    Mama Style Tots
    Thomas M.

    Picked up Mama Hieu's for dinner and it did not disappoint! The staff were friendly and had many suggestions of what to try. The store is cozy and nicely decorated. I ordered the Box of Original Garlic Butter Chicken, and a side of Mama's Style Tater Tots. The chicken portion was generous (7 pieces), with delicious breading and dipping sauces. You have to ask for the sauce, so don't forget! The tots were hot crispy, with wonderful toppings. Will be back to try the garlic noodles. Enjoy!

    I was making it a habit in coming here when they started their weekly wednesday promos where $4 for 4 wings and then the following 2 weeks it was $8 for 8 wings. When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

    Chicken was crispy, juicy and packed with flavor - def up there with some of the best Vietnamese style fried chicken wings. We got the Garlic Butter Wings and the Fish Sauce Wings (similar to Bonchon/IYKYK) with a side of sweet potato fries which also was delicious. Service was great, food came out in a timely manner. Can't ask for more. Seating and Environment was highly appreciated as there was plenty to select from. Will def return if we are back in the area.

    This is how 50 pieces half and half is packaged.  Excellent.  Impressed at the size of the wings.  (larger than normal)

    Craving Mama's again only 15 days since my first try of the Garlic Shrimp. It's still amazing, but the SPICY is a bit too much for me and if you know me... I LOVE GARLIC. The breading on the spicy seemed thicker and not as appealing and the garlic sauce was way overkill. I had to peel off the breading this time and there was a lot of wasted sauce on the bottom of my to go container. Half the amount would have qualified IMO as "spicy"... Even though I'm a garlic LOVER, I prefer the regular over the spicy...

    Crispy & delicious. The neon sign gave it a yellow hue. | Box Original Garlic Butter & Spicy Garlic Butter

    Step aside American and Korean-style wings, it's time to try Vietnamese-style wings! We went on a Sunday at around 1pm. Like the limited parking in the front, the shop was packed! It's a casual dining area with many occupied tables. We were lucky to snatch a table to sit after ordering at the register. Despite being busy, it didn't take too long for our number to be called. We ordered the box with half original garlic butter and half spicy garlic butter wings, which came with two generous scoops of rice. Both flavors had a Vietnamese-inspired dry rub where the spices really stood out. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy and meaty in the inside. They were very garlicky, so be prepared. Both had a garlic butter base, but the spicy wings had a slightly different flavor with a nice kick that left a lingering tingle on your lips. We also ordered the garlic noodles, which felt more like a rich, cheesy pasta than traditional noodles. The thicker noodles were heavily coated and a bit heavy. The garlic flavor was strong and somewhat overpowering. The taste was decent, but the texture was not my favorite. Overall, it was a solid meal, and I would come back to try other flavors (fish sauce and salted egg yolk). I also saw someone eating the hot chicken sandwich and that looked delicious!

    Spicy Garlic & Salted Egg Yolk- Preferred spicy garlic over the salted egg yolk. If you really like salted egg yolk then I would recommend it. Garlic noodles- One of the best garlic noodles. The cheese on top made the dish so good. It is heavy if you were to eat all of it.

    Quick food stop before getting back on the road. The fried chicken here had such a great crispness. Very moist and I love the accompanying sides of rice and picked veggies that come in the box. I wish the garlic flavor was a litter stronger as some bites lacked it. Got garlic noodles to-go and WOW! amazing buttery, garlic flavor, tasted really good reheated as well:)

    Mama Hieu's is a small casual Vietnamese restaurant in Westminster. It's not a big restaurant and has seating for about 30 guests. They're known for their crispy chicken wings with Vietnamese flavor influences but have other offerings like noodles and sandwiches. We previously ordered party trays from here and loved the food so we wanted to come eat at the restaurant. We ordered the original garlic butter, spicy garlic butter, salted egg yolk, and fish glazed chicken wings. We also ordered the mama style fries ($8) and spicy garlic shrimp noodles ($15). Of the chicken wings flavors, my favorite was the spicy garlic butter. The wings were crispy and I liked that they were full-sized wings and not the tiny ones you might see elsewhere. The fries were on the sweeter side due to the mama sauce and I think it could've benefited from something spicy or sour like pickled jalapeños or pickled onions. Some meat might've been welcomed too. We loved the garlic noodles and its buttery-ness. Overall everything was great and had strong flavors. The prices were actually pretty reasonable and I can see why they have such long lines.

    This place deserves all the continued hype and business. Great spot to feed a crowd or be the talk of your next party. Fish sauce wings were hot & juicy and the unexpected star of the show were the truffle tater tots! Soooo delicious & fragrant. Can't wait to come back & order everything else!

    This hype wing spot is in the heart of Little Saigon and it absolutely delivers. Mama Hieu is not playing around! These wings are PACKED with flavor to the point where you're eating down to the bone. No meat left behind. I ordered a box of the garlic butter wings, and it came stacked with two scoops of rice, sweet chili sauce, and pickled veggies. Let me just say that everything on that plate had a purpose. The wings were insanely juicy and tender, and had that garlicky goodness. You can tell they're using fresh minced garlic and tossing it with green onions because every bite had that bold, aromatic punch. And the skin???? It was Perfectly light and crispy. No sogginess here. I was literally scooping up every last bit of garlic and green onion and piling it onto my chicken and rice. It was that good. The sweet chili sauce had a thick, sticky texture with just the right balance of sweet and heat, and the pickled veggies added a refreshing crunch. The vibe is hip, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience feels like Vietnamese style hot wings done RIGHT. It 100% lives up to the hype. Only heads up, parking can be tough since it's right in the heart of Little Saigon, but trust me it's worth it. This place is bomb. Period.

    We get chicken wings for family events from here throughout the year and its worth the drive everytime! The service is friendly and the food is even friendlier with my taste buds. This is love at first bite type stuff. The vibe inside is cool and clean. Best $120 bucks ever spents for an order of 100 chicken wings.

    Salted egg yolk wings with rice
    Kaylee L.

    I ordered the House Box Salted egg yolk wings which comes with 7 wings and 2 scoops of rice. I ordered thru Uber Eats and was surprised how good it was. The wings were still warm and crispy. They were not dry and was marvelously well-seasoned with a slight spiciness. A slice of lime was included in the box but it is not needed unless you really like your wings tart. I was not sure what to expect with the salted egg yolk, but it did not disappoint! Each wing was sprinkled with just the right amount of salted egg yolk bits and not overpowering. The salted egg yolk is so good with everything I am surprised that they don't offer salted egg yolk tots on the menu! Don't let this place fly over your head! It's wing-credible!

    I love small successful local businesses like mama hieus that does one thing perfectly: vietnamese style fried chicken, served with two scoops of rice and a side of pickles, in a paper carryout box. Simple and delicious. Perfect for a quick lunch. This is a cherished addition to the takeout rotation.

    How big is garlic noodle tray?? How many does it feed?

    Around 10-15 people

    Is your fried chicken gluten free?

    Do they have boneless?

    All bone in wings.

    Is there an a la carte wing option?

    Minimum 5 wings though.

    How far in advance do we need to order a party tray? Thank you

    Best if you can order a couple days ahead of time, however I think 1 day in advance is ok. I'm answering from previous orders I've made. However, during Super Bowl they were taking orders a month ahead.

    What the current methods of payments accepted @ the new 9090 Bolsa location?

    Do your chicken wings have eggs in them?

    Yes our product does contain eggs in them.

    Can we eat in? Take out only?

    Only take out, it's a phone order then set a time for pick up. It's homemade food made in her kitchen and there's no place to eat in.

    I'm allergic to seed oils. What kind of oil do you use? Also is the chicken breaded at all?

    We use canola frying oil. Our chicken in lightly breaded. It’s also gluten free

    Do they have delivery service?

    Yes but a private one place an order on insta (dm them) and then schedule a delivery time :) or I think you could just call the number then place the order from there :)… Read more

I feel like I have raved to multiple friends about Nep and how unique and delicious it is. Nep is located across from Mile Square Regional Park and has ample parking. Every time I have been there, it has always been busy, even with its generous indoor and outdoor seating. I also appreciate how on top of it the servers always are and how they make sure you are well taken care of. Nep is known for their Banh Mi Chao, which is kind of like Bo Ne but with an "everything but the kitchen sink" vibe. I definitely recommend first-time visitors try this dish since it is really what makes them stand out. The tenderness of the beef mixes so well with the sauce, tomatoes, and pâté, while the banh mi acts as the perfect dipping vessel that ties everything together. Besides the Banh Mi Chao, there are so many other dishes that are equally mouthwatering, such as their Crab Toast (with a generous amount of crab and a creamy mouthfeel) and their new steamed egg dish with pork floss (a salty flavor balanced with custardy egg). In my opinion, no matter what dish you decide to get, you can guarantee it will be well-seasoned. Really excited to continue being a repeat customer and trying everything under their roof.
