liked it so much, I called back just to thank the chef with my most recent meal. During dinner rush even, but I didn't care. This place is so good, I logged into this site for the first time in a LONG TIME just to gush over how good it is. After this review, I'm ordering another Salt & Pepper Prawns because i got so upset when I took the last bite. Easiest 5 stars I've ever given. read more

Mama Food - Menu 1 - MAMA FOOD Must share the awesomeness of this place - Chinese Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

Best Chinese food in the area. Always super fresh. It tastes like the food I remember as a kid. The best egg rolls, best scallion pancakes and all Chinese restaurant favorites. I never ever get a bad meal. I have also been to their restaurant and they are very clean. One bad thing, they are always very busy. I miss them and hope they return soon read more

This place is by far the best Chinese I've tried. Their cheese wontons are amazing (personally I prefer to crisp them up in the oven a bit more). They are very busy, anytime I go here I'm impressed with how many people they have to help at once. Funny thing is every naggy customer I've stumbled upon has been upset about their service time, which is understandable but personally, I think their food is worth the patience. read more

Just ordered a dinner for my family and they messed up the order. This is not the first time, if you want good food and service go to Franklin square or valley stream. Then they wanted the wrong oder back! My brother is sick with what may be corona virus!! What were they d Going to do re-serve it ?? Very dangerous practice!! Be safe not sorry!!!!!!! read more

Of the many times we ordered fr Mama Foods, only once did it not earn five stars! That's pretty impressive. Delivery is fast. Food is hot and fresh. Favorites include: Crispy prawns w walnuts White meat chicken chow mein Sesame chicken Lemon chicken And we will always get some complimentary canned soda free of charge. Wonderful place! read more

Food was good and plentiful. Boneless ribs maybe slightly over done, but not an ounce of fat...so it was worth it. Their egg foo young is always delish. Love this place!!! read more

BEST Chinese take out in the neighborhood. They are extremely friendly and have been kind enough to make my order when I rush in late and they are wiping down for the night. Delivery is really fast so any time you order have your $$$ ready cause they'll show up real quick. I love their egg drop soup, wings, house special fried rice & a number of other dishes. Trying to taste everything on their menu - tonight I'm trying the dim sum... read more

Just moved to Franklin Sq. Tried 3 other Chinese Food take out restuarants in FS, and they were mediocre and some super expensive. Tried Mama Food recenetly and it was spectacular. Just the fried rice (House special) is phenomenal. Its what chinese fried rice is supposed to be. And its not expensive. If your going to have chinese food, eat here!!! read more

Favorite place for lunch. The lunch specials are a reasonable price with good portion size. Their fried rice is the best I've ever had, the egg really adds a great kick to it. Always really fresh! read more

The food is good. The chow fun is my favorite but its always dry. I love the pork bun its very tasty. The tofu with mushrooms is good too.

Just moved to the area and if you live in NY, you must have a Chinese food delivery on speed dial. So we tried Mama Food and have to say that we are pleased. The delivery was fast and the food was good. We tried another location first because they were close and they definitely did not hit the mark. We drove past Mama Food and immediately checked on Yelp for reviews. Safe to say we have found our place. We tried the boneless rib tips, lo mein, egg rolls, and more. Don't judge, we are a family of six... Overall we are pleased and will continue to frequent Mama Food. read more

Great chicken with garlic sauce. Quick delivery. My only concern was the General To's Chicken was good but had a strange bad metal taste. Hope they'll can fix this problem because I really like the location. read more

Still one of the best places to get authentic Chinese soups. The food is fresh and prepared better than the typical local Chinese place. I have not been disappointed yet. Delicious Americanized Egg Foo Young as well. read more

Been coming here for 10+ years, and I'm loving it. Tried finding other take-out spots in Long Island that were better than Mama Food, but can't find any. Their fried rice alone is one of the best I ever tasted, and not bland like other spots. Their turnaround time is quick, and they're always consistent with their food. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone! read more

updated review-so mama's finally brought back the correct food. when they arrived they asked for the incorrect meal and soda that was first delievered back! this is absolutely disgusting and concerning as covid is still a real concern. we told the delievery person that they should not give this food to someone else and they insisted on taking it so we gave it to them. i am not sure if this is allowed. will contact the health department! not safe. don't trust mama's. read more
