Oh Mama! Kitchen - La Mirada, California

Christine S.

This is a to-go only restaurant with a big selection of Korean side dishes, kimbap, some frozen items (dumplings), rice cake, and even fried chicken. The fried chicken is made-to-order, which can take ~15m so I would recommend calling in advance. The chicken was a pleasant surprise! Really good flavor and lightly fried.
We purchased 5-6 side dishes -- a variety of kimchi (green onion kimchi, cucumber kimchi), namul, stir fried fish cake, and dried squid. All were really good! It's priced a bit higher than what you can get at the grocery store, but worth it imo.
We also tried 2 different kimbaps, which were very good. and rice cakes too!
Overall a great spot to check out if you need some dishes to get you through the week. or a quick snack!

This Korean restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The service was exceptionally warm and friendly, and the staff made great recommendations based on my preferences. The food was incredibly flavorful, especially the kimchi pancakes and the bibimbap. Each dish had a unique twist, making every bite memorable. The ambiance was perfect for a dinner out; the minimalist design with touches of Korean culture created a relaxing yet vibrant environment. A fantastic place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

Small place. Not dine in. A store to buy take out side dishes and kimbap rolls.

Maybe 8 bucks each.

Several kimbap options. Displayed nicely. Side dishes looked really good didnt get any though to confirm.

Shared parking out front.
No bathroom.

Looked popular. Lots of customers.

This place is the epitome of the Korean food aesthetic, and we usually get their sushi, their Bulgogi Kimbap roll. It is delicious and beautifully executed. This is a great spot to get food to go, it's not a sit-down restaurant. The services friendly, and it's very much quality food and overall healthy.

or four eemos (aunties) eating lunch behind the counter. Yes, H-Mart has cheaper gimbop, but the gimbop here is made on site, fresh, and with love. My guess is the H-Mart's are made in some factory. The banchan (side dishes) looked amazing as well - will get some next time. Great service by the owners and cute set up.

Support small businesses!

🇰🇷 SOUTH KOREA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - It usually has a couple customers coming and going, but trips here are quick and painless, except maybe for your bank account as you keep adding boxes from each fridge to your order. The kimbap seems to have the place of most prominence in the small shop, what is left for the day is displayed right as you walk in. If you come after the lunch rush, the shelf is likely to look a bit bare, but make sure to take at least one of these home as it is somewhat of a specialty of the shop.

My go to everytime I visit my mom in Buena Park!! Fried chicken and Tteok-bokki are also VERY good!! I love the kimchi, cucumber kimchi, raw marinate crab, and pretty much the whole store. Customer service is always excellent!! The best and most wonderful family owned Banchan place. ❤️

The fish cake at the restaurant was perfectly seasoned, with a delightful balance of flavors and a crispy texture. A must-try dish for seafood lovers
