You absolutely must get their special occasion pasta...I get it even without any meat. It is so good. The place is small, but I think that is what makes it special. A good alternative to traditional seafood fare. more

If you'd like to try something a little different, Mama Kwan's is the place! It was clean as a whistle and had a fun, eclectic menu. We started with the pork and ginger wontons - delicious! It was served with a sample of their cucumber salad which was fabulous. I had the pad thai with chicken for lunch. The pad... more

Though the place is small and somewhat noisy, Mama Kwan's makes a wonderful fish taco. The plate was so large it would feed 2 people. We opted for the blackened version which is highly recommended (maybe too salty for some people). Great service and bar staff. more

One of our last nights and looking for something other than fish or barbecue... We were pleasantly surprised - excellent money bag appetizer, pork dish was very flavorful with a coconut flavored rice, scallops were fair plus. Not a great atmosphere - table very close together, no decor to speak of, attentive waitress, bar on the other end of the... more

This was okay. We ended up spending an awful lot of money, partly because they didn't give us a children's menu (leading me to think they didn't have one) and our daughter wouldn't eat the adult entree we ordered for her. Dinner for three was $90, for which I'd expect a really nice meal. Again, it was okay. We probably... more

No trip to the outer banks is complete for my family without a trip to Mama Kwan's. I love the garbage plate (chicken or tuna with rice, stir fried veggies, marinated cukes, and pineapple), the oriental chicken salad, pad thai, fish tacos, and thai money bags. My kids get the popcorn shrimp and burger from the kids menu. It is... more

It has nice ratings online, so four of us decided to take our chances there for dinner. Well, it was a popular place. We had to wait to get in. Most people seemed to come in groups and many with kids. The wait actually drove up my anticipations. When we got in we noticed that the sanitation score of the... more

Although the decor wasn't what I expected, the food was great, we didn't have a wait, the service was excellent. My only complaint was the drinks weren't very strong. will definitely go back next year! more

Mama Kwan's is, hands down, my favorite place to eat in Kill Devil Hills. I love their frozen margaritas - best I've had, and I also crave their signature dish - The Pork Plate. Both are amazing!!! I have also tried many of their other dishes and all have been delicious. The jasmine rice and the cucumber salad are excellent,... more
