Ma Ma's Korean Restaurant

Great place for special korean holidays and amazing mandu duk rice cake soup for the holiday! Lunar New Years! Little pricey at 2 bowls and 2 nice sojus for $80 but once a year its good and off the secret Lunar New Years menu! And this time the side dishes were so fresh!

The food is so good and I savored every bite. Authentic Korean food and the portions are large. The staff is always so friendly and we really enjoy the opportunity to eat here.

This place is my brother’s and my go-to whenever we’re craving food from home. I was born in Korea and raised in Japan, so we grew up deeply immersed in both cultures. Because of that, I frequently review Japanese and South Korean restaurants across the U.S., rating them from both an American perspective and a home-country perspective. One of my all-time favorite Korean dishes is Seolleongtang, just barely edging out Samgyetang for me. I’ve tried Korean food all over the U.S.—from Northbrook to K-Town and beyond—and this place easily serves one of the best Seolleongtang I’ve had stateside. The bowl is generous, packed with meat and tripe, and the broth is rich, clean, and deeply flavorful—the kind that tastes like it’s been simmering properly for hours.

I never thought my first review would be a negative one but my experience here was so terrible I felt compelled to warn others. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Where do I even begin? The service was horrible from start to finish. We ordered appetizers and drinks and most of it did not show up. We had to flag down the waitress just to get our drinks, and the appetizer never arrived at all. To make matters worse, we were given our food with no utensils. The food quality matched the service. We ordered short ribs for $40 and it came with literally 2 ribs. 2 RIBS FOR $40. The bulgogi and pork portions were equally tiny. Charging those prices for such small portions is offensive. If you look past the food, the restaurant itself is dirty. The walls, floors, and baseboards all looked neglected and
