| - Considering the not-so-good experience I had at a restaurant nearby in Koreatown, I was skeptical that this one would be any better. The decor of Mom's Korean Food is nothing fancy and the menu looked pretty much the same as all the other Korean restaurants nearby. However, they proved me wrong. Never judge a restaurant by its looks, because they have, hands down, the best Korean food I've ever tried. That isn't saying that much seeing as I've only been to a couple in my life, but next time I'm in the mood for Korean, I'm definitely coming back to this one.
FOOD:
We shared the fried pork dumplings as an appetizer, and they were delicious! And when dipped in the spicy sauce, they were even better. As a main, I had the spicy sizzling chicken, which came on a sizzling hot plate. Beware when picking your level of spiciness though, because I picked the mild (the least spicy possibly) and it was still very spicy! I also got to try my boyfriend's dish, which was the pork bone soup, and it was definitely very tasty. And as always, our plates came with the usual Korea sides (the best was definitely the pickled spiced radish!)
SERVICE:
The service is why this review got knocked down a star. They were definitely nice but I think they kind of forgot about our table half way through our meal. It took a while for them to come back and check on us, so we had to wave them down for the bill. We were seated on the patio though (which is nicer than the inside of the restaurant, by the way), so maybe that's why we were a bit forgotten- out of sight, out of mind kind of thing...
Overall, it was a great experience!
