4.5 Kim Mama’s was So Good! I got the Chicken Katsu and it came with miso soup. And my husband got the bento box with chicken katsu and beef bulgogi. He decided that he just doesn’t like bulgogi at all, from anywhere😂 and wishes he got something else. Next time 😂 because we will be going back. My husband still said it was 5/5⭐️ still. We cannot wait to try more, and Highly recommend! Highly recommend!

I visited this restaurant for the first time with my sweetheart yesterday. Firstly, the service was great we were greeted immediately and told us that what we’d like. The menu has a wide variety of bento and Korean style food. Our food was brought quickly, and it was very good as you can see in the pictures. Highly recommended.

Have been looking for something that is somewhat authentic since moving to the area. We were just so pleased to find this place. When the Takoyaki came out covered in quivering bonito flakes we knew we found a good spot! I had the unagi donburi, husband had the large bento with beef bulgogi and pork katsu. Pork was a little over done but still tasty! The potato salad is exactly as I remembered from my last trip east!

We've come here 5 times since finding the restaurant just by chance 3 weeks ago. It's a small restaurant with delicious food. The pictures are from the first time we came. Today, we got 3 of the sandos. The chicken katsu sando was savory and delicious. The salmon sando was amazing. The strawberry fruit sando is mildly sweet and refreshing. The strawberry milkis was very tasty, especially paired with the fruit sando. Tje last time we came, we tried the cheese katsu kimchi pasta and it was amazing. I won't stop recommending this place to everyone I know.

★★★★★ 5.0 Naima Passe · Mar 2026

It has the perfect portion size. The food was fantastic and flavorful with the perfect amount of seasoning and sauce. The presentation was neat. The cost beats most of the Korean spots I’ve tried in the 23602 area. I love the simplicity of the menu, it made ordering very easy. I love that you get sides unlike most K-BBQ spots you’re paying around $26 for just the bulgogi meat. $23 for 2 proteins and 3 sides and a side of rice and soup is very generous. I highly recommend this place.
