Mamma Hai

Loved the peanut bowl! And my sister enjoyed the vegan pho she got! Staff was very friendly :)

Amazing food. The peanut bowl is to die for and they actually give you a serving size that makes sense (don't expect leftovers).

Normally I hate going to the city for anything but parking is super easy here mid-day (and free if you're in the parking lot). Definitely worth it.

This place is such a gem. The owner is so nice and educated me on Vietnamese coffee. The food is made fresh- so it does take a bit of time to get your order. I got the Hanoi Jane and the sandwich was a medley of flavors and a nice portion for a hungry vegan or to split if you want to try other items from the hall.

Incredible, fresh Vietnamese with outstanding vegan options. I had the vegan bun yesterday—the tofu was like nothing I have ever had. Everyone would be vegan if that’s what all vegan food tastes like. Not only is Ngoc a delightful human, but she is also a killer chef. Stop by Mamma Hai at any and every opportunity you have.

The best peanut noodles I’ve ever had! They did something to tofu that changed my life. I will eat here every time I go here. 10/10 absolutely stellar food.

If you are a fan of Vietnamese food, you need to try Mamma Hai’s! During the Syracuse Dining Weeks, their lunch special was phenomenal. The lunch special included your choice of bahn mi, a taro egg roll (which is absolutely to die for), and a bottle of water. The first time that I ate here, I was not let down. The lemongrass coconut curry chicken bahn mi is incredible. The toasted peanuts compliment the tender braised chicken but does not overpower it. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the coconut curry braising liquid is used as a sauce to moisten the bread and to give a bit of liquid to the sandwich. This gives the sandwich the perfect balance between the saucy chicken and the crusty French baguette that is expected with a bahn mi. The taro egg roll is downright amazing. The first time I had one, I was mesmerized by the texture and flavor of the taro pairing with the thin crispy exterior of the egg roll wrap. My second time dining in I ordered the Marco Polo bahn mi, which as the name implies, has influence from Asia as well as Europe. This sandwich has a homemade steamed chicken sausage, sliced pepperoni, and char siu pork (which is a Cantonese barbecue pork), and their signature house pate. While I was initially hesitant about pepperoni on a bahn mi, I decided to trust the chef’s menu and ordered it. I was drawn in with the homemade pate and stayed for the mouth watering combination of meats. The pepperoni being my favorite of the combination, giving a slight but not over the top element of heat that I look for in a bahn mi. Keeping with my weekly habit of stopping at Mamma Hai’s, I opted for the Mixed Mien Noodles on this overcast rainy day. The noodles were the perfect combination of flavors, textures, with a slight heat and acidity. Absolutely to die for. Please stop in and try one of Mamma Hai’s famous banh mi’s today! You won’t be disappointed! Best of luck Mamma Hai!! -Dakota

WOW this place has KILLER eats. The steamed buns we ordered were soft, warm and devoured in moments. Order anything you please. You won’t be disappointed. We already looking forward to trying their other dishes.

Best Vietnamese restaurant in town! Mamma Hai serves authentic cuisine and my personal favorite (aside from bahn mi, of course) is their taro egg rolls!

Stopping for lunch on our way to Niagara Falls and didn't expect to find this gem! The curry coup d'etat bahn mi was absolutely delicious. The chicken is very flavorful and tender, and contrasted nicely by the crunch of the veggies.

The proportion of filling to bread was just right too. I ate the whole thing and don't feel too heavy/full. 10/10 would eat here again! Definitely worth a stop 😋🥰

Nothing better on a warm sunny day in Syracuse then a fresh bowl of Vietnamese noodle with some grilled pork. The staff is super friendly and the Salt City Market is a super cool place to hang out. Love it there!

I had the Hanoi Jane Sandwhich and the Friday Pho (vegan), and both were very tasty. It all tasted fresh as well. The sandwich was pretty long, which was nice, and they did have vegetarian options, and it was all ready pretty quickly. I would recommend visiting, the only problem is that it all cost $30 for just two things, that seems a little steep.

You won’t find better authentic Vietnamese food in Syracuse! Their Pho on Fridays is a must try. Doesn’t hurt that the staff and owner are always so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

The lady at the counter was super nice, I told her I have one hour to drive home, and she offered to pack the soggy parts separately. I cannot wait to try these Banh Mi.

I ordered the coconut curry chicken sandwich today and was blown away. Amazing flavor, fresh ingredients, and an overall great experience! Will be grabbing for lunch again for sure.

Best Bánh mì I've ever had and it's not close. Already looking forward to my next trip to Syracuse. I'm not sure if they're making the bread themselves or if it's from a local baker but that roll is ridiculously good!

The Curry Coup D'etat Bahn Mi sandwich is fantastic :)

The taro spring rolls and peanut bowl I could literally eat endlessly!! So good and friendly service- thanks!

Excellent Banh Mi. I had the Hanoi Jane, and it was outstanding. Great crusty French bread with an outstanding tofu, and vegetable pate filling. I’ll be back for another.

The lemongrass coconut curry chicken banh mi sandwich with spicy pickled veggies was terrific. It was also larger than I expected and quite filling. The recommended basil seed-containing lychee drink was something really different, but good. The lady taking food orders was patient, friendly, and very helpful. They certainly live up to their motto: "Eat with joy, live with kindness". I'll definitely return.

I enjoy the twist to inventive modern interpretations of Vietnamese favorites like the bánh mì. Fast service is a plus. The food court style venue is perfect for groups of people with different tastes or for those who would like to try several different cuisines in one place. Flavorful vegan options are also available.
