Welcome to the Kimchi Mama family! Kimchi Mama is a family-owned and operated takeout, delivery, and catering Korean food establishment.

Amazing Traditional Korean Food!! It tasted so delicious and comforting. The staff is so attentive. They even gave us complimentary appetizer & dessert. I felt so welcomed. The bathroom is so cool too, japanese style bidet and relaxing decorations. Its also byob so I need to come back again soon and try that out.

Absolutely delicious and authentic Korean food!
I tried the spicy chicken bowl, bulgogi hot stone bowl, and the Korean burrito, and every single dish was incredible. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced — you can really taste the freshness and care in every bite. The beef hot stone came sizzling and stayed hot the whole time, and the chicken bowl was so flavorful and satisfying. Even the burrito, which I wasn’t sure what to expect, was packed with flavor and totally hit the spot.

5 stars – This is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Every single dish was bursting with flavor — authentic and fresh. The food was a feast for my eyes as well. The Squid Hot Stone Bowl was especially unforgettable. You can truly tell that a lot of care and passion goes into the food here. The banchan, side dishes that accompany the main dish, were truly amazing; each one more enticing than the last one. The ambiance was cozy yet modern, making it perfect for both casual meals and special nights out. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Korean cuisine or is just looking for an exceptional meal!
*Added bonus- we got to meet the “Kimchi Mama”. She was super kind, knowledgeable and very amiable.

Our first time here. Service was great! They brought out lots of side dishes we weren’t expecting and the potato pancakes were so good, a gift from the owner. Food was so good! The atmosphere was beautiful! We’ll be back!

I was honestly surprised I’d never heard of this place, because it was absolutely delicious. We tried the jajangmyeon and the sweet garlic soy chicken. Both were incredible. The jajangmyeon portion is huge and has great umami flavor. The fried chicken is incredibly crispy and not greasy at all. The banchan they bring you is also excellent. The interior is very nicely decorated and clean. I will definitely be coming back here and I recommend trying it out!

I seriously love it here. Authentic Korean food taste. I just traveled to Korea in 2022 and been missing the food. Many places have Korean food but nothing like the mom and pop feeling that Kimchi Mama had. Im so picky with my Kimchi and they make it perfect everytime. Their banchan are on point and you can never go wrong with anything on their menu! My go to!!

If I could give them more stars, I’ll definitely do it!
The food was delicious, the chef very friendly and the staff exceptional. We were 3 adults, we spent $130 (2 appetizers and 3 entreés).
This place has everything, good prices, quality, variety and looks super clean.
I’ve fallen in love with “Kimchi Mama”, we’re definitely going back!

This is the best Korean restaurant I have ever been to. The miso soup was great with different things to mix in it. We got glass noodles, dumplings, and scallion pancakes,They were awesome. Then I got the hot stone beef bowl, super delicious. The service was great, and they threw in a small dessert for free!!! I 100% will be coming back very soon

Absolutely incredible! The service and atmosphere were flawless, and the food was nothing short of phenomenal—right from the sliders, to the salad, soup, entrées, and dessert. As Indians, my group and I are well-versed in diverse flavor profiles, yet Kimchi Mama surpassed every expectation in both taste and presentation. Highly recommended—and be sure to say hello to the Kimchi Mama herself!

I truly can’t recommend this restaurant enough. I went for the first time yesterday, and it exceeded expectations. Everything was delicious and they served us the most fresh, delicious sides. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants but this is definitely up there as one of my favorites! I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend the wings and army stew.
