    We did the Yang Banquet Meal with the wine pairing and it was sensational. We dined on Valentine’s Day and it was a full house. However our food was delivered in a timely manner and to an impeccable standard. We loved every dish and we found the wines accentuated the flavours in each dish perfectly. Was a magical experience and would happily recommend and dine again in a heartbeat! Service too was attentive, professional, warm and friendly. Loved everything about our Valentines dinner at Mamasan! Thank you to all.

    Great food served by friendly helpful staff. The place had a good vibe - not surprising as every seat was full when we got there. Music loud enough to enjoy but still able to talk. Not the cheapest but some of the best Japanese we have eaten in quite some time.
