"MamaLemian Rhapsody by Banh Xeo Queenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQMama Le,I just fed a man,Put a Banh Mi against his head,Squeezed the pastry, now he's fed,Mama Le,Dinner had just begun,And now I've gone and given it all away,Mama Le, oooooo,Didn't mean to share my food,If I'm not back in here again tomorrow,Carry on, order lunch,Cause Viet Coffees matter.Too late, my food has comeThis Shaken Beef is mine, and I get it all the timeGoodbye, Viet Coffee, you've got to goGotta drink it all in new world record timeI see a little silhouetto of a drink, is it mine, is it mine?Does it have the small boba?Drinks are so delighting, gone so fast it's frightening me!Mama-Leo (Mama-Leo) Mama-Le oh let me knowMagnifico! Easy come easy go will you share your Pho!(BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT SHARE OUR PHO)Share your Pho!(WE WILL NOT SHARE OUR PHO)Beelzebub, has the devil bought a drink for me? For me? Barbi?(guitar rock out)This is one of the best places we've ever eaten and their Cafe Sua Da aka Viet Iced Coffee is second to none.I always save the review of the best place to post last, and "the best place" doesn't come close to describing just how limitlessly and exuberantly much we love Mama Le's food, drinks and owners, in every way a place can be loved.Mama Le. Barbi Bae's fave restaurant in all of Houston, for both food and drinks, so I wrote a rap about her and her ideal trip to the suburbs.So let me tell a story about a girl named BAEI was at a strip club (she works there by the WAY)Dancing to Offspring's Come Out And PLAYAnd How To Save A Life by the god damn FRAYShe looks so good, all the boys start to PRAYLittle do they know they're just her PREYAnd when she does that move where she drops and does the SPLAYShe makes every patron give their money aWAYShe leaves the stage and leaves the men in disarRAYShe rocks my world, on stage she can SLAYAnd I wanna get her dinner cuz it's her bDAYI say I'll take her anywhere, however far aWAYBut I already know what my Bae's gonna SAYSo we go out for a dinner SOIREEAnd head southwest on the Southwest FreeWAYTo her fave place, a little family spot named MAMA LE!To find out what happens after dinner, read the end of the rap at the end of this review!So more about Mama Le. What to order? Any fruit drinks, the Viet Coffee, and the Shaken Beef are my faves - but we've tried 20 other things here and each and every item was mesmerizingly delicious!it's a small local hidden gem with magically superb owners, down by Richmond, that has some of the best drinks and food in all of Texas. If you're not convinced yet, read on.We couldn't believe how dreamily delicious and tender and perfectly flavoured the Shaken Beef is (I was shaken, as literally as the beef had been), as well as all of their other signature and standout dishes and snacks. We're big into drinks more than anything, and these are easily the best you'll find in Sugar Land, in fact some of the tastiest and most original and unique and dreamy in all of Texas.We'd drive a long, long way for Mama Le, so we're lucky it's only half an hour (in normal traffic, rather than ughgoddamnithouston traffic) from our house.This is a place that you shouldn't miss. We became regulars from the first sip and the first bite, and always will be. These days if anyone says "Sugar Land", Mama Le is the first recommendation that comes out of my mouth (even if I'm not asked for one) (no, don't ask about what goes into my mouth).Their drinks and sandwiches are magnificent and their Vietnamese and Asian Fusion food is spectacular. Easily one of the best places you will find in any of the Houston suburbs. One of my favourite spots in Texas, with perhaps the warmest, most instant-friends-for-life owners you could ever wish to do business with. The staff they hire are wonderful, too.I often gush in my reviews, but if you didn't notice, this place makes me extra-gooey-gush, as in Barbi when she's in a very frisky mood sort of gush.If you only visit one place in Sugar Land, visit Mama Le. They deserve all the success in the world and you'll love everything here.After dinner things get a little risQUEAs she tells me which kinda guy I should porTRAYAnd we engage in a little forePLAYDoing every single naughty cliCHEThen she starts to whip me and demands that I NEIGHLike Katy Perry she says she's my bufFETAfter appetizers then she feeds me my enTREEMost girls are steak, Bae's the Mignon FiLET(sorry Hailee Steinfeld)Forget basic lame vanilla Christian GRAYThat's about as thrilling as knitting and croCHET (in joke)She's the only girl that could make me GAY (well not the only)Make my bum feel like the Katy FreeWAYI'm all over her like chicks are with Axe Body SPRAYI guess I'm lucky that I'm a very good LAYShe is to me what Marley was to REGGAEAnd I eat Shaken Beef for her, and not just from MAMA LEWHAT"
"Small eating place that offers poke bowls in three different sizes, and drinks like slush, milk teas, and juices. There are board games available for customers, which is a nice touch for eating-chatting-chilling. My Ohana bowl was filled with fresh ingredients. The sauces brought the whole dish together. Delicious."
"My wife picked me up a killer pork banh mi and some fried egg rolls. The sammy hit the spot and disappeared post haste. The egg rolls followed suit. My baby loves me."
