Lil Chef Mama herself serving
Thai classics

Experience
the Flavors of Thailand at Lil Chef Mama!

Since 1981, Mama Toon has been bringing the bold, authentic flavors of Thailand to NYC. Step away from the city’s hustle and our restaurant that transports you to the vibrant streets of Thailand.

Dine in our cozy bamboo huts, surrounded by traditional Thai artifacts, and immerse yourself in the warmth of our culture. Watch as our open kitchen comes to life—where flames dance, woks sizzle, and the rhythmic sounds of cooking create an atmosphere as comforting as our food.

Join us for an unforgettable taste of Thailand, right in the heart of NYC.
