    The brisket, beef steak, and beef chop steak were phenomenal and definitely the stars of the meal. Those cuts were really well done. The pickled radish was amazing, but the thin radish wrap didn't have that tangy pickled taste at all, which was a little disappointing. The kimchi was average -- I've had much more delicious versions elsewhere. The iced green tea also tasted very watered down -- the color in my cup was practically clear with only the slightest tint of green if you looked carefully, which says a lot. Overall, a pretty average experience with some standout meats and great banchan variety, but the service and a few details could definitely be improved.

    They have 3 different prices. We went for the most basic AYCE meal...the regular menu. It's about $35 per person. I'm sorry this place is just mediocre because the selection of meat in the regular menu is ok not much options. The brisket is brought out frozen. The bulgogi beef and chicken were pretty good. My complaint is the grill keeps sliding out and the table is too small to fit any plates on. Service was pretty good. I guess I have it good at Sonu Korean bbq in Oceanside because for the same price I get way more options like salmon and shrimp. Their side dishes are bigger and better.

    Quick wait time and comfortable seating. I love my corner table all the way to the back! Background music keeps the ambiance alive for a casual ambiance and atmosphere. The side orders were unlimited and came fast. The server was prompt. Meat was served fast as well. It was bland so you have to season - you may add a pinch of salt, oil , or the hot sauce to flavor. Overall a good experience. For $34 per person, it's reasonable for the regular eat all you can with unlimited sides! The exhaust fans work amazing, we didn't get teary eyed while eating:) Stepped out happy! Check them out when in Temecula!

    I went to 2N1 KBBQ in Temecula with my friends. It wasn't busy, so we were able to get seated right away while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. We wanted to get started on ordering and cooking so they could eat as soon as they got there. Unfortunately, our grill ran into some issues and wasn't able to keep a fire going. The server called for manager assistance to fix it. It did take a little time, but since we were still waiting on our group, it wasn't a huge deal. Once it was resolved, everything moved smoothly. We ordered brisket and a few other items, and the meats were pretty standard but still enjoyable. Nothing super standout, but solid for a KBBQ spot. The soju bombs were reasonably priced, and we ended up getting three bottles of soju, which made the experience more fun for the group. Overall, the restaurant felt like your typical KBBQ spot--casual, lively, and easy to enjoy with friends. What really stood out to me was the pricing. Compared to what I'm used to in the Bay Area, everything here felt significantly more affordable for the same kind of experience. Service was attentive throughout, especially with checking in after the grill issue, which I appreciated. Because of the value and decent quality, I would come back again, especially if I'm in the area and craving KBBQ without Bay Area prices.

    This is my first Korean bbq experience and it was great. I never cared to try it because I really did not care to cook my own food. We were a party of 3 and came here on a Sunday afternoon. It's not too far from the AMC theatres. There's a lot of parking and the restaurant is towards the back of the mall. It was pretty busy so we signed up on the wait list and waited maybe less than 10 mins. Our server was Jocelyn. She was very attentive, thorough, helpful and answered all my questions. This being my first time, I had a ton of questions. We all did the $34 pp lunch with unlimited sides. We were able to order 4 meats at the most every time. All of them were good. Bulgogi, beef/pork belly, Hawaiian beef, beef brisket. There's a robot that goes around with meats too but I did not see how that worked. It never stopped over to us, which was ok because I would not have known what to do. Jocelyn made sure we were always ok. She was kind and had great recommendations. She was always on top of switching out grills. All of these things helped me get through my rookie experience. The food was amazing, portions were huge, and pricing was great. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my first time. Cooking the food was well worth it! I will definitely be doing it again!

    First off the service was completely TERRIBLE!!!!!! We literally waited 15 minutes from being seated down and didn't even get greeted or anything and we had to flag down someone and ask can we order?! The next thing that we did not like was literally getting three different orders that we didn't even order and they kept messing up and bringing us different dishes that we weren't even ordering, which is seriously ridiculous!! oh and I forgot that I ordered brisket sauce and the lady didn't even come back and give me the brisket sauce and we ordered another plate of brisket and it didn't even come!!!! I feel like the service was so disorganized and everyone was just running off with their heads cut off and all of the workers here they really didn't have great customer service!!! If I would, I would be able to just rate it a .5 not even a one star it doesn't even deserve that We will never come back here again. It is not worth our time and definitely don't come back here.!!!!!!! THE WORST SERVICE!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE UR TIME HERE! And of course, the bathroom is absolutely disgusting! Like no one literally cleans it or something. It's absolutely ridiculous.

    Pheew! We were stuffed after three rounds of beef, pork, soju, and banchons. The service is great! They are very friendly and not reserved at all. We were a party of four but we're able to get a table easily as we arrived before 6pm. It got packed afterwards though. They have three meat options available standard, premium A, or B. Tip: it gets insanely smoky, because there are hoods but they are useless. Wear clothes that you don't plan on wearing the rest of the evening. Anyway, the tables are spacious and spread out apart from other tables. Again, the service was great and food was delicious. Enjoy!

    I've been to this place quite a few times since they've opened. I was here for their soft opening (2024 I think,) and let me say they've come a long way since opening! Their quality of meat has gone up and they've dialed in the flavors. Also, I noticed quite a bit more options in the sides menu which was a nice surprise. Everything is stupid expensive and this is no different but if you come hungry and pace yourself you can get your bang for your buck! They give you 2 hours total from the time you sit. We never make it more than an hour on a good day lol Service was ehhhh but the food came out quickly and they were super helpful and accommodating with bringing out a birthday cake we brought ourselves

    Tucked into the shopping center in Temecula, this Korean BBQ is well and through with a nice open layout, front entrance access and plenty of parking in nearby parking lots among the rest of the shopping stores here. It was our first time trying out the KBBQ here and the selection for the regular on a weekend was pretty good. There are plenty of tables and booths alike. I didn't completely count but most tables can seat up to 4 chairs. All of the grills are at each table in the middle and you can't just move tables together if you have a big party. We came in with a party to three so seating was just less than 5 minutes while we saw a party of 8 was waiting before we got there and still saw them waiting after we got half way through our food. The choice selections are your typical but they have a premium menu that is about $59 while the lunch and regular menu is $29 and $33. Additionally, drinks and sodas are about 2.99 and upwards. The staple selections we tried were the briskets, bulgogi, pork belly and steak. Sides are selected via their menu which they actually have quite a lot. You can order those side dishes as much as you can. So many variety of selections from 3 versions of the kimchi to rice paper and other veggies. Only sad worst they didn't have was the potato salad. The grill was a bit tricker, at least in our table as it kept moving and tilting around. Even after they replaced the grilled, it was still loving; not a show stopper for sure. I've eaten at so many Korean BBQ places from the United States to Australia and to the UK and they are ALL GREAT PLACES to dine at.

    Had such a great time here. Everything we tried was on point, especially the Wagyu, which was so tender and flavorful, and the bulgogi was perfectly marinated with that sweet/savory balance you want. The sides kept coming and everything was fresh and delicious. Service was also top notch. We didn't wait long to be seated because we joined the online waitlist. Staff were super friendly, attentive, and happy to help with the grill without hovering. Overall just a really cool KBBQ experience that hits on food, vibes, good music and service. Definitely coming back.

    Amazing!

    Is there fish cake as a side here?

    Yes :)

    Do they use peanut oil for any of their foods?

    Just soda for now. They are not licensed for alcohol yet. Possibly till October.

    I'm visiting for the second time, and I remembered this place having some of the best meat I've…read moreever had at a KBBQ restaurant. The cuts were high quality and not overloaded with fat. For some reason, I just never made it back here; probably because the Promenade area isn't usually along our route. Coming here tonight genuinely brightened my day. I had just finished a long shift and a commute, and all I wanted was a good, comforting meal. My nutritionist told me yesterday need to significantly increase my protein intake to help reduce muscle loss related to my autoimmune thyroid condition. KBBQ seemed like the perfect choice; lots of protein without a lot of unnecessary junk. On my way home, I stopped at two other KBBQ restaurants. Apparently, I was unaware of the unspoken rule that some places don't serve parties of one on weekends. One restaurant even had me wait 25 minutes before telling me they wouldn't seat a solo diner during the weekend. Unfortunately, my husband is currently deployed, so being a party of one isn't exactly a choice for me right now! Normally, dining alone doesn't bother me at all, but today it got to me. I was exhausted and simply wanted a comforting meal. Being turned away after waiting 25 minutes just because I by myself was the last thing I needed. When I called this restaurant, the owner or manager immediately answered and was incredibly friendly. He explained that they offer entrée and plate options for guests who aren't doing the all-you-can-eat menu. I honestly don't understand why more restaurants don't offer this. I know the food industry is competitive and businesses have to make money, but having options for solo diners makes such a difference. When I arrived, I received wonderful service right away, and there was no wait, but they were full. The owner or manager recognized me as the person who had called earlier and went out of his way to make me feel welcome since we found out we're from the same area. He even added a little surprise to my order simply out of kindness. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. In an area with no shortage of restaurants, I want to give this place the credit it deserves, not only for the excellent food, but for the heart behind the business. Today, I'm especially grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to me. You never know what someone may be going through, and a simple act of thoughtfulness can make a bigger impact than you realize. His kindness truly lifted my spirits after a long and difficult day. I believe this is a small family-owned business, and they absolutely deserve the support of the community. Great food is easy to find; genuine hospitality is much harder to come by. I'll definitely be back!

    Nice service and decent meat for the price!…read more The menu is straightforward with the basic meat options. Although the choices are very limited, they offer the typical meat options that people would normally get at other locations. The menu states that there's a limit on the marinated short ribs, but the worker said that we could get as much as we wanted. The ventilation could definitely be better, but it didn't bother us that much. Our favorite part was that they provided FREE ice cream at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise. * Beef Brisket: 9/10 - cooks the fastest and pairs nicely with the brisket sauce * Bulgogi Beef: 9/10 - nicely marinated and tender * Beef Short Ribs: 9/10 - the best choice, but we were curious as to why it didn't come with the bones * Ice Cream: 10/10 - perfect dessert after such a very meal The place is a good size and can fit a large number of booths and grills. We came when they first opened so the workers were quite attentive, but it might be different during hectic dinner times. They're located in a small lot with the gas station and other shops so parking might be tough. Considering this is one of the few KBBQ places in the area, we were happy with our experience and would definitely consider coming back!
