Mamamon Thai Eatery – Best Thai

I knew I’d encountered some serious Thai food at Mamamon when I started experiencing vivid flashbacks of sitting by a street stand in Bangkok on a little plastic chair, slurping noisily at a curry; and when I started to sob a little from the spicy entree dishes I was inhaling.
“We’re serving up all the dishes we miss from home with little modification,”
Pian, young and Thai-born owner of the 8th district’s new neighbourhood family-run Thai place, tells me. She has a personality larger than her stature, and same goes for the intimate confines of her Mamamon Thai eatery.  This place is both fiery and funky. And serving up some of the best home-style Thai cooking in the city.
The diverse menu lists all the favourites, including the pop star of the Thai kitchen, Pad Thai. Mamamon have earned a well-earned fame for this dish during their time on the Donaukanal. But it’s the Khao Soi curry that has me fogging up the window in front of me. The tastes of the pale, yellow coconut curry from the North – around the Chang Mai region – has arrived here to the middle of Vienna unadultered and full of the flavour it’s famous for; along with a tender chicken leg shipwrecked in it and submerged noodles. It’s thrilling, and the spice of the original dish remains unneutered.

They also have… a good range of beer out of Asia, alongwith the Hamburg hipster favourite, Astra
We also recommend… having the homemade Thai iced tea – the taste is far beyond what you expect.
