| - Sadly, Mother's has gone downhill.
First of all, they have raised their prices significantly...you know, one of those really subtle price-change strips down the side of the menu so there can be no doubt in your mind that you are paying more. With all the extra money they're now making, you'd think they could spring for a newly-printed menu. Not to mention that raising prices is a bad pychological move in this economy.
They have no wine list that I could see, and only 2 Korean beers. We ordered beer, but the waitress forgot . So after we dove in to the Kimchee sides and our tongues felt like we were fire-eaters, I had to chase her down to bring the beer to mitigate the mouth-heat. Lots of apologies followed. (Too late girls.)
My group ordered the 4 beef-combination plate for 3 people at $75. The beef was kinda gray and measly. It tasted fine once it was barbecued, but it was not high-quality meat. (Here's another tip: if bringing raw meat to the table is part of the dining experience, make sure the meat looks really good cuz people are going to look at it!)
The place is open 24 hours, not that I ever have a craving for beef at 5 in the morning, but all in all, I think it's time to explore some of the Korean restaurants elsewhere in town. Perhaps some of those mysterious places in the Commercial Center at Sahara and Maryland Parkway.
