Im afraid I have to agree with Max. Mothers is nothing special. It is however a good intro to Korean food for newbies or guests from the midwest. Koreatown (Western Ave or Garden Grove) it aint.

Mr. Max-

Really?! Are your reviews still posted on the LAT site? Finally, someone else who understands!

OK, I now like you. ;-)

Max – give me your best Korean place in town – and don’t say LA. And then let’s do lunch there soon.

I was the Orange County LA Times restaurant critic for 15 years, so what do you think? And I don’t hate Mother’s, not even close. It just isn’t very good, and that’s pa’chan (sp.) to you, fella.

Did Mad Max go to the real Korean BBQ joints in the “Korean Business District” in Garden Grove (just north of Orange County’s famed Little Saigon)? If not, then he need not boast about his trips to SoCal.

And yes, I still have a psychotic love-hate relationship with Orange County and its food. ;-)

But anyway, back to Vegas. If Mother’s is even half as good as the last Korean joint I visited in OC, I’ll be happy. These days, neither can I afford to fly back to the homeland every time I crave good Korean.
