So I did go to Kimchi Mama with my Mom and sister on Mother’s Day. We did the parking lot dropoff, and getting inside was easy peasy! It’s actually got a Louisiana side to the kitchen too, and you can order from a separate menu. We went strictly Korean.
You order at the counter, and then they bring your food to your table. I think it might be a good place to go after drinking. There was a table, and the lady on the end of one of the benches fell off the bench literally in slow motion. She was fine, no injurines, and was laughing it off. Who knew we’d be getting a floor show as well!!!
When you are eating there, they deliver eveyone a clearish soup, which kind of looked like a miso soup. I’m not sure, but it was warm and tasty. I guess in a nod to the Louisiana side, they also delivered a single side salad with russian dressing. My sister ate that, and said it was fine. They also brought out a plate of kimchi for the table. The kimchi was very good. I was hoping for a few more vegetables in it, but it was just cabbage. And it wasn’t too hot, it was perfect for my taste buds. For the chopstick challenged they provided actual utensils. However, instead of napkins they were using cocktail napkins. But ultimately they did the trick.
We started with the vegetable pancake. I snapped the picture after we all took a piece. It was hot, crispy and tasty.
We had the korean short rib, and it was served with white rice. None of us liked it. There was a bone through each piece, and it was very chewy and overcooked.
We had the bulgogi stone bowl with the egg on top. The bulgogi was a favorite of the table. And dipped into the egg, that was the perfect sauce and the perfect bite!
The final item to arrive at the table, about 15 minutes after the rest of the food was the chicken wings. We got the “hot” version. Again, I was worried about spice levels, but it wasn’t too hot. The chicken was double fried, cooked perfectly, and the sauce was really good.
All in all, it was a nice visit. We’ll be back. We enjoyed the food and most importantly, Mom had a good time. Thanks for all the suggestions, they helped us to have a wonderful day with Mom!
