    Easy to make a reservation, right in the heart of Temple Bar, perfect for date nights. Just wave to wait outside till they come get you, then you’re shuffled off to particular floor and table. From there the magic begins, fancy drinks very typical to generational period. Food is off the chains good!! We started with cheese and meat boards, old fashioned and some other frothy drink similar to a pornstar martini… server was so great, kind and attentive. Bar tender served drinks like a maestro… cants wait to go back again!

    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!
