About Mama San Nelson

A Thai and Vietnamese street food restaurant at 112 Collingwood Street in the Nelson CBD, a short walk from the Maitai River walkways and the Cathedral precinct. The website describes a casual, colourful room with plenty of space, which works for groups as well as couples.

The menu is built around shared plates and street-style dishes. Firm favourites named on the website are Chiang Mai pork belly, Shanghai dumplings with Panang curry sauce, Cambodian peppercorn prawns and Indonesian beef rendang. Other dishes include rice paper rolls, chicken skewers with peanut sauce, crispy fish in roti, and orange chicken with a tangy sauce. There are sharing platters for two to four people, and the menu caters for children as well as adults. The restaurant is open seven days for dinner from 5pm, with dine-in and takeaway until 8.30pm. Booking online at least a day ahead is advised, as it is popular with locals and visitors. Takeaway can be collected or delivered, and the website asks for at least 30 minutes, since food is cooked fresh. The restaurant is fully licensed, and the listing also mentions BYO wine. The website quotes no customer comments, and it gives no prices or parking details.
