“Just an incredibly comforting taste from some otherwise on paper very simply prepared food. Rich, crunchy, and with the perfect amount of spice for the shrimps.”

“Mam in Chinatown is miles more exciting than any other Vietnamese I’ve tried in the city. It’s packed with so much more flavor and spices/herbs I hadn’t had in Vietnamese food before”

“had a really nice fried shrimp dish last time I went. Super strong shrimp flavor and very crunchy too.”

“i loved mam’s pho! i agree, it’s the best i’ve ever had but i did not like their bbh.”

“So so Overrated. If there was a blind taste of the food between (1) Mam and (2) any random Viet restaurant in Brooklyn or Flushing Chinatown that never had a write-up in a website or magazine, #2 would crush.”

“A few weeks ago, I had the pho at mam and it blew me away. It really reminded me of the best pho I had on my last visit to Hanoi.”

“Even the infamous Bánh or Mắm NYC just were not up to my par. The problem with Mắm is they are super overpriced for the so-called “authentic Vietnamese food”.”
H2
“My Việt parents didn't like Mắm while I did because... they also don't like fermented shrimp paste lol.”
H2
“Their signature dish is incredible, but their pho might be even better.”
H2
“Mam has the best beef pho I’ve ever tried.”
H2

“Mắm has really good bún đậu mắm tôm”
H2
“Mâm brings unique Vietnamese dishes and is a fun dining experience, even down to the small plastic chairs they have out on the street.”
H2
“fortunately it's really well done. They dilute the mam tom a little with fish sauce, but it still hits. The rest of the menu is great too.”
H2
“The giant shared platter at Mǎm is amazing.”
H2
“Mam if you can reserve in advance (they sell a limited quantity and rotating menu) is the best I’ve had”
H2
“Mam has a delicious homemade fried tofu dish.”
H2
“their pho made my pho list”
H2
“I think Mắm is pretty good and would recommend anyone in New York to try it, but coming from Hanoi, a similar platter would go for something like $5 at most.”
H2
“Definitely worth double checking! Super tasty, tho, so imo worth making the reservation or preorder!”
H2
“Sticking my finger into the shrimp paste at Măm and making a sucking puckering sound.”

“great authentic Vietnamese place”
H2
“I was not impressed with Mam. I found each dish underwhelming or just fine and the drinks small and watered down.”
H2
“I would absolutely go elsewhere, last time I went there was maybe one vegetarian option? And frankly it was the only dish that we all thought was a pass”
H2
“Balut at mam”
H2
“I would definitely try out Mắm as well! It's 100% authentic imo”
H2
“I'm biased in that I prefer northern/Hanoi-style pho. [Mam](https://www.instagram.com/mam.nyc/?hl=en) is the best pho I've had outside of Vietnam.”
H2
“The food is overrated considering the hype and the cost. The place is popular because it photographs well and its adventurous.”
H2
“I’ve had Mam when they had their bun bo Hue and their cha Hue was stinky / smelled like feet. I think their northern and maybe southern food may be good, but definitely avoid their Hue food”
H2
“I’d say Mam is the closest for me so far”
