    We were a party of 7, 4 adults and 3 young boys. We had an amazing time m. The boys (who are quite fussy eaters) ate everything! The food was exceptional, would highly recommend. The waiting staff were all meticulously mannerly and checked just enough that everything was to our satisfaction.

    Tremendous staff, great atmosphere and delicious food! Dylan McGrath is a giant of Irish cooking and last night was once again proof of that. A simple Roast Pumpkin and Honey soup was an absolute showstopper and possibly one of the very best soups we have ever eaten. Dylan was overseeing everything and brings so much joy to the entire experience. Can’t wait to return.

    If you’re looking for a dining experience that truly stands out, look no further than Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff are not only friendly but also highly attentive, ensuring every aspect of your meal is perfect. The atmosphere is nothing short of outstanding. The interior design is beautifully curated, blending traditional Chinese elements with modern elegance, creating a space that’s both inviting and visually stunning. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or a special someone, the ambiance at Mama Yo is ideal for any occasion. But the true star of the show is, of course, the food. The menu is a masterpiece, offering a variety of exquisite dishes that are bursting with flavor and prepared with the finest ingredients. While everything we tried was fantastic, the Lemon Chicken deserves a special mention. Perfectly cooked and coated in a tangy, sweet glaze, it was hands down the best dish of the evening. Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant is the perfect blend of excellent service, exquisite cuisine, and an outstanding atmosphere. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Highly recommended!
