Hungry Mother — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

If you're looking for a spot in SLO to get lunch, this is the perfect spot! My boss ordered the Hot noodle with lemon chicken ($16.50) and I got the Po Boy with tofu protein ($14.50). The selections on the menu are quite accommodating and the Tofu Po Boy was especially delicious. Perfect sizing and proportions don't leave you feeling distended. Well balanced and cooked to perfection.

The Hot Noodle was described as superb by my boss and the portion size is big enough for 2 meals. So if you're looking for value for cost or are in need of a larger meal, the Hot Noodle is up your alley!

While I ordered togo, the inside is absolutely cute with space for small groups if a couple friends want to gather for interior or exterior seating options.

The staff are super friendly and look like they're living the dream. This small, locally owned, restaurant is a fine addition to the...

Casual counter service spot with bright, fresh, Asian flavors (and more). Got the bahn mi, a bag of zapps, and a bottle of green tea. Came in a bit over 20 bucks, but you can easily have a great meal here for under 20.

The sandwich was divine. Soft baguette with a light crust, crunchy veg with a not too strong pickle tang with the peppery cilantro (I'm not the biggest cilantro fan but it was perfect). I chose the roast pork, which with how tender and incredibly juicy it was seems like the obvious choice. I didn't miss the paté usually found in bahn mi's and I thought I would. The pictures don't easily capture the robust portion either. I'm a big hungry guy and I left comfortably full and happy from Hungry Mother. Every table was full when I came in, but one opened up before I finished my order. Come and try this...

Not to be dramatic, but…I couldn’t dream up a more perfect restaurant that checks all my boxes. Incredible flavor and ingredient combos. Fresh, healthy, and scratch-made. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever paid for. Staff is always so friendly and provides helpful suggestions (I can be indecisive). I had the rice bowl with lemongrass chicken and a side of the pork&shrimp cakes because I HAD to try them after they were described to me. It was all so delicious, I’m glad the chopsticks make me slow down and savor the meal longer. I ate it all. I will eat here every time I visit SLO. Wish I had this restaurant at home! This place is a gem. Everyone...
