8 Aquitania Blvd W #50, Lethbridge, AB T1J 5L4, Canada
A local restaurant serving up new and old Vietnamese favourites. Casual eats in a family friendly dining room of 8 tables. Takeout and delivery services available.
The food was pretty good, but not fantastic. I had the spicy beef noodle, as it’s called on the menu, which I believe is meant to be bun bo hue. But the broth lacked the level of spice and depth of flavour that’s in a traditional bun bo hue. I think the food here is slightly adjusted to western tastes. That being said, the portions are massive and you will definitely leave satisfied. Also, no complaints about the service and the decor is quite nice.
The servers are super friendly and were attentive which we really appreciated. The atmosphere was lovely, the modern decor is gorgeous and the restaurant was nice and clean. The food disappointed me however. I love pho and it’s my comfort food. Recently moving to Lethbridge, I’ve been on the hunt for a good, comforting bowl of pho with a rich broth full of umami. The portions are huge which is always great, but the flavour was not there for me and it tasted rather bland. The Vietnamese iced coffee wasn’t great either as I felt it was too watery, in every other restaurant I’ve been the ca phe sua da has a sweet taste from the condensed milk to balance the rich coffee. The reviews for the rest of the food seem to be really great, so I will definitely be back to try other items from the menu but will not be ordering pho or coffee from here again.
The food was nothing short of amazing. It smelled and looked too good for me to remember to take a picture before devouring it. Portion sizes are huge, when they say shareable they mean it. I tried the pink lotus drink and it's 10/10 tastes like a healthy strawberry milkshake. I look forward to eating my way through the menu!
We had the spring rolls, Beef stew with rice, Beef pho and pork salad rolls. Everything was delicious. Staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend. If I had to get one thing to eat and drink it would be the Beef stew on rice and a strawberry lychee drink with 🥥 jellies.
What a great place. Attentive and friendly staff, nice new Asian atmosphere, incredible flavours, and very generous portions. Definitely a place to become a regular!
LOVE this restaurant! Definitely my favourite Vietnamese restaurant! The portions are huge and very worth the money. Everything is delicious and gives home cooked meal. My boyfriend and I go here often for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend the Black Pepper Beef w Rice and Beef Pho. Staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean.
Delicious food and large portions. Love the drinks especially. Employees are very kind and attentive. Would come back 100%.
Came with a friend who recommended here. It was wonderful..! Staff were nice, reasonable prices, and definitely delicious food❤️🔥 🍖Highly recommend the pork ribs which can be shared for 2. Strong but gentle flavor, big portion. I think rice goes better with this dish. 🥢My friend’s spicy beef soup noodles was also delicious! I specifically love the round noodles they used more than the regular thin ones. ☕️Last but not least! Vietnamese coffee was also good! Nice option for people who want sweet drinks but not too sweet. Really wanna go back again!🥹
Super clean environment, all the food is amazing and it s a perfect spot right next to the YMCA and easily accessible in the west side! Highly recommend any day of the week
Absolutely awesome food and large servings . Definitely recommend it
Me and my wife are fan of spicy beef noodle since Mamala open, but recently last 2 months flavor was change completely different than before. I dont know recipe was changed or not, but it absolutely is terrible, lack of flavor, broth is just fill extra water, didnt taste any beef broth at all. I hope Mamala could review this dish so me and my wife can try again in future, but now we dont want to come back again.
Probably our favorite Vietnamese in town. I wish they had a few (handful) more options, but the dishes they have, they do very well. Satay chicken is my fav
Great restaurant! My go-to stop when in Lethbridge.. definitely love the food! Highly recommend!
Friendly staffs Tasty food Worth the money. Food : 5/5
Tasty food, excellent service and a pleasant dine-in restaurant, even when its not big, but the atmosphere is nice.
Mama la has been my GO TO for years! Never really have had any issues with the food until recently.. I ordered last week & this past Wednesday, my rice was hard, zucchini was not cooked & my smoothie was very watery. I am really hoping it was just a bad day in the kitchen as this IS the best Vietnamese food in the city.
Amazing food and lots of great vegan options! My favourite dish is the braised tofu stew and my husband always gets the Lemongrass Tofu with vermicelli. The portions are LARGE! I almost forgot to mention they make the BEST Bánh mì sub! Best restaurant in Lethbridge!
The service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed the music and art while we waited. We got way more food than we thought we would. It was sizzling hot and delicious! We got cute little plates to share the food with. We got the lemongrass tofu and braised tofu stew. We also had the super yummy ube-by specialty drink. The bathroom and everything was very clean. We left full and happy with leftovers! We will definitely be going here again!
Ended up trying Mama Las tonight. Wicked hole in the wall! Staff were on top of things, kind and patient as I went through the menu. I dont tip on my first try so I was expecting minimum service which is fair. Nah. These ladies made me feel bad for not putting an extra bit forward! Met me at the door as I was about to walk in with the meal in hand and name ready. Its those small things that catch people. Food was delicious, portion size was generous. 10/10 Ill see yall again next week
Great food and atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. We were impressed with the choices, and the portion sizes were huge. I wished I could have had Satay Chicken as the protein in my Bun, without stir fry veggies, but other than that everything was great. Food : 5/5
The server was very good at acquainting me with the menu. I ordered the black pepper beef and the fried won-tons, it feeds two people and only cost about $30 total. Wait time after ordering was well below 10 minutes despite the tables looking mostly full on a Saturday evening. The noodles served with the dish were excellent. The black pepper still has my palate feeling a little raw but maybe Im just not tough. I look forward to trying the subs and pho in the future. If you are looking for a place to eat with a date/buddy that isnt pricey and dont like waiting I highly recommend this restaurant.
Good customer service, meals portion were great, I will return
Food is generally good, but quality of service has gotten worse over time. Recent order was incorrectly taken and they even gave my order to another customer. Will probably be looking elsewhere for Vietnamese food.
I travel a lot for work. It s definitely in the top 5 pho I ve experienced so far. The spring rolls are awesome as well.
Dietary restrictions: Really good gluten free items
So delicious, reasonably priced, very friendly, and a really cool atmosphere.
So GOOD! The service is friendly and SO helpful and all the food I have had is *chef s kiss.* They have this chilli oil (I think) that you can add to dishes to take to from yummy and mild to so yummy it hurts. LOVE IT. They also have some gluten free alternatives that SLAP.
Great food Great people Food
Good food
One of my favourite restaurants in Lethbridge. Never disappointed with the food or service!
Best restaurant in Lethbridge so far, super delicious food, great people there and overall a really enjoyable experience
Best spring rolls in town. Great food
Me and my coworkers love this place. We went here for our Christmas party. I personally am a creature of habit and get the same thing ever time I eat here, maybe I should try some other items on the menu. But the soup is so good!!! Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating with our dairy and gluten restrictions
A regular take out spot for our family! Awesome service, fantastic food and a great location. Their sauces that you can purchase are also amazing!
Amazing portion and amazing food.
Huge portions, incredible value, and absolutely delightful staff. The food is incredible!
During my visit, I was impressed by the superb food and service, as well as the inviting atmosphere and pristine cleanliness indoors.
One of my favorite weekly stops! Lemongrass beef on noodles, chefs kiss! Spring rolls are really good. The Beef Satay sub in our favorite! Yummy!
Love all staff, friendly. Im coming back Food : 4/5
Very small and crowded, but the food was amazing and the staff was friendly
My partner and I ordered beef pho and bahn mi to go. It was excellent but they forgot to include the utensils and we ended up eating the noodles with our hands. It was a fun experience though.
The food was amazing and their staff is totally focused on the customer. The young ladies who served us were friendly and fantastic. Was a great dining experience for us out-of-towners. Great value for the money. Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF items for Celiac customers.
The food was delicious! The staff was so lovely! So refreshing Canadians they re just better than us! ( Mericans!) Highly recommend this place.
Rather expensive and the food was kinda bland
Food was great and staff also! Kinda odd they don t open on weekends as I usually wanna go for pho for my hangover cure .. they should definitely be open on weekends but other than that great restaurants
Amazing! Felt like I went into a food meditation . The flavors were amazing and the portions were huge enough that I couldn t finish it all. Definitely will be coming back again! Thanks Ma Ma La!
Eaten here dozens of times. Never disappointed. Food is always fresh & delicious.
Excellent food and staff.
Amazing food and the staff are always so friendly! Highly recommend to anyone in Lethbridge!
Amazing food! The Chilli oil is available in jars to buy for home!
This is one of the best restaurants in Lethbridge! I have eaten in, as well as ordered take out and both experiences are wonderful! It is always fresh, hot and fast. As a vegetarian I find it hard to eat out, but Mama La s has something for everyone!
Always superb. The shrimp salad rolls are mwah! The bowls are enough for three meals. Thank you!!!
Super disappointed that they took the eggplant and mustard greens off the menu. I have been a loyal customer of mama la for over 2 years now. I have ordered the eggplant plant mustard green almost every 2-3 weeks the last couple of years. It was so good and I have heard the same thing from many other vegans. It is really sad they took one of the few vegan things off the menu and didn t even bother to replace. I tried the veggie currie noodles tonight and it was no where near as good. It had no sauce or flavor and only a couple pieces of tofu. Really hope they will consider bringing back the eggplant and mustard greens.
Incredible food and very generous portion sizes
delicious food and friendly staff!
Awesome food, come here at least monthly sometimes more as long as I m not on a cut! love the staff. I ve been going here for years since before COVID, during COVID and after. The quality of the food is always amazing and I ve had almost everything on the menu. The. portion sizes are great since I have a huge appetite. I ve brought dates here, came just myself, or bring family. Feels good to support business like this, always make sure to leave a nice tip!
Excellent food and service.
Quick and tasty! Great portions and awesome price. The staff are super friendly, and I see the owner working just as hard as everyone else every time Im there. Its honestly really heartening. If youre wanting a DELICIOUS meal (that will probably feed you for a whole day), come out and support this awesome business. Also, their bread is phenomenal. Seriously, get a bahn mi or the beef stew with baguette.
Easily one of the best restaurants in Lethbridge. Amazing food (with great dietary options) and an awesome staff make it one of my favourites. I can t recommend it enough.
Excellent quality food and customer service. I actively ate here while on business. The staff treated me as a regular with the utmost quality customer experience. I highly recommend!
Best food that doesnt hurt your stomach and they give you big portions to take home and eat at home aswell
Unbelievably good, like always. And the service is ALWAYS amazing!
The Flavored latte I had was literally one of the best coffee drinks Ive had! The food was also very very good! The pork was so tender! Love it!
Good food. Really good potion size. Good customer service .
So this place opened recently. I consider myself something of a viet sub fan. The beef satay sub is amazing and no trip is complete without a bubble tea. (Just called blended drink with pearls) A little bit small, and closed on Mondays. The rest of the week the owner is usually hanging around and is super friendly. Way better than thai tais in Calgary, my old viet go to. Thanks for classing up the west side!
A little cramped but the food is fantastic. Love the pepper beef and marinated pork ribs. I would give the curried shrimp a miss. Cannot wait to try the rest of the menu options!
Exceptional service, portion size, price, and above all flavor!!!! We drove 3.5 hours just to indulge in the fantastic spot!!!
Nice place
Yummy yummy in my tummy.
The customer service is impeccable!! And the food tastes amazing, this is my west-side go to for food!
Overpriced and food was mediocre. Pho noodles were big and meatballs were sliced so I got hardly any meat. Just not as good as the review say. Place looked clean and nice.
Just randomly visiting, 3 of us are chefs and also owners of 2 Vietnamese and Japanese houses in Edmonton accompanied by the main chef with 15 years of experience 1 Japanese and 1 Vietnamese and Our experience at MaMa LA is very impressive in terms of warmth. the love of the staff today (the restaurant is clean, the decoration is light about the food, the decoration is nice, but the food is a bit bland, maybe because it is suitable for local people)
Delicious good for you food & kind hearted staff!!
Good little restaurant. Good food and service. Friendly staff
Came here for the first time today and the grilled chicken sub was absolutely delicious and very filling. Lovely decor and great service. The strawberry smoothie was also tasty instead of being super sugary.
Great Vietnamese food. Best in Lethbridge. Good prices and huge portions. Love the Vietnamese subs. Very friendly staff. If you haven t been to Mama La yet, don t hesitate to go there.
Such an incredibly busy place for good reason... The food is delicious
Fresh, flavorful amazing dishes. Will be back next Lethbridge visit.
Best food in Lethbridge! Awesome staff
My absolute favourite place to eat in Lethbridge! Prices are good, food is amazing and the owner and staff are excellent!! Amazing Gluten free options too. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
Very tasty food, huge portions and great service.
Great tasting food although some dishes a bit more spicy than North Vietnamese style. However they have done a great job with the ingredients available here.
Went here yesterday with my husband and we had a wonderful time! Food was excellent!! I had that Pho and he had the Beef Bowl. We shared spring rolls and we left happy with a full tummy. Highly recommend for a delicious modern take on Authentic Vietnamese dishes.
The best PHO beef soup in Lethbridge!
So far for us it is one of the Best Asian Restaurant here in lethbridge. I had the Caramelized pork ribs very tasty and the meat was soft and tender. My husband had the coconut curry soup which the portion size is good for 2 person, it was so delicious and was serve fresh and hot!
We had a great experience. From the service to the serving sizes, everything was highly appreciated. The vegan selection is AMAZINg! Everything has so many flavours and very tasty. I wished we lived closer, I would be there all the time. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Lethbridge.
Easily the best food in Lethbridge!! Bahn Mi is a must!
We love Mama La. The food is always delicious, with fresh ingredients, excellent flavours, and huge portions. I only wish some dishes weren t as oily, but it s a small price to pay for their food!
I wish there were one million more stars to give. Best Vietnamese in town. From the classic vermicelli bowls to the to the papaya salad and sweet and sour soup (get it extra spicy, you will love it), my Vietnamese cravings are always satisfied!! Thanks, Mamala!!
Mama La is one place my wife and I consistently crave and go back to. There is nothing we have tried that we have not enjoyed but by far out favorites are the Bahn Mi sandwiches. Highly recommend!
This is my new favorite spot for Vietnamese food. My wife and I came here for our anniversary, as it was highly rated and we really enjoy Vietnamese food. We ordered too much as it all sounded really good, but thats ok because we now have leftovers. We got Mamas chicken wings, crispy wrapped shrimp, pork and spring roll bowl with vermicelli, and the spicy satay chicken. All were very delicious. The bowl especially tasted very fresh, and the pork sliced thin and tender. I want to go back right now for lunch. We were surprised that they offer table service here as well, and the staff were great. Very friendly. Thank you Mama Las for making our anniversary a great one! My only complaint was that I ate too much.
If youre looking for a place that is healthy, has a great atmosphere, and exceptional service Mamala is the place to be!
Husband and I went for lunch at Mama Las this afternoon, we havent been there for a while. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and the kindness continued throughout the time we were there. The food was delicious, highly recommend trying the soups on a cool day like today. We definitely will be back more often. Vegetarian options: Only saw that some of the meals had the vegetarian optio Parking: Parking can be tough during meal rush hours, but there is plenty of parking spaces if youre willing to walk during those times. Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is level to the ground and sidewalk has area that is wheelchair accessible
Very good service and food
We were there for the first time, and we will definitely come again. These were very tasty ribs, a huge portion and the best service in Leithbridge. Thanks to the manager for a wonderful, tasty place that I want to come to again.
We use their takeout quite often. Great food and you get lots.we recommend everyone try them.
Best Vietnamese in lethbridge. Best spring rolls Ive ever had. Delicious.
Great place to get vietnamese food. The verm bowls are delicious. VN iced coffee was great too. Nice waitresses. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly
If I was rich Id be eating here every day. Three meals a day. THATS how good it is!
Had a lamb chop special - so amazing. The only noticeable issue, if one can call it n issue, is that the chops were different thicknesses so each was cooked differently. 2 well done and one medium rare. Otherwise best lamb I ve ever had. Food
Very nice and modern restaurant. Foods are very attractive as well as the taste. Huge portions with reasonable price. Proper services and good hospitality from staffs and owners. Recommended.
Mama La has amazing quality. Weve tried 4 Vietnamese places in town and Mama La is by far the best. At first the prices seemed higher than usual but when we received our food the portion sizes were very large especially the vermicelli bowls. One bowl would easily satisfy my wife and I. Fresh ingredients/friendly and professional staff/delicious food. Certainly our go to for Vietnamese now!
Everything we had was delicious. Service was very good.
Love this little place. Super friendly staff and the food is amazing. Its a go to for me now.
We have tried mama la a few times when craving Vietnamese and unfortunately every time it is disappointing. The pho and vermicelli bowls lack flavor, the portions are good but every item we have had from here is bland.
Great food and great service. The beef stew has tender, fall apart pieces of beef and a thick, flavourful broth. Fantastic! This is a regular favourite place for us.
The food was great. The people were great, and the whole experience was pleasant, I would recommend it to anyone.
We were visiting from Medicine Hat for two nights. We went night one because of the vegan options, and loved it so much we went back the second night. Everything about this place is 5 stars.
Great food, great price and great service! Tons of ACTUAL gluten free options for all my celiac friends!
Very tasty Food ! Parking: Open parking lot, many spots to park in. Food : 5/5 |
Great place to go and eat
We always get the same 2 dishes: black pepper beef with rice & lemon grass chicken on noodles. This time, we got an extra order of the black pepper beef, requesting it have less pepper/milder. They we so friendly. It all came perfect. Highly recommend. Good service and quick as well. Parking: Busy lot
Fantastic Vietnamese restaurant with great food and great staff! My family have been here at least 4 to 5 times, both eat-in and take-out. The food is always on point with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked meat. The noodle soup is full of flavour as well. The portion is huge and definitely worth the price.
First time eating there, my wife and I were greeted immediately and had a very attentive server. Portions were phenomenal and very large. The food was amazing and the experience was top notch. Best Vietnamese food in Lethbridge by a long shot.
So yummy! My favourite dish is the lemongrass chicken bowl
Absolutely love their food, order takeout from them at least once a week, lol! It is so good and the portions are huge and great for leftovers!! Thank you Mama La team!
If fresh food, crisp veggies and flavorful cooking is your thing, you need Mama La in your life! The team is absolutely wonderful and the food is even better!
Great eats. Portion sizes were generous and the food was tasty, quick service and a nice location. Open for dine in these days.
Authentic Vietnamese cuisine on the prairies! Having spent lots of time in Vietnam, I can without hesitation say that MAMA LA is the real deal. Their flavors are on point and out of this world. Friendly staff and generous portions. 10/10.
Good food, large portions & reasonable prices make Mama La a good spot to visit.
Doesn t quite live up to Vietnamese food I ve had before, but I think it might be the best you ll get anywhere in Lethbridge. Super generous portions and I appreciate how friendly the service is, though! My friend got the tofu bowl and honestly, I think that s the thing to order!!
They where very good, everything was so fresh! The area is a little small so if your dinning in be there early. A little pricey but over all really good and tasty
Absolutely LOVE this food! So delicious in a well made container. You get large amounts that gives you a meal for the next day. Not only is the food to die for, the service is always fast and with a smile!
Tasty Vietnamese dishes and delicious bubble tea!
Been going to Mama La s since it opened and it was always very good. Yesterday was different. They hit the WOW mark with one of the most memorable dining experiences ever!!! Great food combined with awesome service is the combination that cannot be beat.
Just WOW! One of the best. Has a modern twist or was it more traditional! Either way the proportions were HUGE!! The carded curried meat, delish, I had the option of rice in my bowl, loved it!! Didn t take a picture of my bowl but the curry bowl of soup, again very good. Oh and I almost forgot the stuffed spring rolls, wonderful, the meat tasted and I felt as if they were in house made with their own seasoned meat yummy goodness! The staff was very welcoming, attentive but not over the top. Left with a Vietnamese coffee to go and a great dinning experience, thanks team Mamma La s
We came in for a take out order and were greeted with abrupt and rude service. The milk tea was essentially iced coffee. Could get better iced coffee and service at tim Hortons. Disappointed.
The food is always amazing. ...concerned about inflation price increases.
Awesome Vietnamese food! Portions are huge and the service is fantastic!
Our favourite place to eat in Lethbridge! Love the atmosphere and clean facilities. Absolutely amazing food. Reasonable prices. Exceptionally friendly staff with smiles for the toddler. Our favourite item is the spicy beef sub - you wont regret trying one! Update: the mango papaya smoothie is yummy! Both my toddler and I enjoyed it.
This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants Ive ever visited. The place is clean, staff is friendly and food is just awesome. Beef Pho I had tested very balanced, not too salty or greasy but full of subtle flavors.
..k this is awsome for salad rolls..and subs..we love coming here when we in town..very nice staff..and very clean..we be back.
The food was good, when asked if I could have satay on the side, the person who answered the phone didn t know what it was, and insisted it was chill oil, she even asked her boss (it is not this they are 2 very different sauces I was recommended this restaurant and I m glad I was.
New favourite spot. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. More importantly, the food is to die for!
Stopped in this afternoon for lunch and had a wonderful, tasty meal. We had the coconut curry soup and the lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl. The beef was amongst the best Ive had. The soup was so tasty we made sure the bowl was emptied. Great service, never an empty glass. We will be back!
OVER CHARGED be aware and prepared ! See attached pic.
Very good but sizing is very large could not finish meal
THIS PLACE WAS BALM AF THE FOOD HAD ME LIVID I will say the serving is quite large and hard to finish, BUT IF YOUR SUPER HUNGRY I 10/10 EECOMEND and the chicken in the pho is great. The boba is SO GOOD and tastes of nice cream
The Grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli bowl is my favourite dish from here. So healthy but flavourful and filling. The restaurant is very well decorated and the staff were efficient and polite.
Amazing food here. Portion sizes are just monstrous, just the right amount of heat too, will come back soon thats for sure, bubble tea is delicious
Portions huge! Decent flavour! Highly recommend there Spicy satay chicken. Bubble tea was a let down unfortunately but other than that they are super consistent and great young staff! Overall Rate: 7/10
Absolutely delicious vegan food. The peanut sauce is perfect. The two dishes I got were both very flavourful.
I usually dont leave any reviews, but this is probably one of the worst Vietnamese meal Ive ever eaten. Maybe Im comparing to Vancouver standards and have high expectations for Pho. The soup base was tasteless and not hot enough when served to the table. The beef was cut a tad thicker than normal and was difficult to achieve the doneness with the not-so-hot broth. The spring rolls tasted good but $10 for that portion is a bit overpriced. I ordered the dripped coffee. However, it was not served in a traditional fashion with coffee dripping in front of you. Instead, they pulled out a pitcher of coffee from the fridge and mixed with condensed milk and served on ice. Therefore, the iced coffee was bland and missing the bold flavor that Vietnamese drip coffee should have. However, Ill give a 5 star for ambiance and service.
It s very bland . We came with great hopes . And left with much disappointment. Well there are other Vietnamese restaurants in Lethbridge.
First time there today. Wish I went a long time ago. Great food and generous portions
The space is nice and service was good, the appetizers were good but the soups lacked flavour. We also didn t like how they rushed everything out, we didn t get a chance to eat it our appetizers before the soup came so one or the other was cold by the time we got to it. Also didn t like how large the rolls were, could do with 4 smaller spring rolls instead of 2 large ones which didn t have the right deep fried texture being too thick.
Delicious mango drink and lemongrass vermicelli! Just wish they had a more extensive menu
This restaurant is very clean and organized. The service is really good. However, the pho is very disappointed. I tried many pho restaurants in different cities, all of them have pretty similar taste on soup and have Thai basil for pho. This one, the soup is not tasted, there is only mint there. Even the beef, I am not sure if it is beef. Yes, the bowl diameter is larger than others, but it is pretty shallow. The price surprised me. Usually it is $12-16 depend on the size with 5 types of meats, but this is $17 with only 2 types. I do not recommend the pho from this restaurant to who loves vietnamese pho. Maybe others dishes good, but I did not try, they are all more expensive than others all vietnamese restaurants. All in all, different people have different favour, it is still good to try to see if you like it or not.
While this restaurant makes delicious food, it s menu is knowingly misleading. There are several items on the menu that are marked as GF but they are not gluten-free unless you request them to be. These items should be marked as GF AVAILABLE instead. I have brought this to their attention and I am hoping they fix this ASAP. Please deserve to know what they are eating.
Wouldn t take a bubble tea order still 20 minutes until close 8:00pm. That s messed up.
With still 20 mins to close they have already complete shut down the kitchen and throw out all the prepped ingredients for bubble tea, direct words out of the employees mouth. Absolutely horrible. Especially when we just watched a lady walk out with her freshly made drinks. Would not recommend at all.
Had their pork rice bowl. As a Vietnamese person, it tasted just like how we make it at home. Nice and grilled with a good sized portion for what you pay. Would not recommend getting their taro bbt though, they didnt add enough powder and the pearls themselves arent the greatest.
MAMA LA is one of the best restaurants in Southern Alberta. I ve never had Vietnamese food with flavours this good. Portions are huge, too. I m surprised there isn t a lineup around the block every time I go.
Excellent service Very large servings! Too much for me. I rather have options. I have tasted better Vietnamese soup. Parking: Lots of parking
My family s favourite Vietnamese in Lethbridge! The portions are enormous, and very well priced. It was also nice to have vegan options without having to make any changes to the menu! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fresh take on Vietnamese and to support a wonderful local business! We love coming here anytime we are in town.
Great vibe, friendly staff and amazing food! You cant ask for me. Just come early and maybe be ready to wait for a bit as the place has limited seating.
Food is consistently average with no surprises.Still cant figure out why they request a tip when you are picking up an order....maybe because it is put in a bag,it is what you ordered, and is consistently average?
Visiting Lethbridge area, stopped at Mama La for lunch. The beef and beef ball pho was excellent - the broth is one the most flavorful Ive tasted. Also, had a classic cold cut banh mi - fillings were good, but the locally produced roll just cannot complete with a authentic Vietnamese flour/rice flour baguette.
This place is seriously the best. Hands down my favorite restaurant in town. Food is great, I especially love their big bowls for 2.
Delicious! Fresh! Quick! I was very pleased both times Ive been here! Beware, the spring rolls are massive
I was a loyal customer for the first two years of the stores opening. However, since then the restaurants prices have increased by nearly 50%. This is now the most expensive Vietnamese cuisine in the city that holds no significant advantage to competitors other than its location. On top of the increased prices, the restaurant still requests a tip on take out orders. This seems like a growing trend at many restaurants, which is not appropriate if you are not providing any service other than taking payment.
Big portions, very tasty food, friendly staff. Usually do pick up, and its ready in about 20 minutes. Dining room is a bit small and the places are close together, but otherwise fine. Youll be too busy eating to notice much else.
My favorite restaurant of all time bar none. Excellent service, amazing staff, delicious food, great portion sizes, and I cant begin to stress how consistently good my experience is when I eat here. I have enjoyed dining here fairly often nearly since they opened and I have not had one negative experience in any regard.
I really wanted to love this place, the food is great, nice comfortable atmosphere but unfortunately the owner, not so great. Ive been twice and both times Ive left feeling frustrated and a little offended at how the owner talked and treated myself and some of the customers she felt maybe werent worthy of ordering food at her establishment. Again the food is great, I just cant get past being treated poorly when Im wanting to support a local small business. Wish I would but wont be back.
The MamaLa team deliver exceptional food and service every time. We particularly enjoy the soup, stew, salad rolls, sandwiches, bowls .oh we love it all. The food comes from the heart and you can taste it in the broths and sauces. If you are a fan of peanut sauce or chili oil, they make jars to purchase and take home. My favourite restaurant in the city. Vegetarian options: MamaLa has an exceptional selection of vegetarian options.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I havent seen any other Vietnamese restaurants like udon-like, chewy noodles + Mamas fried rice. Good quantity/taste. I took a picture while eating it because I wanted to recommend it. Its not a new picture. Parking: Right in front of the store
Always awesome. Great food, fast service, explains why it is typically always busy. Definitely check this place out if you havent already!
Best in town highly recommend
I had the Vietnamese style Brisket stew as a bit of an experiment. So glad I tried it! I love this restaurant, the atmosphere is amazing, the food was fantastic and the service was 10/10. This place is a must stop in west Lethbridge. Blown away!
We have dined in and through covid have done take out and dined at home. The food is some of the freshest and most flavourful food in town. And this team hustles, they have to. They full on have to work as fast as they can to get the food out and get on the next order because they are so busy because the food is so good. Working at that speed every shift is hard. And still, the food is always fabulous. Thank you Mama La Team.
Amazing fresh food!! The staff are friendly and helpful and is a great place for lunch or supper!
Great people and food
I have nothing but positive feedback to give Mama Las, very attentive and friendly staff, very eager to fix mistakes and go above and beyond. My favorite menu item (satay beef soup) is no longer on the menu however they were happy to re-create it! If you havent tried Mama La youve gotta make a stop here for lunch!
The Caramelized Pork Ribs are probably the best dish in the city.
I have only ordered delivery from Mama La once, never physically been there. Food was delicious and portion was HUGE. I got a vermicelli and one order was way too much for one person! I mean this only in a good way because you re absolutely getting a lot of bang for your buck!
Really good food! They have amazing portions for their prices.
Top Vietnamese restaurant in Lethbridge. I dare say, it s the top Asian restaurant in Lethbridge. Source: I m Asian.
Good food, not the goat though
I had no idea this little gem existed, and wow am I glad we found it. The food is delicious and flavorful, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the portions are incredibly generous!
Cute, little, modern vietnamese restaurant. Very welcoming ambiance. Cleanly. I always get the spicy noodle soup - never disappoints, the flavour is amazing. Spring rolls, pork and spring roll bowls, bbq pork banh mi are must tries. I started going when they first opened up and prices have gone up which is expected. Quality of food has not wavered but quantity has. I ve also tried the taro bubble tea several times and I think it could use a little more flavour.
Food was ok. But my server wasnt nice.
Amazingly fast, great service and the food was fantastic. I had the curry shrimp and it was a huge portion and loaded with shrimp. I would highly recommend.
Just finished an amazing meal with my son. I had the Black Pepper Beef plate where they were happy to substitute extra veggies for the rice or noodles to accommodate my diet. It was delicious and would easily feed two people. My son had the Spicy Beef Noodle soup that hes still trying to finish as I write this review...lol. The cafe style decore is simple and quaint but a little busy and noisy with many pickups and deliveries while we were there.
