Who would imagine some delicious authentic Korean bowls in San Bernardino? Came here with some friends last night and we were pleasantly surprised by the authentic Korean flavors of the food. The menu and decor are more simplified and the restaurant is designed for takeout - so be aware that the menu and pictures of the restaurant on Yelp are not current. (I kinda wish we could have visited before the changes as well, but glad they are still serving delicious food.) I actually enjoyed the mild spiciness of the spicy pork bowl, but all the food we ordered was pretty much delicious so I understand why they have such a high Yelp rating. It is made to order, so expect a little wait. The staff were also very nice - so if you are in the area, give it a try and support small businesses. read more

The food is really tasty! Honestly the best kimchi I've had in a long time. I ordered the Galbi Papa Bowl! It did not disappoint. The portion sizes are way bigger than I thought they were gonna be. The whole bowl could last someone two-three meals worth! I ordered this through Grubhub but I can wait to come back in person. I think my only complaint would be that the galbi was a little smaller than I expected but I can't complain too much because the other the bulgogi really made up for it and was flavorful! Can I just say that their vegetables are super delicious! When I saw the veggie mix, I was shocked by that it also included beets and mushrooms, I was curious and skeptical but to my surprise, it made me enjoy the vegetables even more...they were delicious. I don't know what seasonings they used but it was too good. The dumping was a nice touch as well. I'm so happy to say I have a Korean spot in the IE that I don't have to sit in a Smokey kbbq grillling meats when I can just get Korean food here read more

I really wanted to love this place but the prices are outrageous. We ended up leaving with nothing. They want 15 bucks for a bowl and 26 bucks for a plate. Then they have a 2 person meal for almost 50 bucks. I can go to an all you can eat Korean for that price. I'm giving them a 3 star because they are friendly. read more

When I first drove in and parked, I wasn't sure the propped open doors was the front entrance. The place kind of looks like a church hall, where you'd go to eat lunch after service. It was pretty barren inside except for some framed pictures on the wall and a few chairs. It did smell great though, like they were burning some incense. After placing my order, it took about 15 minutes before it was ready. I have no issue with that, but if I was in a hurry I'd probably order ahead and pick up. Ordered the Papa bowl #1 with Galbi (bone-in beef, like flanken ribs). The bowl comes with rice, lightly cooked fresh vegetables (carrots, zucchini, broccoli) that still has a little crunch, but not raw. Also comes with a side of kimchi and japchae (Korean thin noodle made from sweet potato). It also came with two fried dumplings, but when I asked if it was pork she said it did have pork inside and she opted to give me an extra scoop of japchae instead, which I was excited about. Loved the beef, it was so tender and marinated and seasoned well. The marinade has a slight sweetness to it that goes great with the meat. Wish they drizzled some of the marinade or had an accompanying sauce to go with it, because the bowl was very dry and had no sauce. Even adding the kimchi was not enough. The japchae turned out to be just noodles, sautéed in sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It didn't have much flavor other than the sesame oil. I have had japchae in other restaurants and they usually have vegetables and are seasoned well. Other than that, it was a nice accompaniment. Overall, I thought the meat was delicious and you can tell that they really take pride in their meat. The chicken looked really tasty and I'll come back to try that next time. Also the Mama plates come with some of the Korean side dishes that the Papa bowl doesn't come with so that would also be great to try out. The lady who took my order, Kelly, was very kind and sweet. She gave me and another lady waiting for our food some grand opening gifts: a beautiful scarf and a couple of packaged face masks. read more

The food hits the spot. We ordered the Deluxe and it does not miss. Everything is freshly prepared and the flavors are phenomenal. I just wish they had places like this in SGV.

This place is definitely a hidden gem-- from the service to the food, I cannot recommend it enough. To start, the owner was such a sweetheart! She really made me want to come back before I even tried the food. Plus, I called ahead, but it only took 10 minutes for my food to be ready. Which is crazy, considering how good the food is! Onto the food. We got the deluxe box and, oh my goodness, when she handed us the box I was blown away. The pictures don't do it justice, it's a great portion for the price. It was absolutely delicious-- the bolgogi is very very good in particular. We'll definitely be back! read more

At first, I felt apprehensive going inside the building, but I was greeted and treated really well! I got a nice green tea, and I ordered the bulgogi and galbi bowls. For about $10 each, it was a good, sizable, and delicious meal! Plenty of veggies and the meat was very well seasoned! It was very filling, the meat was tender and a little sweet and savory, and the veggies were nicely cooked but still had a satisfying crunch. Definitely stop by and try it sometime! read more

K-Mama BBQ - Entrance/dinning and waiting area. - Barbeque Near Me - San Bernardino, California

i was excited to try this place based on the reviews but i was a bit underwhelmed by my experience. Finding the place was not difficult, the place looks ok, iits adjacent to a residential area. Inside there is a good sized sitting area which can probably potentially serve dine in but Its a "to go" only restaurant. Food was underwhelming. I ordered the mama meal so I can taste their banchan sides. The meal I chose was supposed to have the kalbi and bulgogi meats, but unfortunately I was notified after ordering p and paying that they only had kalbi so i said ok they can double the kalbi. When I got my food, I was pleased with the presentation but the meat quantity was disappointing, it looked like I only received a portion of meat, not two. Food taste was average, a bit under seasoned. The kalbi was not tender, at all. The japchae noodles were overcooked and again, not seasoned. The kimchi was also disappointing. I paid almost $25 (with a drink) for this meal and I wished I should have just went to my go to AYCE korean bbq place. The only saving grace for me was the service. I was served complementary hot green tea while I was waiting for my food. Otherwise, I would rate a star less. I hope the owner is paying attention. read more

My wife and I moved to San Bernardino a couple of years ago. The food here rivals what you would find in K-town or Sawtelle in LA. The bulgogi is delicious (the spice level is no joke), the veggies are crisp and fresh, the japchae is juicy. The people who run the place are incredibly welcoming and sweet people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

Tastes like a home meal. Warm, cozy, really nice disposable chop sticks, a good hefty portion. It was on the saltier side but the kimchi was top notch. I enjoyed my japchae with my pap bowl with galbi. The veggies were good and made it light and not super heavy. And of course service was friendly!! read more

We were on the way home from Snow Valley and wanted to get food right off of the mountain, so we came across K-Mama on Apple Maps. We decided to check it out since the reviews were fantastic and we were not disappointed. We tried the chicken and beef bowls, and the crispy shrimp. We also tried all of their homemade sauces (the spicy mayo was our favorite). All of the food was made to order within 10 minutes and tasted so fresh and flavorful. The bowls were actually really large for $10 ($10.50 if you pay credit card). It was a to-go only spot but had a little seating area for waiting. Overall, it'll be our new post-snowboarding food spot. read more

The service was amazing!! The food smell and taste delicious! 10/10! I will definitely be back! I'm so happy I found this place!!!

This will definitely be my go to spot for Korean food in this area! I ate the bibimbap and felt satisfied and wanting for more afterwards. This dish truly defines a well balanced meal. My mother had Papa Bowl #1 and she was surprised by the portion size. The meats were marinated well and it had the authentic bulgogi taste we love which is savory, salty, and sweet. The owners were very awesome and friendly! They greeted us right away, we received free gifts of rice cakes and my mom got a scarf, and they adjusted my little bro's order of Mama Meal #3 by substituting the veggies and kimchi with all rice. I will definitely be coming back! :) read more

Their customer service is lovely, the lady who takes your order always has a pleasant conversation with me. As for the bowl, the vegetables are perfectly steamed, they are soft but still have crunch. The japchae and dumplings are flavorful. The rice is delicious on its own, I tend to add soy sauce to my rice but their rice doesn't need it. The bulgogi is delicious and they give you a good portion. Overall their food is appetizing and it's my go to lunch now. read more

Where do I start?!? The food is just straight up delicious. The Deluxe Meal is a great value for $29.95. Ima thick girl and my man ain't small but we had enough protein leftover from the Deluxe Meal for one more person to eat. My 3 year old loved it and ate all her tasty veggies. This place has fast food convenience and pricing but the food tastes like someone who loves you and cares about you made it. Affordable healthy gourmet tasting food. Oh and the service! Kelly was so sweet and friendly. FYI the restaurant is pick up only but the waiting area is clean and comfortable. read more

Finally...Korean food in San Bernardino! Great food, great portion, and great value. My chicken bowl was $10 and delicious. If you like Korean food, please support this family business. While I waited, the owner, Kelley, brought me a hot green tea. K Mama brought me my order and mentioned they will soon have hand made dumplings on the menu! Not pre packaged frozen ones. read more

K-Mama BBQ - Chicken bowl - Barbeque Near Me - San Bernardino, California

KMama BBQ! To start, I've driven by this place a few times as it is near my home. After speaking with some of my roommates who've had it, I decided to give it a try! Walking in, you can tell that this is a hole in the wall, mom & pop sort of atmosphere! I was greeted by one of the business owners and she was so friendly! The biggest pillar of food service to me is customer service and it was ON POINT at this place. The business owner took some extra time to ask my name, get to know me, and tell me about why the decided to open this wonderful establishment. Now on to the thing on everyone's mind, the food: I ordered a Papa Bowl #2, which is a pork bowl. I opted for the bulgogi option. The bowl is HUGE!!! It comes with rice, japchae (glass noodles), pork bulgogi, dumplings, kimchi, and an assortment of veggies like (carrots, zucchini, and brocolli) I ended up getting pork ribs along with my bowl as well! The bulgogi had so much flavor, yielding a perfect blend of spice, savory, and umami! The japchae was flavored deeply with sesame oil and I added soy sauce. The veggies were cooked perfectly with a little bit of crunch in every bite. The kimchi, tasted very fresh and homemade. The dumplings were also VERY GOOD, with them being filled with some sort of veggie base. The pork ribs were FALL OF THE BONE TENDER. I don't know about you guys, but when I get a bowl, I like to mix all of the components together to get a whole new flavor profile from when each of them are eaten separately. Let me tell you, this did not disappoint!!!!! Lastly, if you want quality food made with love and get every bang for your buck, this is the place to go to. You will not regret it. I love how personable the business owners are and it shows in their customer service and in their food. This place gets a 10/10 from me and I'd definitely recommend read more

I tried K-Mama BBQ for the first time today and had an excellent experience. The customer service was amazing from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. I ordered a Papa Bowl #1 with beef bulgogi. The bowl comes with rice, japchae, beef, assorted vegetables, and a dumpling. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The food was very fresh, and the portion was large enough for me to have leftovers. I will definitely be going to back, and I encourage others to visit too. read more

So very good if you like that food. It was so tasty. I would say try it no regrets. You won't go wrong

TAKE OUT ONLY! Worth it. Ordered 2 Kmama meal sets, pork in one, kalbi and bulgogi (beef) in the other. One set got a bit of too much seasoning(as told to us by the hostess). They wanted us to know it would be a little longer. THEY MADE US A WHOLE NEW SET. And gave us the messed up one for free! The food is real Korean, mom and pop home kitchen good! Came with some veggie side dishes, some pickled radish, and egg and spinach. The rice was fluffy and good. I am now a regular. I decided this after eating. read more

Very clean, quick service and great food! The owners are really nice and its a great quick lunch spot without fast food!

Let me start by saying that the service was amazing and staff was friendly and informative. They even made recommendations for the type of meat I should choose for my Bibimbap. Which was delicious! The meat was so tender. The dish also includes a fried scrambled egg mixed with veggies which is then rolled and sliced and other that were cut and displayed beautifully. You may miss it if you are coming up Waterman Canyon, bit this place is quite literally a hidden gem before you head up the mountain. They just opened up about two weeks ago so they currently do not have a dinning area, but do accept cards and have accessable QR codes around the the property you can scan and order via curbside/curbside pickup. Although it's a bit hidden, I would love be to see this place take off because the food and customer service were enough to make me come back. read more

Delicious Korean food and excellent services! The side dishes are really good, too. We enjoyed their food very much. The only suggestion I have is, the food and side dishes were a little bit too salty for us and I ended up drinking a lot of water after eating there. The flavors are superb, and if the food is slightly less salty, I would definitely give five plus stars to this business. read more

Hot fresh and DELICIOUS!!! Do yourself a favor and get the package that has EVERYTHING! Will most definitely be back :)

The food here was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Kelly in the front was so welcoming and kind and even gave me a gift for being a first time customer and to celebrate their opening. Kelly gave me a beautiful purple scarf that was wrapped with great care. The spicy pork and beef bulgogi was my favorite and their chicken was very tasty as well. I couldn't get enough of their kimchi, will definitely come back. Update: came back and Kelly is still so friendly and welcoming. Their food is healthy and delicious. Today I ordered dumplings & 2 mama bowls, 1 beef bulgogi bowl and the other spicy pork bulgogi bowl for 9.99 each bowl, very good size portions and their dumplings were the best I've ever had. read more
