Hungry Mother - San Luis Obispo (CA)

5 /5 Hunter Boaz: 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

5 /5 Joslynn Browne: 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.

5 /5 Farid Shahid: One of the best new additions to SLO’s food scene. The dishes are very fresh and flavorful, the staff and ownership is very nice and welcoming, and the space is light filled and fun to hang out at. I just discovered hungry mother this week and have only tried the rice bowl with lemongrass chicken and the rice bowl with seared shrimp, and both are excellent. Definitely plan on making this a regular lunch spot.

5 /5 Kelsey Peters: 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.

5 /5 Benjamin Sheffield: Such a delicious banh mi. Got it with the slow roasted pork and it was so tender, juicy and flavorful. And the baguette was perfection. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other dishes. Everything coming out looked fresh and delicious. Staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cute with lots of indoor/outdoor seating options.
