Redesigned the interior to look like a cheap Chinese restaurant from what was a warm and cozy interior from the last restaurant to a hard cold interior The food reflects it's vacuous flavor. Been there twice for tasteless, uninspired food The counter staff are unhappy, and uncaring Felt ill shortly after both times and so did our friends Very disappointing Expected more from from a Michelin chef read more

I have to agree with a lot of the other reviewers: Mamahuhu is a good value for the money, but the menu is limited and the flavors are not subtle. Be aware that the kung pao chicken is very spicy (and I like spicy food). The broccoli and beef was uninspired and the egg rolls were flabby. We ordered the entrees as rice plates. Even though the mains were piping hot in the bowls we were served, the rice that accompanied them was at best room temperature and could have been much hotter. This is definitely more of a lunch or take-out only place. The interior is not conducive to staying very long: the lighting is very bright, and the wooden booths are not particularly comfortable. read more

Wish I could give 3.5 stars We got - Egg Rolls - Chow Mein - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Sweet and Sour Chicken - Mapo Tofu Really really loves the mapo tofu! Would get it every time!! Egg rolls weren't bad but I thought they tasted too oily. Didn't like the breading on either chicken dish :( too "bready"? A little soggy, thick and just meh. Chow mein was decent but I don't understand how to eat whole cherry tomatoes with noodles. Perhaps a 'me' problem. Forgot to mention... the tofu in the noodles felt way over-cooked and tough on the outside. Happy to have some more variety in dtmv read more

Oh dear, I was intrigued with the reviews that said: "unique spices, wonderful flavors,etc" Heres what I tasted: tomato sauce, vinegar and smoke flavoring in all the dishes. Thats it. I had to put chili sauce on everything just to drown out the overpowering tastes I mentioned. The fish dish smelled fishy too. Yuck! Very lackadaisical service too, and whats with the small bowls for food? I just don't get this "Chinese' restaurant at all. read more

Delicious! Just tried mamahuhu for the first time, got the pork ma po tofu and the chow mein w/curry and everything was incredibly tasty. I struggle to find high quality Asian flavors in Marin, this is a breath of fresh air and I'll definitely be going back. The ma po tofu is spicy as some of the reviews say, but this is STANDARD for this type of dish. Adds that extra level of heat that makes it so satisfying. Ate too quickly to get any photos. read more

We love this place so much! The sweet & sour cauliflower is unbelievably delicious -- crunchy, soft, sweet & sour all at once. A taste sensation! Also, everyone is so friendly. And it's great for the kids too, with an art area in the back with crayons. Amazing! read more

A much needed restaurant in Mill Valley, this Chinese restaurant has a California feel. This is a great place for vegans as well as omnivores. Everything we ordered tasted so good, I was not disappointed with any dish and we ordered about eight dishes. read more

Awesome chicken sandwich. Eat in leaves a lot to be desired, but their takeout is good

Many dishes prepared oddly, very sparse protein for the money. A few dishes taste pretty good but many have zero flavor or a poor mixture of flavors belying any claims to authenticity. Contrast this restaurant with Tommy's Wok in Sausalito, if you want to see what I mean. Mamahuhu's forces a 1% "donation" to a company that makes money off the carbon hustle (zero foodprint). read more

Yay! So happy Mamahuhu has landed in Mill Valley! Super fresh, delicious Chinese-American classics - and everything is available as a vegetarian option!! Love this, And they're really good at executing the veggie dishes- the textures and flavors don't suffer at and stay true to the original dishes :) My favorites are the Mapo Tofu, and the Boba Soft Serve. OMG, they have just that one Soft Serve on the menu and nothing else and I would STILL COME HERE EVERY DAY! It's seriously good! (And vegan, and dairy-free, if you care about that!) Staff is super friendly, clean, cute dining room. Our new go to spot! We love it! read more

We have had take out from here a few times now and it hasn't disappointed. Lots of vegetarian options and high quality ingredients. Enjoyed the MSG chicken. read more

The crazy part isn't just that the food is amazing and that every menu item is to die for but the crazy part is that the counter service is better than any table service that you will get in any restaurant in marin county..... I've been to this restaurant about 12 × 1 times Found it by sheer accident.And what a good accident it is read more

I can't help but feel a little disappointed by the menu and by the food itself. Maybe my expectations were too high. The food is good, but I don't think I can call it great or excellent. Service was great though. No complaints there read more

I love the authentic flavors and spices! We no longer have to drive all the way into the city for their mapo tofu. This is exactly what Marin needed! read more

This is my new go to spot in marin, I absolutely love it. Incredible flavors, super high quality ingredients, great friendly people running the restaurant (Michelle is amazing and so kind!), the food is ready fast, and I love the ambiance. Also, there are tons of incredible vegetarian and vegan options, including their AMAZING vegan soft serve. I'm not even vegan but it's the best dessert in mill valley. The sweet and sour chicken or cauliflower are amazing, the chow mein is delicious, the mapo tofu is great, the broccoli and mushrooms is also amazing and so healthy, and I'm excited to try more. They cook the vegetables perfectly and make eating vegetables exciting. And if you're looking for vegan Chinese food, this is your spot! read more

Mediocre at best. My zihu chicken was tough and the cauliflower cold. I was offered the chance to pay a 22% tip for counter service and bus your own dishes please. No offence but not again read more

Great food, reasonable prices. Only gripe is to bring back the Kung Pao Chicken!!! Was our favorite dish by far, ordered it every time. The new fried chicken dish doesn't measure up (and a bit overly spicy if you really mix in the chili pepper sauce). Jade fried rice is awesome. Broccoli beef is a delicious take on a classic dish. Been meaning to try the Mapo Tofu, but waiting on the return of the Kung Pao. Overall, great spot with delicious food. read more

Excellent service with really tasty food. We have egg rolls, broccoli and beef, jasmine rice and sweet crispy chicken sandwich.

The tomato garlic chow mein with curry powder is very good and savory! I was pleasantly surprised. I also had the hot and sour soup and it was very delicious. Would go back to try other menu items! I ordered takeout and the lady at the front window was incredibly sweet. read more

The best thing about this place is the name. While the service is fine, the food is really greasy and salty. Every meat dish is deep-fried, tons of oil in the Mapo tofu, and the tea is served in a metal cup that's too hot to hold much less drink out of. read more

Got the sweet sour chicken sandwich - so unique and delicious on the pineapple bun - and mushroom mapo tofu rice plate - so great to find vegetarian mapo tofu. Tasty high quality boba tea too. read more

Just right, just enough and on time! Loved the quiet location. I don't have food pictures because I ate it all!!

Tried the spicy chicken sandwich... A1! Amazing flavor and texture. Also tried the cucumber salad... equally as great. Not sure why reviews aren't higher. Definitely worth it!!! read more

Had such high hopes for this location as Mill Valley badly needs it. But the food is not only unpredictable from visit to visit, but the quality trajectory has been downward over time. I hope they get their act together; if this were in SF it would already be closed, I reckon. read more

Not sure why it's only 3.7 stars. The food is absolutely delicious!! As a Chinese person, this hits the perfect balance of authentic Chinese food and Chinese American food. The staff is also great and so friendly! read more

Haters: STOP COMPLAINING. If you don't like it then don't go or go to Pings instead. Plus it's bad karma. Ownership invested a lot of cash in bringing something different to Marin. C'mon people this team KNOWS wtf they're doing and is doing it their way. They have the right. Oh those who complain about too salty that's subjective af. I actually thought my food was perfectly seasoned. It's Chinese food for god sakes it has soy sauce, fish sauce, etc. it's supposed to be salty. Cabbage Crunch: creamy crunchy fresh umami DELISH Broccoli Beef Plate: tender beef, superb veg, rice, get some chili paste hot sauce. Chx Sando: heavenly, standout bun, crispy battered Chx, aioli, other delicious stuff Nice beer list Super clean bright semi modernistic. Solid staff. Great spot. Yeah. Positive vibes. MMHH is doing it right. Relax haters. read more

It's hard to find high quality Chinese food - fast casual by a Michelin rated chef. It's so good to see this food in Marin. We need more of it! The ma po tofu is spicy but flavorful, and the tomato noodles are good. We got rice plates as that was cheaper and ended with the boba ice cream which is vegan and amazing. Actually the entire menu can be made vegan. I just wish they had a broccoli and tofu dish. As a vegetarian that is my favorite and has protein. read more

So happy this has come to Marin, being Cantonese, it is so awesome to see this restaurant kill it on the food scene. Love that I do not have to go to SF anymore. High quality, tasty dishes that never disappoint and are consistently good. Literally everything on the menu is excellent. read more

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Better than the best in the bay. The icecream was also really good. For being dairy-free they were amazing read more

I've tried many Chinese American restaurants in the Bay, but I'd say, this is the most friendliest and casual dining experience I have had. The quality of the food is topnotch. To the model-like hostess at the register that my eyes were drawn to her beauty; my girlfriend couldn't resist to compliment on her red lipstick and style (Bay Area has some exotic fashion peeps), and to the party pleasing server, whoever he is, he kept our conversation hella funny and memorable. He complimented on my jacket which was nice of him, I liked his service for checking up on how we were doing since its our first time here. I don't usually write reviews but the hostess gave me a soft serve card to come back to try the banana soft serve and to talk about my first time dinner here. It seems like the restaurant is fairly new, it's just tucked off in downtown Mill Valley and can be difficult to find. Supposedly the soft serve machine wasn't working when I was there and I really wanted to try it because my wife is a fanatic about vegan dishes and desserts! But I'll be back to use this soft serve card before it expires. read more

A small selection of really great food at this place definitely should try it atleast once anything you get is delicious i usually get the rice plate w broccoli beef & add an eggroll or you cant go wrong w their SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH! 10/10 ALSO GET THE BOBA SOFT SERVE !!!! 100/10 read more

We ordered 4 different things, all vegetarian. A couple of the dishes were fine but not delicious. There was nothing special or unique. Everything was extremely saucy, salty and soy sauce heavy. The sweet and sour cauliflower had a cloying sweetness. The kung pao tofu was so bad that we couldn't eat it. The tofu had an awful, smoked flavor, and the dish was over the top spicy. Very overpriced for the taste and quality. I had high hopes for this place, but, sadly, we won't be going back. Tommy's Wok in Sausalito is still the only decent Chinese restaurant in Marin. read more

Great food but what a shame that they ripped out all the beautiful mill work from the old beerworks space!

I found the food salty, dry and oddly smoky. It also seemed a lot more expensive than comparable dishes from other local restaurants. I appreciate the vegetarian options, but won't be back. read more

Pretty easily the best restaurant in Mill Valley and a much-needed diversifier in an otherwise somewhat bland dining scene. The staff are also sooooo nice. I stop here every time I'm in the area read more

I was waiting for this and was disappointed. Food is boring, interiors look like a children's cafeteria. So bummed, I wanted this place to be so much more than it was. Kung Pao chicken was extremely salty and I like salty food. Would not recommend read more

1st takeout order was just okay. Broccoli with Mushrooms had good flavor and was a nice vegetarian dish. The Kung Pao tofu has smoked tofu which made the dish taste awful. Side veggies and jade rice were good. On our 2nd takeout order, we tried the Sweet and Sour chicken and the Broccoli Beef. The chicken was so over battered that it ended up being about 30% chicken and 70% batter, so essentially you're eating fried flour batter. Pineapple was smoked, good flavor, and veggies were just ok. The Broccoli beef had good flavor but the sauce was so thin, it ended up leaking through the container. Not much beef for the $17 price tag, but plenty of broccoli and cauliflower. Not sure that we'll go back... read more

Looking to spice up your palette? Chinese fusion featuring Mapu Tofu, Broccoli Beef plus more. Airy cheerful order-at-the-counter spot for quick meal. Counter staff duper friendly. The soft serve vegan boba ice cream is fabulous read more

Great takeout and super yummy flavors! If you are a foodie coming from sf, you know how badly Marin needed this restaurant! Fresh, vibrant, different takes on typical Chinese / Asian dishes! read more

New place in mill valley. Restaurant looks great with all the plants and open light coming out. Chicken sandwich is the best one I have ever had. Would come back again very soon. Don't forget to try the sandwich and soft serve. read more
