    Fast and great service. I ordered the beef rib pho and it was huge and very good. My husband got the traditional pho he liked it as well. We got the bbq spring rolls very yummy. They ran out of thai tea and they suggested Olong tea and they wouldn't charge me on the Boba- not sweet at all, perfect for dinner. Nice decorative restaurant tons of space.

    Finally!

    June 2026 - customers since 6/2012, we totally love Mama Hongs. Food is consistent and staff are efficient and genuinely friendly. After 14 years time to update the review. Totally love their entire menu especially..., Fried ground chicken egg rolls Traditional Spring rolls non-fried Fried Tofu with spicy garlic sauce on the side Beef rib pho Beef stew with French bread Must try lemongrass ginger drink

    THIS is what $20 bucks gets you...oof.

    I hate to say I, but shrink-flation has come to my beloved Mama Hongs :( I ordered my go-to delicious Spicy Garlic Chicken Rice and got this, a to-go bowl with some rice and 7 chunks of chicken...all for the low low price of $20! Guess I will not be going back.

    Not what it used to be! We used to love this spot years ago for a casual dinner in Burbank. We decided to come for dinner yesterday to see if it was still the same. Upon arrival we noticed a busy server that seemed to be by herself. We were asked to seat ourselves wherever was open. We sat by the window at a table that wasn't properly wiped down and seats full of crumbs. While waiting for our order we were getting attacked by gnats. Service is average (because of it being short staffed which I totally understand) and cleanliness seems to be last on their list. They also don't have fountain drinks and soda comes in bottles. The coke I ordered was flat lol. Thank you to whoever removed that from our bill. Overall, food is decent and definitely not as good as it used to be.

    Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen is an Asian owned restaurant recognized for its contemporary approach to traditional Vietnamese comfort food. The restaurant was established in 2012 by Lan Pham, a third generation restaurateur. Lan Pham founded the kitchen as a tribute to his mother ("Mama Hong"), intending to share her "top secret" family recipes with the community. The business focuses on delivering a dining experience that combines authentic flavors with heartwarming family hospitality. The restaurant features a stylized olive-and-back facade and a modern interior with clean lines and rope-string mirrored walls, giving it a trendy yet relaxed feel. It's casual, family friendly, suitable for group, dates, or solo dining. Service is friendly and attentive, though it can get very busy during peak hours and weekends. Notable items include the Premium Sliced Filet Mignon Pho, Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodles, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Beef Ribs Pho, and Traditional Combo with wagyu steak, brisket, and tendon. Popular appetizers are The Ribeye Steak Spring Rolls and Crispy Chicken Wings. The kitchen also offers a wide selection of Banh Mi sandwiches, spring rolls, vermicelli dishes, and vegan/vegetarian options. Lunch specials are available on weekdays (11 AM-3 PM), featuring combos like an appetizer with pho or a grilled plate. They also serve a variety of iced tea, such as Oolong Milk Iced Tea and Mango Jasmine Iced Tea, often presented in signature custom bottles. Price ranges from $10-$20 per person, offering significant value due to the large serving size. We like all the food that we have tried here. Everything was tasty and delicious. Our favorites are the Shaken Beef with Rice, Spicy Garlic Tofu, Ribeye Spring Rolls, Grilled Ribeye Steak Sandwich, and Filet Mignon Pho. A large 5-story free parking garage is located directly behind the restaurant. Free street parking is available on N San Fernando Blvd and surrounding streets. Additional free public parking structures are within easy walking distance throughout the Downtown Burbank area. For a longer visit, you can also park at the nearby Burbank Town Center Mall and walk to the restaurant.

    Pho is a great dish to eat at any time of the day. To me, the most important part of the dish is the quality of the broth. If the broth doesn't taste great, then the other food items in the bowl won't taste as good since they won't absorb the flavor as much. I'm happy to say that Mama Hong's has that trait in their selections of pho. The restaurant is in the heart of Downtown Burbank and is close to the AMC Burbank 16. It's very convenient to walk right on over for lunch or dinner if you're done watching a movie. Customer service is good as well.

    A super solid place to stop by, especially before catching a movie at The Burbank 16. I literally walk pass by this place all the time on my way to the movie theater. Finally got a chance to come-in & I'm glad that I did. Although, I have my "go-to whole-in-the-wall Vietnamese" place in the SFV, there's always room for more businesses to support & Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Burbank definitely deserves your patronage. It's a welcome step-up from your typical no-frills Vietnamese place, so the vibe / decor is especially great if you're introducing someone to Vietnamese cuisine for their first time. FOOD **PRO TIP: Go "Family-Style" = split multiple dishes amongst your table so you can have the opportunity to try multiple delishes dishes at once. That's the move. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - 9.2 / 10 **GET THIS DISH!!!!!** I did my "due diligence" before coming here & I 100% knew that I wanted to try this particular dish as soon as I came into the restaurant. In fact, the person whom I came here with wanted this too. (She didn't tell me in-advance). Needless to say, when multiple people have the exact same dish in-mind, you know that this is a good sign. Strips of lean, tender, juicy, quality, tenderloin steak, well-sautéed onions, plenty of garlic, served on top of a bed of al dente noodles. What's not to love? It's like eating a big, bowl, or spaghetti, but without the overpowering tomato sauce. Don't let the simplicity fool you. Yeah, I could very, well likely make this dish as home, but sometime it' just nice to leave some things to the pros. You can't go wrong with this dish. It sounds delicious in theory & it delivers on all fronts in reality. Spicy Garlic Chicken Rice - 8.9 / 10 A nice counterpoint to the heavier beef dishes that are offered, the well-seasoned, not-overly dry, but not-too spicy chicken is substantial. Round that off with an adequate portion of perfectly-steamed white rice & some fresh veggies (your standard pickled carrots, daikon radish, & lettuce), & you got yourself a solid chicken dish. Grilled Ribeye Steak Sandwich - 9.1 / 10 I hadn't had breakfast, so I was definitely craving a bit more to satisfy my hunger. This beef variant of a traditional Vietnamese Bahn-Mi hit the spot. Since I'm used to eating more economical + fattier cuts of beef for my bahn-mi, it's a rather welcome + modern twist to be using more premium cuts of steak (I honestly might steal this move the next time I whip-up a bahn-mi at home). It was hearty & you can definitely tell that the quality is there. I could be mistaken, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some fish sauce that was used to marinade the steak. It makes for such a well-rounded, savory flavor. The crisp veggies, & aromatic cilantro round-out all taste sensations on a fresh baguette. In many ways, this is the fancier, upgraded, "Rolls Royce", of a typical whole-in-the wall Vietnamese spot's bahn-mi, & that is sometimes what you want. I would definitely get this again, especially if I was on-the-go. DRINKS Mango Jasmine Iced Tea - 8.9 / 10 Don't sleep on Mama Hong's handcrafted beverages. The mango jasmine iced tea provides everything that I want in a thirst-quenching drink. You get the tropical tones of the mango offset by the herbaceous jasmine of the tea. I really appreciate that it's not overly sweet. I especially dig that their handcrafted beverages come in customized branded plastic packaging with that soda-can lever-opener-style lid. You just don't get that anywhere. The staff is beyond accommodating. Shout-out to Mariska for being such a friendly & warm server. Granted, I came on a Sunday afternoon (around 2pm-3:30pm), don't be surprised if you have to wait because I can see this place being quite the trendy spot. Granted it's casual, it's still feels a bit nicer/fancier than the more relaxed bars, fast-casual spots in the surrounding area. You can't go wrong with Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Burbank. A solid choice, indeed.

    Not sure if he was the owner or manager but a very kind and thoughtful worker on Sunday 1/25 around 3pm made our dining experience one for the books. He made sure my daughter's bday was extra magical by bringing her ice cream (from a shop a few doors down since they don't have ice cream here). My daughter LOVES pho and this made it even better and brighter. The food was great. The service even better. Come give this place a shot. Worth the wait.

    Whats up with the inconsistency? Really trying to understand what makes it difficult to complete an order.

    My wife was craving some 'home cooking' on our way back to the valley from DTLA so we swung by Mama Hong's for some Pho for her & our boys, and a plate of bo luc lac for me. We got there at peak dinner time so, as expected, we needed to wait a bit for a table to accommodate all 5 of us. But, surprisingly, even with it being a small restaurant and them being busy, we ended up getting seated quite quickly. Service here was good, nothing amazing, but they did get our order quickly and did their best to get it cooked and out to us as fast as possible. I just wish we had one or two more checkins as we found ourselves in need of some extra napkins and some plastic silverware that's more suitable for our younger boys. The food here was good. For my bo luc lac, it was flavorful and the chunks of beef was large. I just wish there was maybe one or more pieces for the price I was paying. My wife, on the other hand, was really impressed with the pho. She is understandably quite picky on her pho as she grew up with her grandmother making it from scratch almost weekly but after just a few bites she said how good it was. It was one of the best reactions I've seen her have towards pho since we moved out of the greater Westminster area and up to Los Angeles. And if she is going to give it praise, then her word should hold infinitely more weight than anything I have to say. In all, while Mama Hong's isn't the closest of Vietnamese restaurants for us, I know for sure the next time my wife is craving the food she grew up on, she will look for an excuse to come over to Burbank for another bowl.

    I didn't think it was possible to find yummy pho in the valley but it's here. We were immediately seated and our server was very kind. I wanted a comforting bowl of pho and ordered the one with filet mignon. It was delicious, I absolutely loved the broth(which is the most important part). The meat was tender and soft. It was balanced and yummy! Their tofu garlic noodles are also delicious (will be ordering those next time). I will be back for more pho for Mama Hong!

    Mango and peach jasmine teas! Absolutely delicious!
    Jason L.

    This place has always been a staple for me when I visit the AMC Burbank theater and it still doesn't fail to disappoint. I went yesterday night before catching a movie and ordered a spring roll and a porkchop vermicelli bowl. Both were good and hearty. The service was fast and the waiter was very prompt with everything we asked for. Overall, another great experience at Mama Hong's!

    Food is always amazing. There a a couple of Vietnamese places near my home but I come to Burbank to eat here. The pho is so flavorful. I also got the Bahn Mi and took half of it home. Can't wait until I'm out this way again. The staff is engaging and treat you like you were their only client.

According to other reviews that I have read earlier today, the restaurant is under new management/ownership. Walked in today around 4:45pm and got a very nice, warm welcome from Alex - the owner himself. He told me to have a seat anywhere that I wanted, so I did. Alex himself took my order and the food came out pretty quickly and fast. I was very hungry so I got 2 main entrées and their regular small salad with peanut dressing. Ordered their Pad See Ew with beef & shrimp that also came with well cooked broccoli. I also got their crab fried rice and stayed with my water. Both entrees were cooked really well and were hot & tasty. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit overcooked and hard to chew. A lot of to-go orders and delivery/pick up by 3rd parties.

It was packed when we went, which gave the room a lively energy, but it still felt cozy rather than chaotic. Once the bowls arrived, any skepticism disappeared pretty quickly. The broth was much richer and more flavorful than either of us expected, with that creamy, savory quality you want from a comforting bowl of ramen. We both finished ours. I had the No. 9 Truffle Salt Ramen and added fried dumplings to mine. The dumplings gave the bowl a nice crispy contrast, and the truffle flavor came through without overpowering everything else. The funniest part is that neither of us walked in specifically looking for vegan ramen. We just wanted a good bowl of ramen, and that's exactly what we got. Parking is available in the shared plaza lot, but keep in mind those spaces are shared with the neighboring businesses. Street parking is another option if the lot is full. My friend may not have realized he was taking us for vegan ramen, but I'm giving him full credit for the accidental discovery.

    I visited Kopan Sushi & Ramen with my family, and the salmon was exceptionally fresh and delicious…read more The sushi dish I ordered was amazing as well. This visit completely changed my perception of Kopan Ramen for the better. My daughter loved it so much that she immediately asked to come back next time. The staff was friendly, responsive, and provided fast, attentive service. The interior design and lighting created a wonderful atmosphere--it truly deserves a full 5-star rating in every aspect. On top of that, both the restrooms and the overall dining area were spotless. We were completely satisfied with every single detail!

We…read morefinally stopped by to give them a shot and we've been kicking ourselves for sleeping on this place! You place your name on the waitlist and they'll call you when your table is ready. Depending on what time you go, it could take a while but it's worth the wait. The interior decor is really nice and will make you forget that you're in downtown Burbank. It was also surprisingly spotless considering the quick turnaround once a table opens up (major props to the staff cleaning the tables). We each tried a bento box for our entrees - I had the Chicken Cutlet with California Roll while my wife had Bulgogi with Avocado Roll. Both came with rice, salad, and Miso Soup. Even in summer, the Miso Soup hits the spot! One of the better ones we've tried. The Chicken Cutlet and Bulgogi were nice and tasty. Our sushi rolls are safe options (obviously) but dependable as well. Overall we loved Kopan and can't wait to come back to try more of their menu! Great service, good food and good times! And not for nothing, but the restrooms are top-notch as well!

I was craving Thai but didn't know where would be a good place. Found Thai SA while searching, saw it had great reviews and figured I'd give it a shot since I love trying new places. The food was absolutely delicious (my mouth is watering just thinking about it and I honestly might grab some more today) and the taro tea was perfect (I am so happy it's dairy free). My son is very picky with his fried rice but he loved the food from here too. Filling and satisfying portions. So glad they are close by. My friend informed me that this place is a food truck which I had not known, not that that changes anything about my opinion, just something I didn't know prior.

We…read moreordered the Tom Kha soup, shrimp fried rice, and orange chicken with white rice, OMG!! 100/10 Everything was amazing (like always). It was really cold out, so the soup hit perfectly. Sai (the owner) is the sweetest, so adorable and welcoming. She makes you feel at home, like an auntie taking care of you, I love her! and that makes the whole experience even better. The outdoor ambience is super cute and romantic with the lights, such a vibe. Every time I'm in Burbank, I have to stop by for their soup. Honestly, everything she makes is delicious.

    Stopped by craving pho and happened to find this place on Google Maps. Tried the pork spring roll…read morewhich was refreshing and included a decent amount of meat, vege, and vermicelli. Beef pho hit the spot, perfect temp broth to wilt the herbs and sprouts, savory flavor, and tasty meats. The taco was a surprising hit, beef was the same from the pho topped with pickled onions. Must have with a spritz of lime and sriracha. Service was great, server was helpful, and friendly. Talked about the specials and took care of the rest. The restaurant has a charming fresh feel, nice decor and ample seating for groups. It was a little warm this summer afternoon but in all honesty it kinda added to the ambiance and reminded me a little of eating in Hanoi. All-in-all happy with my dining experience and will gladly add Lotus & Light in my pho round up.

    I have ordered here multiple times and i keep getting screwed over on takeout orders. I dont know…read moreif the cook just sucks or its management's orders but when you order a banh mi, it comes with jalapenos. I even verified with the girl on the phone when placing the order i wanted jalapenos. The banh mi has no jalapenos, half the sandwich is daikon and carrots with a cucumber and the thinnest layer of overcooked beef on top. I ordered last month 2 banh mi and egg rolls. Banh mi had no jalapenos either, the egg rolls were missing lettuce wraps and the sauce was half the to go container. I've eaten here in person and received lettuce when eating in the restaurant, their yelp photos show lettuce wraps with the egg rolls. But every time i ordered egg rolls for takeout it is missing lettuce wraps. The one time i ordered and got the lettuce wraps with egg rolls, i had to explicitly tell them to add it that time. I thought this placed served the food as it should be in their culture? I've held back leaving a bad review of this place because i thought they would somehow improve or it was a one off mistake but this was the final straw. Consistently screwing up or intentionally holding back ingredients on takeout orders crazy. How much are you actually saving by with holding lettuce, sauce, and jalapenos??? This place used to be good, now it's just another above average spot. If you want banh mi, go somewhere else and be less disappointed.
