Just had one of the worst experiences at Mama Cho’s. I have been going there since it opened and have always loved the food. Since 2020 they have literally doubled the price of a plate and reduced the amount of Kalbi Ribs in half. We spent $60 for Two of us. We have ordered the same thing for years and the cost was less than $35 with Tip. I will be shocked if they stay in business for much longer.

The first time I ate chicken it was hard and I couldn’t bite into it at all…. really disappointed… tastes like beef jerky.

Order a galbi bowl and it came with a scoop of rice, one strip of galbi( cut into 3 small pieces with the bone), bit of kimchi, and a sprig of lettuce. All this for $19. Incredibly overpriced.

I highly recommend the burrito. Really impressed how tasty it is combining the best of Korean and Mexican cuisine can be. The only downside is how long it takes to get your order.

Mama Cho’s was sooooo good I got the KBBQ bowl with the spicy pork and it was delicious. I practically inhaled it. Will definitely be back!

Not bad, not outstanding. I got the spicy pork burrito and it was a pretty good and reasonable price. The problem with the burrito, and with most burrito stores, is the taste is segregated. One side all I taste is rice and flour and the other side is a bunch of flavor. If they could mix the stuff together, I would run to give this place a better review. This place is a good snack and quick food and the rating reflects the taste of their burrito only. I will update when I try other options on their menu

One of the best Korean BBQ burritos I have ever had. The spicy pork is my go to but the kalbi is excellent as well. The bibimbap is good too although they don’t do stone pot.

I ordered a bowl with LA Kalbi and it came with one slice of short ribs cut into 3 for $17.50. I will not be ordering that again and will stick with the spicy pork for $13.50 instead.
