About Mom's Special Cooking
Welcome to Mom’s Special Cooking, Austin’s go-to spot for authentic Burmese flavors! We serve traditional home-style dishes made with fresh ingredients and family recipes passed down for generations
Located at 948 Payton Gin Rd, Austin, TX 78758, Mom's Special Cooking operates as a burmese restaurant serving Austin in Texas. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Austin, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across Texas run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–3 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (737) 202-9719. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, momsspecialcooking.com.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 226 reviews, which is a strong result for a burmese restaurant in Austin and suggests consistent service.
Austin is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. Traffic in Austin peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Authentic Burmese Ma Tin came out to get the Burmese dishes right. The Korean and Thai young men were very good customer service. If two young men can be this good in customer service why can't the young women in Houston? Thank you. Got a lot to take back Try the Burmese dishes. Get mom to recommend Mandalay style

First time trying Burmese cuisine and it was delicious! The food was so good. All my friends loved each of their dishes and I had the soup with chicken and fish balls. The broth was light and very flavorful. I also loved the mango sticky rice. The staff were incredibly friendly and walked us through the menu. Loved this place and I will be back!

We stopped at Mom’s Special Cooking for lunch before heading home, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we have had in years. The suggested Burmese entrées were incredibly flavorful, unique, and such a fun adventure.. We loved trying dishes we have never had before and getting a glimpse into a cuisine that was completely new to us. What made the meal truly unforgettable was meeting the chefs and their family afterward. Hearing their stories and the traditions behind their cooking added so much meaning to the experience. Their warmth and pride in their food were absolutely beautiful. It’s the kind of place that feeds both your stomach and your soul.

I had lunch here with a group of friends recently and loved it! I had never tried Burmese food before so I ordered the Mohinga which was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fried split pea fritters. My husband got the Shan noodles and the pork in his dish was so tasty. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Mom’s Special Cooking is one of those quiet North Austin gems you’re glad you didn’t overlook. Tucked into an old, unassuming building way south of Little Saigon/Chinatown off Lamar, it doesn’t advertise loudly — the food does that job. We went vegetarian and let the enthusiastic owner guide the order, which was absolutely the right move. One dish featured delicate vermicelli noodles tossed with mixed vegetables in a savory brown sauce; the other paired vegetables and egg over rice. Both were beautifully balanced, comforting, and confidently seasoned — simple on the surface, deeply satisfying in execution. Inside, the space is bright, clean, and welcoming, and the hospitality feels genuinely personal. This is Burmese home cooking done with care, not flash. Low expectations turned into a memorable meal. We’ll be back — and next time, we’re letting Mom choose again. 🍜🇲🇲
