    Bun with grilled pork and spring roll atop noodles.
    Mike W.

    I just happened in here on my way to the beach to go surf and very glad I did. I love quality Viet food--but so much in Florida (aside from Orlando) is lackluster. This is different, this is the real deal. You look at their menu and know it's legit at once--then there are the desserts which are also legit and remarkably so--very welcome. My bun bowl with skewered grilled pork and spring roll was absolutely perfect. Like, it seriously could not have been any better. Adrian, my waiter, was also excellent. My only critique--and it may seem a petty one--is the music was banal, trite, American and British pop hits from the early 2000s. There is so much good Viet pop and other Asian music--K-pop if nothing else--they could play, so why this? I don't want to hear the same music Kohl's plays at a restaurant so magical and delicious. But aside from the bad choice of tunes, this is a gem in full.

    The name is actually Mama's Pho and it was changed quite a while back! Our 2nd visit to Mama's Pho. Anyway, our first visit was about 6 months ago. Our first visit we had Ashlynn F as our server. We struck up a conversation with her on the first visit and found her to be friendly, professional and knew everything about the food and restaurant. So, as we drove over for our second visit we hoped Ashlynn would be there again. Well, our wish came true and we were greeted by Ashlynn when we walked through the doors. Not only did Ashlynn remember us, where we sat on our first visit but also what we ordered the first time!! Anyway if you want great food, great service and some drinks, with or without alcohol, give Mama's Pho a go and we don't think you'll be disappointed. See you next time Ashlynn

    I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered from Mama's kitchen. The ingredients are consistently fresh, the food is delicious, and it is prepared with care. It often looks so pretty that I have to snap a pic! I am a creature of habit so sometimes I order what I'm familiar with and know I like, but I've been having fun trying new menu items when I order from here because I trust them to be as good as the rest of the food I've tried.

    P2. Pho Tai Nam Large (steak & brisket)

    4.5 stars. I had a coupon, so I decided to check it out. I really did not know of a good place for pho in Volusia County, but I think I just discovered one. Although slightly on the pricey side for the portion size, the food is high-quality with an authentic taste. I am a vegetarian, and I saw only one vegetarian option on the menu. When I asked our server (who it seemed may have also been the owner), he pointed out 4 or 5 things he could make vegetarian for me with tofu. We got summer rolls made with crispy tofu, basil, and a yummy peanut sauce for dipping. I got a delicious vermicelli noodle dish with fried tofu, marinated sautéed mushrooms, and plenty of fresh veggies. Delish! My husband said the pho was spot-on although the portion size was slightly on the small side. They had a house-made spicy sauce to put in the pho that really made it a step above. My only real complaint is that they kept playing the same two songs over and over in the background. I will come back again.

    A roach in my pho
    Emily V.

    I was SO excited to try but being let down isn't even the correct term for what happened. The food and service was amazing but we found a ROACH in our pho!!!! I called the Florida department of health and they said this restaurant has "more dead roaches than they've ever seen" and will possibly get shut down. If you eat here, good luck

    Super clean, nice atmosphere
    Sounder A.

    Super good and authentic Viet dishes. Pho was very enjoyable, brisket and flank were cooked very well. Crispy spring rolls were excellent. I would go here every time I visit Daytona to try all of the options. Owner was very pleasant and visited or table a couple of times.

    Yummy! Papaya salad, pork skewers, and spring rolls. Bonus as most items were mostly low-carb

    Bun Thit Nuong
    Nick C.

    While Christmas shopping my partner discovered a Vietnamese Restuarant on International Speedway Blvd. Since the area is really void of any really good Asian cousine we decided to stop by for lunch. And we're really happy that we did. Mama's Kitchen features what we would consider Fusion Vietnamese cooking which is not a bad thing. Even though it was lunchtime the place was empty. And the dining room is surrounded by televisions on both sides of the place. That said, we were seated immediately and discovered the culinary passions of the place. We started off with the Spring Rolls. A standard Vietnamese appitizer these rolls consisted of prawns, pork, vermilelli noodles, wrapped in lettuce and rolled in rice paper accompanied by a very tasty peanut sauce. What differenciated these rolls from the ones that you can get from other Vietnamese places is that they were really fresh; the lettuce was crunchy fresh. A lot of places usually have these premade, but these were reallt fresh. The entrees were really good too. The winner was Bun Thit Nuong; which consisted of grilled 5 - spice pork, over vermicelli noodles that was served with an eggroll. The other dish; Com Chien was less spectacular consisting of fried rice with seafood, baby shrimp scallups, in a garlic butter sauce. It was basically a seafood fried rice. We both liked the place and it certainly filled us up. The only negative was the price. For $50 for lunch it is more reflective of the times that we live in but we did see a couple of people look over the menu and price and walk out. The food was good as well as our server. To be honest, it is one of the better Vietnamese places in the area, but nothing like Ah Hong in Orlando which we always go to when traveling down to Disney. But if you're in Daytona Beach, Mama's Kitchen is well worth checking out.

    P3. Pho Ga Small (chicken soup)

    Best pho I've ever had! If you're looking for an AMAZING Vietnamese restaurant, this is the one to go to. Amazing service! Server Ashlyn was very friendly and gave us great suggestions, she was so sweet and offered to box our noodles. I recommend a small if you usually don't eat a lot, their smalls are still very big! I had a chicken based pho and my partner had a beef based pho. We also had some wonderful egg rolls that aren't pictured but are definitely the best in town. I usually don't like softer noodles (just a personal preference) but these were superrrr good. I also usually hate chili oil but their's was top tier!!

    The food here is amazing, the portions are massive! Super speedy service, and the restaurant is extremely clean and has a very relaxing feel. I'd rate it higher if I could!!

    P4. Pho Rau Large
    Rick C.

    I was looking for Vietnamese vegetarian options at Mama's Kitchen and found pho rao. The pho rao has a clear vegetable broth with carrots and cabbage and tofu (I asked them to prepare it without onions.). I added bean spouts, jalapeños, and lime from the fresh condiment plate. The soup was flavorful hearty with plenty of vegetables. To my surprise, the pho rao does not have rice noodles, but the large size bowl was very filling. I also got the seafood fried rice to share at the table and a Thai tea. The fried rice came out first and was devoured in minutes. The Thai tea was refreshing and cold. Make sure to stir the condensed milk! Our server was fun and energetic. The restaurant was clean and well kept. The dining area is open and nicely decorated. There are large screen TV's on one side of the room. There was plenty of parking on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is located directly across the Daytona Speedway.

    What a great find! We visited Macker Seafood on the 4th of July and had a wonderful experience…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The clam chowder was rich, hearty, and loaded with clams and other delicious ingredients. We also took advantage of their happy hour special with $1 raw oysters, which were fresh and delicious. The fried fish and fried shrimp specials were both excellent--lightly battered, perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy. We paired everything with a couple of beers and sweet tea, and it made for a fantastic meal. The service was outstanding. Lauren, our server, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Brian and Mama were also so welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, the clean restaurant (including the spotless restroom), and the background music, which was at just the right volume. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Macker Seafood if you're looking for fresh seafood, great service, and a relaxed dining experience!

What…read morewe had was very good and service was fine ut a bit quirky; the waitress was very chatty and seemed a bit spaced out at times (when we went in, 3 tables were seated, 3 or 4 empty and nothing on them, but she said it would be a while before they'd be wiped clean). We had chowder, raw oysters, lightly blackened mahi-mahi and peel/eat shrimp. No complaints with any. Peel/eat shrimp came with potatoes and corn, too-- nice surprise. Mahi-mahi came with tasty fries. Just a simple little place with basic menu; I guess I was hoping for a bit more variety and different dishes, this being the 3rd day of seafood fest! No complaints at all, but there are other places in the area with very good seafood, full bar, seating on the water, etc. (I thought this place could probably charge much more, being just as it is, if it were anywhere near the actual beach or waterway).

Seated outside, but that was ok on the overcast day, and not hot at all (and lovely views, of course). Waitress was very good, friendly and everything got served right and well. Small tip if you are into the fruity drinks--- they had special mugs and change-color plastic glasses for extra $.....but the drink amounts in those is larger than the regular. I paid an extra buck for the color-changing class and got a bigger drink. On to the food: we had clam chowder (good taste, according to the eater), fried calamari, peel and eat shrimp, and "crabby bites." I liked the taste of the small crab cakes, but the crab cake aficionado in the group did not (she has rarely said GOOD to any crab cakes outside of Maryland!). Peel and eat shrimp was quite good-- plain, without much spice added, but bigger than the shrimp at many places around here. Key lime pie was fine; not very tart but thick texture and filling, for sure. We thought/feared it might be more 'gimmicky,' given the name, but it was a solid seafood meal, for sure. Would gladly go back, if there weren't so many other great places along the coast!

I don't even know where to start except with FUN!! You have choices depending on your mood. Want to cool off and enjoy dinner in the A/C? You can. Want more of a party? Head downstairs for karaoke or live music, where dancing customers are completely normal and part of the fun. The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, attentive, and funny. Our food came out so fast that I was honestly a little nervous--but NOPE. Perfecto! I didn't get a picture of the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich, but it was SO good. The salmon was cooked perfectly without being overdone. The fries are to die for, and those tacos? If I lived nearby, they would easily be a once-a-week meal for me. The drinks were wonderful, too. The Moscato was fresh, bubbly, and ice cold--exactly how it should be. We enjoyed this place so much that we went back three times during our short stay. The food, drinks, atmosphere, service, and just plain fun of the place all came together. That's what earns five stars from me.
