Our Story
Mama Cho’s BBQ is a Korean-American eatery and butcher shop that delivers tasty Homestyle Korean BBQ (KBBQ) using quality meats, fresh ingredients, and flavorful marinades. Founded by the Cho family in 2010, Mama Cho’s BBQ is guided by the principle that good food sparks joy and sharing a meal builds community.
On May 30, 2024, a fire destroyed our former home inside Lake Chabot Public Market in Castro Valley, CA and temporarily interrupted our regular restaurant and butcher-shop operations. We are currently rebuilding at our new facility in Hayward, CA which remains under construction and is not yet open to the public. We look forward to welcoming our community back and continuing the Mama Cho’s tradition in our new home!
