Seoul Mama Inc.

Seoul Mama serves Korean home cooking in Bloomington, drawing on recipes owner and chef Yongae Lee developed after leaving Seoul in 1998 to cook for her family in Iowa. The restaurant opened in January 2019 as the first Korean restaurant in the greater Bloomington-Normal area in over 30 years.

The dining room is open for indoor meals, and takeout is available for carry-out orders, which can be placed online. Curbside pickup is not offered, so guests need to come inside to collect their food. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday, closed Mondays, and is located on Veterans Parkway.
