| - After reading all the great reviews, I was excited to give them a try. I must say my experience was a little underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, Other Mama's was good, just not outstanding. But it might be that my expectations were too high.
First, the good: the pork belly kimchi fried rice was fantastic! Flavorful and served in a hot stone pot, so when you mix the over easy egg into the rice, the pot cooks the egg at the same time. The grilled shrimp salad was also delicious! Would definitely order both of these again.
Next, the rest: the jalapeño hush puppies were a bit bland. There was a kick from the jalapeño but something was missing. The caviar French toast also didn't quite pair up well. I see the intent, trying to balance the saltiness of the caviar with the sweetness of the toast, but for me, it didn't work. And at $19, not worth the price.
Service was very good, our server was attentive and the food came out quickly. It's a small space, but we didn't have to wait (on a weeknight).
