very good experience the food is amazing they have very nice workers and environment all definitely recommend

Really like the concept of this food court. I've visited locations with very similar vibes in cities such as New York and LA, and this one specializes in Asian cuisine. Great option for when you crave a mix and match of items or if people in your group want to eat different things. For food, we ordered from the dumplings stall and got the wontons in chili oil and fried bao. If you go on a weekend, I recommend going earlier rather than later because some items can sell out for the day. Wontons were my favorite - excellent spice and flavor. The bao were good but just okay. For drinks, we ordered from the Sumo Snow. Ordering is easy with the kiosk, and there is a big variety to choose from - anything like fruit teas, milk teas, slushies. My Lychee slushie was very refreshing. The owner of the establishment is also super kind, he chatted with us as we waited for our food and let us know that sometimes they host themed nights - anime, movies, pop culture - and the stalls sell specialty food and drinks during those nights. I imagine it can get pretty packed on those days, so plan accordingly! read more

I like the concept. I like the offerings. I don't like the odor of the building. I only bought from 2 food stalls on my first visit. I bought from Sumo Snow & Akai Hana Express. Both stalls were set up with a kiosk to enter your own order. At Sumo Snow, though, there was a cashier set up to take an order and answer questions. I know what bingsu is, but it is the first time I've seen it served in the west valley, so I think she was there to help people decide. For those wondering, it is the Korean version of raspados. Koreans have more toppings than just syrup, though. I liked all that they offered. Sumo snow is tied in with Sumo dogs (Korean style corn dog/cheese dog place). I placed one order at Sumo Snow, and tacked on a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Dog from the neighbor. I didn't see that the pair of Sumo stalls offered drinks. (I may have missed that), so I went up front to the sushi stall to get some water bottles. I will definitely be back to try some sushi and the other food I missed. read more

We visited Niu Mama Kitchens on a Sunday for lunch, and I must say, it's a unique concept with its food court setup featuring a few Asian food vendors. We decided to try a bit of everything: a poke bowl, a combination of chicken and beef, and edamame from Saito's Express, as well as pork and chive dumplings from Lao Ma. To top it off, we indulged in the Ha Long Bay refresher from Sumo Snow. While the variety is a nice touch, the food was pretty much what you would expect from Asian fast food vendors--not the highest in quality. The preparation time was longer than anticipated, which was a bit frustrating. The seating arrangements were typical for a fast-casual place, nothing special. Considering the prices, which felt a bit on the higher side for what we received, I would say that Niu Mama Kitchens deserves a solid 3 stars for its diverse offerings but falls short in quality and service. read more

Came here with my book club and we all enjoyed the variety of food options. I got the inari bomb from Akai Hana, which I really enjoyed. Also got the ttetboki form kimchi express- the sauce was very watery and there wasn't too much spice or flavor. Every food stall is ordered via kiosk which is nice, but there's also someone at the front for question. The bathroom was clean and there were a lot of seating options. read more

Cute little spot with different options. Very cleaned and maintained. A little over priced. Service was good.

Gotta be honest, this place is not at the safest area, but it is so good that I went twice in 3 weeks. The first round, I tried K-Bap, Lao Ma, Akai Hana and Sumo Snow. The second round, I focused on Akai Hana and Sumo Snow. First round - Lao Ma is the bomb!!! I was just thinking about how much I love these varieties of dumplings that they would be my fix before I got a reservation in at Ding Tai Fung. The strawberry dessert cake from Sumo Snow was not so great, but those white chocolate ice cream bites recovered!! The Tokoyaki balls from Akai were good, but I would say the filling maybe could be a bit hotter (weird to say, I know). Second round - The bento box from Akai was so worth a try. I had the salmon and chicken combo and there was so much food! I had a second meal out of it. The drink from Sumo was very refreshing! Wonder what happened to the pho place because that would have been a huge hit. I would love to come back for more restaurant but seems like there's no more room to grow inside. read more

Came by on a Saturday at noon. Not busy at all. Love the Asian food hall concept as you can find various choices to match your mood. Went with Pho Mama because I have a tendency towards Viet food. Pretty easy menu and a very nice staff member took my order for the Brisket Pho. Sat with my pager for a bit until my order came up. Simple setup, pho in a disposable bowl and a bag of veggies for garnish. Broth did not have a deep flavor or usual spices I would expect of the usual pho broth. Meats and noodles were okay. Just enough for a quick fix for me. Nice concept so maybe I'll give them another shot in the future. read more

Great service and a great concept to support small businesses. read more

This a pretty cool place for grabbing some food with friends and family with a variety of places to pick from. I had dinner here last week with friends and we all enjoyed and finished our foods. We ordered from the following places: Saito Express: Chicken and shrimp hibachi - good portion and very tasty Pho Mama: Beef Pho - not many sections to choose from, broth was good Lao Ma: Spicy dumplings - they were out of cucumber salad so we ordered these K - Bap: Beef bulgogi and Korean tacos - tacos were pretty simple, on the sweeter side. Bulgogi was good Sumo Snow: Boba smoothies and cheesecake with ube - good cup sizes for the price, ube on cheesecake was not good Everything was flavorful. The employees all seemed nice and eager to take our orders. The dining hall was clean and there is plenty of seating. Worth checking out! read more

Cool concept. Busy on a Friday night. We opted to order bowls from K-Bap. Korean chicken bowl was pretty good. Chicken very crispy. Sauce very sweet, it needed more of spicy mayo. I'd order again from there. Service was pleasant, food was prepared fresh and was delivered to us hot. Four stars. We also ordered from Lao MA. So dining companion wanted a dozen beef pan fried. I ordered the Happy Meal for the other two of us to share. Ordered pork and chive, pan fried. Received pork and cabbage. Dumplings were steamed but only pan fried on the bottom. Slightly over fried with a strange crispy coating on the bottom. None of us liked these and one had a long blonde hair sticking out of it. We were told it was part of the filling and the lady was very rude about it. Two stars. Won't visit again. She tried to charge us for drinks even though we had a receipt from K-Bap. As a whole just an average dining experience. I would dine at K-Bap again to try the tacos. read more

Niu Mama Kitchens is basically an Asian food hall/food court in a strip mall on 43rd Ave and Glendale. The concept is interesting, there are five fast-casual spots under one roof: Saito's Express (Chinese/Japanese), Sumo Dnow Express (Boba drinks), Pho Mama (Vietnamese), Lao Ma (Chinese dumplings), and K-Bap Kitchen. We didn't try everything, just the Dumplings Combo from Lao Ma and pho from Pho Mama. Honestly, we left feeling pretty thirsty. The dumpling combo ($25.99 + tax) came with 24 small dumplings: 6 Signature (pork, chives, eggs, and shrimp, I wasn't a fan), 6 Pork & Cabbage (best of the bunch, but still not great), 6 Pork & Chives (okay), and 6 Teriyaki Chicken (way too sweet). The pho (Meatballs $13.99, Brisket $15.99) was surprisingly sweet rather than savory, the kind of sweetness that isn't from slow-cooked meat. Definitely not worth the price. Overall, it's an interesting concept but very pricey for food court-style food. We went to try it, but we won't be coming back for the rest. read more

I love everything about this place! Staff is so nice and bring the food to your table. I've tried beef bulgogi and shrimp K Bap bowls, both amazing, crab rangoons w real crab finally! And delicious spring rolls. I came with friends and we all split our dishes. The Korean corn dogs are so good if you love a cheese pull. I came back to try their coffee and dumplings with my gf and they didn't disappoint. I will be coming back for sure:) read more

Food: Dumplings: 4/5 dumplings were freshly handmade and it's better that way. Pho:4/5 to be honest I was really surprised with the broth, and the portion of the meats. I didn't expect a small shop could whip up some nice flavors like that. Vietnamese coffee frappe: 5/5 Last but not least the boba shop was my favorite. they are pushing top notch quality boba and I'm here for it. I love Vietnamese coffee and this has to be in my top 5 coffees in Arizona Service: all three shops 5/5 great service very nice, very kind ,and very quick . Ambiance: 4/5 You can tell they put a lot of work into the design of the place; which I appreciate. the only thing that threw me off was the first thing I notice was the smell but other than that they have good stuff here you should check them out for yourself!! read more

At first glance, this place looked mid but you can't ever judge a book by its cover. It's a few restaurants under one roof. The dumplings were tasty with their chili sauce. I appreciate how they make it fresh for you! Their pho was really delicious too. The broth was actually packed with flavor, and the meat and meatballs were perfectly tender. Service was amazing. Ambiance is the chill spot. Perfect for a family and group of friends to hang out. We also tried their green Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee... both were also FANTASTIC! read more

What an amazing gem! The kiddos and I chose to celebrate our "making it through the week" with an outing to Niu Mama Kitchens! Heard about a while ago from social media and immediately added it to my Yelp "Want to go" collection! Super impressive! Lots of parking outside! Friendly staff. What I love is that there are 5 restaurants, each serving Asian cuisine! The choices, the choices. It was so hard to pick, so we visited 4 of the 5 (my budget for the outing dictated this)! At Saito's Express, my sweet pea chose the shrimp and ribeye hibachi and I ordered a chicken and shrimp hibachi. Ample portions and I loved the zucchini. We got Pho, we got potstickers and boba. To top it off, the kiddos got the viral ice creams! Will definitely go again! Your pickiest eaters will have variety to choose from here! Enjoy! read more

I bought a bowl of chicken noodles from the first restaurant up front. Unfortunately, the cashier was also the same person preparing the food. There's nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that he was using the same gloves he used at the register to also work in the kitchen. Not once did I see him change gloves. I've worked in the restaurant industry before. We were taught to wash our hands and/or change our gloves if we were going to prepare food after working the register. read more

So cool! A mini Asian food court with literally everything you could want. We started at K Bap and got some delicious chicken (pictured) it was crunchy and the sauce was sweet and spicy and the chicken was made to order which is so delicious. Then we got dumplings at the place next door, we got the pan fried pork & chive dumplings, these were my favorite thing we ate that day. like a delicious soup dumpling, just so flavorful. Pan fried is absolutely the way to go. We also got ramen and yakisoba from the restaurant up front, it was good but maybe my least favorite of all the restaurants. And finally the boba place! It was soo delicious. Definitely sweet but flavor levels were adjustable! Food aside, everyone was so nice and recommended their favorite dishes at each restaurant! We definitely had some questions and they were more than happy to answer. The restaurant was like a super cute patio but indoors! Definitely gonna be great in the summer. Overall I'd say there's something for everyone!! read more

Food: Teriyaki Chicken Pan Fried Dumplings 5/5 These were freshly made. The filling was hearty and savory. The ratio of dough to filling was satisfying, making for a juicy bite. I will definitely order this again! Vegetable Lo Mein 3/5 The noodles were average. I wish there wasn't a lot of broccoli and more of the other vegetables. The portion was hearty. Service: 5/5 The food took a long time. However, I didn't mind since the food was being prepared to order. Ambiance: 5/5 The food court was a nice setup that allowed for everyone to sit in the same area regardless of what they ordered. Overall, this is worth a stop for high, quality Asian food in Glendale. read more

Love the concept! Great place to bring a group so everyone can get what they want. But like every new place there are some kinks that need to be worked out. We went about 15 mins after opening time. The hibachi place was expensive so we skipped them. K-bop: 1star We got the Korean fried chicken tacos. Pho: 3 star meatball pho Lao dumplings: 4 star combo dumplings The Korean fried chicken tacos came out first. The chicken was cold. Tortillas cold. We went right after opening so they must have just taken everything out of the fridge. But nothing was warm. Flavor was ok. But for the price, not worth it for frozen fried chicken nuggets tossed in sauce. Pho: now this was HOT. Of course it's soup so it should be hot. But wow! I always sip the broth first before adding the fixings. And wow I burnt the entire roof of my mouth! Once I started to mix up the noodles the broth was steaming. They use the wide noodles. Give you a lot of meatball compared to the usual 2 you get. lol. But they don't skim the fat. So if you like your pho oily, you'll love it. I had to wash my face after. They were heavy handed on the fish sauce. But overall it was decent. They didn't offer the rare beef pho. Just three choices: meatball, brisket, or beef rib. They also had cashier issues. First they turned me away then asked if I had cash. I paid with cash and they couldn't give me change. So they had to run to another food stall. Regardless the guys were super nice Last was our favorite the dumplings. I believe it was pork and cabbage, pork and chive, and chicken teriyaki? We did half pan fried and half boiled. I enjoyed all three of the dipping sauces. Ladies were super Nice. I like how they are small bite sized but I felt this was worth the money. Flavor was great. read more

Came in to the new place on the block. Tried a couple different things from 4 different spots inside. The hibachi spot is pricey. I ordered a regular bowl with steak and shrimp. For the price it shoulda had more protein. There were only like 3 pieces of steak and 3 shrimp. Super skimpy. They had plates costing like $25. No thanks. The second place we tried were the dumplings. The kid menu one. They were alright, nothing special. Super fresh though as I burned the sh.. out of my mouth The 3rd thing we tried was the bulgolgi bowl. We like this the most out of all the food. The service from all vendors was really nice and friendly. Lastly, we ended it with a sweet treat. Got the Thai tea and the Oreo shake. Both super good. The sizes are huge, too. The place was big with lots of seating and clean. It's a cool concept. Will be back to try other menu items. read more

My family and I checked out Niu Mama Kitchen during their soft opening and wow-what a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm and friendly service that set the tone for the experience. What makes this spot so special is that it's not just one restaurant , it's FIVE amazing concepts all under one roof: Sumo Snow Express, Pho Mama, Lao Ma Dumpling, Saito, and K-Bap. We couldn't resist and ordered something from each one (because why not?), and every bite was worth it. Definitely recommend coming hungry so you can sample a little bit of everything! The vibe here feels like stepping into a lively Asian hawker center, street food energy, but indoors. If we could change one thing, it would be the music. With such a hip, youthful atmosphere, some K-pop or upbeat tracks would totally take the experience to the next level. Niu Mama Kitchen is officially open now, so if you're looking for a fresh foodie adventure, this is definitely a spot to add to your list! read more

Great Concept and Great place to bring friends and family. A few things to improve... Saito's Express: Last time I went they had No Chicken and No Rice, when that's like most of their menu. 3/10 Sumo Snow Express: Great Drinks, great dessert! Tasty drinks and nice service! Only Complaint is they only give Honey Boba on Weekends which makes no sense in my opinion when customers usually buy Honey Boba. 8/10 Pho Mama: COULD HAVE MORE THINGS ON THE MENU! There's only 3 types of pho. Have not tried yet! Lao Ma Dumplings: Great Service and Very Helpful. My favorite is the Happy Meal! Definitely Flavorful. 8/10 K Bap Kitchen: The Bowls and Chicken wings are really good. I've complained about the Extra Sides already but $4 Kimchi in a 4oz Cup is weird. kimchi in a mason jar at Walmart is cheaper. The Food is good but slightly overpriced. 7.5/10 read more
