"If you’re looking to get hard-to-find regional Thai dishes almost any night of the week (except Tuesday), mosey on over to Mama Mu’s Bistro in the Outer Sunset. Almost every dish here is a massive umami bomb that’s full of slow-building spice, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. While they do make excellent Thai classics like pad kee mao with chewy noodles and a crunchy tum thai, you’re really here for the regional bowls. We especially like the Phuket bowl of pepper-laden ka nom jeen nam ya yellow curry. And even if you don't typically round out your weeknight meals with dessert, there’s no way you should skip the mango sticky rice. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway

"Mama Mu’s Bistro is a Thai spot in the Sunset that serves small plates and bowls like a kao pad poo fried rice with crab meat, a Bangkok bowl full of pad kra pao pork, and peek gai tod chicken wings. The space is small, with just a few wooden tables and flowers. " - Ricky Rodriguez

Great tasting food like when I was in Thailand for a 2 week vacation. Prices are expected for SF pricing. Starters could be slightly bigger portions especially on the fish cake. Overall great service. Temperature was a bit on the warm side but maybe a open window in the back or front of the restaurant could resolve this.

Really good Thai food. Their spicy chicken basil is one of the most authentic and delicious variations of the dish in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like how they add a spicy fish sauce on the side to take the flavor to 11. Appreciate how they have a relatively small menu that allows them to focus on quality. Although would like to see a couple more chicken noodle dishes, or something like a chicken pad Thai. They have generous portion sizes and the ingredients are fresh and quality.

Delicious food… truly mind blowing getting exposed to a different subset of flavors in the Thai world!! I’ve been here a handful of times as they were ramping up and have to say I’ve loved all the dishes so far! Complex flavors without being overpowering. Super balanced with great plating and presentation as well! New spot, but I know they’re gonna blow up soon… go there before it gets so popular… go there when it’s popular too! Haha this is SF we love brick n mortars! And more importantly we love good food 😊

The flavors here were really good - the broth that came with the drunken noodles was rich and deep, reminded me of what someone's mom would make. Pretty rare for a restaurant. It wasn't too salty or too strong, but very balanced.

Best Thai food I’ve had in the Sunset! We tried the Khao soi, Drunken noodles, papaya salad and mango sticky rice. The chicken in the khao soi and noodles were super tender. We are excited to come back and try the other dishes!

Genuinely some of the tastiest, most authentic Thai food I've ever tried! Hands down the most exciting Thai menu SF has to offer for the pricepoint. Such friendly, accommodating staff and their food never disappoints.

Amazing Thai foods that probably is authentic than most of Thai restaurants in SF . I get disappointed when sweetness overpowers the flavors of spices and ingredients which tend to be in many Thai restaurants to cater American tastes . This place is definitely not . The flavors of the different dishes we try were mind blowing. We can’t wait to go back to try different dishes on the menu !

We were in the area to visit relatives and stopped in for a quick lunch. The Bangkok rice with chicken was so delicious and flavorful with a beautiful presentation. If I lived in the area Mama Mu's Bistro would be on my favorites list.
