Reviews For Mama’s Rice Bowl

Great spot for lunch in Burnaby, super delicious every time. Vegetables taste fresh and the rice is cooked to perfection. I recommend sizing up every time, it's worth it. The tofu rice bowl with avocado is a great option for vegans, just ask for spicy sauce instead of the regular creamy sauce. Really affordable and great value. I've only done take out here, so I can't speak to the atmosphere, but when we ordered for a large group they were really accommodating with all requests. I would caution sometimes their hours are irregular and they cancel online orders last minute.

Ordered takeout from Mama’s Rice Bowl for the office, and it was a hit! The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived perfectly packed. Every dish had great portions, and you could tell they use quality ingredients. The flavors were well-balanced, and everything tasted homemade with a comforting touch. Everyone in the office loved their meals, and we’ll definitely be ordering again. If you’re looking for delicious, well-made rice bowls in Burnaby, this place is a must-try! Highly recommend for takeout, whether for a quick meal or a group order.

The food, absolutely fantastic. It was so good in fact, that I forgot to take a photo until I was half done eating it. As for the service, also excellent. The owner, a kind old man, will occasionally come out of the kitchen to clean up and chat with the customers. It's a lovey interaction. The parking here, as some have mentioned, could be difficult since the lot isn't very clear as for who can park where without being ticketed. Lastly, the price is just great. Whether you're a gym guy or just your average Joe, this place has definitely got you covered on protein and it's easy to track the macros for their food. They also have daily specials, so be sure to look out for that. 10/10 would recommend, will come back next time.

This place is a hidden gem! Mama’s Rice Bowl might look like a little hole in the wall, but the food is insanely good. Huge portions, super fair prices, and everything is packed with flavor. Definitely worth checking out if you’re hungry and want something delicious.

Mama's Rice Bowl is truly THE hidden gem hidden in Burnaby. They have the most delicious Korean rice bowls filled to the top with amazing toppings, sauces, and meats at a super affordable price. The owners are so kind as well as their employees, and they all work so hard to bring food to your bellies as fast as they can. Recently, I've had to place a huge order for the office and chose this place to buy lunch from. They were very accommodating with everyone's dietary modifications and got the order done within 20 minutes or so. Although they did a fantastic job, I felt super bad for ordering so much from them. When I got there, they were just finishing up my order. You could immediately tell that they were HUSTLING their feet off. Unfortunately, there were a couple customers with 0 patience nagging at them for their food that they ordered less than 5 minutes ago. Like...chill out buddy. Though they were met with rudeness and impatience, they kept their smiles on and were still so kind to those who honestly just didn't deserve it. Support local. You won't be disappointed coming here.
