Great experience love dining here we will be back soon. Thank you for kind service and wonderful food

Pros: The space inside is nice with modern decoration. I love the marble table topper! The food itself is also really good, tasty, and well decorated. Portion is fine which I like. A lot of Korean restaurants have really large portion which stops me from trying other dishes at once visit! Customer service is friendly and welcoming! They are really nice and kept checking on us with food and water! Cons: Since the restaurant is more a fusion type, I can see the price is quite overpriced which is somehow understandable if taking rent and all the investments into consideration. We got the combo with really good price including teokbbokki and kimpap. Ordering item separately can increase the bill. The place can get really crowded and parking can be terrible! My kimpap was broken when I grabbed it with chopsticks tho . However I love my experience in here tho! read more

Food is ok. Wait too long, not worth it. Plus they forgot to add the cheese topping that we paid extra for on thr Japanese steak, AFTER we waited for 30 minutes. And fried chickens took 1+ hour for them to make. Why?? Their rice drink is quite yummy though. read more

Great service and great food. Loved the bi bim bap. Some of the dishes can be admittedly a little pricey...$20 for bi bim bap, but it's undeniably flavorful. Overall think this is one of the best asian restaurants in the Factoria Newcastle area. read more

I am giving this place one star because of their "discrimination." My husband and I walked into the restaurant around 2pm on Saturday and there was a four people table available. The server asked us not to sit there because there might be bigger group of customers. We then waited to be seated until someone else left, and sat in around a big shared table. After we sat in, a white couple came in the restaurant. The serve then directly led them to sit on the four people table. I was pissed! I wonder why? Because we are Asians? @Manager: I disagreed. I also hope that you can understand this is a racial discrimination. We were in the restaurant at 2pm- it was definitely not a rush hour. If you define it a rush hour, the the white couple walked in right after us also came in during rush hour. The server first asked us to sit the narrow seats around the window, then we decided to wait because those seats look uncomfortable. But when the white couple walked in, no questions to them, no ask to sit around the window. She just took them directly to the four people seat. read more

Mamas kitchens Korean fried chicken is probably one of my top 3 favorite kfc's in Washington. I love that their kimbap's stuff to rice ratio is 8:2 (that's what I prefer), their plain kfc still has a lot of flavor + super crunchy and same with the spicy kfc. I'd definitely come back here just to get their kfc :) read more

Mama's Kitchen - Mamas Kimbap, Korean Fried Chicken Wings, Kimchi Cheese Fried Rice - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The food here is pretty tasty. I would recommend their jjolmyeon and their bibimbap as things to order. If you haven't had much korean food before outside of soondubu this is a great place to start exploring. The dishes here are pretty simple to make so I think the food is on the pricey side for what it is. Mama's is a great new addition to the factoria area since the korean food scene in bellevue is very limited. read more

Yikes! What happened to this place. The few times before going here the food was pretty good. Now, not so much. They're serving frozen foods. Tempura, gyoza and tteokbokki were obviously of the frozen variety, not made fresh. It looks and taste like something made in a dorm room. It's too bad, I really wanted them to succeed and flourish. Maybe there was an ownership change or they're cutting cost to survive Covid. Either way, what a disappointment. read more

Second visit, the taste is even better. The quality of foods still very good. The spicy pork is very flavorful, right amount of spiciness and the slight crunchy bean spouts were perfect match to the dish. Their price is a little higher than other Korean restaurants but the food presentation, taste and ingredient quality is worth for extra money. I think the modern twist in their cooking is awesome. Kiddos agree too!! Service was friendly and even the chef behind the open kitchen is friendly read more

Mmm. Korean flavors made with home style cooking. Be ready for a long wait while the food is prepared with consistent flavors, but it is worth the wait. read more

Simple and straightforward very tasty food. Nice portions. We had meal the night before that was half as good and cost 5.5X. The KFC is so good! read more

First time eating here and won't be the last. Hubby and I were craving soup on this rainy WA day. We decided on soft tofu soup, but didn't want to go to our usual spots in Federal Way. Instead we decided to try Mama's Kitchen in Factoria. Gald we did! We've seen this place a number of times, but was just never hungry at the time. This place is very cute, well kepted and cozy. Located across the new Amazon Fresh building/Factoria Mall. Open for dine-in, but can get busy because they only have about 4-5 small tables that can accommodate 2-4 people that I noticed. They also have a bar-like sitting area in front of the windows. Menu is simple. No self cooking at this place. You get to enjoy other dishes of Korean cuisine. We ordered: Kimchi cheesy pancake - nice crunchy outside that added a nice texture to the cheesy filling. Veggie Veggie Kimbap - absolutely delicious and I personally prefer the veggie over the kimbaps that contain meat. The kimbap was not overly filled with rice like some places we've been to. Filled with plenty of red cabbage, carrots, radish, and tofu. I could eat that on it's own as a meal. yangnyeom chicken wings - so full of flavor! Yummy and sticky. Had a hint of sweetness after finishing the bite. Even with all the sauce, the chicken still had a nice crunch to it. note: it was the most expensive item that we ordered @ $18.99. Soondooboo/Soft tofu soup - you cannot go wrong with this dish. simple and just jam packed with flavor and spice that will definitely warm you up on those cold days. You have the option of what spice level you want. Mild, regular or extra spicy. Had beef and seafood in the soup. Comes with a bowl of white steamed rice. Soft tofu. no need for chewing. Spicy Seafood Soup/Spicy seafood ramen - Can eat this as a single serving or can share with one other person if you wanted. Came with pieces of calamari that was cooked perfectly. Few pieces of shrimp with partial of the tail on. Not sure why it was still on when the rest of the shell wasn't. Also on top was 1 mussel. Broth was amazing. You can for sure taste the seafood in the broth itself. No pictures of the ramen. Was the last item that came out. Waited a while for it to the point where I thought they had forgotten about it. For sure a place I'd go back to and try other items on the menu. They are closed on Mondays and have lunch specials Tues-Fri. Korean food without smelling like you just left a BBQ lol! Try this place out! Enjoy! read more

Food poisoning!!. We went for lunch on Feb-10 and thought the food was ok, but we ended up with food poisoning. We had kimbab, veggie bimimbab with fried egg, fried breaded chicken that came with rice and salad. We also had the white soup. read more

Food was delicious, although over-priced. Service was quick and attentive. Would definitely come back again.

Has a lot of customer traffic and is a relatively small place. We were fortunate to get a seat for two at one of the windows, and there seemed to be one person taking orders for the whole place. They were incredibly quick and succinct (which we liked) and we got our food fairly quickly. We had mama's kimbap (excellent!), Galbi Jjim Bibimbap (also excellent) and the spicy pork over rice (just ok). We like the radish kimchi that comes with some of the dishes, but we also got the cabbage kimchi (side dish you have to pay for separately) which I thought was fantastic. Will definitely come here regularly. read more

*Chef Kiss literally spectacular like there taste is consistent everything about Mama's Kitchen is amazing. Been coming back to back and I fall in love all over again. If I had to say one con it would be the wait time but it's not bad read more

I've been seeing reccomendations for Mama's Kitchen pop up on my social media feeds, so I was excited to try them! They are offering dine-in at 50% capacity and are taking extra precautions to ensure a safe dining experience, but we opted for delivery. They're easy to find on UberEats, Doordash, and Grubhub. We got the yangnyeom chicken wings and beef bulgogi over rice. Both dishes were so good. The chicken wings were crispy. The sauce was sweet, but lightly spicy. We'll definitely be ordering them again. The bulgogi was tasty too and large enough to be my lunch the next day! read more

This is my new favorite korean restaurant. I've been here two times and this place is AMAZING. Their korean fried chicken is to die for. The prices are a little bit on the "pricier" side but it's all worth it. Be sure to go during lunch because they have lunch specials which usually come with free gyoza + drink + normal entree for a cheaper price. The bulgogi is SO delicious so be sure to order that! My friend and I wished we just ordered one bulgogi to share and the wings (we both got bulgogi and it was a lot). Shoutout to the really nice staff! read more

The MOST delicious Korean food out there! We tried the sushi, the spicy pork and the hot tofu soup and it was all INCREDIBLE. I've never experience eating somewhere where everything taste good. Definitely 100% recommend if your in the area and love Korean food. The indoor dining service is amazing too, very kind and very clean environment. read more

Mama's Kitchen - Mamas Kimbap - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Went here with a friend for dinner. There actually isn't that much Korean food in Bellevue, so I was really curious and excited to check this place out! Before coming here, I took a look at some photos of the food here, and I thought the portions were kind of small, but I guess those photos were a bit misleading??? Because the portions were all pretty generous! The kimbap was definitely the best dish we got. These rolls are BIG. Like, they take more than one bite to eat. But they are so delicious! My friend made a good point that you could taste the flavor of every ingredient they put in the kimbap, which looking back, is completely true. There's the sweetness of the carrot and pickled radish, a bit of savory from the egg and beef, and it's all rounded out by the sesame oil finish glazed on the rolls. It's a very fresh and incredibly addicting bite! It also came with a side of radish kimchi. Maybe I just haven't had good kimchi in a while (Korean restaurants in UW don't have good kimchi), but I really liked this kimchi. The radish was super crunchy and had a great balance of sweet and pungent from the fermentation process. The kimbap itself could make for a full meal, and is a dish that I'll be thinking a lot about. We also got a combo of soondubu (tofu soup) and spicy pork over rice. While I still enjoyed the kimbap more, both were still really good. The soondubu had a deeper flavor than other tofu soups I've had, with the flavor of the seafood in the soup really blending with the broth. Really happy with this soup, and they were really generous with the seafood :) My one complaint is that we ordered extra spicy, and both of us didn't think it was spicy at all! Maybe it's more a testament to our spice tolerance levels, but I still feel like this place doesn't really go that hard with the spice. The spicy pork over rice also had the same issue with spice. It really could've been spicier, but the porky flavor mixed with the sweet chili sauce still made it really enjoyable. The most surprising part, however, were the bean sprouts on top. I don't really like bean sprouts, but these were delicious! It was just a simple cook with sesame oil and salt, I think, but that was enough for me to be hooked. There was also almost too much rice for the pork we got, but I'm not complaining, rice is great :) I don't usually talk about service, but the people that work here are just so nice! They're very smiley and friendly and made the whole experience all the better. The prices may seem a bit steep, and that is a bit of qualm that I have with this place! Even so, I would definitely come back to try other dishes they have to offer (and that kimbap!), just amp up the spice and I'll be super happy! read more

Sorry this place is overpriced for what you get. We used to love the tuna kimbap but as you can see from our photo, there's hardly any tuna now and it's super old and dry! The chicken wings are the worst "Korean" style wings we've had in the area and we've tried them all. They are coated in a weird fluffy dry coating of insulation type flakes -yuck! I'm shocked people actually like it. The dukbokki is good, especially with the cheese but quite expensive for what you get. The bibimbap is ok but the meat is fatty and not great. The vegetables are pretty good and usually plentiful so that is another plus. Will give 2 stars instead of 1 in hopes they fix the tuna kimbap- I will try again in a month and update review if anything changes. read more

Mama's Kitchen - What happened to the Tuna in the tuna kimbap? It used to be a good amount and now it's a dry tiny dollop! - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Great tuna kimbop! Love the crunchiness of it and never thought tuna would be a combo in kimbop. The texture of this one actually tastes better than mamas kimbop. Their spicy fried chicken is also really good! Sweet and spicy , great with any beer! read more

Moved Bellevue over a year ago, this is the best tasting Korean restaurant so far in the area, relatively small restaurant with an open kitchen, but the ambiance is modern and cozy. Ordered the Yangnyeon chicken wings, soondooboo and cheese Tteokbokki, they are all good, would definitely come back!! read more

This restaurant is like where they try to be an upscale restaurant with common Korean food. I agree with previous reviews that food is expensive here. A row of Kimpbap where you can get a similar one from Hmart for $5 is $14. It is delicious and fancy but man... why is the price so high? Inside is mostly veggies too. Their half and half chicken is $21 and the size is one person serving. Very small chicken wings. I think it would be worth it if you actually go to this restaurant and dine in to enjoy the service and food. read more

Over-priced Korean restaurant. I know rent in Bellevue is pretty high but $12 kimbop is just ridiculous! You're better of buying kimbop from H-Mart for $5 and eat it off a nice plate. You won't even be able to tell the difference! $15 dduk-bbok-gi was just meh! Their kabi-jjim-BBB was pretty decent but definitely is not worthy of paying $20. There was a lot of hype when they first opened but the hype is dying down and if they don't adjust their price, they won't be in business for much longer. read more

I love the food here. You can definitely tell it's a cut above your run of the mill Korean restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the quality a bit better, and the restaurant is very clean. The service is also fantastic. Though worth a few extra bucks each visit, but unfortunately it's priced even more than that. So though I'll be coming back, it just won't be regularly. read more

I had a chance to visit this new place during lunch time. Our couple had a Kimbab + Ttokboke combo, Gyoza, and Kimchi pancake. Overall, food was below-average. Ttokboke was not spicy & sweet enough, Kimbab + Ttokboke combo portion was scanty, kimchi pancake was oily & soggy. Personally, I think H-Mart food court serves the same menu with better flavor & much better price. We paid $50+ including tax and tips, which I will definitely not pay again for mediocre Korean street food. Very disappointing. Great, location, great service, great atmosphere is wasted. I hope they work around the menu soon. read more

I can't wait to come back to this place. We tried the combo with soondooboo and galbi-jim bibimbap. It was the best bibimbap I've ever had--the short ribs were delectable. The soondooboo was also delicious. I split the combo with someone else and we still had leftovers! (Though the leftovers disappeared fast.) Next time I would really like to try the wings and the tteokbooki. Our neighbors got those and they looked so good we were jealous. Service was great too. The only bad thing about eating here is that we were sitting at the long table in front of the door, and every time the door opened (which was every couple of minutes), cold air blasted in on us. It would be nice if they could put a screen or something in front of the door to protect their diners! read more

Finally! Super happy about this place opening up in Bellevue, they've brought a missing type of Korean food to this area, and they've done it in a way that will make you feel you're in Korea. Well designed, simple interior, equally simple menu with a number of korean favorites. Dakboki and Kimbop, seems simple but there's really no good place in Bellevue to get these two dishes... until now! This place really hit the spot, come earlier to avoid crowds, already very popular for good reason. read more

I get the veggie kimbap with extra kimchi and it's delicious every time. Some of the best radish kimchi I've had.

I got Cheese Tteokbokki last time, and spicy pork over rice today. Ngl it's slightly better than my mom's lol lots say its pricey but look at some restaurants out there where they increased their menu prices but minimize the portions (won't say where) but Mama's kitchen has good enough portion for well made quality Korean food. I give Tteokbokkii 4/5 since super spicy was too mild for me. One of the nearest best Korean restaurant imo (I'm Korean) read more

We really wanted to try this place because of the Korean fried chicken. We tried them, and out of everything we ordered (bimbap, kimbap, korean ramen, taekkboki), it was the most unsatisfying - even though it's supposed ti be their specialty. Will come back, but not for the chicken. read more

Decent food but expensive!! This place is clean unlike many other rundown Korean restaurants in the Seattle area. But still -- that doesn't mean kimbap can cost $12. read more

We did not have the best experience; our server forgot our order and neglected to come tell us after we've been waiting for 45 minutes for our food and had to flag someone down and they retook our order. They also didn't come to fill up our water and we had to ask twice for more. The fact that we were there for almost 2 hours due to a long wait for the food and there were no accommodations being made for this delay was disappointing for us. Overall food was decent, but I wasn't very pleased with the prices - they were extremely overpriced for how much you get, thus a 2 star for Mama's. The dishes they offer aren't all your typical Korean dishes - they put their own twist on certain dishes and have other interesting things to offer such as mayo katsu or japanese-style hamburgers. - Katsu Mayo over rice $13 - this was on the smaller side and they give you two slices of chicken breast katsu that are pretty thin. I like my katsu on the medium thickness side so this wasn't my jam. Flavor was alright tho and the mayo was an interesting touch that kind of works! - Chadol Jjyolmyeon $17 - a cold chewy noodle salad that is spicy and has greens and half an egg in it with some other shredded veggies and a little bit of brisket. I liked how chewy the noodles were and the spicy kick was very nice. This is a good hot summer day dish for sure because the veggies make it refreshing. Spacing inside the restaurant is slightly tight, the decor is modern and minimalistic looking. It's a clean look! They also serve their foods on pretty bowls/plates so its pretty instagrammable on their marble top tables if you're into that. read more

My family and I ordered tteokbokki+kimbab, chadol jjolmyeon, and cheese hambak steak jungsik and they all came out as exactly same as pictures on their menu. My family including 15mo old son really enjoyed the food. Service was great as well. Though it was very busy and crowded, servers did not miss our requests and they were very kind all the time. If you like Korean food, you must try here. It is great to have this wonderful new restaurant in Bellevue. read more
