Kinda disappointed of food after traveling quite far. Food lacking authenticity. There’s no authentic flavor honestly calling them Vietnamese restaurant is a hoax. When I walked in I asked for table for 2 and were waiting for the food and food came out in take out containers. We didn’t make a fuss and took the food and left. My spicy mami sandwich had good amount of chicken but there was no spice just a regular chicken sandwich. I was expecting chicken cooked with authentic spices rather than just checked cutlet or some sort. I would not recommend this place if you looking for that authentic Vietnamese flavors.

A truly amazing eatery serving up some seriously great grub! My favorite was their take on a chopped cheese , the meat was so so tender ! And don't miss out on the crazy loaded fries so cheesy! && u can wash it all down with a Thai tea, the owner takes a lot of pride in making sure every detail is perfectly curated.

Great spot don’t get me wrong the food is always great whether dine in or take out, but when we dined in the floors were so greasy/slippery in the restaurant that my 9 year old I nanny for slipped really hard when throwing out her garbage. Bathroom was the same nervous slippery feeling. I will only come back for take out.

The Breakfast Sandwich was amazing. Eggs, vegetables, and Vietnamese flavor. Pad Thai was ok. The interior needs more decoration for a better vibe.

My husband and I order from here often. Our usual is the Chicken Pad Thai, which is super tasty with some spice to it and the Pork Fried Rice, extra spicy. The rice is my absolute favorite--garlickly, spicy and the pork bits are so tender and tasty. The portion sizes are on the bigger side, which is appreciated. We have never been to the physical restaurant, but delivery has always been good!

This Pad Thai had small shrimp vs the larger size I am used to. The sauce was spicy and not offset by sweet, there was also a smoked flavoring that is not usually included; it would have tasted better w/o this. I asked for half chicken half shrimp, they put lime flavored chicken pieces in a separate container so these pieces were hard n dry. This was very mid for the price. Disappointed.

Continues to be one of favorite places in the area, I get lunch from here often. Love their pad thai, spicy chicken sandwich, baos. Orders are always ready when I show up for pick up.

My husband picked up take-out last night for the first time at MaMi, we are big fans of Pho, the food was amazing, I ordered the spicy jerk Pho, the chicken avocado spring roll, husband ordered pork fried rice and coconut fries, (fries were a bit soggy but the sauce was great) and a pillowy BaoBun, everything was so full of flavor, I still haven't eaten the spring roll, it was too much food, lol, we're so happy to have such a great Vietnamese restaurant nearby, Thank you MaMi!!
Ma Mi? Mommy? Ma Mi is my Mommy? We can discuss that at a later time. It was a Friday afternoon, 5PM. Hit the road to go clown around outside of Closter with the misses. Needed some fresh, something new... something that I could eat in the car and it still be of high quality. After diabolically massaging my way through all options on Yelp, I came to the decision that it was time to duck and dive into Ma Mi's Eatery. I so did not want to be disappointed, I put my faith in my mommy and hoped with my humble and hogwartish heart that it would pay off like I paid off that guy I "ran over" last week bc I was "yelping and driving." The menu really hits it right on the big fat nose. I couldn't have written it better myself and most call me the Mark Twain of this Sawyer. Starters include dumplings and spring rolls. Got the dumps and made light work of them, little bumps before the partayyyyy if ya catch my drift. They got some Pho but I didn't Pho around with that this go around, and I slid passed the sandwiches although they did intrigue me... I must said oh they did intrigue me. Next time... next time Linguini. They've then got two little playaaaas. Plenty of Bao Buns and Fry options. Really knocks your socks off just did not expect this situation. This conundrum. So many decisions, yet was I feeling decisive? Bc I'm so lean and mean I made sure my eyes avoided the fries and I instead forced an order of BBQ Pork Bao Buns... protein... feel me fellas? Don't judge me. But hey these suckas slapped. Bao Buns are a gift to mankind and you can't convince me otherwise. Soft and light yet filling and tighhhhhttttt Dawg. In finalmente, we had to pick our entrees. Recall, we ate this all in the car like some HS lovers out late in a local abandoned grocery store parking lot. We got one of the Pad Thai's and one of the Fried Rice's. Holy cow, holy bao my head bobbled and my eyes brightened. My hawk holes perked up and got some gnarly whiffs of lemony, fresh and salty waves. They came in these cardboard boxes and were filled to the brim. No cap and zero bap these boxes were brimmed. Had to finish in two car sittings, that's absurd. But it was welcome and I promise you enjoyed. The pad Thai was extremely yummy but this was some of the best fried rice I've ever had. I didn't feel like an absolute chubby bucket after knocking it down as it wasn't overly dressed up in deathly material. Plenty of protein, veggies. Oh mannnnnnnn I need me some more. And guess what? Guess what? I saved the best for last. This is an ALERT ALERT ALERT. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ALERT. Yes... one of the last affordable meals in the area. Affordable, plentiful and tastiful? If that's not 5 stars then shoot me into space and give it 5 moons. So is Ma Mi, a mommy? Go try it out yourself, but me myself? Yeah... I'm sucking off that teet. Bless you all have a lovely January.

Named Best of Bergen Finalist for 2022 and 2023, this establishment opened 7 years ago as a fast-casual Vietnamese restaurant located in Closter, where I came as a first-timer for lunch today. Upon entering, it was very simple, cozy, yet clean, with a couple of little tables, and I was fortunate to meet up with the husband-and-wife team. They also own a sister restaurant, “Simply Vietnamese,” in Tenafly. The owner, Joe, has informed me that the eatery is named “Ma Mì," which is derived from "Ma," paying tribute to his mother and grandmother, while "mì" means bread or noodle in Vietnamese. The menu is relatively simple, not overly complex, consisting of banh mi sandwiches, pho soup, bao buns, and salads. For starters, I decided on the summer roll with chicken and avocado. As the main meal, I opted for the seafood pho consisting of shrimp and basa (fish). To wash these down, I ordered the Thai iced tea. Since all orders, including dine-in, are packed to go, the food was packaged very well. They included siracha and hoisen sauce without asking for the pho. The soup was bursting with flavors of anise and other spices—perfectly warm and comforting. The broth was generous in size, and the noodles were fresh. The rolls were okay, but not wrapped tightly. The friendly staff makes you feel like family, and the price is reasonable, so I can recommend this place.
