Mothers Korean Grill

My family and I decided to finally try this place after driving past it the last year or so. We've had so many Korean restaurants in the past 9 years in which a lot of them tend to cross over with each other and we forget which restaurant we've tried and not. More often than not, I find myself referring to my Excel document to see what restaurants we've tried and which are still pending a family experience. While we were sitting at our table, we realized that this location used to be another Korean BBQ that we tried back in 2014-2015 timeframe, which took us back a little and realized how often restaurants come and go in this city. Regardless, our experience at 888 Korean BBQ was phenomenal and we're hoping that they're here to stay for a very long time. We ended up ordering the "B menu" for each of us, which was plenty enough of meat and side selections. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take a photo of everything we ate because I was starving and had to choose whether to be the "head chef" or "photographer" for the evening so obviously, I was the cook. The quality of meat cuts were very flavorful and tender. The one dish I was surprised on was the Salmon Poke. I'm typically an Ahi Tuna Poke kind of guy so this was a shock to me. That Salmon Poke was awesome and was great with the meats and rice! The service and environment were outstanding! Whereas everyone working there, along with the music/music videos, contributed to the overall pleasurable experience, our main server, Jovin provided exceptional service to our table - I definitely appreciate the fast and efficient service! The minor things I wasn't a fan of are the soft tofu soup and the cooking surface. I expected a thicker consistency in the soup base; however, even if the soup base wasn't what I expected, the flavor and spice level were great! Also, the cooking surface was uneven, majority (~65% of the cooking surface), was at the center of the griddle. I also like to create a nice char to my Kalbi and Bulgogi, which was challenging with those types of surface tops. Regardless, it (and I) still cooked our food evenly which was the ultimate goal. I did like the idea of providing each table with a surface cleaning tool versus having to constantly change out the surface top. Overall, we loved it here! I highly recommend this restaurant to all locals and visitors. If you're visiting, you definitely want to put aside some time and eat here! The prices are very reasonable/affordable for this type of quality food.

I had a great experience here. The atmosphere was nice, music was not too loud. I enjoyed the all you can eat Prime deal and tried shrimp, snow crab, cheese wontons, filet mignon, sweet onion, garlic prime flat iron, and zucchini If you need seasonings or soy sauce, just ask, and they will provide. You get two meats at a time and have to finish most of it before asking for another serving. The meat was fresh and, of course, cooked to my liking. I would come back for sure.

Attentive staff, delicious food, and great music. What’s not to love about this place? We went with option B and were very satisfied with our choice.

My goodness, what a fantastic establishment! High quality food, great atmosphere, and excellent customer service. It is a must-try! Shout out to our server Bridget, who was very friendly and a delight to be around. Significantly improved our dining experience. Happy Holidays to you all and thank you for a lovely time!

Great place with a great selection of proteins. Highly recommend the Option C package with the Kobe steaks.
