Mama San Invercargill — Restaurant in Invercargill City

Top Star restaurant experience!! My partner and I met up with another friend from out of town. The staff looked after us so well, we never felt forgotten or rushed, and the food was absolutely incredible whether entree, main, or dessert. The Taste of Asia entree platter was great value, and my lamb massamun was properly spicy. Drinks were fabulous too. Delicious house sake, I really enjoyed my coconut cream mango lassi, and our friend was very happy with the affogato with Vietnamese drip coffee. Zero disappointment and we all walked away very satisfied and with boxes of leftovers for later.

It was a really pleasant atmosphere for meeting with a friend. Even when it was very busy it wasn't too noisy. Excellent, friendly service. Thank you to the staff for being patient with us being the last to leave. We had not met up for a long time so we lost track of time talking! That's also why I don't have photos of my food as I usually do.

Tried Mama San tonight for take away. Ordered the spare ribs and the Korean chicken with kimchi. What a disappointment, the meat on the spare ribs was very dry with a sickly sweet sauce with a bad aftertaste but nothing a big glass of water couldn't fix. Korean fried chicken is as Korean as my name, as for the kimchi just a table spoon of this ingredient. As for the food containers being an extra $3 each that's desperation . It was $15 each so $30 for both, way over priced for what I received. Won't recommend or return. Actually $15.90...
