I didn't even realize this spot would be open early enough for us to enjoy some strong mimosas before our long day, but what a pleasant surprise! We were greeted warmly, seated right away at a nice corner table, and our drinks came out quickly. Before we knew it, we were ordering food, and it arrived shortly after. I had the steak and eggs, while my sister ordered the chicken and waffles. Let me tell you, the steak and eggs were SO GOOD! I was genuinely impressed because I don't usually order steak anywhere other than a steakhouse, lol. !! They cooked it perfectly and exactly to order. It was so delicious that we ordered another plate for a friend who was joining us because we already knew they would love it, too! The food, service, and overall atmosphere were all on point. Everyone was great, and the vibes were fun and welcoming. Then, on our way out, we stopped by the bar to take a few shots to officially seal off our brunch, and the bartender was AMAZING! The energy was just as good at the bar as it was at our table. Mom's Kitchen definitely delivered on the food, drinks, and vibes! If you're looking for a fun spot for an early morning brunch in Manhattan, especially in Hell's Kitchen, I would absolutely recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

I got the buffalo mac & cheese balls, veggie burger and a passion fruit margarita with a coronita during happy hour. The margarita was GOOD lol and definitely did its job . The buffalo mac & cheese balls were probably my favorite, especially with the Sriracha ranch. My boyfriend loved them too and ended up getting the burger as well, but swapped the veggie patty for beef because he liked all the toppings and condiments. Our server was really friendly and service was good overall. My only complaint was cleanliness. The table we sat at was sticky and I noticed quite a few other tables that looked like they needed a more thorough wipe down. The restrooms could've been cleaner too. Still glad I came back though. The food definitely didn't disappoint!

I was recommended by my colleague when I tell her I'm going to haidilao and she recommended Zha zha beef hotpot. I gave a try because haidilao is always a line. We came Zha Zha on Monday night, there's no wait. They have good selection of broths, because some Chinese hotpot only has spicy options. The food was good, and decent prices. I didn't give 5 stars because of the service. There're 2 staffs one boy one girl but they both look like not in good mood, they will just turn on the stove, refill broth, and left the food on table without saying anything. Especially refilling the broth (we didn't ask for refill but she was sweet to refill for us), she came to our table and refill right away without saying a word, it's kind dangerous while we also eating because the broth might spill out.

Great atmosphere, vintage themed with bamboo chairs and decors. It was a different experience from…read moreother hot pot places. Their tablet menu has the language option to select English but their paper menu was fully Chinese so I had no idea what it says. So you choose a combo which includes a few dishes of different type of beef and it will tell you approximately how many people it will feed. The combo comes with a drink per person (you can choose from a plum juice or a soda) and you can additional add on and there is a small section of food menu. I personally didn't think the soup base was too special (got the tomato base since it's more suitable for my toddler). The meat was good but after a while the taste got a bit tiring and the add ones from the hot pot was a bit limited for my liking. Don't get me wrong I think if you're someone that loves beef then this may your haven. Came on a Saturday and there was no wait, the service was okay. After you order they are not as intentive.

Beef with Flat Rice Noodles: Great flavor and delightfully not greasy like at most places (though I wished the noodles were slightly wider). Three Meat Platter (BBQ Pork, Roast Pork, Squid): The stand-out here was the squid--super tender and packed with flavor! Pork Trotter with Yellow Peanuts: Really rich and flavorful, though our dish was surprisingly missing the peanuts. Yangzhou Fried Rice: A very interesting and unique flavor profile.
