3.5 Stars - ATMOSPHERE Tiny spot in a weird strip mall. The outside looks very corporate. So it was kinda weird to find this restaurant here. The inside is cute and cozy though. I'm assuming there was indoor seating pre-covid, but now it's take-out only. CUSTOMER SERVICE Like most asian restaurants or shops, customer service is subpar. Nobody greeted us or even helped us for that matter. FOOD We got several items. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, so I wanted to try a bunch of stuff. BULGOGI KIMBAP was eh. It needed some type of sauce or something. It was pretty dry. It's saving grace was the picked radish. But, the roll itself was pretty mediocre. CHICKEN WINGS w/ SAUCE: the batter was nice and light and the chicken was cooked well. Some of the wings were soggy, which is not common with Korean wings, so it was a disappointment. But, the flavor of the wings was good. Very tender, juicy, and flavorful wings. CRAB CAKES: Super dry. Again, it would've been nice to have some type of sauce or something. The flavor reminded me of imitation crab salad. Except this one was lightly battered and fried. Not something I'd buy again. PORK PATTY (or something): This was pretty good. Dry, like everything else we had, but flavor was good. POTATO SALAD: I was looking forward to this, but was pretty disappointed. It wasn't horrible, but flavors were pretty one note. I've definitely had better. FISH CAKE: This was okay. Again, I've had better. - OVERALL All in all, I don't think I'd revisit the place. All of the food is pre-packaged except the wings, so it's like shopping at H-Mart or something. Sorta weird. read more

This place... if I didn't live 45 min away I would be here everyday. It's AMAZING!! Between 2 people I ordered 4 items, and we could finish it, absolutely stuffed. Everything we had was delicious, we ordered the kimbap, scallion pancakes, ddukkbokki, and a sushi roll. We ended up fighting over the rice cakes because of how good they were... perfect amount of spice and sweet! Definitely will be back! read more

Oh Mama Kitchen - Lunch! And kimchi for home too - Korean Near Me - La Mirada, California

This place is great- very easy pick up. Just walk in and pick a few rolls to try. We got the steak rolls, spam rolls, and the crab cakes. What i really liked though was the beef and veggies soup they had, it was kinda pricey ($10), but the flavor was really good. My toddler, who doesn't really like veggies, kept asking for the veggies. Will come back when I'm in the area. read more

Oh mama!! This place is amazing!!! Let's talk about the friendly customer service.. she explained the menu and all the popular dishes. There was so many choices, I didn't know what to get. I mean they got homemade mochi, japchae (that's sooooo good), and different side dishes. Everything is fresh and delicious!! I mean everything was just amazing!! FYI they make everything fresh and you can tell by the way it taste. If I didn't live 100 miles away, I would've bought everything lol I'm definitely coming back to try everything. This place is definitely 5 stars restaurant but reasonably price. If you are in the area, this is A MUST TRY!! Oh my gosh you won't be disappointed. The food is good and you'll leave happy. 5 stars for the food and 5 stars for the service. Gosh I wish it I have the stomach to try everything. So worth it guys!! Happy Eating read more

Oh Mama Kitchen is incredible! I've tried almost everything on their menu at this point, and everything is fantastic. Their food is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and obviously made with love. This place is the gold standard of homemade Korean food (but better than any homemade food you'll ever have). You really can't go wrong here, but I highly recommend you try their soy garlic fried chicken. It's super crispy and moist, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. They also have a huge selection of banchans (Korean side dishes) that you'll rarely see at typical Korean restaurants. From glass noodles to marinaded crab and stir-fried squid, you can try so many amazing dishes! Finally, their selection of kimbaps is truly unique. No matter which type you get, they are beautiful and filled to perfection. I personally love their fishcake and burdock roll. So yummy! read more

Have to try! Great tasting 5* food that also looks so good to serve guests! Signage (as of 4/11/21) The whole plaza is frustratingly waiting for their new individual signages.

This place is outrageously overpriced for very average food. The prices do not reflect the quality and portions of the food. Seems like people come here for convenience. Also the cashier girl is very unpleasant, bordering on being rude. Not returning or recommending this place. read more

They have a large selection of kimbap to choose from and the service is amazing! Everyone there is really friendly :)

Righteous fried chicken. The chicken wings (garlic soy brushed on, or no sauce per preference, half half in my case) on their own may be some of the best fried bird I've had anywhere. They even prepped the togo order with the box and bag open so as to not soggyfy the product, a very nice touch that I really appreciated. The ddukboki (sticky rice cakes, fish cake, and boiled egg drowned in gochujang lava sauce) is spicy excellence. Those two are the products I'd stick to - I peeked around and found the rest of the line up to be priced slightly higher than your typical Korean market deli, hence the missing star. Although this place may be marketed as a banchanria (I just made this 'word' up) what I find as being the core strength of this place is the execution of classic, Korean street foods, vis a vis the aforementioned goodies. For banchan ( the little, pickled tapas looking things you get at K bbq) your best bet is Hanam one market located about a mile south of this excellent fried chicken joint. Some of the very best fried chicken you will ever encounter. make sure to pick yourself some soon. 4.5 stars. read more

pros: - delicious food! - loved their fried wings, some of the best korean fried wings I've had with lots of flavor and super filling - cheaper prices especially the ban chan cons: - only to-go but definitely would come back for a quick meal read more

Stopped by here and picked up some premade kimbap for dinner! Its a cute little Korean owned mom and pop shop with a bunch of premade side dishes and kimchi's in the fridge. They also have prepacked drinks as well as uncooked frozen dumplings. I only picked up the kimbap and personally I wasn't a huge fan of it because I don't like shiso leaf in my kimbap. I do want to come back and try their wings and the side dishes. It is located in a plaza but it's a little hard to find because non of the shops here have store signs. read more

Oh Mama Kitchen - Regular kimbap - Korean Near Me - La Mirada, California

This restaurant replaced one of my favorite restaurants ever (Kwik Pick sandwich shop). It opened early 2018, and I had been meaning to try it sooner than later. Ian and I finally stopped by in July for the first time. Ambiance: Restaurant has a modern feel to it compared to Kwik Pick. Parking is abundant at this small plaza. Seating is limited for larger groups. Photos are with the review. Service: 5 stars for personality of the owner (Ma) and the staff who helped us. They were soft spoken, polite, and attentive to our needs. Top marks for customer service! (+2) Food: I ordered Spicy rice cake, fish cake soup and fried chicken. Their menu is limited with fried chicken being their main item. Their wings were lightly breaded, crispy outside and moist inside. They were perfect the way they were for Korean Fried Chicken (The other KFC according Buena Park's own Richard L.). Spicy rice cake had a nice kick to it. Distance wise, this is the closest restaurant to our house, so we will be repeat patrons. I recommend trying out this Mom and pop restaurant for their wings and service! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Ok I'm gonna be real here, I honestly thought to myself "how good can this place be?" BOY, OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE IVE BEEN MISSING OOOOUT. This place is aaaaaaamazing. We came 30 mins prior to closing so the picking were a little slim but we ended up with 2 k-rolls and the fried soy garlic wings. The. Soy. Garlic. Wings. Amazing. Just amazing. The wings are lightly battered and it's soooo crispy and the sauce. There are no words to describe how good the sauce is. I've had soy garlic at a looooot of places but this place may be like #1 spot for me. The rolls are tightly rolled, there swirl game is real. It has great texture and everything is seasoned nicely. I'll definitely come back and try everything this store has to offer read more

I think I found my new favorite Korean Fried Chicken place. We came here because my fiancé wanted their crab cakes, and luckily for me, everything they have including the side dishes are Korean dishes that I love. We got the crab cakes, half and half 12 piece fried chicken, and mung bean pancakes (). All were so delicious! Crab Cakes: they're made with the imitation crab meat that you get in kimbap and such. The crab cakes were packed full of the meat, just the right texture and the perfect amount of saltiness. There were 5 pieces in the package, so they're perfect as an appetizer, side dish with rice, or a snack to share (or not if that's how you roll). Half & Half Korean Fried Chicken: Half are garlic soy sauce and half are original. The chicken is so good because it's so crispy and crunchy, but the meat is so tender and juicy. (I could legit lick the bones super clean) Also, they don't do the move where a few of the pieces are randomly tiny. They're all a good size that come with great taste and texture. They don't drench the chicken in the sauce like other places, and it works because it keeps the chicken outside layer crunchy and crispy. You don't miss out in the garlic soy taste either. The original is so good too because the frying batter itself is salted. Mung Bean Pancakes: Bought these to take home to my mama, since she loves mung bean pancakes and she gobbled them all up. All four of them 0.0 to be fair, I did have half of one to taste it. Usually, I'm not a fan of mung bean pancakes because some places don't grind the mung bean enough and it tastes gritty (probably healthier), but this place was delicious. Packed with flavor, great texture, and a generous size. They sell a bunch of side dishes, so if I lived closer, I would probably become a regular. Parking is simple. The signs were missing when we went so the plaza must be going through something. Thankfully, we looked up pictures on Yelp for the exterior and knew where to go. read more

This place was my friends & I'a go to during graduate school for when we were craving Korean food! The food items are delicious, fresh, and made in house! Their kimbap was the first place I've ever tried kimbap from and it's still my favorite! I've also purchased some of the items they have in their refrigerators such as seaweed salad, fish cake, and kimchi... all of which were delicious! Now that I've graduated I don't come here as much but I find myself craving it time to time. I definitely need to come back soon and I recommend this place to anyone thinking about trying it. read more

Yay glad we found this cute spot via yelp:) Wanted to get some diff varieties of kimbap for a small outdoor family gathering and did a pretty deep yelp search and decided on oh mama kitchen due to the location and good reviews! And also because I was looking for some vegan/veg options. The vegan kimbap had perilla leaf, radish, burdock and avo, so fresh and delicious! My fam said the old fashioned original kimbap and Cali rolls were good too. I called in the order and they had it ready in about 20 min, fresh! Love that they have a ton of fresh seeming banchan or side dishes ready to go, I picked up some jjangachi which is soy pickled cucumbers/jalepenos which are delicious, vegetable pancakes, and a container of rice punch. Everything was delicious and perfect for our little (socially distant!) gathering. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Just had my second visit to this place and I know it won't be my last. My friend and I found out about this place through tiktok, and we went to try it out ASAP. If you are a fan of Korean food and would like to explore your palette on other flavors of the cuisine, you're gonna love this place. There are TONS of Korean-side dishes to chose from! And they have a wonderful selection of ready-to-eat stews and kimbap. The first time I went I got the seasoned octopus (one of my favorite banchans) and the cucumber kimchi that I wanted to try out of curiosity. And because I couldn't resist, I also got their tteokbbokki. The octopus was super yummy, not over-powering on the saltiness and it tasted fresh! The cucumber kimchi was so delicious and refreshing, and now it's one of my favorite dishes to grab from there. The tteokbbokki was super flavorful! The rice cakes weren't overcooked or undercooked, having the perfect amount of chewiness. When I came a second time (which was this week) I got the cucumber kimchi again (I was craving it soooo bad), and the tteokbbokki (which I re-heated up back home and put mozzarella cheese on because I'm a weeny with spice and also i love cheese tteokbbokki). However I also got their kimchi, their seasoned dried squid, the purple cabbage and seaweed. The seasoned dried squid is really good, sweet and spicy and flavorful. The kimchi is awesome; not overly vinegary or having that odd chemical taste some of the store-brand kimchis have. It is GOOD. I have yet to try the purple cabbage and the seaweed, but I have no doubt i'll be disappointed in them. You can tell the food here is made with love. Time and care can be tasted in these dishes. It's a great place for people who want to start out with Korean food, and great for Korean food lovers. It's worth the drive it takes me to get there! read more

As first timers, we weren't disappointed & will definitely be coming back!!! We tried the spam & California roll kimbap, scallion pancake & garlic chicken wings. Everything was SO tasty, perfectly flavorful but not overly salty, and still had a homemade taste that made it even MORE delicious. Not only that, but the staff was friendly & helpful, and went above & beyond. We were waiting in the car (due to COVID) while our chicken was being made, and they brought out some rice cakes for us on the house. So kind!!!! This is a small business that really deserves the 5 star rating and they have earned new loyal customers out of my husband & me! Thank you oh mama!!!! read more

Over priced!!! I went there yesterday and happy to find this place. But it's too much over priced. Especially the yakgwa- two dollars per one each??!! - taste was not good. The japchae is too oily. Every banchan that I bought was too salty and over priced for its quality. The store is clean so I give two star, not one. read more

Been coming here since college and they're still my favorite spot for Korean fried chicken! Amazingly crispy, light sauce but it's just enough! I wanted to write a review because I finally tried their seasoned raw crabs and wow, I think it's better than the one in K-town in my opinion! Lightly sweet with a kick of spice and the meat was delicious, there were about 8-10 crabs in there too. Definitely good for 3-4 people! read more

This place is ok but very pricey for average food. I've tried their Tuna kimbap and 2 types of fried chicken. They only give you 1 roll of kimbap for $9! You can get 2 rolls for $7 in Ktown or just make your own. Theirs was nothing special. Also the fried chicken tastes very homemade. Go to BBQ Chicken for tastier chicken for the same price I think. read more

A near 5-star experience. Tucked in a non descript office/strip mall, off Beach Blvd and Rosecrans, behind Polly's Pie is this tiny Korean restaurant. It's better to call ahead and take the food to go, as there's only 4 tables to accommodate customers. I'm on a quest to compare various KFC's (Korean Fried Chicken) places in the area. I had Chicken University, and loved it, but wished the chicken wings were a tad larger. No worries here!! The chicken wings were meaty and big. CU charged $10.99 for 8 pieces (wing parts, not the whole wing) with daikon and cabbage salad, while Oh Mama charges $12.99 for 12 pieces but only daikon radish. In the whole picture, Oh Mama was worth not having cole slaw. So why a near 5 star?? The menu. While waiting for my food, the cashier was bringing out a krab omlette patty, and I pointed to it asking what it was. She told me, and when I looked on the menu, she replied it wasn't on it. Sooooo I guess unless you know they can make it, the menu is not complete. It's truly a "secret menu" item. The kitchen is tiny, so I would call it in or go online. The downside of online is they don't give you a confirmation, so you just assume they got it. Plenty of parking, and hours are limited read more

Nice location. Close to my house. Glad we don't have to drive to h mart for the similar type of food anymore. Parking is easy Good food. Very fresh. The rolls and the fried chicken are nicely made. Also try the fish cake soup, it's quite delicious. Kimbop rice taste very freshly made, not soggy like some of the market made. The chicken could have a little more flavor. The plain one is nicely fried and crunchy. The one with the sauce is not as flavorful as I would like. Wish they would have the sweet and sour hot sauce or the flavorful garlic sauce. I would still recommend this place for its freshness and overall quality of the food. read more

Service girl was awful. First, they have the sushi in prepackaged containers and they are sitting on the shelf at room temperature. My first time there and the girl at the counter was rude when I asked questions. Sounded like she didn't want to be bothered. Still, I grabbed some items. I grabbed 2 California rolls that were bigger than average and came with one soy packet each. As I was getting ready to pay I kindly asked for 5 more soy sauce packets and she said "we don't do that". Needless to say, I took my business somewhere else. read more

I've been on Gimbap binge for the last couple months. I've never really appreciated it before, but now I know. For lunch today I grabbed a couple Gimbap and Gyejjang with my little brother. Both of the dishes were really good and it had both of us going "Oh, Mama!" I understood why they picked that very apt name for this little spot which is next to a Korean bookstore. P.S. For those of you hate the yellow pickled radish who poke it out with a chopstick. They use a in-house white radish that is milder but still provides the same pickled flavor I believe that is needed in a Gimbap. They provide gloves and hand sanitizer during this pandemic, so don't be afraid to go in. read more
