Big Mama Korean Restaurant




My ex-colleagues and I decided to try Big Mama korean food after reading several positive reviews on the internet. I had to book several days in advance as it is the eve of PH and luckily mange to book a table. It is really full house and we still have to wait for a while for the patrons occupying our table to finish their meal.

Side Dishes
Big Mama serve a total of 6 refillable side dishes, and from the top left are water chestnut cake (??, found the name online on Daniel Food Diary), ikan bilis, spinach, vermicelli, kimchi, and lotus root. The side dishes are really nice, especially the water chestnut cake and the lotus root.

Dakgalbi (닭갈비) with Fried Rice
We order 2 servings of Dakgalbi (pan fried seasoning chicken with vegetables, rice cake, sweet potato and spicy sauce) as there is a minimum order of 2 servings for this dish. This is also one of their recommendation and for an additional of $3, u can add 1 serving of fried rice. The dakgalbi with fried rice is delicious and we totally enjoy this dish to the max.

Budae Jjigae (부대찌개) or Korean Army Stew
We also order the Budae Jjigae (Korean army stew) as it is one of the authentic korean dishes and this is also one of their new menu. There are sausages, vegetables, kimchi and ramyeon in the Budae Jjigae and this is the first time that I am trying this dish. This is a dish that I will be trying again when I visit Korea.

The service is also quite good, helping us to refill the side dishes and water when it is emptied, and also patiently explaining the dishes for us as it is our first time there. It is important to take note that due to the popularity of Big Mama, it is highly advisable to book for a reservation at least one day in advance. The foods are really awesome in Big Mama and I really look forward to visiting it again to try the other dishes.

Damage: $25 per pax
