Excitingly, for those who want to hang out with friends over Korean cuisine and ice-cold drinks, Big Mama also offers their Korean version of pulutan which are usually finger food or small dishes to go with beer and other alcoholic beverages such as soju and high ball.
Among their pulutan are O-Gam-Tteok featuring rice cake, dry squid, and fried potatoes. They also have sizzling plates of shrimp and squid and the ever favorite Jokbal or pork trotters!
While Big Mama’s meals are rich, flavorful, and hearty to say the least, the restaurant might only seat a few guests, making an intimate dining experience possible with your friends or colleagues.
