Mam Mam — Restaurant in Austin

Rating: 4.4/5 [take out]

We placed an online order for a late lunch on a Thursday, and it was ready within 25 minutes. They're located inside Wingman Kitchen, which doesn't have a staffed front counter. However, you can see directly into the kitchen, and when we arrived, someone noticed us and came out to hand us our order.

Fish Sauce Caramel Wings ($12 | GF): These were chicken wings and drumsticks coated in a fish sauce caramel, topped with chopped herbs, pickled chilies, and fried garlic. The pieces were large and packed with umami. The flavors were good, but the fish sauce left a slightly fishy aftertaste that I didn't enjoy. A few of the drumsticks were red near the bone, and when we brought it to their attention, they refunded us.

Ba's Egg Roll ($5 | GF): A large, gluten-free pork egg roll served over a bed of lettuce and herbs with a side of fish sauce. It was flavorful, crispy, and satisfying. The wrapper had a unique texture--slightly chewy and a bit sticky on the teeth--but not a big issue.

Pork Belly Vermicelli ($14 | GF): Vermicelli noodles topped with fried pork belly, mixed herbs, ginger scallion oil, crushed peanuts, and served with a side of nuoc mam cham. The pork belly was quite fatty, thinly sliced, and had a nice crispy edge. Unfortunately, it lacked the bold flavor I was expecting and reminded me a bit of boiled pork like bossam. Overall, the dish didn't stand out, and I'd probably skip...

There is a growing number of food places to choose from in this food court, but u suggest you round the corner and visit Mam Mam Vietnamese food before you commit to anything.

First off, very friendly staff!! Also, very smart menu, just a few high quality items to choose from, which is appreciated so I don't get lost in options :)

I am a sucker for pork belly over anything else so I opted for the pork belly vermicelli. And I added in an egg roll.

After a short wait, the food came out and it was delicious! 😋

Eggroll - really good size and stuffed to the brim!!! I think a couple of those could be a meal in itself. Very tasty, served with a dipping sauce (same or similar to what comes with vermicelli... sweet and tart at the same time and delicious.)

The pork belly did not disappoint!!! It was first of all plentiful, and perfectly cooked with a light beating on the outside, and the meat itself was nice and tender, great combination of fat and meat, as a pork belly should be :) It was served on a bed of noodles, carrots, peanuts, mint and with the vermicelli-sauce (i don't know what else to call it..... comes with most vermicelli so I sat vermicelli-sauce ;) )

Great cooking, friendly staff and a good-size serving and I'll definitely have it again. Or try something else...... 🤔

We stopped by for lunch on our way back home to Fort Worth. Ordering online was easy. There is plenty of seating in the building. My family of 4 purposely over ordered so we'd have leftovers for dinner:

Chicken & Rice – The chicken is so tender, and you get a little soup on the side Larb Hed – Has a small kick to it, but you can get extra spicy to add if you like it extra spicy Hat Yai Fried Chicken – The skin was extra crispy and delicious Gaeng Neur Roti – Mine and my husband’s favorite dish! The Curry is very flavorful, the meat is extremely tender and the roti (flatbread) is crispy and a perfect compliment Honey-lemongrass baby back ribs – The ribs were fall off the bone and flavorful Cafe Sua Da custard – I typically do not like custard, but this was very good. The crunchy topping makes it extra delicious and the coffee flavor is not too strong Egg rolls – made with spring roll wrappers, traditional Vietnamese style and extra delicious Nuoc mam chicken wings – My son’s favorite. Great flavor, crisp and cooked to perfection

Every single dish was delicious! 10/10 recommend. I wish I took pictures but we started chowing down before I remembered too. They have a lot good pictures depicting the dishes on their Instagram page.

Mam Mam is located inside Springdale...
