Mama Hongs in Los Angeles

Great place for Vietnamese takeout! The bahn mi is fantastic and Ive heard other things on the menu are also tasty and well-priced. Would definitely try more.

It’s about time I review this place! I’ve had just about everything on the menu. Here is a brief summary of each meal I’ve tried:Pho - The Pho here is solid. I wouldn’t say this is a “Pho spot”, but since it’s the only close place to get Pho in this area I’m not complaining. I prefer the chicken Pho. The broth pairs well with the packet of hoisin and Sambal they provide.Grill combos - I find these meal combos to be the best bang for your buck. You get a large portion, and can even add an egg roll. My favorite would be the Grilled Rib Eye Steak. The Pork chop is also worth a try. Make sure you pair the meat of your choice with the Vermicelli noodles!From The Wok - The Shaken Beef with garlic noodles was really tasty! The tenderloin was perfectly tender. The only veggie in this dish is onion, so you’ll likely want to accompany this meal with a spring roll. The Spicy Garlic Tofu and Chicken variations of the dish definitely warrant a try!Banh Mi - These Vietnamese sandwiches are the safe option when you don’t know what to get here. They won’t disappoint! I loved the Spicy Garlic Chicken Banh Mi. It had a sweet and spicy sauce in a small baguette that wasn’t to thick.Spring Rolls - These are ok. The dipping sauce is key, as they over stuff lettuce in these with a small amount of meat.Other Appetizers - I prefer the Egg Rolls over the Spring rolls. You can get one egg roll with your grill combo, or get 2-4 as an appetizer. The cream cheese wontons are always a hit, however it didn’t come with sweet chili sauce. You may need to request this. The Spicy Salt and Pepper Wings were underwhelming. They were not spicy at all, and didn’t pack a ton of flavor.Mama Hong’s used to have seating, but they moved locations and it’s only to-go orders now. I recommend calling ahead because there is usually a long wait.If your itching for some Vietnamese cuisine in West LA, then this place will tick most of the boxes. I can’t promise you that every meal will blow your mind, but I can assure you there is something on this menu that will make you happy!

**This location doesn’t have dine-in, only take out!! Very quick and thoughtful service. The soup base is legit! Feels like no MSG added. Love it. The rolls are relatively average, tasted less herbal. Overall a delightful takeout experience! Will come again when craving for Vietnamese pho!

The restaurants is take out only. the service was okay. Had to wait quite a bit to pick up the order. The food was surprisingly good.

My favorite place for Pho on the westside! Always the best quality and a healthy portion. Do yourself a favor and order online in advance (as the pick up process is quick and easy). Just be warned, the parking lot can be a little nutty.

This place is great! Wonderful staff and delicious food at surprising prices!Started off with the traditional pork and shrimp spring rolls and the shrimp torpedoes (couldn’t resist with a name like that) to share. I got the classic traditional combo beef pho as with sliced steak, brisket, fatty brisket, and tendon in a size LARGE which defeated me with the quantity of it.Also I just want to give a shoutout to the fact that I asked for extra limes and I got this massive bowl of lime wedges. Every other Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been to it’s like pulling teeth to get extra but the staff at Mama Hong’s were so generous right away!

Ive been coming here forever, and recently I noticed that the shrimp spring rolls only contains 2 shrimp, cut in half to look like 4. I feel like it use to be 4 full shrimp. Especially with the dramatic rise in prices, I just cant accept this even in this economy.

The Nem neung (pork spring rolls) are large and have the egg roll in the middle. Cream cheese wontons were incredible. Pork vermicelli noodles were on point. Chicken broth had a hint of ginger and was amazing!

I’m always looking for great bun cha, but unfortunately this place isn’t the one to go to. Overall the dish was very bland and the fish was cooked with dill. Not the most super authentic tasting meal :(The staff were super friendly and we waited about 10 mins for our food to be ready. FYI this location doesn’t have a dine-in option, take out only.

Carry-out at West LA. No seating. Just grab your food and go enjoy it! I liked the steak sandwich and the roasted pork too!
