I've heard of other mama through friends and family. I had a clue where it was, but this place is pretty hidden I don't think plenty of people know about it!
My first impression: wow, the artwork on the walls are pretty cool. And that open kitchen is so unique. The ambience of the place was nice, but it is a small little spot. I had the impression that this place was Italian but when reading the menu I felt like they were more of a seafood/ sushi place.
My boyfriend's the one who took me here. So I let him order.
He ordered
- 2 orders of salmon sashimi
- 1 order of raw scallop sashimi
- kimchi fried rice
-calamari
LET ME TELL YOU!! The scallop sashimi was PERFECT. It melted so softly in my mouth with a bomb of beautiful flavors. If I could order 20 of those I would (but this place is pretty pricey)
And the kimchi fried rice snuck up on me with how flavorful it was. I'm warning you that at the first bite it was sour... but when you take a bite of it with the meat. The flavors made sense! -- these were the foods that stood out most to me.
The only downside I had to say was that it was pretty warm in there. Not sure if it's because we were seated at the bar close to the open kitchen, but I tended to fan myself a lot because of the heat.
Overall, unique and different experience with great service.
