Venue Review

Food 4/5    
A "mama-san", or "mamasan" is usually a woman in a position of authority, especially one in charge of a geisha house, bar or nightclub in East Asia.

We were ecstatic to see another new business opening with Thai/Asian food being one of our fave foods we had to prioritise this new venue.

Previously “Cau” which I believe was Brazilian tapas I remember visiting a couple times. It was nice, modern inside but when re-entering its simply outstanding what the new owners have done with this place. The most ginormous bar you will ever see with every spirit known to man, quirky modern paintings and greenery floating from the roof you could feel you’re sitting in a flashy venue in Manhattan. It’s plush!

The service was super, warm & friendly! Great knowledge on the dishes, a girl who has just moved up from England,she’s excellent 👍🏻

Let’s talk the main attraction though - the grub! Starters were outstanding! I had a Thai Fried Chicken. It was incredible, I want this again. Crunchy & cooked in a wasabi, chilli, sesame sauce. They have nailed this dish! I had the cheek to order a second starter so had the Prawn & Chicken Tacos these were light & well balanced! OH had the Crab Fish Cakes which he said were over salted, coming from the guy who throws too much salt over everything 🤣 so I did try one and can confirm for our taste they were a bit too salty. Certainly not an awful dish though just less salt required.

For our mains I had the Thai Green Monkfish & Prawn Curry. I was blown away by the presentation. The monkish was cooked just right! 😋 I did feel the sauce was very watery however, not sticking to the fish & the flavours needed heightened. It was pleasant though. The Mushroom & Bone Marrow Rice was a perfect addition to this dish!
My other half had the Noodle Salad and Seabass in Banana Leaf which he enjoyed very much.
I opted for a wonderfully vibrant gin cocktail. Bright purple with passion fruit and flowers it was fresh and breezy!

The bill came to £104, its luxury and we can’t wait to return again soon to try more! @mamasanglasgow
