    This place has the best side dishes and the kindest staff! I've been back many times and every time they're welcoming and the food is very fresh!

    My sister's freezer - full of frozen meals from umma kitchen!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Umma Kitchen. My post-partum sister who lives in Oceanside makes me buy her huge bulk orders so she has meals ready for when she doesn't have time to cook. She is a VERY picky eater, but she's loved everything we've brought her from here! (FAVE Frozen Meals: Galbi Tang, Seolleongtang, Yukgaejang) I spend about $200-$300 every time I come here and it's so nice they have a rewards punch card and also give you free dwaeji gogi if you spend a certain amount. I also love that they offer healthy low-carb sauces and collagen jellies!! And all the Banchan are

    Wholesome local banchan shop. Super sweet staff and felt right at home :) loved the chun, but everything was delicious. I love supporting local businesses especially when they're Korean!! Can't wait to come back.

    The fried Chicken is so good!

    I definitely recommend this place. They have a few other side dishes. The customer service is perfect! Kind staff and you can ask for recommendations too.

    Such an amazing selection of side dishes that all look so delicious. Grabbed braised chicken soup, kimchi and perilla leaves and can't wait to try it out.

    We love Umma kitchen! The staff is amazing as well as the food. We know the ingredients and methods are picked with care and it saves us so much time every week since they have foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Highly recommend.

    Amazing home cooked meal kits. Love all the side dishes and meals here. Definitely worth a visit when you don't have time to cook. Very friendly staff and super nutritious food here. Would recommend it to everyone who's too busy to meal prep and wants the convenience in having a good home cooked meal!

    Always savory and fresh banchans and Korean soups!! My whole family loves!!!! One of my favorite shopping places to get great food.

    I came to this place for the first time, and found various Korean side dishes and meal kits. The price is reasonable overall and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I give this place a five stars!

    The store is so clean and organized- I'm really impressed! I like how they are known for their side dishes but they have other items like protein shakes and Korean snacks. The staff is very friendly as well!

    Umma Kitchen is one of my favorite stores. I highly recommend their fresh kimchi, easily the best in LA!! And all of their banchan and frozen soups are to die for. The owners and staff are also super nice and helpful, I truly enjoy the shopping experience here.

    This store has a variety of side dishes that are freshly cooked, and looks so yummy. will visit again!!

    Fresh Banchan! All my faves.

    I could not resist trying a bunch of delicious banchan from Umma's Kitchen. They had all of my favorite items and they were so friendly. See you again soon, I'll be back for more soon!

I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

That was my first mistake -- they don't even serve mu shu pork. That one's on me for not checking the menu first. I ended up getting my kung pao chicken and settled for the Mongolian beef, and veggie egg rolls. The Mongolian beef I could definitely pass on. The kung pao chicken was good at first, but somehow lost its flavor as the meal went on. The egg rolls were just okay. Nice and crispy on the outside, but too mushy on the inside for my liking. I was also pretty surprised (and a lot sad) that they didn't have hot mustard. The tea was really good though! Service was fine. The server was attentive, just clearly busy keeping up with all the takeout orders coming through. Ambience is definitely on the lower side here, so don't come expecting a nicer Chinese restaurant. It leans more Santa Ana burger joint vibes. That said, everything felt clean and they were pumping out a ton of takeout orders while we were there, so clearly they're doing something right. Overall, it just didn't hit for me, and I don't see myself coming back.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great.

A few looked like something from a sci fi movie but tasted like they were made by a pro at the top of their game. The pre fix is all that is offered but they offer some add ons. My wife and I got the tofu and rice which was the perfect amount of food and allowed us to get two desserts. We had asked the waiter about two add ons but he steered us away, saying it was too much food. Although he did suggest we add the duck fat rice (which is it's own add on) to the tofu. We really appreciated his guidance there. We left full but not uncomfortable. All the food was very good there were no misses, but the local fish with preserved mustard greens and the roasted strawberry dessert were two of the best things I have eaten in many many years.
