Mama's Kitchen excels at Korean fried chicken - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation
"Mama’s Kitchen is easily the best thing Factoria’s busiest stretch has going for it. The restaurant keeps things simple, but it works for any kind of hangout fueled by fabulous Korean dishes. You can have a casual meal with bibimbap and sikhye. Or pass plates of fried chicken at the communal table to strangers who caught a glimpse of that golden mountain coming out of the kitchen. Even solo lunches feel special perched at the window counter, slurping japchae while watching the chaos of the parking lot unfold like a live-action drama. With a big menu, spend a leisurely lunch here and be back in time for dinner to cover it all. Food Rundown Katsu Mayo Over Rice The creamy mayo is rich and sweet without totally taking over the dish. And while the katsu itself is a little over-fried, it’s still delicious—and that sauce makes up for everything. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Fried Chicken Wings Easily a top contender for best fried chicken on the Eastside. Thick, cornflake-like breading is extra crunchy, and the meat underneath stays juicy. Even with lots of sauce options, the best move is to keep it simple. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Japchae Bouncy sweet potato noodles have a satisfying chew and a generous mix of sautéed vegetables. The sauce is sweet and umami in all the right places, and spiked with just enough white pepper to give it a subtle kick that lingers. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Gyoza No need to prioritize ordering these forgettable dumplings unless you’re really craving one. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley" - Kayla Sager-Riley
