Mama's Buoi

Customer service here was on par with what you would expect from a restaurant. The food came out quickly, we had the set menu and thought it was well priced for the amount of food you received. Flavours were nice, feels like good home cooking. Was pleasantly suprised that the meal wasn't way overpriced for an "up market" Asian restaurant normally known for "Cheap and Cheerful" meals. It wasn't the best food we've had at the Tram Sheds, but overall was satisfied.

We came here for dinner a few nights ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. The manager even came out to make sure we well looked after and were enjoying everything. The food was amazing. After reading the menu we decided to with the share me banquet as it had most of the things we wanted to try and the price was reasonable. Every dish was great, especially the duck pancakes and Vietnamese coffee creme brûlée. They also make one of the best Vietnamese drip coffees that I have ever tried. I will definitely be coming back here again in the near future.

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.

We had the salt & pepper eggplant $10, board special and it was so great I hope they have it more often. The chicken pho was also really good. The service was a little slow but it was busy and the staff were lovely.

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.

It was ok. Though quite pricey compared to what you can get in cabramatta but maybe it's to be expected given the location. The rice they used in the pork chop dish wasn't the traditional broken rice which was a shame. But overall the staff were very friendly and the ambience was very nice

I agree with most of the bad reviews about this place. Too much MSG. Felt really sick after eating here. Either no flavour or too much of it! A real shame. And expensive. I did enjoy the Vietnamese Salad dish, good size & taste was on target.

It was an unorganised let’s go out for dinner moment and we decided as we were walking around to try Mama’s Buoi out. We shared all the dishes and we thought they were good! We had the crispy soft shell crab, pork ribs and the Smokey eggplant dish yum. The pork ribs didn’t look the way we thought it would but they tasted amazing, tender, juicy and full of flavour! The eggplant dish was lovely and same with the crispy soft shell crab. The service was ok. The waiter seemed unsure at times when we asked questions about the menu and when we asked for the dessert menu we were told the kitchen was closed without any warning it was closing other then this our overall experience = good

The restaurant decor and service was the most appealing about Mama's buoi. Decor is authentic for a Vietnamese restaurant and very classy as well as pleasant for a fine dine. Service was quick and responsive to any specific needs and extra detail of the dishes ordered. The only minus point would be the food in comparison.The food wasn't exquisitely tasty or garnished/presented for the price charged and beauty of the place. It didn't match up to the expectation when entered and could be compared to any low to medium budget Vietnamese restaurant in Sydney. My overall experience however was pleasant with good ambience of the restaurant and therefore deserves a 4.

Overpriced mediocre food coupled with poor disinterested service made for an appalling dining experience. The Chicken Pho had a tiny amount of chicken in and the broth was very salty. We paid $30 for what was basically a large bowl of salty noodles . The pork and prawn rice paper rolls were to almost total devoid of pork and prawns and tasted stale . The service was slow, rude and inattentive. On paying the bill we informed the waiter of our dissatisfaction with the meal. His disinterested response was, "Yeah we get a lot complaints , but I can pass on to kitchen if you want".I was shocked by his attitude. Best to avoid this place if dining at the Tramsheds. Much better places close by.
