Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing and the drinks are great! The only downside is that the wait time can get crazy long during holidays, which is the only time I tend to visit OBX. Still, it’s worth it, and we visit here every time we’re in town.

Delicious food! We havent always been able to get here on trips out and I am so glad we made time. Drinks were a bit pricier than expected. Disney pricing on mixed drinks. Ouch.

Mama Kwan’s was delicious. They were slammed busy, but only had to wait maybe five minutes for a table. We had great service and our food game out quickly. Everything was delicious. We will go back again for sure.

Quirky, worth the wait to dine in. During the holidays it turns into mama Klaus. The food is well priced, Hawaiian fare that has great flavor. Cocktails are a bit pricey, but the beer selection is on point. Love that they have plenty of IPA options.
Fish tacos are awesome!
