I passed by this place a few times and it was just not registering in my mind that I am actually seeing Korean BBQ right by the 710 freeway and Alondra Blvd., in Compton... So one day, I decided to stop in and give it a go. The owner is the sweetest lady you can ever meet. She is no nonsense in her business but when you order, she 'll tell you all about her food and how she prepares it and how her rice is washed 3 times and she uses a different low starch rice and all kimchi is made in house by herself with her family recipe and not store bought and so on and so on.

This place deserves to stay open! They serve some of the best food in Compton. Mama is truly an angel; her food is absolutely amazing! Everything is delicious—the soup, kimchi, BBQ ribs, rice—it's all fantastic. I have a special memory from two years ago when my husband and I were completely exhausted. Our son, who was just a year and a half old, was battling measles and respiratory infections. We decided to get food from here as we were so worn out and worried that our baby might end up back in the hospital. Out of nowhere, Mama came outside while I was carrying my son near the car.

I've been coming to mama for the past 4 years. Her food is made with love and are very filling. I come here almost once a week and I've had about everything on the menu and I must say she never fails to please me with the amount she gives to how she makes you feel once you step in her restaurant. It'll be a very sad day once she closes her doors. Everyone better come try her food before she cannot anymore
Simply speaking, this food is classic Korean cooked fresh with quality ingredients. Cook/owner prepares balanced meals with pride and passion with an elevated flavor profile. The beef short ribs are generous and incredibly tender. The banchan kimchee and other sides are made in house. I am looking forward to returning soon. No frills, as it 's all about the food!!

Does anyone know what happened to Sunny??? My family has been going to this restaurant for years, and this woman and her establishment were truly special to Compton. I really hope she is thriving somewhere else.
The food is fantastic and always accompanied by a warm smile. Sunny truly makes you feel as though you're just dropping by her kitchen to enjoy a home-cooked meal straight from her oven.
