Mama-an Eatery - Anaheim

The food here is sooooo gooood!!! I think they have the best bánh mỳ chảo in OC. If it's your first time here, I would recommend you called different types of Bánh Mỳ Chảo depending on the number of people you have. So if you have 3 people then call 1 ribeye truffle (my favorite one as it's easy-to-eat flavor, 1 Sichuan peppercorn (the flavor might be hard for Vietnamese elders to eat but it's good), the last one can be pork meat ball (I haven't try but it should be good) or beef tenderloin (it's easy to eat and taste good like the ribeye truffle one too but I think it's little bit salty for my personal taste). And you definitely need to call for 1 more portion of bread for each person because the one they give you won't be enough unless you don't want to get too full.

Don't go to or eat at MAMA AN Eatery located at 614 S Brookhurst St, Anaheim,Ca.92804. It's under new ownership and the old owner is rude and doesn't care about customers. Plus the Food is terrible and took over 1 hr after order to receive it. The Pho Wagyu was not made with wagyu beef and the soup was unbeatable, the Pho Ga was made with frozen Chicken( tasted like Costco Chicken for $4.99).

First time here at this spot for breakfast! It's a little hidden restaurant that's located in the Stater Brothers shopping center. It's super cute ambiance inside and great customer service! We ordered 2 Ube coffee's a match coffee. We got the mix and match pork ball skillet, Szechuan wagyu skillet, ribeye skillet that come with pate( delicious) pho. The skillets reminded me of a deconstructed banh mi, but so much more flavor! Omg it was so rich and savory! I wanted to order more off the menu!! I would like to come back and order something new! The skillet comes with warm French baguettes. I'll be dreaming about this...

Love love love the taro coffee. Must try!We came very early in the morning right at the opening hour so I feel like the food is hot but not sizzling hot (which would have been nicer for this type of food) but other than that it is super delicious. Will come back again

I 'm so happy that I don 't have to drive all the way to Nếp Cafe in Fountain Valley to enjoy elevated Vietnamese food. Don 't let the mom and pop name of the restaurant fool you, Mama An 's culinary fare consists of modern and stylish takes on traditional Vietnamese dishes that are not only delicious but also beautiful to look at. This restaurant really succeeds in delivering on both bold flavor and presentation with their food. It makes me wonder why so many people don 't know about this gem of a restaurant yet because it was not busy at all when I ate there today for lunch.I had their shaken beef with rice and my mother had the banh mi chao. We also got these cute and yummy lemonades that came complimentary with the entrees (so not only is the food good, you also get a deal here).Now, for the shaken beef, I really liked that it 's an elevated version of the dish that I 've grown up eating multiple times. My previous experiences eating shaken beef at restaurants merely consisted of the beef, white rice, and a simple salad of lettuce, tomato and cucumber. And so, the dish at Mama An 's was a very pleasant change; it was new yet still recognizable as a shaken beef dish. The flavors of the savory beef, the slight bitterness and acidity of the garnish, and the mellowness of the herb rice all worked really well together I practically inhaled my whole plate and cleaned it too.My mother, who comes here more often than me, had the banh mi chao, which is basically Vietnamese steak and eggs. She personally thinks the dish here is better than the one from Nếp Cafe and that the food at this restaurant generally is a better bang for the buck. She believes that everything, especially the eggs, were cooked better and not as overly rich compared to Nếp 's. In addition, Mama An offers many different variations of banh mi chao. I really hope that more people, especially the OC 's Vietnamese community who might not be aware of this place, will notice this restaurant and give it a shot because it definitely deserves more recognition and foot traffic.
