Had the kimbap and the galbi jjim bibimbap and both dishes blew my mind! I would love to come back here to try their fried chicken and their rose tteokbokki. Both of those dishes seem to be pretty hyped.

Good things take time. The food here is wonderful, but the wait really tries your patience. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated, and took more than 40 minutes after ordering to get our food. HOWEVER. I would say it was totally worth it. I ordered the soondubu and I loved it -- the soup was the perfect consistency and the tofu absorbed the flavor really well. Their rice is also perfect! Everything comes out in a stone pot so it's still piping hot and even bubbling by the time you get it. Definitely don't come here expecting it to be a quick bite. They seem incredibly understaffed (though the staff they do have are very kind) and get way too many takeout orders which they seem to prioritize over dine in. But if you have time, it's delicious!

This place has a homey Korean vibe with workers that speak korean to each other so you would think it would match up. But it do fall short like hasabulla. The stand outs are the rose tteboki and the yangyeom chicken. These dishes would make any ajumma proud. The galbijim was good but not daeho good and everything else was disappointing like my ex. Bulk approved would come back

I've been a few times now and I really like the food. Parking can be difficult, it's in a small strip mall. We try to go before the dinner rush. It's a small clean restaurant. You seat yourself. We've had great attentive service and service that can be slower but always good. They give you a pitcher of cold water and paper cups after you order. Chopsticks ( disposable) and regular metal silverware. Little metal share bowls are also great. Food comes fairly fast. Has always been hot and good. I'm working through the menu. My favorite this far is Chicken Katsu and tuna kimbap! I really like the house salad and cream soup too. Always enough to take some home ( I love leftovers!) Can't wait to go again!

Been coming here for some time now and food is always good! They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait if you happen to come in during the weekend and around dinner time. Located in Miller Plaza in Factoria, this place is small, but how they designed the seating area, the place can sit maybe 25-30 people -- 2 - 3 tables with bench style seating on one side (each table is good for 4 people); 4-5 high chairs for the bar style table that is facing the window overlooking the parking lot (good for individual seating but not for group...not unless you don't want to talk to your group); 2-3 tables for 2; and a long table that can sit maybe 10 people. The plaza doesn't have enough parking space, so good luck with that. What we've tried: - Mamas Kimbap - their bibimbap version. Warm rice topped with all sorts of goodies, what's not to like?! - Ban Ban Chicken - a tower of crispy fried chicken, half of it is flavored with this somewhat sweet yet a bit spicy sauce, and the other half is just fried chicken. It's a nice balance going back and forth between the two flavors. - Bulgogi over rice - Yumm! We've tried a couple more dishes but can't seem to find them on their online menu and can't remember the names without seeing the pictures. Service is good, staff are friendly.

Mama's Kitchen has been in Factoria for at least four to five years now and is one of few Korean restaurants on the Eastside. My friends and I came here for lunch on a Saturday at around 11:30am. The lunch crowd didn't start until around noon, and so we had an easy time getting a table. Mama's Kitchen menu is pretty limited, but they have all the popular Korean fare including Korean Fried Chicken, Kimchi Fried Rice, Tteokbokki (cylindrical rice rolls), and Soondubu (spicy Korean tofu soup). For three of us, we ordered MAMA'S KIMBAP, MAMA'S ROSE TTEOKBOKKI, and MAMA'S HONEY FRIED CHICKEN. The tteokbokki and the fried chicken both came with miso soup and the kimbap came with a side of kimchi radish. Of the dishes we ordered, the ROSE TTEOKBOKKI was the best. It was super rich and creamy and came with a piece of shrimp tempura, and egg roll, and a potsticker. The KIMBAP was also decent and was filled with beef, shredded egg, daikon, spinach, and carrots. They fell apart pretty easily though and so you have to eat them in one bite. Surprisingly, the HONEY FRIED CHICKEN was a little disappointing. While it had the right Gochujang sauce and flavor, the chicken was soggy and not crispy like traditional Korean Fried Chicken. With that said, the chicken was the most generous in terms of portions. The restaurant itself is pretty tight and only has eight to ten tables max with some window seating. It's clean and modern. Service was okay. It took some time to waive the waiter down. I also wish they served complimentary hot tea and unlimited ban chan. I'm my honest opinion, prices are kind of high for what you get (in comparison to Danji and Cho Dang Tofu), but it's definitely convenient for those passing by Factoria on their way back from work. Plus, Da Boba is right next door and so you can easily hit two birds with one stone. Overall: 3.5/5 for food, 3.5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

A great spot to eat at on the Eastside. Mamas Kitchen is a casual spot with some really good food. Besides how good the food is the other things I really like are how everything is shared so you get to try a lot of different dishes and the prices are affordable. I have been here a couple of times and tried a few different things and my favorite things are the katsu mayo over rice (you 100% should order this), the mamas japchae which is a super flavorful glass noodle dish and the soondooboo which has a good spice level to it and I really enjoy putting rice in it to soak up all the flavor. The mamas kimbap is also really good as well. The fried chicken is solid but I think the katsu is much better so I would recommend that and the cheese tteokbokki was not my personal favorite as it was too sweet for me and I just wasn't a fan of the cheese. My recommendations are to come on a week night as it is really popular and you will have to wait a while on a weekend and to try a few different items. I look forward to trying some other items off the menu in the future!
