    Nice place
    Anthony P.

    This place has quickly become our favorite noodle restaurant. We have been here several times now and the service and food are always amazing. Fresh vegetables and flavorful proteins make each dish a new STORY. The interior ambience is relaxing. If you happen to be in Temecula, stop by and give them a try. I highly recommend the Udon noodles or Banh Mi sandwich.

    This place uses some of the freshest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Also, they have the best crab rangoons!! The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. I also appreciate how clean and spacious the restaurant is. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

    Still one of my favorite meals I've had in Temecula! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. I ordered the same thing as last time, but it was still just as delicious. The garlic shrimp is so flavorful and the tiger sauce is perfection. The veggies are so fresh and the rice noodles make it feel like a lighter meal. I did try an order of the crab rangoons and they were so good! The flavor of the cream cheese and the dipping sauce was a great pairing. I hope to branch out next time I visit, because I really want to try a banh mi!

    Just minutes from my house and I finally made it here!! The place has a cool vibe, nicely decorated, clean, inviting, we were greeted immediately. The aroma of lemongrass beef cooking, was mouth watering!!! Lots of great options, dry bowls, soups and appetizers....great noodle selection and toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back to try out the different bowl options, pho was delicious.

    Bbq Pork banh mi is the best!
    Myrine S.

    Love their bbq pork banh mi! This is my first review but I've eaten here a handful of times and I've only ordered the pork and chicken banh mi. It's that good! Generous amount of grilled meat, warm toasted baguette with healthy veggies. Ask for the jalapeños on the side if you don't want it too spicy. Love that it is made to order. Appreciate the fresh, quality ingredients.

    It's like a Vietnamese chipotle- we ordered 3 soups and one bowl - after soccer games yum!

    I want to love this place as it's independently owned, but unfortunately the food was just ok. I ordered their Bahn Mai with lemongrass beef. The beef was good with flavor but the rest of sandwich was ehhhhhh...the bread needs to be fresh with a crisp as well as the herbs and vegetables. The vegetables did not taste fresh, were they from a prepared bag? The vegetable preparation is not in line with usual bahn mai sandwiches: which is critical to the overall sandwich. The soup was better/ the flavoring was good. Price is not bad for the food. Service was good: friendly Ambiance: the dining area decor was basic but clean. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant in the lot

    Always enjoy the food here. The bbq pork was tender and flavorful. Good portion size. Lots of condiments to choose from. They"ve added to tables for outside seating which was nice as it does tend to get Smokey inside from the fresh grilling going on .

    Stephanie P.

    10/10 so good. Fresh ingredients! Owners are always here, everyone is super helpful and friendly, and I love how clean the space is. The meat quality is good! I can't stand getting chunks of fat in my food and they really deliver on quality and flavorful proteins! They also don't add in MSG which is super hard to find and 100% appreciated! We came back again 2 days after our first visit because we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    As someone who is a huge BIGGG BACKER, honestly, this place was amazing. No complaints at all. We got the beef bowl and the red curry and both were amazing. The flavor was top tier. Def going to be a frequent spot for us

    Lemongrass Bahn Mi stuffed!
    Che' M.

    This spot is simply amazing. Showed up about 30 min before closing and was immediately greeted warmly. I knew i wanted the lemongrass bahn mi but I wanted something else. The young lady was very nice and patient with me. I ended up getting the Chapter 2. That garlic shrimp was outstanding and all the veggies were fresh! Now on to that damn sandwich. It was the best Bahn Mi I've had in my life. The flavors coming out of it were mind blowing! The portions were huge. We all know how some places get real skimpy, not them! Oh and the place was spotless, with plenty of seating, and an amazing condiment bar. Needless to say, I will be returning often. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Ask the Community - A Noodle Story

    Should we make a reservation (looking at 6:00 p.m.) or is there enough seating?

    It's fast casual, you order at the counter and seat yourself. They don't have reservations but there is usually a table or two open when I've been there.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    They have vegetarian for sure. If you build your own bowl yes but the chapters or premade ones are not.

(cheap lunch specials at both locations) Food (5/5) - took some coworkers here for a work lunch and even just the lowest tier menu was great in price and taste. Great sides like corn cheese and fried chicken, and great quality meats like the beef belly and flavorful bulgogi had us eating until we gained a few extra pounds. need to come back for the premium menus. service (5/5) - i guess they usually have a tablet system to order, but it wasn't working today so they had servers taking orders. Didn't make a difference as our server was great and on top of new orders for us. ambiance (5/5) well ventilated, spacious and comfortable seating, music not too loud, plenty of parking in a big plaza, and a super sleek and modern interior design made for a very enjoyable dining experience here.

The staff was friendly and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. There is also a robot server! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that service and food timing slowed down a bit once the restaurant got busy, and we had to wait longer than expected for a few refill orders. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it took away from the overall experience. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving Korean BBQ. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it. Great ambiance--but you'll leave smelling like BBQ lol

Though different from your classics, the mixologists know what they're doing. We have been coming to this establishment for around 3 years and though we noticed there are different staff members very often, they are all very kind. It does make you wonder why there isn't any longevity. This recent weekend visit, the staff was still nice but wasn't attentive. Nothing stood out about the service and we found ourselves flagging them down a few times for re ups on water, napkins, etc. Food is still good, this was our first time trying the longaniza and shrimp appetizer and it was flavor packed! The baguette served on the side with the appetizer was the perfect combination. The biscuits and gravy were some of the best I have ever had. The biscuit was buttery, soft, and savory. I am very picky with gravy and this one hit all the marks. Seasoned well, great texture, and not greasy at all. The carnitas chilaquiles are a classic although personally I wish they had more spice. The meat is tender, slightly sweet, and herbal. It seems that they got new tables. I do appreciate that they have misters for the outside tables and dogs are welcome on the outside patio. Love the outside seating since you can see old town.

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!
