I had the pork banh mi and it was absolutely delicious. I planned on saving half for later but I ate the whole thing. Super tasty, I'll be back! read more

Sophia and I drove from the Peninsula through the rain (surprisingly smooth) to check this spot out, which opened up last year. The type of dishes they serve are Burmese food, which I never tried before. Would my first try be a home run or a strikeout? Walking inside, you can tell it was very chilled and laid back. They have a few tables and the decor is really nice. Very intimate for yours truly. Once we got settled, it was time for ordering. For apps, we had fresh shrimp spring rolls. Very good and full of ingredients. The peanut butter sauce was really creamy. A great condiment to the rolls indeed. The icing on the cake....Shan Khow Swae, which is their Burmese chicken noodle soup. It was absolutely delicious. Curry chicken in chicken broth topped with crushed peanuts....this was made with a lot of love. This came in handy on a rainy Winter day like yesterday. You know what I'm gonna say next: this will be a repeat. A wonderful visit all around. Till next time :) read more

I've visited Mommy Mom twice since they opened in February 2023 (3/14/23 & 10/2/23). Both visits were pleasant and I found the food to be excellent. Mommy Mom took over Miss Saigon. They are an Asian fusion restaurant, but they offer Burmese dishes. I was excited to try them out because I've never had Burmese cuisine. I'd like to believe Mommy Mom may be the first Burmese restaurant in Hampton Roads, but I can't be sure. At the least, this is, for me, the first time I've come across a Burmese restaurant locally. During my first visit I ordered the following: spring rolls for an appetizer; and for my entree, Kyae Oh (Pork Noodle Soup), which is a noodle soup with vermicelli noodles, quail eggs, tofu, pork meatballs, mustard green in a clear pork broth. The spring rolls were a safe option, but nonetheless excellent, as I've had them at other Asian-oriented restaurants. The Kyae Oh looked appeasing on the menu and tasted fantastic (it kind of reminded me of the Philippines' sinigang) when it arrived at my table. Both items arrived quickly upon ordering and my server (who was also Mommy Mom's owner/operator) was kind, gracious and was always smiling. I enjoyed my initial visit and decided to return as soon as possible. Sadly, though, I didn't get around to returning until October, but I still enjoyed a fantastic meal and excellent service from the same owner. During my October visit I had fried dumplings as an appetizer and followed that up with Ohn Noh Khow swae (Coconut Noodle), which are egg noodles in a chicken curry & coconut milk soup base and boiled egg. The dumplings were excellent - fried perfectly and had a great crunch. The Ohn Noh Khow was excellent, too. Considering it was my first time trying this entree, I didn't know how it was supposed to taste, but I enjoyed the combination of curry and coconut milk. The egg noodles meshed well with the soup base and the chicken was tasty and tender. The only thing I noticed is that the Ohn Noh Khow seemed to be a lighter portion than the Kyae Oh I had a few months earlier. I hope that Mommy Mom wasn't already forced to cut back portion size. After two visits, I feel Mommy Mom is a fantastic place. Their facility is clean and organized, its owner is kind, polite and helpful, and he can obviously cook good food. I enjoy Burmese cuisine because of this and look forward to many future visits! Thank you, Mommy Mom! JV read more

Space is clean and nice. Staff were very kind. 3 stars because the food is not worth the price in my opinion. $8 for 2 spring rolls. And I'm used to them being stuffed with protein, lettuces, carrots, cucumber. These were modest with just protein and lettuce. Noodle soup was fine, but also NOT worth the price. I spent $27 for 2 items and I was sadly disappointed. read more

The garlic noodles were worth the wait, with a nice fried garlic and buttery taste. My only issue was that the portion was a bit small; the thin noodles don't fill you up, and the shredded chicken could have been more plentiful. Next time, I plan to order spring rolls and ask for a larger serving of noodles. read more

Mommy Mom opened their doors on 2/8/23. I have only been here once and would say that I will return again. I believe the gentleman who took my order is the owner, but I should have asked to confirm. The food they serve is Vietnamese and Burmese. He did mention that he was from Burma (which is now called Myanmar. The service was excellent and he even offered me a complimentary hot tea. It was delicious. Let's get to the meal itself. I started with the spring rolls- the order comes with two. This dish is rice paper that is filled with shrimp, pork, lettuce and rice noodles. They served it with peanut sauce. I loved the dipping sauce but found there to be an excessive amount of noodles in it for my taste. Also, when I've ordered this appetizer at other restaurants it normally comes with 3 shrimp and these only came with two inside. The next dish was the beef meatball pho. It was a beautiful presentation, but I found the broth to be lacking flavor. The last dish was the coconut chicken curry noodle soup. It looked delicious but was also lacking in flavor. I'm going to chalk this up to being relatively new and will give them another shot in the upcoming weeks. Again, the service was fast and friendly and I truly enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. read more

Miss Saigon is now under new management and is now Mommy Mom. They're closed Sundays and are open 11am to 8pm Monday-Saturday. For to-go, I ordered the garlic noodles which were reminiscent of the packaged ramen mi goreng but with lots of garlic which I love. I wish them luck on the new opening! read more

Spicy Pho is the best pho I've ever had!!! Spring rolls are delicious. I like how you order from the kiosk and within 5-10 minutes the food comes out nice and fresh. Excellent service!! read more

Was in search of an Asian restaurant with vegetarian options and a variety of choices to please a group. We hit gold! The vermicelli noodle dish, fried rice, and garlic noodles were all delicious. The Boba was good too, the pearls are made fresh every day!! Next time I will definitely try some more of the Burmese cuisine. The owner was really kind and super on top of service. Seems like he's running the whole operation by himself. I wish I lived closer to support this awesome restaurant! read more

Used to order from here. My meal was wrong and when I called to ask for it to be fixed, the staff member was very rude and did not offer a good solution. read more

Stopped in for dinner and we enjoyed our visit. This place has menu items from Burma which was a first for me. It seemed to be a one man show where one person was hosting, waitressing and preparing meals; however he managed to provide good service. The food itself was of good quality, flavorful and tasty; nothing was burnt or undercooked, and the drinks were made well. read more

My husband and I stopped by for a casual date night at Mommy Mom and I'm so glad we did. We hadn't had Burmese food in Hampton Roads before so we had to try their noodle dishes. I ordered the N1 Chicken Noodle soup and husband ordered the N3 Coconut Chicken Noodle soup. Both were fabulous. The N1 was so flavorful, with shredded curry chicken and a rich clear chicken broth with rice noodles. The N3 had a rich texture from the coconut and sliced egg, and my husband liked the thick noodles. We also got the shrimp tempura which was crispy and delicious. The service was quick and polite--you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I liked the simple and colorful Vietnamese and Burmese decor. We will definitely be back! read more

Mommy Mom - Garlicky goodness- amazing broth! - Noodles Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Mommy Mom is a new Asian fusion and noodle restaurant whose cuisine provides a special emphasis upon Burmese and Vietnamese dishes. It opened up in February of this year in the same strip mall on Shore Drive where Misako is located, taking over the spot previously occupied by Miss Saigon Sandwiches & Noodles. The owner is reportedly from Burma, which is now officially called the Republic Of The Union Of Myanmar. It is the largest country by area in the mainland of Southeast Asia and is bordered by Laos and Thailand to its East and Southeast. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first restaurant in our area that has offered the Burmese dishes listed on their menu. The Burmese dishes I tried here gave me some new and first time culinary experiences. The interior has been given an attractive new face lift. A new paint job adorns the walls. Hand painted parasols dot their ceiling. The interior sparkles with cleanliness. Each table comes equipped with a tray of condiments that includes Hot Chili Oil, Hoisin Sauce, and Sriracha Sauce. Real chopsticks and Asian soup spoons are also included. After three lunch time visits, I have tried the following dishes: KYOH OH: PORK NOODLE SOUP: A Popular Burmese Noodle Soup consisting of Vermicelli Noodles, Quail Eggs, Tofu, Pork Meat Balls, and Mustard Greens in a Clear Pork Broth. The flavors of the pork meat balls, tofu, quail eggs, and pork meat balls came through nicely. The broth struck me as a bit bland at first, but its depth of flavor picked up a but as I slurped down closer to its finish. I would have liked a few more noodles and would have also preferred Bok Choy instead of mustard greens. In any event, I would be willing to try this one again. My Rating: 3.5 Stars. MOHINGA: LEMONGRASS FISH NOODLE SOUP: The menu description of this one was brief and described as a Fish Based Lemongrass Soup prepared with Rice Noodles and topped with Boiled Eggs. It was further described as the National Dish of Burma. I read up a bit more on this dish and learned that it is a traditional Burmese all day breakfast street food that is served in a form of a thick stew and is available in a variety of different recipes. The texture of the soup reminded me a bit of Congee. It delivered an enjoyable depth of flavor with some traces of turmeric that gave it a nice golden glow. I was craving a stronger presence of the lemongrass. After I finished, I asked the owner what type of fish was used in this dish. His answer was Swai, which is a species of catfish that is native to the rivers of Southeast Asia. Although I would have preferred a locally sourced fish, I read that catfish is traditionally used for this dish in Burma, which adds to the authenticity of the version served here. This is another dish that I would try again. My Rating: 4 Stars. BURMESE TEA LEAF SALAD: Fermented Tea Leaf, Tomato, Cabbage, Jalapeno, Sesame Seeds, Nuts, and Lime Juice. This is regarded as the most popular salad in Burma. The salad delivered a clean and refreshing taste. The fermented tea leaves and other veggies delivered a unique and pleasant taste combination with a texture that contrasted well with the crunch of the nuts and sesame seeds. The citrusy notes from the lime juice added moisture and extra flavor. Overall, this salad delivered an excellent balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, and I honestly do not know how I would go about improving this one. My Rating: 5 Stars. SPRING ROLLS: These came with two plump pieces filled with shrimp, pork slices, lettuce, and rice vermicelli in fresh rice paper coverings and were served with a peanut dipping sauce. I enjoyed the taste and texture of the spring rolls. The peanut sauce delivered a nice enough flavor, although I would have liked a lighter texture with some more hoisin sauce mixed in for additional umami flavor, topped with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. SPICY CHICKEN PHO NOODLE SOUP: Chicken Pho (Pho Ga) is one of my favorite Vietnamese soups, and the version served here was most satisfying. The rice noodles were abundant, and the chicken broth delivered a nice depth of flavor. Its spice level made my hot tooth happy, and I added some chili oil for a little extra heat. My Rating: 5 Stars. The owner who served me was as nice as he could be during my visits. When he wasn't serving a customer, he frequently kept busy cleaning the interior. My overall rating comes out to a strong 4-star rating at this time. I would like to try a few more of their Burmese dishes before I decide upon an upgrade to a full 5 stars. I will pass on their selection of Bahn Mi sandwiches, as they are served with mayonnaise, a condiment that has never agreed with me. I prefer a blend of butter and pate as a spread for my Bahn Mi sandwiches. In the meantime, I am happy so far with this new addition to our Asian restaurant scene and look forward to some future visits whenever I am in the area. read more

kiosk only no service, like a lot of these asian restaurants that pop up now be doing. and much like the other ones, this one's gonna charge you $15 for a bowl of soup that is not worth $5. skip the soup here, go down two storefronts and get some soup that's worth that money (Misako). i had a banh mi, a caramel coffee and the coconut chicken soup here (to-go). the banh mi was really good, could've used more veg but the meat was really tender. the caramel coffee was slop in a boba cup, i only got it because i'll try coffee anywhere if ive never been, on the off chance someone has a really good one, but no, not worth it. they also had something called burmese coffee, but zero description of what that was exactly on their ipad, so i didn't go for it. and the soup was highly disappointing. really dry chicken, unflavorful broth, overcooked green yolked eggs. it was a pretty good portion tho i will give them that. but yeah, these kiosk asian restaurants have got to stop charging an arm and a leg for food that is just not good (or frozen and deep fried like i assume all of their potstickers, egg rolls etc, are) as far as ambiance? i won't speak on, rlly none of the decor makes sense and things are misspelled everywhere, there's pictures of paris? anyway. go for the banh mi, save the rest of your money read more

My favorite go-to sick day meal is pho, and this did not disappoint! I ordered a vegetarian pho on the phone and it was ready in 20 minutes. Pick-up was speedy and the employee was nice. He told me just to quickly sign and not worry about a tip which a found strange, but maybe the tips don't to the workers? Would love to know. He also kindly went to the back to bring me hoisin sauce and garlic chili paste upon request. This will definitely be my first choice for take-out pho in the area. read more

We passed by VA Beach and found this little restaurant, it's run by a Burmese family, they serve pho, and some other Asian fusion stuff, I went for Burmese food, fish noodle soup, it does taste authentic, just as it does in Burma, a bit to salty for our taste, I had mentioned to the owner and made a mental note to mention it next time when ordering, other than that, food was awesome and servers were friendly. read more

Under new ownership we used to get takeout Pho. Updated interior, very nice. Ordered the Burmese Coconut Chicken Curry Noodle soup. It was richly loaded with ingredients but light on the curry. Hubby added some chili garlic oil and Siracha and the bowl was much more flavorful. Still a delicious combo of ingredients. I ordered the Curry Noodle Soup and it was wonderful. I will say also light on the curry but after adding the Siracha and garlic chilli oil the dish was BANG!!! We will absolutely come again. Friendly, helpful service and a much nicer atmosphere than previous management. read more

Best Banh Mi I have tried in the States! The spring rolls and peanut sauce were also phenomenal. Will be returning often!

First time trying a noodle place. This was fantastic! The customer service is great, and the food is great too! Definitely recommend.

we love this place similar to it's predecessor absolutely great food, vibe's, and staff.

Seriously the best Pho around! We've also had the coconut chicken noodle soup which is fantastic BUT my all time favorite is the Mohinga fish noodle soup. It is absolutely delicious with everything and a dash or siracha or their house made chili-crisp which is better than any chili-crisp we've had! read more

Under new management, the Chicken Pho has absolutely NO taste. The broth tasted like water. No bean sprouts or onion were included, a couple slices of jalapeño and a very small quarter cube of a lime. I used to order from Miss Saigon a lot but will not be returning to this "new" restaurant . This was a waste of money. read more

Miss Saigon used to be my favorite place to get chicken pho & egg rolls. Ordered my usual once they reopened under new management and it's not the same at all. Pho is so bland and they barely give you any bean sprouts/sides. Egg rolls are not the same and they serve them with weird soy sauce. read more

Great food and portions! They are always so nice. Every time I get sick or craving pho we come here. Highly recommend.

Really good food and friendly service. Updated inside. Hope they do well! We will be back

Was disappointed to see Miss Saigon gone. Was pleasantly surprised by the redo of the seating area. Very nicely decorated now with new chairs, tables, and counter. The staff is nice and I was served quickly. I ordered the Spring rolls for app. They were good, full of noodles, with pork and shrimp. The sauce tasted good although I do prefer the peanut sauce with peanut pieces in it which it did not have. I also ordered the Curry Noodle soup with chicken. The presentation was nice, and has shredded carrots and a slice of lemon on the side. The amount of chicken (sliced into squares not shredded) was a tad sparse for my taste. It was fairly flavorful, but I would definitely recommend they bump up the curry flavoring a bit. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to add hoisin and sriracha but I did. It made a difference flavor wise for sure. There were a lot of noodles, which I like. Food was served on new plates and bowls. New chopsticks as well. I would def go back to see if they improve on the pretty decent recipes they have at the moment. Clean, good service, decent food and properly priced. read more
