    Beef noodle soup #24
    Ron N.

    Great spot we found to be surprisingly good. I ordered the #24 beef noodle soup which was delicious . we also ordered beef rolls as appetizer , pineapple fried rice, fried croaker, and braised short rib beef was very flavorful . highly recommend.

    Mom's Kitchen is an underground classic in SLC. Everytime we go it is always delicious! The staff is always friendly and the food comes out quickly yet perfect every time. It is a cute family restaurant and a must-go in the city!

    49. Kimchi Fried Rice with Pork
    Samantha L.

    I've been eating here for many years. I have tried other kimchi fried rice and nothing else compares. The fried dumplings with pork and green onion are amazing. The inside could use a little facelift, but the vibe is super casual and the service staff is also just as casual. I have told myself I will try other things on the menu (we have had the chicken and cilantro dumplings too which are great) but this is our go-to order. They have some very authentic Chinese dishes if that's your thing but the broad menu should be great for any palette

    All of it was delicious.

    After our stay in Moab, on our way back to the Bay Area, I was thrilled to find this place with the help of yelpers. The dishes were delicious and generous. Salt Lake City is lucky to have this quality place, they have a bit of Korean food too, but I was happy with our dishes, see photos.

    41. Taiwan Fried Chicken
    Belu C.

    I had high expectations but was quite disappointed. The popcorn chicken was not good. There was a lot of flour with not much meat. It was not crispy and what's worse, the chicken was a bit tough. The size was also small considering it costs $10.99. I didn't like the Mom's mala noodles. Was not very mala but very sour. I think they accidentally added too much vinegar. My friend didn't know what dish it was and thought it was sour and spicy noodles. (I like sour and spicy noodles but this was not it) The only dish I was satisfied with was the intestine. It tasted good. Wish a free bowl of rice could come with each entree though. Overall this place was overpriced/portions were very small. Food was alright. My friends said its quality has declined. I probably won't come back.

    Beef shank and tendon (cold)
    Colin O.

    Came here to try some different chinese dishes. Glad I did. Didn't realize Id find such a good spot in Salt Lake City. The cold beef shank and tendon was very flavorful and the spicy intestines was very good as well. I realize that most people would be like wtf? Intestines? But they were outstanding, nice blend of spice and veggies. The cold beef shank had a really good flavor to it as well. The dumplings were also tasty but didn't stand out as much as the other two dishes. If you are looking for the typical run of the mill fake ass chinese food like "orange chicken" this isnt the place for you. But if you want to get a taste of some real authentic dishes, this place will hit the spot for sure!

    Classic & authentic Chinese food. Don't go here if you want a "panda" experience. We got the Mo-Bo tofu, Green Beans & Garlic, and turnip cake for two. Delicious!

    I really wanted to support Chinese restaurants that don't serve "American Chinese food" if you know what I mean. But this restaurant really disappointed us. The braised pork was terrible - wrong seasoning, very slim and dry meat... we just could not believe a Chinese kitchen could mess up with this super classic Chinese dish. The recipe for braised pork - no matter it's on the sweeter side or on the more savory side - should still be good in general, but this one was just unacceptable to us. The rest of what we ordered were nothing truly worth mentioning, if you frequent Chinese restaurants. I mean the veggie stir-fry was good and fresh; the beef and cilantro rolls recommended by everyone were ok because while the beef tasted good and pretty homey, the dough was pretty hard to chew; and the mom's stuffed pork buns were not like the ones from Shanghai but just meat buns with one side that got pan seared a bit. The meat still felt fresh though. Overall, we would not order again from this place.... Sad...

    Very flavorful and a variety of dishes to choose from. I would try pretty much everything on the menu if I could. The mom's special steamed dumplings takes a bit of time to cook, so I would order that first, as soon as you get it. It's a must try!!! They have special sauce too along with the chili sauce that goes so so well with it. I ordered Fish with Chili Bean Sauce for entre which was delicious, I got rice for side. What I also enjoyed was the Taro Turnip Cake with Pork Sausage, crunchy on the inside and soft inside. Service is pretty fast. The staff is very friendly. They have plenty of tables so it's not much of a wait time. It also depends on the time of the day. We went way after the lunchtime rush hour.

    94. Griddle Cook Cauliflower with Pork Belly

    Mom's Kitchen is one of my new favorite hidden gems! We found out about Mom's Kitchen through word of mouth. People had told us that the food was absolutely incredible so we were excited to give it a go. They did not disappoint--we loved it! Upon walking up to the building, there are several signs in two different languages talking about outside drinks, and a few other topics. I suppose they've had issues in the past, but it's still a little weird to have a bunch of these signs bombarding you, as you walk in. Once we walked inside, we saw the kitchen to the right and the lobby to the left. The lobby was quite outdated but nevertheless, it had a lot of charm to it. There was plenty of tables available to us, which was nice! At the table, they had some sauces and they also had another sign about kids not messing with the chopsticks, as it is seen as disrespectful in their culture. The menus were huge, both in size and quantity. Admittedly, it's a bit difficult to understand the menu as they're just numbered and we couldn't find a pattern. There were certain veggies in the beginning of the book, and then more near the end of the book. Many of their menu items looked delicious, so my friends and I opted for "family style". We were losing track of the numbers so each of us remembered one number from the menu, when it was time to order. We got some of the white rice, spicy pork, spicy cauliflower, buns, fried gyoza, and green beans. Everything was really good and there wasn't really any dish I didn't like. However, one dish definitely stood out from the rest. The green beans were so freaking good. They had garlic with them and just tasted out of this world good. We only had one person working FOH during our visit but she was amazing. She did a great job with refills, everything came out quick and correct. The overall vibes at Mom's Kitchen feel quite a bit outdated, but it also has a home-y feel to it. I think the signs everywhere are a bit passive aggressive. I mean, I am sure they had a few issues behind the signs but a lot of restaurants have issues with customers--that doesn't always make them hang signs everywhere about it. The menu items themselves are awesome and we loved our food. Though, I do think that they could reorganize their menu to make it easier to read and decide the order. The service was great and it was an awesome experience throughout. We would definitely visit Mom's Kitchen again for the authenticity and the delicious menu items!

    34. Pork Wonton Soup with Shelled Shrimp
    Hoa T.

    I went in search of some good dumplings. Mom's Kitchen has been on my radar so today is the day. - fried dumplings with pork and green onions: crispy on the bottom; the pork was juicy; overall pretty good - dumplings with pork & cilantro: juicy; the cilantro flavor was pretty strong; just okay - dumplings with pork, leek and shrimp: best flavor of the three; nice blend of flavors Pork wonto soup: the broth was super bland; the wonton has a decent amount of meat and not as bland as the broth Overall, this is an okay place but I would rather spend my money elsewhere for dumplings.

    37. Mom's Dumplings with Pork, Leek, and Shrimp
    David K.

    So we are here for our annual Park City ski trip and looking to try new restaurants. We were craving Chinese/Taiwanese food and checked out Mom's. Cucumber salad - this was delicious and elevated compared to other cucumber salads. Beijing meat pie was like a scallion pancake and a fried dumpling had a baby. Delish. Mom's homemade dumplings were excellent. Mom's fried rice with Taiwanese sausage and shrimp was perfect. It's a white fried rice without all that oil and soy sauce. It's totally my style. You will be punished if you play with your chopsticks.

    My mother-in-law recommended this to me. I'm usually really hesitant when people recommend Chinese…read moreRestaurants to me. I'm not a big fan of the "Panda Express" tasting Chinese food. For starters, we ordered the Wor Wonton Soup. The broth was rich and hearty. The shrimps were large and plentiful. All the vegetables blended in with the flavors. I just wish the beef was a little more tender. A little marinade in baking soda would fix this. We ordered some chicken lettuce wraps. This has minced chicken, celery, bamboo shoots, and carrots. These are good by themselves but are best with hoisin sauce. I just wish the lettuce leaves were bigger. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was also good. The sauce had a nice blend of mayo, honey and lemon. It had a little too much breading for me but still tasted good. For $16.99, I wished there was a bit more shrimp. One thing I really appreciate - they GLAZE the walnuts! This is one of the few places that I actually like the sauce and they glaze the walnuts! The Crispy Beef is definitely my favorite. In fact, I think this is better than the one I get from Red Maple. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of heat. Again, I really wish they would marinate the beef in baking soda to soften it up. The last dish we ordered was the Garlic Chicken. The server forgot to put the order in for this dish and there was a rush to get it out to us. They forgot to put garlic in this dish so wee sent it back. It was perfect when it came back. This place is fast becoming our go-to-place for Chinese Food. It's was a nice surprise and I'll can't wait to try the other dishes!

The look of the restaurant inside has changed a few times. when I was there last there was a casual seating area at the back of the restaurant. There were people there waiting for takeout orders. I really enjoyed the great chow mein with the beef. Next time I might try it with chicken or pork because the beef was a little hard to chew for my liking. The noodles tasted delicious and flavorful. I always have to order the cold cucumber salad. It is a great accompaniment to any dish. I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts. It is a strange request, but they accommodated me with no problem. They had a case at the front of the restaurant with grapes and strawberries, skewered and coated in a crunchy sugary coating. It was a little bit messy, but I did not mind because it tasted so good. The strawberries were super sweet, fresh and juicy with a thin, sweet crunchy shell. I will try the grapes next time.

Conveniently, we are in town for a couple days and our hotel is just right down the road. It was only right to mark this joint off my SLC food list. We came in around 5 and it was empty. My MIL and I picked a booth by the windows. I enjoy seeing the buzz of this city. It's was chaotic outside but so chill inside. It was nice to have the joint to ourselves. Jay served us tonight. He dropped off a couple menus and got some waters started for us. It was my MIL's first time trying Vietnamese cuisine. It took her a minute to breeze over the menu. As much as I wanted everything, I started off with a cup of the hot and sour soup. For dinner I got the black bean shrimp with veggies. My MIL decided on the bun thit nuong with cha gio. Last minute my MIL decided on some hot and sour soup too. They were dropped off first and it was perfect for hot soup on this cold winter day. The broth was thick and flavorful. It had hearty pieces of tofu, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The soup had a good heat to it. The heat didn't hit you right away, it gradually got spicier the more you ate it. My mouth was burning towards the end of my bowl. It was good but it could have been a bit more sour. My plate of black bean shrimp and veggies came out hot! The veggies looked fresh and colorful. The shrimp were plump. And the sauce smelled flavorful and salty from the fermented black bean. You can tell my dish just came out fresh from the wok. The veggies and shrimp were so hot! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The zucchini, green peppers and bamboo shoots were my favorite. All the veggies were covered in sauce, probably the best way to eat your veggies. I ate the whole plate! I'm not the biggest fan of water chestnuts and I even polished those off. My dish was fantastic. Jay did a great job serving us tonight. He was patient and attentive. He checked up on us several times even though he was so busy with to go orders. The location of this joint was so convenient. Even though it was freezing out, it was cool to walk to dinner. But it's also got to know they have parking available for their guests. Jay did a great job taking care of us tonight. And the food was spot on. I still have quite a few places I need to hit up when I'm in SLC but if we stay in the area again, I will have to hit up Red Lotus again. It was hands down a great meal and experience.
