Mama's Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
My son plays for Indiana University basketball we decided to go after the game. Server was amazing from the beginning to the end my mom is Korean and I asked if they could make a special soup that she used to make which was the seaweed soup since my mom passed away I have not had a seaweed soup. Even though it wasn't on the menu, Server said that the kitchen and came back with the seaweed soup, which was amazing second to my mom. That meant so much to me my son ordered Bulgogi & Kalbi and we cooked it on that grill it was perfection . Kimchis to the table we're all tasty and authentic.! It's such a great time that we didn't notice that we were the only ones in the restaurant they did not rush us out. it was so special to spend that time with my son One on One and such a sweet and authentic Korean restaurant ! Restaurant truly is Mommas restaurant taste like home!
If you are looking for authentic Korean food then Mama's is the place to go. We were traveling through on our way home and I'm glad we stopped here. Not only do they have a great banchan that comes with every meal, but the food itself is to die for. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu if you love Korean food. They also have the grill side, which we will definitely have to try next time we go though..
Ordered via grub hub. Food came fast and hot. Bulgogi fried rice was my favorite. Definitely recommend.
My favorite place to in Bloomington me and my kids are amaze the food it's high recommend
While it was towards the expensive side, no complaints anywhere else! Staff changed our grill multiple times for us. Toppings were plentiful and refilled. Meat was very fresh. Highly recommended.
Loved the Korean food! We are all vegetarians and there were plenty of delicious items to choose from. We will return and highly recommend it! FYI we ate so quickly I forgot to snap a picture!
Yesterday, my wife and I had takeout from mamas. We got their shrimp tempura and their Ginsing whole chicken soup. Both items were very good and mamas threw an acute little appetizer plate of four different items, including kimchi. We both felt the food was excellent, the order was ready for takeout on time, and we go back there again. I originally tried to order online, but got the message that the restaurant was either not taking online orders or was closed. I just called the restaurant up and placed my order over the phone, no problem.
Great Korean restaurant. The best at Bloomington. Must try their chicken! Wonderful side dishes
This place was good. It was after our hike nearby and we all had a craving for korean food and yes it did hit the spot Being Korean I have pretty high standards for Korean food. It is authentic and has a great taste. For one of my friends it was her first time trying Korean food and she really enjoyed it along with a green grape juice with chunks in them that was definitely part of my childhood We got the bibimbap, seafood soft tofu soup & stir fry squid (which I love). All of the dishes were good which is why I'm not surprised they have 2 locations! I might not come back to this location unless I'm camping out here again as I live over an hour away but I will probably go back to their other location which is closer to home
I don't usually come to Mama's for Korean food (the prices are more expensive than other Korean places) but my friend introduced me to their budaejjigae (Korean army stew) and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. The layout of the restaurant is very spacious and can seat many people. One side of the restaurant is for sit down dinner while the other side is for KBBQ with grills at the tables. The waiter that served us was friendly and was attentive to what we asked for. Like I said previously, we ordered budaejjigae, which was around $40. BUT don't be scared about the price because you can share the big stew with 4-5 people easily. My friends and I finished with really full bellies. Loved the flavor and even though it's a simple dish, it hit the spot when the weather was cold. Would come back for the stew but not so much for the other dishes (overpriced).
