    Hmm. So From reading other reviews, it seems that the restaurant is under new ownership... which is not a definitive reason for the lower rating update. But perhaps because of new ownership, the food has changed. Which is what brought my ratings down. My favorite dish from last time, the Ayam Goreng. I was super disappointed because this was no longer awesome. It was super buttery rather than crispy. And too sweet. So sad. Chicken Pad Thai. So I'm still trying to find a good TAKEOUT noodle dish. Restaurants don't seem to know exactly how to cook the noodles so it doesn't get overcooked when taken out. So it's probably perfect when eaten at the restaurant. Unfortunately all we've been doing lately is takeout because of covid... so the noodles were overdone. I've had lots of delivery noodles in Korea, and they are never overdone like this. So I don't want to give in to the idea that we should not expect too much from takeout noodles. Aside from the overcooked noodles, the pad Thai itself was a OK. Just a-ok. Sambal Udang This is the first time I've ever had this dish. But for some reason, I don't think this is quite what it would taste like in Indo. From TV shows, it sounds like this is a dish with some coconut flavoring, but there was none in this dish. It was just a mediocre stir fry with the ingredients listed in the menu with some kind of a sauce that was mediocre tasting. Different. Not attractive. And if you're not into trying authentic stuff, you might be thrown off by the tempeh. altogether it just didn't harmonize well. So, three dishes, three disappointments. Best part of the meal were the dessert donuts they give you instead of fortune cookies.

    For the price, I would've imagine a bigger portion. The Egg plant with garlic sauce & Shrimp was the highlight. By far the best Garlic Sauce in the northern Milwaukee area. The other dishes, Lar Nar with Beef, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, and General Tso Chicken was average. Also, a 3.5% charge for using credit card. Overall, fresh ingredients but nothing special.

    Love this place! Food is excellent and the family that runs it is super friendly! Sad news is that they sold it and will only be helping the new owners run it for another two months. We shall see if new ownership changes the menu entirely. A few items have already been taken off the current menu. Fined in for dinner with 6 in the party. Food came out quick and tasted great! Nothing but goodness!

    Hard to see, but the Sesame chicken and sweet & sour chicken were awesome. By some work of magic or wizardry the order was ready, a rather large order, in under 15 minutes. The whole gang loved it. Well done Peking Chef!

    Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic!…read more We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so the greeter gave us some menus and let us know we could order and he'd find a table for us ASAP. We got to the counter and the cashier told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We accepted this and ordered anyway. We picked a curry, a noodle dish, and a Thai beer each. The cashier was very friendly. The original greeter found us a table almost immediately after we paid and mentioned the beer is especially nice over ice, so we took his recommendation. Beers came quickly, but food did take at least a half hour, as the cashier mentioned. Table and dining room were clean and nicely decorated with warm lighting and relaxing music. Bathrooms were also clean. Food was very good and flavorful. The portions were decent. We were full, ate most of our dishes, and didn't take anything home. The original greeter came back and checked on us while we were eating. Service was fantastic throughout the experience. The food was pricey, but aligns with other Thai restaurant prices in the area. Dishes were around $20. The whole experience was worth it. We will be returning!

    I really wanted to love it based on the reviews but the flavors were not there for me for my go to…read morefavorites. I ordered Thai tea and it had zero flavor and not the traditional color that I grew up on, very light in color so light on the tea. Papaya salad was more salty than the sweet there is typically the perfect balance of fish sauce and lime but just wasn't what I'm used to. The OG wings were great, great flavor, great cook. They use huge wings but cut them in half. The mango sticky rice had a perfect amount of coconut mixture but uses a different mango that is more tart than sweet. They were busy, people order to dine in and for carry out. The food took roughly 35-40 minutes, which was fine, not mad about fresh food. It is a really cute restaurant in a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but it can be hard to find parking when neighboring businesses are also busy. You order from the counter and sit down and they bring your food to you. I'm glad I tried it but likely will try other places next time. Cost was roughly $35.

I have had a lot of exposure to Thai food since I lived in SE Asia for a while and to be honest--wasn't expecting much from this place. I ordered the cashew chicken and crab rangoons and I could not get over the flavor! The umami was just heaven in my mouth and everything tasted just like I was back in Thailand! Everyone that was with us raved about the food and to be honest, I know I found my favorite Thai place. Who would have thought that little Racine, Wisconsin would have such a hidden gem??? Not me. But I sure am glad I found it! The best part was that the server was very nice and helpful for some of the ladies that were not sure what to order. She also let them know spicy can be VERY spicy in terms of Thai hot. lol. We also received our food pretty quickly which was surprising for a group of 6. I'll definitely come back here because you can't beat the flavor, prices, or the choices for dishes.

I don't even live in Wisconsin anymore, I live in Chicago now but anytime I'm in the ravine area I HAVE to stop here and get the volcano chicken. It hasn't changed since I was little and I hope it never does. This is my death row meal and I hope this place never goes away. I have never found this same dish at another restaurant. It's genuinely my favorite meal ever. The spicy sauce and cabbage/broccoli pairs perfectly with the crispy chicken. Simple but perfect. (Sorry for the bad photos I was too excited to eat) also the portions are large enough to split into multiple meals! This is from 2 orders.

Unfortunately, the dish lacked flavor and I ended up adding soy sauce and hot sauce at home to give it some life. I like a little spice on my Thai food, but not too much and I did not realize that the mild spice level was pretty much a zero spice level so next time I will pick medium. I loved the light cook on the vegetables and how crunchy they were. The staff was very friendly and the inside of the restaurant was beautiful. I went there a different time and got their sashimi flight and a salmon avocado hand roll. I moved here from Vegas so I'm very picky about sushi and seafood in general. This has been one of the best sushi places in Wisconsin for me so far! The fish was high quality, extremely fresh and definitely superior to the other sushi places I have tried out here. Even though the drunken noodle I had was lacking, I definitely want to go back and would love to give some of their other Thai items because they look really good. And I will 100% go back for the sushi!!

    Saw Mom's Kitchen pop up while searching for restaurants in Pewaukee, and being someone who LOVES…read moreThai food, the moment I saw Thai with Japanese and Asian fusion influences... count me in! Mom's Kitchen is such a charming and cozy little spot. The restaurant felt open, spacious, and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly. We came in for an early Wednesday evening dinner and were seated right away. Definitely one of the perks of beating the dinner rush! They have a pretty extensive menu along with a signature menu, so naturally, we had to order enough food to turn the table into our own little buffet. We ordered: - Korean Wings - Crispy, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. - Chive Dumplings - These were interesting! They reminded me more of a soft, doughy Korean style pancake than a traditional dumpling. Not necessarily my favorite dish of the night, and I could have done without it - Salt & Pepper Chicken - THE WINNER! This was easily our favorite dish. Crispy, savory, seasoned perfectly, and something I would absolutely order again. - Shrimp Pineapple Fried Rice - It was good! It had a slight curry flavor that I personally liked. My guest was about 50/50 on the curry flavor. The rice was a bit dry and could use a bit more savory taste. - Duck Pad Thai - Probably the lightest dish flavor wise. I personally would have preferred a little more sauce and a stronger marinade on the duck, but that's also personal preference. The duck itself was a nice change from your typical chicken, beef, pork or shrimp Pad Thai. The noodles were also a bit dry. A bit disappointed with this signature dish. One thing I really appreciated was the portion size. They are very generous here, so you definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth. We ordered quite the spread and had plenty of food to enjoy and had to take home. Not every dish is going to be everyone's favorite, especially with such a large and diverse menu, but that's actually one of the reasons I'd come back. There are SO MANY other dishes I still want to try! Overall, Mom's Kitchen was a good find in Pewaukee. Between the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, generous portions, and huge selection of dishes, I think it's absolutely worth checking out, especially if you enjoy Thai and Asian fusion cuisine. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in town. The Salt & Pepper Chicken is definitely on my list for a 2nd order . Also, I always order a Thai curry and this time I didn't. So next time it's on my table for sure.
