Mama Wong's Dumpling and Noodle House

A must-visit in Cambodia! We came back 5 more times! ​Our first lunch stop in Cambodia turned into our absolute favorite—we ended up visiting six times in total! While they are famous for their incredible noodles (the Beef Noodle Soup and Dan Dan noodles did NOT disappoint), my personal favorite was the Spicy Wontons. ​I loved the potstickers, sliders and crispy beef! We finally tried the spicy cucumber salad on our last day—it was the perfect mix of apice and cool bite. One of the best parts is the condiment tray; with extra chili garlic, soy, and vinegar on the side, you can customize every dish exactly to your taste. And how can I forget the spring onion pancake, a repeat offender on our menu. ​The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. 10/10—don't miss this spot!

We shared several dishes at this restaurant. We did not like any of them. The pastry on the chicken satay dumplings was far too thick. The salt and pepper squid was rubbery. The pork and prawn dumplings were tasteless and the "large" plate of Peking duck rolls was presented as a paltry serve. Extremely disappointed after previous good reviews.There were 2 other people dining and we had to call downstairs to ask for our bill. It was also overpriced.

I visited Mama Wong countless times, it is my favourite lunch / dinner restaurant in Phnom Penh. Their Taiwanese Style Beef Noodle Soup is an absolute must try, and so are the Spring Onion Pancakes. The Beef Noodle Soup is delicious, rich in flavour and their Spring Onions are crispy and tender. The prices are amazing, service kind and efficient.

I tried Mama Wong recently and overall it was pretty good. The beef noodle soup was tasty — the broth had nice flavor and the beef was soft and easy to eat. The stir-fried noodles were also solid, well-seasoned and satisfying. As for the dumplings, I didn’t really enjoy them. Maybe it’s just personal taste, but they didn’t stand out to me. If you’re into noodles, this place is worth checking out.

Alright, let me just say it: Mama Wong’s hit the spot. I went to Bassac Lane especially to try Mama Wong's. Safe to say—it did not disappoint. I went straight for the dumplings—beef and shrimp. No games. Honestly? Some of the best I’ve had in Cambodia. The skins were soft but held together, and the fillings were legit flavorful. Not oily, not bland—just straight-up tasty. You could tell they weren’t rushed. The place has this laid-back, cozy vibe. It’s not fancy or trying too hard, which I love. Indoors is air-conditioned (bless), but if you sit outside, you get that chill Bassac Lane energy. Music’s good, staff are actually friendly—not the fake kind. They’ll chat if you want or leave you be. Honestly, if you’re in Phnom Penh and not eating at Mama Wong’s at least once, you’re missing out. It’s not some overhyped Instagram spot—it’s just solid, well-made food with flavor that slaps.

Mama Wong’s is mediocre, and I don’t understand why people rave about it. The dumplings are meh, the service is just okay, and if you’ve ever had Taiwanese beef noodles or dumplings in Taiwan, this would feel like an absolute travesty by comparison. I’m being generous giving it 3/5 stars, and whenever I’m on Bassac Lane, you’ll find me consciously avoiding this place.

Our second visit here. We had two different kinds of dumplings. They were fantastic. But we also highly recommend to taste the Crème Brulée as a desert. It is the most delicious Crème Brulée I‘ve ever tasted! Thank you for this unforgettable culinary experience!

Ordered via foodpanda. Packaging was quite sustainable and also proper. Food was great, very homey and affordable. Lot of good choice of the dumpling and filling was full. Taste good ~
