One of my favorite hole-in-the-wall spots serving amazing wontons and noodle soups! It is a very small store with one table and some wall seating, so I recommend ordering to go. My favorites include the House Special Ma Ma Noodle Soup which has a bit of everything in it, the Hot and Spicy Wontons, and the Braised Beef Noodle soup. Their wontons are homemade and packed with so much flavor. They have 5 options for noodles and make everything right in front of you. The older couple who runs the spot are always so sweet and polite. Don't miss out on the cheap drinks - the homemade Chinese herbal tea is a must get! read more

I've been here a few times before and had ordered their House Special Ma Ma noodle soup. They were able to make it nonspicy for me which I appreciated. I remember it being really good. I liked all the toppings that it came with! This time I ordered the wonton and dumpling noodle soup. It came with 3 wonton, 2 dumplings, and some bok choy. Not sure if it was because I did takeout and my noodle soup was overcooking in its container, but the dumpling skin was mushy and falling apart from the meaty party of the dumpling, and the bok choy was also a dull green color. Either it was overcooked or old bok choy. They tasted fine, except maybe one was a bit bitter. I was also expecting egg noodle, but it came default udon noodles (you can ask them to change noodles, I just didn't ask). The broth wasn't flavorful either. Although this dish was a miss, I would come back for their other dishes!! Cash only establishment, or you can zelle them. read more

I came to grab an order of the shrimp dumpling noodle soup to go. The place is very small, but there is an area by the window with chairs to sit and eat. There was a pile of dumpling wrappers and a mound of stuffing laying out on the table. The lady was very nice when she took my order. It was ready in a few minutes. I couldn't wait to taste it. I loved the shrimp dumplings. The noodles were too soft. The broth was very mild tasting. Overall it was very satisfying. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back here. read more

Cute small shop tucked away in the corner of a street. The restaurant is small maybe barely 500 sq ft but on a cold rainy day when we visited, it felt welcoming and warm. Although there are no fancy decorations nor furniture, we opted to dine in since there weren't others when we visited. We did see multiple people coming in for take out orders. The ambiance feels like a small coffee shop/food stall with window seating but instead they serve delicious comfort Chinese food. We got: - House special Mama Noodle 10/10 - Basil Chicken Ho Fun 10/10 - Herbal Tea 10/10 Everything was so tasty here. It's the perfect comfort food. The Mama Noodle is the best version of beef noodle soup I've had. I never liked how simple beef noodle soup is but this version is loaded with everything. You not only get the tender & juicy beef cube and homemade noodles - you also get curry fish balls, tofu, hard boiled eggs, topped with plenty of vegetables! It's so good especially on a cold rainy day. The perfect dish. We wanted to try a dry noodle dish as well and the basil ho fun was delicious! One of the highlight was the house made (ground pork/shallot?) chili sauce that she gave to us along with some black vinegar. Definitely ask for some of that sauces with any order!! It tastes good on everything.... The herbal tea has the right mixture of bitter and sweet. Other places either have it too sweet or too bitter. It's so satisfying to wash down everything with the herbal tea at the end of the meal. Before you go, don't forget to grab some frozen house-made dumplings to cook for later. We got 30 pieces and it was only $12. The owners were very generous with the fillings. I never want to buy frozen dumplings from grocery stores anymore! You have these options: - shrimp wonton - pork dumpling - pork chive dumplings The shrimp wonton and the pork chives are my favorite! read more

This is a small restaurant with mainly take away orders. There are 4 chairs total. We decided to eat there since we were ordering house special soup. We ordered Hot and Spicy Wonton, Minced Pork Noodle & House Special Ma Ma Noodle Soup. Spicy wontons were full of meat and delicious. The minced pork noodles had the same spicy bean sauce as the wontons. I ordered the house special Ma Ma noodle soup with potato noodles. The soy sauce egg was a tad sweet than what I preferred. There were 3 chucks of beef stew and 3 fishballs. Beef stew was tasty. Service was good as Ma Ma was very attentive. read more

This is a mom and pop restaurant. It's on the sidewalk street. You can easily overlook if you are not looking for it. The owner is very friendly. This place has cook and frozen dumplings and wontons. I was surprised to see frozen wontons so I ordered some to take home. I got the Tom Yum Noodle and the mixed pork noodle. Both noodles are very flavorful. If you stopped by the restaurant, don't forget to try the hot oil. read more

I was craving dumplings in this cold weather so I stopped by Mama's Noodle House! With features in the NYT, they pride themselves on their home cooking, soup noodles, and dumplings. I got try their 3 dumplings (2 in soup form, 1 in fried form). Factoring the differences in preparation, I still think my favorite was the pork and chives ones just because I liked its seasoning profile better. The wontons were different from the ones I'm use to at more traditional canto places. This one is more pork-forward (less shrimp and white pepper flavors). The N4 I got was without noodles but I still got a generous serving of dumplings and veggies. The dumpling wrapping was fine - got a little mushy towards the end but still encased everything nicely. My partner's mama house special noodle was solid. The braised beef pieces were tender and well-seasoned. Noodles, fish balls, and the soup were good and pretty standard. Be sure to try them with their chili oil!! Not only is it warmed up but also with meat pieces packed with soy bean and chili flavors. Its not that spicy but complements the dumplings and noodles well! This mom and pop shop does have some seating but not a lot. They were super nice and a plus if you speak Cantonese. Cash preferred but they do have Zelle!!! read more

Mama's Noodle House - Shrimp chili, chili wonton, scallion pancake pancake - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I know it's a noodle house but the dumplings are so tasteful. Especially with the sauce. I ordered via Grubhub & I have to say the food came very fresh and very tasteful. The mama house special soup is amazing. The beef was tender and melt in your mouth. read more

Food - 5/5 Excellent food. We got the N.15 House Special Mama Noodle Soup; it comes spicy but you can ask for non spicy and the N.21 which is the Beef Stew w/ Minced Pork Paste Lo Mein (spicy). The House Special was loaded with beef stew, fishballs, and a soy sauce egg. The beef stew was tender, soft, braised to perfection. The soy sauce egg was excellent, I like to soak it in the soup. The lo mein was equally as good, it wasn't as saucy as I liked it to be and could use a little more flavor, but overall still a solid dish. Service- 5/5 It is a small shop runner by a Chinese grandpa and grandma that is take out only. They are really friendly to everyone and even have a candy bin out for kids! Ambiance - N/A it's a small mom and pops shop that only does take out. read more

The short: as soon as you walk into Mama's Noodle House, you can feel the food is made with love. If you sit and eat, and come back a second time, mama remembers you & you feel like you belong in her restaurant. Can't recommend this spot highly enough - everything is delicious. The longer: this is a relatively small spot, but mama has tables and chairs and will set you up if you want to sit down and eat, but it seems many also do takeout. Simply, everything I've eaten has been delicious. All the dumplings and wontons -- especially the fried dumplings and the hot & spicy steamed dumplings -- are incredible. Their noodle dishes (dry) are next level. Their soup broths are incredibly flavorful. They even make their own lemonade! You should definitely come here if you're in the area! read more

Ordered take out. Place is small, with a few seats. Ordered minced pork noodle, good, but a little dry. A little spicy. Order a drink with it! Hot pot fish, good. Comes with a huge portion of rice. read more

A small quaint place. Feels like being at your auntie's house. There are rice cookers in plain sight. Very homestyle food. Had the Singapore Mei Fun. It was okay in taste, but probably could use more curry to give it more flavor. Also tried their much touted dumplings, which is their best selling item. They were okay, but I didn't like the skin being so thick....but that's usually the way aunties make it. My preference is the thinner skin. Seating is scarce, so I suggest takeout. It's a super tiny place, with some low counter seating along the walls of the small dining area. Surprisingly they have a write up in the New York Times, touring their dumplings and it was a long time in the making before opening this store. Service. Everyone working there was super nice. Decor: a hodge podge of ingredients and cooking equipment, decorate the dining area, similar to like being at your auntie's house. read more

house special noodle soup is amazing, as are the hot and spicy wonton. Mama is also lovely!

The restaurant is the size of a shoebox. I'm surprised at how much food they're able to crank out. Not only because of the size of the restaurant but because it's essentially a 2-person business. The husband and wife are cooking, taking orders, handling payments, everything. I would like to see them have more cooks or help, but honestly, this restaurant won't fit it. The rice cooker is out in front of house by where customers sit and eat lol. I did have to compete with people waiting in store and the pile of online food orders. So even though I ordered ahead of time on the phone, I still ended up waiting 45 minutes for my food when I got there. I can't blame them really because they're so popular, but if I didnt witness how swamped they were and how small the space was, I'd definitely be upset. The lady gave me a drink on the house for waiting too. The food was absolutely amazing and affordable though. The spicy Minced Pork Noodle was out of this world. Highly recommend that. read more

Ordered the mama house special noodle and the minced pork noodle + fried dumplings + the herbal tea and the honey lemonade. Everything was amazing and the owners are so sweet! The minced pork noodle was better than the house special noodle imo. The fried dumplings were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! It's a MUST get. Its filling is tasty and the skin is crispy. The herbal tea also hits the spot, but it's not for everyone. I love herbal tea and I like drinks that aren't too sweet so this was perfectly done imo. The total came out to $26, which was super affordable. The honey lemonade was also the perfect amount of sweetness to lemon ratio. I highly recommend this spot, although just note that there's limited seating in here and if you dine in, the smoke and smells can stick on your clothes. read more

Mama's Noodle House - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm fairly surprised I forgot to review what has been one of my favorite pandemic gems. This tiny little hole in the wall is run by the sweetest couple-- the husband stays behind the wok and the wife is gregarious and takes care of taking orders. Mama's Noodle House, even during the pandemic, was always busy with takeout orders and on my most recent visit, I am happy to report that nothing has changed (except for a very minor price hike). Some of my favorite things to order include the minced pork noodle ($8) which comes with cilantro and bean sprouts, and a healthy heap of their housemade chili oil atop fresh, chewy handmade noodles, and the basil beef stew ho fun ($11) which is a spicy stir-fried dish of housemade flat rice noodles (ho fun), onions, peppers, Thai basil, and tender chunks of beef brisket. Don't skip on their honey lemon drink ($1.50) either which is quite possible the BEST honey lemon drink I've ever had. The owner showed me the secret, which is to soak lemon slices in a honey syrup mixture. read more

Little gem in the neighborhood, very small space, is meant to grab and go. Owned and managed by an older and hard working very nice couple. I've been here multiple times and forget to write them a review. They are very consistent with the quality and the price is very affordable. I order most of the time the Tom Yum shrimp noodle soup, scallion pancake (always crispy!) and soy sauce eggs. read more

A mom and pop shop. The owners super welcoming and would greet you with a smile every time. Love how they make me feel like I'm at home when I'm there. Scallion pancake is extra crispy and it's so good The minced pork noodles: might be a bit spicy for some individuals but to me it's delicious. One of the dishes that I always order. beef stew basil ho fun: the beef stew is tender and has the right amount of flavor every time. Hot and spicy fish: everything in this dish is delicious. The veggies that come with it on the bottom after soaking up all the flavor is so good. Overall this place is delicious and service is excellent. Would recommend this to my friends and family!!! read more

Nice small hidden mom and pop shop. Food is good. They also sell home made frozen dumplings. Very small place, mostly to go orders.

A very quaint and warm little noodle shop literally owned by a mama and a pop. The broth was delicious and the beef stew was meaty and tender! The fried dumplings were fragrant and paired perfectly with the sweet vinegary soy sauce! They also have a bunch of other selections and some rice dishes as well. The pricing were very reasonable and it's definitely a good cheap eat! Please give them a try if you're in the area and I promise you won't regret it (: Thank you for reading and good luck! read more

Good food, cheap price. Fast service. Ambiance average, takeout is good. The food was good tasting the dumplings are verg delicous.

So I know that this review is departing from the norm and I hope to have my mind changed the next time I choose to visit, but this first time was unfortunately a disappointment to my husband and I. We were excited to try this place as we love noodles and anything authentic seems worth a try. The noodles really were delicious! So fresh and you could tell it wasn't packaged noodles. I got the minced pork noodles which was SPI-CY! (For me anyway lol but I still ate the whole thing =D). He got what was supposed to be the Ho fun noodles with chicken. Here is where the issue was, he ended up getting the regular noodles (that looked like udon like mine), but they gave him this dish in a soup which was totally wrong and not what he ordered (he did double check when he got in). They also left the scallions and parsley/cilantro in that we asked to be removed so that also altered the taste of the dishes negativity for us. It was terrible because we were both super hungry and it was too far away to make the trip back so he picked on some noodles and left the rest. I ate all of mine, but didn't enjoy as much as I would've hoped. The owners were super sweet and the noodles were delicious so I'm willing to try this place again and hopefully they get the orders right next time! Also he was charged $20 for the 2 noodle dishes which seemed more expensive than menu prices or ordering online.. read more

If knowing more about the story behind the food makes it taste better for you, wait till you hear about the storied past of the owners of Mama's Noodle House. 'Mama,' as one of the owners is fondly called, and her husband are chefs from Guangzhou, China and immigrated to Amsterdam in the 1970's. Mr. Liang spent over a decade cooking in Thai and Korean restaurants, and brought some of that influence onto the menu of Mama's Noodle House in Bensonhurst, which they opened just a couple years ago with a focus on hand pulled noodles and dumplings. On any given morning you can find 'Mama' making fresh dumplings, her fingers moving with speedy dexterity. It's pretty typical for them to sell out of these dumplings come afternoon. The neighborhood is more than privy to the delights of this small kitchen. I visited with a couple of friends recently, this just one stop on a food tour of Bensonhurst, and while our eyes were wider than our stomachs, we were realistic with our ordering and got just the scallion pancakes and a beef noodle soup with hand pulled noodles. Mama and her husband made polite conversation in Mandarin with me as they prepared the dishes. The scallion pancakes came with a fragrant chili oil that came with ground meat, and the noodle soup was large enough for the four of us to have generous spoonfuls of. While I wish we could've sampled more of the menu, just knowing the story, seeing the love and care that is put into the food, and getting to chat with the purveyors of these amazing dishes left a lasting impression on me. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Let's start with the house special noodle. The portion was pretty big and I wasn't able to finish it by myself. I ordered medium spicy but would probably get it more spicy next time. The broth was excellent. Full of flavor and had a surprisingly sweetness to it that I didn't expect. The noodles were delicious, bouncy, and chewy. The texture was on point. The egg is everything. I would've gotten an extra one if I could. NOW for the beef inside, oh my goodness. It is sooo good. It is so tender, literally falls right apart. It doesn't take much effort to chew and the flavor is spot on. The beef basil Ho fun was delicious. I honestly didn't expect these kind of flavors at a Chinese restaurant but I would definitely get it again. It reminded me a lot of Thai food. Honey lemon tea was refreshing as well The mama working there is so nice and let us dine in. I'll definitely be coming back here to try other dishes! read more

Small neighborhood restaurant with few seats so mainly for takeout. The owner and staff are both so friendly! My favorite things to order: scallion pancake( so crispy and flaky ), curry fish balls, and the wontons. I recently ordered here my usual plus some noodle dishes but I felt like it was not as good as I remembered it from a couple years ago. read more

Literally a hole in the wall spot where upon stepping into the place we weren't sure if we could dine in or not (no tables or restaurant style chairs). Instead there are some side table/shelves and some office chairs they prob found. Besides that let's get to the main part of the review where it matters the most...the food! Started off with the scallion pancakes. They came out super hot and super crunchy! Bit greasy but it was a rough work week so I was in the idgaf mood. Next up was the spicy wontons. These were fantastic. Each one was filled with a got portion of pork and shrimp. Surprisingly it wasn't as spicy. I prob would have preferred it if it was a bit more spicy. Lastly came the noodles. This dish reminded me of Dan Dan noodles. Noodles were nicely cooked, plenty of minced pork all around, the shower if cilantro top and bean sprouts make it complete. You can ask for more spicy if you desire more of a kick. Was yummy but a bit greasy as you get closer to the bottom where there sauce is. Def still good though. Finally (not pictured) i washed it all down with some Chinese herbal tea (served cold). Service was good since we were the only ones there (Friday afternoon). So food came out super quick. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick inexpensive meal. Also you're supporting a hard working mom and pop shop. read more
