Big Mama ★★★ $$

Agedashi Tofu @ $7.5 AUD

I've not been to this place for quite some time because the last time I came, the food quality dropped. Wanted to give it a try again to see if there is any improvement.

Came with my sisters' friends. Enjoyed quality time with them and good to know that my sister has good friends who she can rely on.
Side Dishes
Different varieties of side dishes. Not the usual side dishes you get from a Korean restaurant. On the left was vegetable marinated with vinegar and hints of chili. In the middle was Fried Calamaris. On the far right was pickled vegetable. They always change their side dishes.
KimChi Ji Ge @ $15 AUD
Kimchi and Tofu in Spicy Soup with Pork in hot pot. Soup was decent and spiciness level was just nice.
Chili Chicken Karaage @ $14.80 AUD
Chicken marinated in a tangy mix of soy sauce and garlic then deep-fired. Served with Bigmama's special sweet chili Karaage sauce and sprinkled with Sesame seeds. The crispy layer had a slight chewy consistency to it. As for the special sauce, it had a hint of cinnamon to it.
Agedashi Tofu @ $7.5 AUD
A must try dish!!! Deep-fried Tofu with Tsuyu sauce. The Bonito Flakes dancing on top of the Tofu made the dish looked appetizing and was also fragrant. Every bite of the Tofu was complemented by the delicious Tsuyu Sauce.
Korean BBQ Pork @ $15
Korean style marinated Spicy BBQ Pork on sizzling hot pot. Portion was much smaller compared to last time,  but taste was definitely better. Pork was well marinated and great to serve with rice while it was sizzling hot. I would highly recommend this dish. 

Verdict (Highest-10)
Food: 8 (Great Korean and Japanese food)
Service: 7 (Food was fast and staffs were friendly)
Ambiance: 6 (Simple)
Overall: 8 (Would definitely come back again)

Price: Under $15 AUD per main
