I came here in my first year at uni, but that was a blur as I had too much fun that night and blacked out. I just remembered that the pork bone soup was so good that a bunch of us almost started a food fight :P.
So I guess this would be my first official visit haha. After a long night of intensive exam prep, we decided to have some comfort food at Ktown. Someone suggested to come to Mom's Korean Food because they had a craving for for the pork hock (12.95) which was a portion big enough for three of us. It was deboned, sliced, and tender, and we were gleeful at the amounts of collagen it contained which promotes youthful looking skin. There was some pickled tiny shrimps on the side to dip the pork in for flavour. Be sure to only dab a bit because the shrimps are very salty. /5
For the main dish we had the Korean army stew hotpot(~10/person) kind of like the Dak Galbi without the cheese and chicken. Ours had green bok choi, sausage, luncheon meat, instant noodles, mushrooms, rice cake, kimchi, and tofu in a spicy soup, boiling to perfection. We got rice to go with it, and it was so good! The soup went along with the rice quite nicely, and once the pot was boiling, the ingredients were really well soaked in the flavour of the soup. /5
SIDE DISHES: pickled cucumber and radish helps with fighting off the spiciness of the food. Also good with soju.
Atmosphere:
Very cozy, just like the name of the restaurant. It wasn't very loud at 9pm, so that was good.
Price:
Decent price, you get a good deal for what you pay for.
They also had combos where you can choose a dish and add on either one bottle of soju or 4 bottles of beer. I had that the second official time I went, which was:

and we chose the pork hock with soju. Not a big fan of soju but then we got beer and mixed that together xD so good with the pork hock!
Overall: a perfect place to have some late night snacks and drinks with friends, or a casual dinner date! I would be down to having food and drinks here with a potential s/o. (Not side order lol).
