    The sir fry squid spicy dish was awesome. Huge portion and rice on the side, my face was melting and I loved single bite. Crispy wings were incredible - seriously. The fried fish was awesome. Very, very, very tasty experience. The place was clean and the service was great.

    Very hard to find street parking but we did notice when we got seated there was info regarding their customer parking. Our friend was craving kimchi and I searched for one nearby and this place showed up. It had good reviews as well. The owner is so wonderful she made sure we were taken care of. You can tell she loves her customers. The food was great. We ordered the kimchi stew, 16oz kimchi, bulgogi-bop, and chicken katsu. Cute place and love the floral decors

    I ALWAYS visit Kimchi Mama when I am in NJ. The food is prepared with love. The owners of this mom and pop shop always ask if there is anything they need to do to make the meal better and I have never had a negative review for anything on their menu. This time my sisters and I tried the Korean Chicken Wings and they were fried to perfection! They were crunchy yet not dried out. I will be getting those again! The few times I have been in, the place has been empty. :/ But, I am hopeful that during the summer seasons, they have more business. If they don't, we'll read this review and stop on in! This place deserves all of the business!! :)

    If you are in the area, TLDR: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you visit here! First of all, the interior is gorgeous and so comfy. The mom and dad working there are so sweet as well and will be so welcoming during your time there. As someone who has had a fair share of Korean food in both NY and CA, Kimchi Mama's food still stands out to me as a favorite. The flavors of everything were amazing, especially the kimchi stew which was savory and packed with kimchi. The owners were also so nice as to give us extra freebies, which really added to the overall experience.

    My friends and I came to visit from NYC, we were so pleasantly surprised by the freshness and tastiness of this place!! NYC has a lot of Korean joints, and my friends and I all have been to a lot of them, when we tasted each dish we were all like, "duuude, this is so fucking good! Like wtf!" If that doesn't tell you how good place this is, I don't know what will. The owner of this place was so nice and friendly, we could tell that she really cares about ppl having a good time at her restaurant. After we left, we were all like, "wow, she was so nice. You don't get that kind of hospitality in nyc." Anyway, the point is, go, the food is going to be great and there is going to be great hospitality!

    This place is so cute! It's decorated so cozy with all these hanging lights and it had a Christmas fireplace showing on the TV. Get a hot stone bowl!! We got the pork and bulgogi bowl and it comes with all these fun sides to top it with. They have this great bipimbap sauce that really ties it all together. Will be going back to try more things!

    Very cute place & the food is amazing! We got the bulgogi hot pot. The complimentary sides were delicious too and the little donuts at the end. We will be back.

    I keep coming back to MOGO on Cookmam, one of my go-to spots in Asbury right now!…read more Food-wise, the pork burrito is my staple, especially with the veggie fried rice mixed in, it adds this perfect texture and makes the whole thing feel extra satisfying. The flavors are bold, well-seasoned, and consistent every time. The buldok cheesesteak is also a standout sandwich, spicy and cheesy. Don't skip the pickle bar either! The pickled cucumbers and spicy pear sauce are my favorites and honestly elevate everything. Bonus points for the strawberry lychee drink, which is super refreshing. Service is always friendly and easygoing, and even after 20+ visits over the past six months, it still feels welcoming. They also do a great job keeping things interesting, there's always something new or a collab popping up, which keeps me curious enough to try different items. This spot is perfect if you're into bold, Korean-inspired street food and like having some room to customize your order. If you're new, try a couple things before locking in your favorite, but trust me, you'll find one.

    I went for the first time to the Overland plaza restaurant and I've been thinking about it ever…read moresince! I love Ramen so of course I had to try ramen noodles in the Szechuan Spicy hot pot with garlic cloves. We used the grill to cook our onions, peppers and more garlic cloves with garlic shrimp, beef bulgogi, short ribs, steak and I tried the beef tongue. I couldn't remember how my grandmother made it but putting it directly on the grill wasn't it... lol! I will try again after looking up a few recipes! The staff there is awesome and very helpful. I went with a friend who K-Pots frequently so she was mainly fixing ours and showing me the ropes and adding my choices on request; basically showing me what and how to prepare. We chose the dinner option during lunch hours to get premium meats. Our server was always coming to make sure we were ok and I wish I could remember her name now. So sorry! I have to say I enjoyed the entire experience; ambience of the lighting, music, table setup, staff, and there was an anime event they were preparing for! It is definitely an experience to be had and I will be going back real soon!

    Food was delicious as always. We only had to wait for a few minutes on a busy Saturday evening…read morewhich was nice. However I will say the service was a little slower than normal. I had to keep flagging down our waiter to change our grill plates. The food came out quickly and really was satisfying. Would definitely recommend.
