So good, salty, spicy, fried, crispy goodness in that chicken and fried rice was really tasteful too. Will definitely come back! Reasonable pricing as well
As usual amazing food. I love their steamed dumplings. You have to wait a little bit it’s worth the wait. I’m also impressed by how they attend their customers. Yesterday, it really felt like home. We were served free tea, salad (yummy) and candies for my niece. Their staff is always very polite.
Another winner using the Value, Cleanliness, Service & Food Quality benchmarks - this place scores an easy 4 ! A simple uncomplicated and yet challenging (for choice) menu confronts you both in the pictures in the front window and once inside. Our meal was a simple one - Pork and Chinese Cabbage Steamed Dumplings and Green Beans with Pork Mince which the waiter warned us was ‘spicy’ ! He was wrong ! It was one of the most beautifully balanced dishes we’ve had anywhere. The dumplings were divine. Got Mamma’s eye and gave her a big thumbs up which she graciously acknowledged.
Get down here. Shrug off the basic decor and get interested in Mamma’s food ! That is what it’s all about !!
Most Chines food in Mel are Sichuan or Canton style. This place is sth different. The hot dry noodle is very authentic and just love it! The sticky rice pancake is very special and super tasty. Most dishes are spicy, with very good taste. Would love to try more!
Those hot,dry wuhan noodles are certainly something to write home about. I devoured the entire bowl in a flash both times I had them. I also tried the soupy version where the noodles come in a full bodied beefy broth redolent of star anise and cinnamon. Really delicious but also very spicy. The fried rice was tasty but could have done with a bit more meat and vegetables. I noticed the Chinese-speaking diners were supping on some really exotic fare: braised duck bills and whole fried fish atop a bed of noodles. All of it looked and smelt delicious. The mural on the wall and beautiful tableware all add to the whole experience. As do the waiters, who are always polite despite their limited English.
Wuhan dry noodle is pretty authentic ! I had this type of noodle when I worked in Shanghai and what I got from Mamma Kitchen is almost identical 👍
NKOTB, good dumpling but not ready for action ....
1 week old, the newest addition to the strip, you won't miss it as you can only drive about 40 km/hr.
Good and plenty on the Menu, sadly not all are available, either ran out or forgot to order supply ... like the Wuhan Pizza, would be interesting to see what that is.
Pleasant service, a bit slower from the kitchen.
Dumpling wise .... happy to come back, very reasonably priced ..... so Dumpling ON Chadstone. JT-30/05/2017
Quirky little Chinese restaurant on Warrigal Rd right next to Holmesglen station
The welcome was warm and friendly and the place was busy on a Saturday night.
Ordered sweet and sour pork, braised pork both a generous serving of rice. Both dishes were good. The pork was rustic.
Spring Rolls rounded out a solid meal.
Fast service.
Four stars a fair rating.
Hot Dry noodle (热干面）was not as authentic as I would expect.The beef rice noodle exceeded my expectation, although I wish the beef was not as fatty as what I got.
豆皮 and Celery stir fried tofu were delicious.

Mamma Kitchen serves Hubei-Wuhan style cuisine, which is flavourful and not too spicy.
The owner of the joint and the staff members were very helpful and friendly. For English speakers, I would suggest ordering / seeking recommendations from the younger waiter. [You could also show them photos of the dishes posted on Google reviews to order.]
I also saw the owner giving out lollies to patrons with children which I thought was a nice gesture. We received a plate of nuts as an entrée before the dishes came.
We ordered the below.
-Chicken and sea-snails
-Pork belly with potato
-Eggplant dish
-Noodles with sesame sauce
-(Not in photo but highly recommended!) Fried beancurd / tofu skin with rice and mushrooms inside. It’s sort of a wrap.
-(Not in photo) Vegetable dish
The portion was generous. We ordered 6 x dishes for the 3 of us and we definitely could not finish them. Had 3 x boxes for take-away.
Hubei style cuisines are typically not too spicy. It wasn’t spicy at all for me but you can request how spicy you want the dishes you order to be.
[If you eat in this area regularly, chances are you would have eaten at Yangcheng (serves Hunan style cuisine and one of my favourite Hunan restaurant). I find Yangcheng’s food spicy.]
Also, I left the joint not feeling thirsty which probably means no MSG in the food.
This isn’t your typical Chinese restaurant. They specialise in Hubei-Wuhan style cuisine and have all the typical meat (i.e. pork, beef, chicken, etc.) and vegetable cooked with their unique style. Would recommend!
Got noodles very delicious, great portion sizes and very quick service. Went around midday on a Tuesday, wasn’t very busy so was able to be seated right away. The only thing was that the xiao long bao (soup dumpling buns) aren’t made in shop, seems like they’re bought somewhere else
Good to share with friends
Had dinner there. Good quality food at good prices, is byo. Staff very helpful and enthusiastic . Ask for less spicy if you don't like spicy good. Easy parking also helps. Will go again..
