Holy cow. I was hoping to find a hidden gem and we did. ABSOLUTELY Delicious. The size of the meal was ridiculous. Must try. Pics are shrimp and chicken hibachi.

First time trying MuM Mum. We had lunch bowls (fried rice), my date had chicken as her protein, and I had shrimp. We were very pleased. Delicious food, friendly service. (Be aware the picture of the chicken dish was in direct sunlight, altering the color appearance of the dish)

It's tiny with some outdoor, picnic type seating. They mostly do take-out and delivery. The food is top-notch. Their yum-yum sauce is outstanding. You can get a little side salad or a meal that comes with a salad. It's always fresh and crisp, and it's so good with the yum-yum sauce as dressing. Their clear soup is flavorful too. Every bite of everything is packed with flavor. And, they are extraordinarily friendly. It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the drive (or just order it for delivery).

We had a lovely evening to sit outside and eat. The food was exceptionally prepared. The service was good, pleasant, quick. I was mildly surprised to find such great hibachi from a carry out style restaurant in Athens. And I am so happy we found it.

Great sushi restaurant- but I have fish allergy, their fried rice dishes are very good and NO fish ingredients or sauces are used!!!- leftovers tasted even more flavorful after refrigerated for 48 H and reheated!

I’ve eaten here a few times now and my experience is generally positive. The food is tasty, they cook it fresh to order and it’s always out to you really quickly! The side “salad” is literally just a handful of premix salad like you can buy at the grocery store though. I also am really surprised that people are ok with the prices here. While it true you get a decent amount of food, over 90% of it is rice or noodles which cost absolutely nothing relative to the price they are charging.

Hands down the best habachi in Athens! Worth every penny spent. The food is flavorful, the yum yum sauce is to die for, and the portions are huge. I will always be willing to make the drive to get it!

Drove from Logan and we were NOT disappointed! All of our bowls (chicken and shrimp) were awesome and the crab Rangoon was really good too…I thought the MuM Mum sauce was a bit odd but everyone else loved it. We got there pretty close to when they opened and after we ordered they brought our food out to our car. We’ll definitely be back!
