I love this restaurant! The owners and staff here are so friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and big-portioned. They sell their own Thai Chili hot sauce which I use at home all the time. They have a nice special every week or two with some fun experimentation. Wholeheartedly recommend! I think I’ve come here about 10 times in the last 3 months

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cute little shop! Really fresh ingredients and a crossroads of cuisine. The cold rice noodle bowl was delicious. Even the tomatoes were so vibrant and flavorful. Taste and quantity appropriately priced. I did not eat inside, but the atmosphere reminded me of a quick stop ramen bar with an open kitchen.

We found this place while driving through SLO. The small selection of dishes benefits from the mix-and-match style of building your meal. I had the Thai Green Curry with tofu (on the recommendation of the friendly gal behind the counter) and my husband ordered a chicken Bahn mi. We found both to be delicious and Hungry Mother is definitely on our list of places to return to next time we are in SLO. While the seating options are very limited, it worked for us and somehow fit the slightly quirky but friendly vibe.
