text: Mother's Korean Grill is in the heart of the Ranch 99 Chinatown mall on Spring Mountain near Valley View, right behind the \"Journey West\" golden statue, on the first floor. \n\nIt is clean, modern, with esthetically pleasing decor of charcoal gray flagstone tile floors, elegant color combinations of black, natural tones and red accents, and nice touches throughout that give it a very polished look rather than your Ma and Pa dive.  \n\nThe service was very prompt and we were checked on constantly by several waitresses. The booths have high quality stainless steel and clean hood fans and clean cast iron grills for the Korean BBQ. \n\nThe restaurant has been in business for about 3 years. \n\nFirst you are offered a large platter of salad, with mixed greens chopped with a sesame dressing. Then 8 banchan dishes come out, plus the radish soup and rice. They also offer the garlic slices, hot green chili pepper slices and the brown soy flavored paste.\n\nThe Bulgogi was good, well marinated and served with pieces of yellow and green onions, and a lot of meat, thinly sliced.\n\nThe Dolsot Bi Bim Bop was served on a large heated clay platter rather than the small clay bowl many places use. It had the usually veggie combinations and rice, with some beef, but no egg. Maybe they forgot, as the picture on the menu shows an egg!\n\nThe prices are a litle expensive, for the decor and the fact this isn't LA , SF or the OC, where competition keeps the prices lower. The Bulgogi was $22 and the Dolsot Bi Bim Bop was $16 for dinner. \n\nYou pay more for the ambiance, but this is a good place and I had a good experience. I paid as much a half a block away and the service was slow and grumpy, and the ambiance wasn't as nice.
