Mama's Buoi

Tried all the Mama’s Buoi restaurants now and must must say, I’m a real fan! Just love dining at any of The Tramshed restaurants in general, and now that MB has been added to the list, I’m sure we will continue to visit regularly! So much choice for vegans too! Delightful decor which exudes happiness, colour and joy! Started with Hanoi style fried spring rolls (vegetarian and prawn), freshly rolled rice paper rolls (pork and prawn, tofu w avocado) and crispy coconut tiger prawns. For a main the homestyle chicken curry with lemongrass and vegetables was so nourishing and hearty with large chunks of chicken in a mild curry sauce! Also ordered two dishes of the "bun" - traditional vermicelli noodle salad (w whole juicy tiger prawns and one w mushroom and tofu). So colourful, fresh and delicious! Just made another booking for a special birthday coming up! Can't wait!

After Crows Nest and Surry Hills, Mamas Buoi has now opened a new restaurant in Tramsheds. Mamas Buoi is funky, cool and has brought all of their well-known deliciousness with them. In case you were wondering, Tramsheds is Sydney’s newest food destination near Harold Park in Glebe. Its European food hall style is the perfect host for Mamas Buoi’s modern and edgy look. With a mixture of large and small tables tastefully decorated, Mama’s Buoi is the perfect venue for any occasion.

We visited the newly opened Mama's Buoi at the Tramsheds dining precinct. The Tramsheds were once the location of the Harold Park Harness Racing. This venue and the quality of its restaurants is in stark contrast to the sausage sandwiches, VB and Vodka Cruisers that were served up in it's past life. Tramsheds hosts a range of cafes and restaurants and we visited the new Mama's Buoi which has a cool modern set up, with an open kitchen and bar. There is plenty of colour splashed around the restaurant and some fluorescents which pop in contrast to the black steel beams and warehouse setting of the Tramsheds. The Mama's Buoi brand is known for serving consistent high quality Vietnamese cuisine. A menu inspired by the founder Bao Hoang’s mum, there are a range of foods to share amongst friends. The food director comes with a wealth of experience and has designed a high quality menu and they serve their Vietnamese food at five different locations. Having visited their Surry Hills, Crows Nest and now Tramsheds location, we can attest to the fabulous food they have on offer. The drinks list is also tops with Mama's Buoi always impressing with great cocktails. The frozen cocktails were on the cards, the innovative frozen kambucha was refreshing and was well suited to the food being served and great for warm days ahead. This visit involved a banquet menu allowing us to sample a range of items on the menu, which is the intention of the restaurant. The entrees were all very enticing with some popular Vietnamese bites including; duck pancakes, salt and pepper squid, roast pork belly and our favourite entree on the list being the crispy Coconut prawns coated with coconut strips for added texture and crunch. The mains included a the wok tossed seafood and Mama's beef stir fry, both having nicely balanced flavours. The home style chicken curry had delicate flavours and the chicken was ridiculously tender. The smokey eggplant was super tasty and is a good vegetarian option. The crab fried rice, something a little more special than your usual fried rice. For dessert we had the opportunity to try something amazing, with an old favourite: the creme brulee getting a Vietnamese twist. The Vietnamese coffee creme brûlée impressed all. diners. It was a great dessert, channelling the Vietnamese coffee which is always a favourite with the beautiful texture of the brûlée to pay homage to the French. It was another enjoyable visit to Mama's Buoi in a great new location. It features attentive service and food on par with the other Mama's Buoi restaurant's. Make sure you pop by, grab a bite to eat and enjoy one of their frozen cocktails.

Absolutely delicious! Wonderful Tamarind curry and Crab fried rice (recommend trying the rice with several spoonfuls of the curry liquid). The pork spring rolls were well filled and very tasty. The staff were friendly and we were served quickly. In a highly competitive area like Tramsheds, Mama's Buoi does well for itself.
