We got the dinner for 2 and it came with a bunch of incredible food. The variety and flavor were both phenomenal. It came with fried dumplings, 6 samplings of Korean side dishes, one of which was kimchi, japchae (a stir fry of noodles and vegetables), two bowls of rice, and a platter with 3 meats: marinated beef, chicken, and spicy pork. The kimchi was some of the best I’ve had in a while. I’d like to say which meat was my favorite of the three, but it’s difficult. The beef had a sweet flavor and fell apart in my mouth. The spicy pork had a great level of spice. The chicken was tender and succulent because they used thigh meat. The japchae was possibly the best I’ve had in the US; it was pretty sweet but really good. The staff were helpful and kind. We would definitely eat here again if the opportunity presented itself. I would have added a photo, but we had it halfway destroyed before we even thought to take one.

Got the jjampong and the japchae and both were good (the jjampong came with tons of seafood, felt like great value). Dinner portions were huge, (my photo isn't great but the bowl was like 6-8 inches deep as well, my leftovers filled up a quart). Banchan tasted like it was made in house also. Place is very hole in the wall but cute news clippings/photos on display.

Such good teriyaki chicken and fried rice! Pricey, but I had leftovers so may be worth it if you look at it that way. The service was pretty quick and they brought the food out to you. It was a very nice experience overall even though it may not look like much on the inside.

I had my favorite soup at Mama Kim's, sundubu jjigae. It was absolute perfection. The local is no frills but the staff is very nice and the food is served fast. I cannot wait to return to Charleston to eat here again.

Had a great time at Mama Kim’s. After spending 3 years in Korea I know good Korea food when I taste it! If you are looking for authentic Korean dishes I definitely recommend Mama Kim’s!

We came here for dinner one night while on our honeymoon. The food was phenomenal and so was the service! The lady at the register gave us a pancake with some filling along with a handmade sign congratulating us which was very unexpected but very delicious!

I love this place! I always seem to end up downtown on a Monday (they are closed Monday’s) but when I do come and they are open, they are my first choice. I always get the ginger salad. The dressing is so good and I always get bibimbap.
