Mamasan - Surry Hills

Bad Mama's is a unique fusion restaurant that combines Chinese and Japanese cuisine, with a cozy atmosphere and beautiful music. We enjoyed a Western-style twist on Asian dishes and found the drinks to be decent before 6 o'clock, with some happy hour specials available. Unfortunately, we were not informed about the 1 hour and 45 minute sitting time until we placed our order. When our entrees arrived, they were not plated nicely, and when we requested new spoons, we were told to use soup spoons from the stock dishes because they didn't have enough (despite it being only 5:30pm). Despite these oddities, we enjoyed our meal overall.

My friends and I visited this restaurant bar for the first (and last) time a week ago. We were initially attracted by the beautifully inspired Japanese decor with an artistic touch. However, our experience at Mamasan was extremely disappointing. The host and waiters failed to mention that there would be an 11% surcharge for sitting at a table instead of the bar. Although we were content to have drinks at the table, the host insisted we sit at the bar. When I went to pay for my drink, I was unpleasantly surprised to learn about the additional 11% charge. The waiter informed me that it had been stated on the menu, but I only noticed it in small and discreet font below as I...

Eating was not bad, but to be honest, it wasn't worth it for the bear we paid. my friend ordered the natural oysters that cost $3,50 per piece and each oyster was probably the size of a one dollar coin honest, portion size is probably their only problem. the service was good and the vibes were nice. but not sure if I would go back.

About mamasan went a look at the menu we had connected to the dessert pancakes. the fish on fire (salmon) and chili greens, we had a fine meal going.

Worst nigiri I’ve ever had. Didn’t use sushi rice and the fish taste like gum. Even worse than the ones at foodcourt. Pork bun is exactly what you can get at Chinese shops except it’s pricy. Would not recommend the food here.
