Mum Mum Asian Street Food — Restaurant in Melbourne

Located just opposite the Royal Melbourne Hospital and is right in front of the tram stop! This is definitely a hidden gem in North Melbourne.

There is quite a lot to choose from the menu and we decided to order a few dishes to share amongst the two of us. We decided on the entrees deep fried chicken ribs and crispy rice spring rolls and for mains we had the pad kha prao and the soft shell crab yellow curry.

The flavours of each dish were good and the ingredients complemented the dish really well. For entrees, the deep fried chicken ribs were crunchy and cooked well and the spring rolls were really light and crispy. They used a different batter and it made it very light. I really enjoyed the pad kha prao as they used chunks of chicken rather than chicken mince which made it very nice and the soft shell crab curry was good. I liked how the presented the dish and the soft shell crab was still crunchy when it was served. We opted for coconut rice to go with our mains and it went well together.

There is always room for dessert, so we decided on the mango sticky rice. It tasted like the ones you would get in Thailand and the balance of flavours were good. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here and would highly recommend this place if you’re after some good Thai food in the...

I worked in the area and as hospital food isn't really all that great, I ventured out into the surrounding area to see what the local restaurants had to offer. I came across Mum Mum Asian Street Food fairly early in my wanderings and took a liking to it after tasting their pad thai and their lemongrass beef stir fry. I had the lemongrass beef a few times before deciding to branch out and try some of the other dishes on their menu.

I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars overall because their dishes are a hit or miss. The lemongrass beef and the garlic beef stir fries are pretty safe bets and anytime I've had those, I've walked away satisfied. The green curry, the mussaman curry and the jungle curry dishes all tasted watered down and had a very watery consistency. Finally, the veggie spring rolls were a bit bland and the ginger chicken stir fry was extremely oily and the sauce again was watered down. They seem to even water down the sriracha sauce!

All that being said, for the area they're not too bad and the service is extremely fast. If you work at a hospital, your breaks are relatively short and you want to be in and out in record time. This is where this restaurant excels and I'd recommend it over hospital...

So glad to be back at this place recently to enjoy my favourite Thai dishes and Thai desserts😍
