Mama’s Kitchen

Quality food, great taste, and great portions. The way I judge a Korean restaurant here in the States is: Would I go there if it were in Korea? Yes. Yes, I would. The rice was not like restaurant rice at all, it actually had the flavor and texture of home rice. The chicken katsu was crispy in such a good way. The bibimbap had generous amounts of every veggies, and all of it was great. The place is small and more hole in the wall, but it adds to the charm of being a more unique, real restaurant. This is one of those rare times where the food is a proper 5 star 5 star, if that makes sense? The one thing I will say (and this is prevalent at a lot of places, but I'm still against it), is the suggested 18% - 20% - 22% tip screen. Unless it's a restaurant where service is their feature, the standard tip is 15% and it's just frustrating Still, 5/5 from me!

Very authentic Korean place. Small place and the wait around dinner time can be hectic since they are understaff and waitlist is confusing. But the food was great. I particularly like bubibamp. Lots of veggies and they even have some jelly like veggies that I rarely seen in other places. Their kimbamp are huge with lots of filling and less rice. But would skip on the tofu soup. It taste a lot like msg with lots of chili powder. But their rice is soooo perfectly cooked!

Came here with my mom and brother and we had a great time! The food was beyond delicious, our eyes were so hungry that we got way more than we could eat, but we took everything home and are excited to eat it later! Might I also say that the portion sizes are gigantic! I ordered the noodles and the bowl was literally bigger than my head and my jaw was on the floor when they brought it out. And it was only $18!!! The staff was very polite and really really helpful, one of the waiters helped us put our leftovers into boxes and was checking in on us constantly! Overall it was a pleasant experience and I’m a little sad that they don’t have Mama’s Kitchen in the south where I live.. Will definitely be back though!!

Found Mama’s Kitchen while craving Korean fried chicken in Bellevue and waiting on my car. Authentic flavors, great lunch specials, generous portions, and a cozy, busy space. The owner was super kind and the service was attentive. I had the chicken katsu and took the fried chicken to go—my kid absolutely crushed it. Worth a visit!

Everything in this place is right. Food, atmosphere, service, parking, ALL This is our family always go to when we are hungry. The beef over the rice is soo delicious. We recently tried the seafood pancakes. Super good. gamsahamnida 감사합니다

Small and clean restaurant. My first time ordering from an online menu using the QR code. We only ordered cheese tteobokki and a combo entree with tofu soup. Food is good, but a slight pricey.

As a Korean, this is the best Korean restaurant I’ve had in Washington so far. We tried three different dishes and every single one was authentic and delicious. Highly recommend!
