Reviews for Bad Mama
Darcy Gibbs
The young Asian bloke who served me was working the floor solo, but gave outstanding service, recommendations were genuine and made for a great experience. Offered me another drink, food came out fast and really friendly. Pork buns and duck dumplings were incredibly delicious. Will definitely return!

Food was sooo good!!! It's Taiwanese-Japanese fusion. We ordered the prawn sesame roll, and it was bomb!!! The chicken wings were good too! We sat downstairs, where there was live music, but it was a little too dark. The table and chair weren't the best – not too comfortable.

Wonderful date location, Great atmosphere and location, fast service and good food - there was a DJ playing some very fun relaxed music It’s a little bit pricy on a Sunday with the surcharge ended up paying about 60 per person

The wings are good, dimsums are terrible, the one bite beef is literally one bite, you only want to take one bite, frozen beef defrozen by soaking into hot water, the meat is so watery and not eatable.

Seriously a must see restaurant if you live in or visit Sydney , amazing food which won't break the bank. The food leaves you content. Nothing but goodness and quality. The service is amazing , Kiren the manager is such a great host. I for one will come back again and again . Everything is recommended and it's all so well prepared and succulent.
