Mama’s Buoi

Came across this place during my Melbourne trip, the food we had here was pretty good and the service was top notch, the pricing is a bit high for me. The lady serving us was so energic and friendly that she reminded me of the Duracell Bunny, she was running back and forth double checking our allergen dietary requirements, we would give this place 5 star service because of her. The Freshly Rolled Rice Paper Rolls was a large roll cut into 5 pieces with dipping sauce, the sauce was nicely made, flavourful but not over powering, we end up using some of the dipping sauce on our salad. The Vermicelli Noodle Salad was made with fresh ingredients, there wasn't a lot of dressing but enough to give it the flavour it needs, although we use the dipping sauce in this salad, it was because the dipping sauce was so tasty and not because there wasn't enough flavour. Given the chance, I will definitely revisit this place again.

Always good, fresh food. I highly recomend the noodle salad, but everything I've had here has been delicious. Staff are polite, if a bit undertrained. Sometimes grabbing your own cuttlery and flagging down a staff member three times for a glass of water just has to be done. Food can take a very long time to come out, even when its quiet, so I wouldnt recommend going here if you're in any kind of rush. On the upside, in a very accessibility not-friendly city, Mama's Buoi is easy to get into if you come from the Little Bourke end. Be aware though, the toilets are down several flights of stairs.
