Finding great Korean fried chicken wings at a diner is like discovering an autographed Elton John album in a box marked “for free” on the street. But that’s exactly what they’re serving up at Mama’s Diner in Cheltenham. The wood-filled space has plenty of tan booths for groups and counter space along the wall—ideal when the only conversation you want to have is with a plate of chicken and waffles. Your meal can be brought over by the owner, a sweet old lady, or a smiling robot with a red apron painted on it. Either way, it will get to your table within 15 minutes of ordering, and you’ll leave the homey restaurant satisfied—especially if you order anything that involves super crispy chicken.
