We haven't had the best luck with asian food in the Orlando area in the past so our set our expectations pretty low when we decided to eat here. We wanted to order the lobster but they said they were sold out. I thought it was a sign that we should just leave but we decided to try a few dishes - snails with mango salad, razor clam with tamarind, escargot with lemongrass and grilled squid with satay. Everything we tried was good. The favorite was the mango salad. We ended up getting a second order because that's all my mom really liked. The razor clams were just ok. The tamarind sauce was good but I think I prefer grilled razor clams. For the escargot, we meant to order the stir fried version so it was our fault for not paying attention. The lemongrass broth was pretty good though. The grilled squid wasn't bad but we've had better. The sauces that went with the were ok as well. read more

Discovered this place back in 2023 and was very excited to come back with my picky eating parents while visiting Orlando. My mom enjoyed the meal very much and said it was probably the best thing she ate our whole trip. The hotpot is so good with a lot of flavor. Comes with a good assortment of meats, seafood and vegetables. Shared it amongst 3 adults and it was perfect. Restaurant is a nice size good for groups. Looking forward to visiting again in the future. Enjoy! read more

The peach iced tea with orange and lemongrass is the best, most refreshing drink on a hot day! It comes a little sweet for my taste, but nothing another cup of iced water to mix can't fix. It's almost like 2 drinks for the price of 1! The goi bo tai chanh had an amazing flavor with the herby salad and chopped, roasted peanuts. The sesame cracker was the perfect pairing for it. The com chien cua is the perfect filler dish to round out the whole meal. There's a good amount of crab and veggies in the fried rice and there are bits of crispy rice to add a crunchy texture. Loved it! The razor clams are a must-get and so interesting. True to Vietnamese flavors with the nuoc mam, peanuts, and mo hanh. So good! The only thing we didn't like were the apple snails. The meat itself was shriveled up and just did not taste good. The Thai sauce lacked a little flavor surprsingly. Overall, the food and service was great! read more

Mama Lau gave me one of the most authentic flavors in the Orlando area. This is the perfect place to have a comforting meal. The broth on the Bon bo hue and Pho were spectacular. All the spices and herbs were present in the flavor creating the right taste. The place is small, but very cozy and organized. Servers were nice enough to explain some dishes to people in my party who were not that familiar with the dishes. Definitely a must! read more

Mama Lau va Oc - Bon bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I love escargot and this restaurant has it. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that serve this type of food. They also has the razor clam. This restaurant serves some exotic food. Price is not cheap. We got two different escargot dishes. We have the steam escargot with lemon grass. We also got the grill escargot with sate. The lemon grass is like soup with escargot. This escargot has some sand in it. It can clean better. The grill escargot is the larger escargot. With sate sauce. Both dish is good. Value is just ok for the food. But value is just ok. May be the razor clam is better. read more

Goi oc is yummy. One of the great dish we had. Oc mong tay was also good. First time tried that ever. Tamarind sauce made that dish one of my favorite. Oc nuong tieu was also tasty. Hot vit lon was cooked to perfect not so soft or hard. Mixed in tamarind sauce was quite an experience. One of the surprised dish was com bo luc lac. It was cooked in high heat and provide awesome taste. It reminds me mi xao don in vietnam. I would order that that anytime. We ended the evening with hotpot and it was a good choice. It has all sort of flavors mixed in. The bad (not so good). None of the drinks we ordered were any good at all. Oc huong was hard and not marinated enough. Ngeu hap xa was not so fresh at all. Oc buou nuong muoi ot was so plain. The other com dishes were ok nothing special at all. I know I missed other dishes but none of them stood out. Overall it was quite expensive and small portion. There were some great unique dishes but the rest were nothing special. If you like spicy food you will be disappointed. Prepare to ask for more chili. The service was typical vietnamese. No smile from the waitress. The female owner was abit pushy when we started ordering the first few dishes. After we started ordering more she became more happy I would come again since it has some unique dishes. read more

Mama Lau va Oc This is actually my first time eat in a Vietnamese Restaurant so no to familiar with the food. I was helped by the nice girl and her brother. I have a bowl of noodle which I'm not sure what was actually in there but after test the first try, I can't stop eating . Delicious!! The lady come out and greet me. Very nice lady. In overall, I will definitely comeback!! read more

How is this place anything below 5 stars?? Don't let the other reviews fool you.. it's AMAZING! We stopped in at the referral of a friend who described the seafood as being absolutely to die for, and I must say that I agree! We ordered the cockles and oysters, and they were so unique and delicious. The cockles were topped with peanuts, fish sauce, green onion and egg mint, and the oysters were topped with green onions and egg mint, and both accompanied with a plate containing fish sauce, salt/pepper, lime and chilis. I loved the combination of flavors, and will never want to eat shellfish any other way. Can't wait to go back and try the razor clams and mussels next! Along with the seafood, my husband ordered the pho and I ordered the caramelized fish and pork. Now, I personally never order pho when we go out to eat because the broth is always just meh, and I prefer homemade, but I always taste his broth and this one was absolutely amazing! The amount of flavor and layers of complexity in the broth was by far the best I've tasted at a restaurant to date. I even ended up making a small bowl for myself! The caramelized fish and pork was also amazing! Not overly thick or sweet, and packed full of meat. I also want to mention that the service was really outstanding. I think our server may have been the owner, and he was just so nice and super friendly. Even when it took us forever to decide what to order (he stopped by twice to take our order and we still weren't ready), he was still smiling by the 3rd attempt and told us that we made some really good ordering choices. He checked back frequently, promptly cleared away empty dishes, brought togo boxes, and always did it with a smile and truly pleasant manner. I can't say enough great things about this place, and can't wait to come back and further explore the menu! read more

Vietnamese hotpot and shellfish at its finest! Mama Lua & Oc is a hidden gem in Orlando! I'm a fan of Vietnamese hotpot, and this restaurant takes it to the next level with their Vietnamese seafood hotpot. The broth was aromatic, and the menu selection was impressive.

Mama Lau has great authentic flavors and options. We were able to grab a jumbo sugar cane drink for each of us and a plate of razor clams. It was DELICIOUS. I am only giving it 3 stars because of expensive our bill came to be for 3 items. We were only stopping in for a refreshing drink but our bill came out to be $60 for a plate of razor clams and 2 jumbo sugar cane drinks. I wish the pricing was more transparent, we would have indulged in a bit more, but it did break the bank for us. It was a great experience in flavors but it was something out of our budget. read more

This place was recommend by a Vietnamese friend and it did not disappoint. We had a family style (shared) meal been 4 of us. 3 different snail dishes in different styles: * sweet coconut broth * lemongrass spicy broth * Salad One oyster dish, one clam, and one cockle... Wide variety of flavors and would like to go again. Maybe next time at least one rice or noodles dish to get a little more full read more

The first thing you notice when you come in, is a spacious and very welcoming vibe. The decorations are appealing and has a great atmosphere. The portions were a bit disappointing, I asked for rice and it was tiny, the thit kho portion only came with 2 pieces of pork belly and 2 eggs. Aside from the portion size, the canh Chua was SPOT ON. It was amazingly delicious and was one of the best ive had in a while. The snails were delicious for both the flavors I tried, super fresh as well. The mussels were surprisingly amazing. The combination they used, really highlighted the dish well. The service was a bit slow and when I asked for more rice, they didn't have any ready so I wasn't going to wait 20 mins for rice or my food would be cold. Overall it was a great experience, if you enjoy snails, I'd recommend coming here! read more

So I've been to this restaurant maybe 3-4 times total before I can truly give it a fair review. It offers a wide variety of escargot options and they're bursting with flavors. However in America customer service is everything and not that they're not nice or anything but they never seem to have enough staff on duty. First time I was there, it was just me and my husband and our 1yo. It wasn't too bad because no one really knows the place yet. Second time I was there, we came with my husband side of the family and ordered almost 500$ worth of food. There was a lot of food but it's kinda pricey here due to the fact that escargot in America is harder to find. Anyhow, we ordered a plain Pho for the kid at the table and it took all of us to remind them and still it did not come out till the end of our meal. Third time I was there, it was for Father's Day. We also ordered 200$ worth of food and it was with my side of the family. We ordered a seafood hotpot. To which the crab, tilapia, and shrimp for the seafood hotpot was NOT fresh and almost had a funk smell. I'm usually easy going but my brother and sis in law noticed that. We asked for extra okra and of course they're out. They're like a mad house. We ordered 3 cool drinks and it did not come till Middle of the meal and that's with 3-4 reminders. Our last escargot dish didn't come till we finished our main hot pot diner By that time no one wanted anymore so just my husband and I ate it. Food is good, They need more help though! It is a mad house! 3 stars because u have to keep reminding them to bring ur order out, mad house the whole time eating, there is nothing fun or relaxing about the whole experience aside from good flavorful escargot, and need to be prepared if you know you're going to e slammed for holidays. Need fresh ingredients in regards to seafood hotpot! read more

The first time we came here on a trip, the food prices here were a bit high, but every dish only had a few snails. In terms of seasoning every dish was too sweet, as for the hot pot dish we ordered a large pot for 7 people In principle vermicelli always included with hot pot but they charged extra for vermicelli while we didn't order it, this is too unreasonable, and the staff is not Friendly and not happy when serving customers. This is the first and last time I come here and not recommend read more

Came in with family and ordered egg rolls for one person. Later, it was noticed that the eggroll tasted sour and smelled sour as well. Upon letting the server know to not sell these to any more customers, some lady with her hair in a bun came out and began arguing about her business practices. She defended that she would not be dumb enough to sell rotten food. The Lau came out afterwards in which there seemed to be oxidized meat, which looked as if it had been left out for a while. Taste was fine, just hospitality and business practices were questionable and we were sat next to a splattered, stained wall. Ultimately, the experience early on really soured the mood and I can't say I'd recommend going here with family Apparently there was a gratuity we weren't informed of until after we were charged along with a $5 charge for using card. read more

The food was average but very overrated. They charge you 22% gratuity for 4 people or more which is ridiculous especially when i ordered 6 sugar cane drink to bring home after dining. And also they tried to add the tip on the food that i order Togo. Very Scam people.. Order Togo food over $100 and tried to add gratuity which is shameful... overall this place is okay but not worth going into again. No wonder why they were slow.. Ps: apparently they tried to flag my true opinion regarding this restaurant. read more

I'm Vietnamese. I had Vietnamese everywhere. And this place is authentic Vietnamese. Very good!

I always get the pho when coming here because it NEVER disappoints! This time I wanted to try their bun Bo hue but to my surprise it was not at all spicy even the broth wasn't as red as it normally is. It wasn't my first time having this soup so I told my server there was zero spice and she had said spicy is in the name but it is not spicy. That's a first and only here at this restaurant. Thankfully she brought out some spicy condiments to add to my soup. The soup was great as is but it was not spicy so to me it wasn't at all bun Bo hue. It was still delicious read more

If you truly Asian don't eat here we order 2 drink, 3 small dish of snail and 1 hot pot for over $200!!! My it so expensive, food not good at all.

We absolutely love this place because if you're not craving the typical Pho or BBH or rice dishes in Vietnamese culture, come here! They have the most expansive Vietnamese cuisine menu we have seen in Orlando! Your professional viet cuisine eaters definitely would love it here. The escargot is delicious. The snail in coconut sauce was delicious. Claypot fish was sooo savory. And my favorite was the raw beef salad appetizer. read more

I don't appreciate this place. Owner is rude. Food took very long times even the restaurant was steady at the time. We came with a group of 6 & ordered a bunch of stuffs to share, it became even worse because they missed our fried rice. I came to the counter to talk to the lady because we didn't have our fried rice, yet. She told me they didn't serve fried rice on that day which is the waitress forgot to tell us. She says sorry with an attitude. The girl (waitress) lately came to say sorry, she was more kind than the lady. People make mistakes every day, but at least you need to say sorry kindly. The 2 stars i give is for the waitress only. The food is not even that good. Never come back, i will not support this business. Người lớn thì nên ăn nói cho đàng hoàng. read more
