My wife and I came a couple of months ago to Mama Foo Foo to celebrate her birthday, and this was our experience. A lot of the reviews mentioned this being a great place to eat and take aesthetic photos. Upon entering, the restaurant was nicely dimmed, with soft EDM music playing in the background. I was very impressed with the style and atmosphere of Mama Foo Foo--9/10. Our server was very nice and gave us great recommendations for both our appetizers and entrées. Appetizers: The Saffron Arancini, made with arborio rice, fontina cheese, marinara, and parmesan, was definitely a great start to our night. It was soft yet tender, and the amount of marinara sauce inside was perfect--10/10. The Burrata & Fig, made with burrata cheese, house-made fig jam, sourdough, and basil, was iconic. The in-house fig jam was perfect. I wish I could take it home with me. The bread was toasted to perfection. This is a must-have appetizer--10/10. Entrées: I had the Wagyu Double Smash Burger. It was made with American wagyu beef, cheddar, bacon tomato jam, shredded lettuce, pickles, onions, and French fries. As far as smash burgers go, this was very underwhelming. The patties themselves didn't look smashed at all. The taste felt very bland. The fact that it was made with wagyu beef intrigued me enough to order; however, it was not worth it--5/10. My wife got the Rigatoni Bolognese. It was made with slow-cooked house beef bolognese, whipped ricotta, basil, and garlic bread. I took a few bites of this, but it wasn't to my liking. It felt like I ordered regular pasta and beef. -- 6/10 Overall: Mama Foo Foo's ambiance really impressed me with its beautiful architecture, cool music, and very tasteful small plates. However, the quality of their large plates did not meet our expectations. If you go to this restaurant, just go for the bar and the appetizers.

First things first, our server Gianna (I believe) was fantastic. Worth a trip to be served by her. I don't say this lightly when I tell you their honey-soy dry rub chicken wings are some of the best I've ever had, and my body is made up of 32% fried chicken. My wife absolutely loved the Tuna Poke tower appetizer (as well as the ambience when things turned from restaurant to nightclub). I might be a little too old for the music that was playing there that night, but when they're pouring drinks that regularly for me, it makes for a fun night.

Great spot right near the water, only downside to the outdoor seating was the plants sort of block the view partially.... The outside was not very busy so it was very enjoyable/quiet. The food options I tried were all surprisingly very good. Josh was an outstanding waiter, It was my first time here. He was patient, polite, and thorough when explaining the menu while remaining helpful with some excellent recommendations! Definitely recommend coming to try them out, they have a rotating menu for food.

This is a treasure in the intracoastal waters of Daytona. The decor has an Asian flair although not sure why exactly. The drinks are all handcrafted and use all natural ingredients. I had the tequila Mexican Barracuda. Tried the mezcal drink but it was too much pineapple so I went back to the tequila ginger drink. Their small plates were awesome. We had the fig burrata and the Arancini. Both came out immediately and were very well presented and were flavorful. Then we had an amazing risotto. It was curried with crispy coconut cauliflower tossed in Thai chili. Amazing!! The smash burger was juicy and accompanied by perfect fries. The service was on point. Well worth the trip or money. Please try this place out!

Ordered: Broke & Famous cocktail (~$12): Bergamot vodka, grapefruit, ginger, honey Prime Skirt Steak (~$38): skirt steak, chimichurri, and mashed potatoes, and substituted broccolini (~$3) Shrimp Scampi (~$29): Key West shrimp, linguine, white wine, butter, cherry tomatoes, pecorino romano Burrata & Fig (~$20): fig jam, burrato cheese, sourdough, and basil Mussel Frites (~$24): mussels, truffle fries, and black garlic aioli Grilled Wings (~$15): garlic parmesan flavor Aya's take: Mama Foo Foo is trendy and classy with a nice ambiance - great for dates, dinner with friends, or other celebrations. Most of the food we had was great. The main highlights were the addictive Mussel Frites! I also loved how tender and juicy the Grilled Wings were. The Prime Skirt Steak completely lacked seasoning; I'm talking no salt or pepper. I had to ask my waiter to bring me some to help make it a bit more palpable. I didn't understand why I was charged ~$3 for substituting a vegetable; it wasn't an add-on. The Shrimp Scampi was decent, as well. The Broke & Famous cocktail missed the mark for me entirely; it wasn't a cohesive drink at all and the grapefruit was way too overpowering. All in all, it was a decent experience but the menu offerings seemed hit or miss.
