I have come across this restaurant, My Mom’s Kitchen, a few times, but haven’t had the opportunity to try it until very recently for a celebration. This restaurant is located in an obscure location within Glen Waverley’s Century City Walk past Yokohama Teppenyaki and where Pancake Parlour used to be located.

| Cost | $48.50 for adults (there is a 1.5% credit card surcharge and -5% discount for cash) |
| Location | Shop 4/285-287 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley VIC 3150 |

We reserved on the day for a 5:45 pm session and was given until 7:45 pm to cook and eat anything that was made available. Any drinks outside of water was extra and not included in the price. Although we were only provided one canister of water at the start, you can help yourself to more water from a fridge in the middle of the restaurant.

My experience
I enjoyed the whole experience. I thought the price was reasonable and the selection was above-average. I particularly enjoyed the wagyu sirloin and their marinated pork ribs. The bonus was having access to a lot of excellent Korean dishes.
There seems to be a decent amount of food to choose from. I enjoyed the various meat options. I thought most of the fried food, salads and bain-marie options were really good. I enjoyed their seaweed salad and soup a lot, and thought their japchae and sweet chili fried chicken were worth it.
At the table you can control the heat of the hot plate to suit your needs. It seems most of the heat is in the middle, while the sides didn’t get much heat at all.
There isn’t much on the table other than salt and pepper shakers and tissues. If you need cutlery you have to go to the meat fridge and pick it up yourself.
By around 1 hour into our session, we were already full. We ended up enjoying some watermelon and orange, and then some ice-cream and various flavours of choco-pies.
