We were really impressed by the quality of the food at Mamahuhu! I grew up in Hong Kong so it’s fair to say I know a good pineapple bun when I taste it! Not to mention the service was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend this place!

Yes! So glad to have a casual and clean place for Chinese-American in Mill Valley!Mamahuhu’s second location has all of the charm of the original - really awesome artwork, family-friendly booths and spacious seating, and easy counter service.We had a great experience with Nikesh, who led us through the menu and pointed out all the great vegetarian and vegan options available - it’s nearly everything! Almost all the dishes are available either with meat or without, so you don’t miss out on any of your favorites!We particularly loved the Sweet + Sour Cauliflower (a veg version of classic Sweet + Sour Chicken). The cauliflower nuggets were nearly the same texture and consistency as the meat version, and didn’t loose their crunchy exterior (even as leftovers!) We also got the Cabbage Salad - it may not look like it but it’s actually really flavorful! Love love love the dressing!Don’t skip the sauce trio available for take home. Elevates even the most boring post-soccer practice dinners at home to something with a little more sparkle.We just read about their Strava Adventure Challenge - so perfect for Mill Valley! (Ask the staff for more details!)Glad to have you here, Mamahuhu 🧡

Mama Mia! This is awesome food, had mushroom mapo tofu and Chungking chicken (Laaaazii ~). 😋🤤Amazingly delicious. Crisp flavors and depths. Probably, great after burners, too 😮‍💨🌋🤪. Need to go back for more, soon!It’s a mama WaoWao!

Update: I’m reducing this rating to 3 stars because they changed their menu to be much more limited. The laaazi chicken is very good but battered and fried, just like the sweet and sour chicken. There are no more fish dishes. The chow mein is not GF. We haven’t been back much because everything is fried, spicy, meat forward, or gluten forward (or a combo). No longer my cup of tea.Old review: 5 starsI absolutely love this place. I’ve eaten in the restaurant, I’ve had both takeout and delivery, and I’ve even been to the location in the city! The fish under water is fire (I have to get it every time), kung pao chicken and sweet and sour chicken are amazing. (When I had the sweet and sour cauliflower I found it to be a little one-note and just sweet). I would say I’ve been disappointed by the “jade rice” because, as you can see from the photo, it hardly has any kale. But the egg rolls, salads, and desserts are great. And so are the beverage options.Hands down, the #1 reason I eat here is not just because it’s delicious, but because of the better-for-you ingredients. Fish, grass fed beef, all the vegan options, the gluten free sweet and sour batter— this is a place where you can eat what you want and still feel great after. Also I find the prices to be super reasonable.I’m so happy this place is in Mill Valley. Please eat here! You won’t regret it.

A wonderful spot for lunch after a long hike through the woods! We had their “Jewish Christmas” special - Lox Rangoon. Wow!!!! Such a fun way to celebrate cultures coming together! And delicious - wish this was a permanent fixture on the menu. We loved our meal!

Newly opened asian food in Mill Valley. A bit on the pricey side ~$20 per head~ but makes for a filling lunch if you want to eat solo, healthier, and enjoy smaller portions. The mapo tofu was VERY spicy and not for the faint of heart (not exactly the mapo tofu sauce I was expecting but the flavor was alright). Cucumber salad was cool and refreshing. Dont skip the boba ice cream, it was super delish and gluten free!

We love Mamahuhu, and drive up from SF just to eat here. Heres what I love: the menu items are incredible (and a lot of veg options), prices are reasonable, the space is modern and well-designed, and the team is very kind and attentive. Seems like a great place for families, too. A great restaurant concept all-around.

By my opinion, one of the best, Asian Chinese restaurant I have ever had in the bay area. Super up-to-date at the same time extremely authentic. And very affordable for the high-quality material they provide.

Great healthy Chinese fusion food! Great food. Excellent staff. And cruisy vibe. Order at the counter and then food is delivered to your table. Try the brocoli and mushroom dish.... Simply awesome!

They charge 5% for ‘employee health’ and 1% for something else. This would be fine if they told you up front, but they flip the iPad after they’ve gone past the extra charges leaving you with a minimum 18% tip option for what is basically to go food. So all in the tip was 24%. I only noticed afterwards as I checked the receipt.We had no server and we’re expected to clean up our plates.-Why are we paying for employee healthcare?-why try and hide it and then make the minimum tip 18%?The food was ok but everyone in our party went to the toilet at least 5 times the next day. This doesn’t align with their food ethos. So I’m guessing if they are dodgy with the tipping process then they are dodgy with the ingredients.

Overall I really like this place. Quality ingredients. Good simple menu. The ma po is fantastic but wow it’s really spicy and I love hot spicy food but it’s almost too much. I think for many it would overwhelm them. The other two concerns are after several months they still aren’t serving wine which is odd but they say will be remedied soon. The other which is more concerning but also easily fixed is that it’s annoyingly bright. Really bright. Other than that all good. Will go back. UPDATE - wine now available! Lighting not just dimmed but updated and much much better. 5 stars now !!!

Being in the area after work on Chinese New Year, this was the be best place kind of on default to welcome the Year of the Rabbit. Had egg rolls and chow mein. Neither was too outstanding, good as the usual expectations.

Best Chinese restaurant in Marin. I frequently ordered from the SF location, so glad to see this location open up!The sweet and sour chicken has the best crunch, and the new laaazi chicken is just the right amount of spicy — addictively delicious. I find myself going multiple times a week.

The food is fresh and fantastic. Flavors are much more complex, subtle, and nuanced than any other Chinese food Ive eaten. I got the Broccoli Beef and it was delicious. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the beef was tender and flavorful, without being masked in sauce. I also really enjoyed the banana cake parfait. The egg rolls were light, fresh, and crispy. Looking forward to going again.

I have eaten here 2 times in the past 2 weeks. I loved the crunchy cabbage salad, kung Pao smoked tofu, sweet and sour cauliflower (gf), and the boba soft serve sundae!!! The vegan mapo tofu was too spicy for me; I would not get it again. But I would eat the cabbage salad, tofu and soft serve every week!!!The woman who runs the restaurant is very nice and helpful. Fast service! The atmosphere is casual and clean.

Mill Valley needed an affordable fast casual spot and they got it! Fantastic Chinese food. You can tell they are using very high quality ingredients. I have had it three times already and it’s incredibly consistent as well. Highly recommend.

The menu may seem relatively simple at a glance, but the flavors are nuanced and complex. We really enjoyed their take on beef & broccoli, and the chrysanthemum salad was delicious. The ying-yang parfait was lighter and less sweet than expected: a very nice way to end your meal. Will definitely return and dine again soon.

I am incredulous that these reviews are of the same place we ate last night. We heard that there was a new Chinese restaurant open in Mill Valley. The place was staffed by two teens in t-shirts, who sat behind the counter as we seated ourselves. No one came over to check on us, and we had to figure out that we needed to order at the counter. We then ordered at the counter, and the credit card machine had helpful tips at 25%, 22%, and 18%. I stupidly gave them an 18% tip, before realizing we were going to get no service at all. They dropped the food on the table when all was ready - they did not bring the drinks or appetizers first, as any waiter in any restaurant in the world would do. The food was cold except for the spring rolls, which were very good. The chow mein tasted burnt, the portion sizes of the beer and entrees were very small. No one ever came to see if we needed anything, and didn’t even bother to say goodbye when we left. To say we will never return is an understatement. I hope management reads this and actually gives the teenage staff some training in how to actually work in a restaurant. I will be curious to see if this place is still here in 6 months. Oh, for the good old days of Jennie Low’s!

High quality Chinese food at moderate prices. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, mapo tofu, jade fried rice and West Lake beef soup. Wife ordered the chicken and it was... sweet (not my thing but maybe yours), sour and had good crunch. The jade fried rice is good/clean, heavy on the garlic so beware if ordering for kids. The beef soup was also good and light and actually good for kids. The star for me is the mapo tofu, one of the best Ive had in a restaurant. Authentic doubanjiang flavor (which surprisingly I dont always find even in more homey Sichuan restaurants). Its not sweet at all, light on the peppercorn so its not overly numbing/sweaty spicy (if thats your thing) and delicate silken tofu. Only complaint would be more ginger for me. The boba soft serve was also very good and refreshing. Id definitely come back for the mapo tofu.

Food was SO much better than your run of the mill Chinese. It was flavorful and abundant for the cost. We will come here often!! The high school kids working at the front were so kind and helpful. So happy this is a new option in Mill Valley!

Oh dear, I was intrigued with the reviews that said: unique spices, wonderful flavors,etc Heres what I tasted: tomatoe sauce, vinegar and smoke flavoring in all the dishes. Thats it. I had to put chili sauce on everything just to drown out the overpowering tastes I mentioned. The fish dish smelled fishy too. Yuck! Very lackadaiscal service too, and whats with the small bowls for food? I just dont get this Chinese restaurant at all.

Marin is a better food scene because of this exceptionally delicious Chinese food. Our go-to for authentic food that also has such a California-flair.
