I can count on one hand, the things that made me miss living in Rochester. Mamasan's is a solid one. The friendly staff, fast service, and generous portions justify the the slightly high price. (Just take the rest to-go)! I reccommend the cold or fried rolls, basil noodles (with meat or seafood of your choice) or the Shrimp Tom Ka (a rich, coconut soup with a side of fluffy rice). The lovely, Thai decor and music lend a wonderful backdrop to the dining experience. Mamasan herself is usually on-site and is just a wonderful person to know. If you wish to extend the experience, she sells take-out and bottles of her sauces. This place is always crowded and for Rochester weather, that's saying something! It helps to justify the other four reasons I visit the city.
Pros: Excellent taste, fast friendly service, on-site parking
Cons: price
