    Chicken & shrimp plate

    First time going food, service, and quality was great I would definitely go again! Some nice seating areas to gaze outside as well.

    Every visit the staff is welcoming and food is delicious. Definitely a gem on Sunnymead !

    Special note for momma to be! The curry and teriyaki chicken are amazing!! And she added some free potstickers for baby

    Been coming here for years and every time we come back it's like visiting family! They really care about their customers! I forgot my wallet and they let me order anyways and said I could pay them later. Who does that these days?! So much love here! Amazing food and incredible service! Welcoming ambiance!

    I've eaten here over a dozen times and the food is consistently good. They're the only restaurant in the area that I know of with real deal delicious Galbi. The cashiers are always friendly and quick to take orders. My food is always fresh and their teriyaki sauce is great. The place is always clean and the workers are constantly tidying up after every customer. Come try their Galbi of Chicken Katsu plate. I just wish they had hawaii bbq style macaroni salad but I'll still eat here regardless!

    A FAVORITE FOR YEARS! My go to is the chicken and galbi combo plate and a blended mocha. I've had good quality food and service here my entire life. Love supporting this small business and highly recommend to anyone who wants good food made in a timely manner in a clean and bright space.

    Milk tea was full when i asked her nicely if she can take it back and switch it for me

    I dined in the chicken bowl was okay the chicken was burnt and tough to chew & i also Ordered a Milk tea & was not the usual taste it had a weird strong taste, when i asked if i could switch it because it was my daughters drink she just kept repeating very rudely no i can add ice it's the same recipe!

    This place is definitely a hidden gem in Menifee!…read more We were welcomed as soon as we walked in by our server, Micah who was amazing!! Very attentive, explained the menu, and gave solid recommendations. The restaurant is clean, spacious and clearly family‑owned, which gives it a warm, homey vibe. Mama's Kitchen is the real deal. It's not an all‑you‑can‑eat or cook‑your‑own type of spot. This is true Korean home cooking, made fresh by Mama herself in the kitchen. The name couldn't be more accurate. The menu offers a good variety of different dishes, which are big enough to share between 2 people. We ordered the Japchae and the Korean short ribs (Galbi), which came with steamed rice and five small plates of banchan. The dishes were the perfect amount for my mom and me to share. Everything was delicious. The Galbi was melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender, and the Japchae was seasoned just right with bulgogi and shiitake mushrooms. The banchans definitely hit the spot. I couldn't get enough of the fish cake, shredded daikon kimchi, and cucumber kimchi. The only thing I would suggest, is the size of their banchan! Their serving size were very small amounts. This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint. Mama even came out to check on us, welcomed us personally, and even took a picture with my Mama!! Overall I was quite pleased with our food, even my pickiest critic, my mom, gave it her official Mom's Stamp of Approval, so we'll definitely be back.

Service was great, all the employees are very friendly and attentive. We got the tofu soup which came with a side of rice and an egg, kalguksu, bibimbap, and an order of egg rolls. Unlike most korean restaurants, only certain entrees will come with 5 banchans (side dishes) for the whole table, in our case it came with our bibimbap. Everything was really good, classic flavors. The eggrolls I believe were veggie based.

    As a Riverside native, it was really nice to finally try Koreana Grill, a place that's been around…read morefor a little over 30 years that I've driven past countless times. My wife and I just had our first Korean BBQ experience, and we loved it. Everything is self-serve, which actually made the experience even better. Cooking the food together at the table made dinner feel more interactive and fun instead of just sitting there waiting for food to arrive. Our favorites were definitely the Spicy Bulgogi, Spicy Chicken, and the kimchi. The meats had amazing flavor and cooked up perfectly on the grill, and the kimchi had that perfect spicy tang that paired really well with everything. What we didn't expect was how intimate the whole experience felt. Since you're cooking and sharing the food together, it naturally made my wife and I talk more and enjoy each other's company instead of just sitting there with our faces buried in our phones waiting for food to come out. It really turned dinner into quality time. Another great surprise was the price -- less than $80 out the door for the two of us, which felt like a great value for such a fun and memorable experience. If you've never tried Korean BBQ before, this is a great place to start. We'll definitely be back.

We stuck with the regular because they said it was good enough, and yeah, it was plenty good. However I would try the premium menu on my next visit. Place is clean and spacious, which I liked. Our server Cordell and everyone was fast and on point. We ordered through the tablet right at the table, service was quick, and the meats turned out really delicious. Especially loved the beef brisket, beef belly, top blade steak, (356 steak- our favorite), LA galbi, 356 bulgogi, and the seasoned short rib cubes.

The flavor of the meats and sides is still really good, they definitely know how to season their food. The problem this time around was the meat itself. It felt like they were skimping on the portion sizes, and the overall quality of the cuts didn't seem as good as it used to be. When you pair smaller portions and lower quality with their recent price increases, it's just not a great look. I still like this place, but it definitely didn't feel like the best value this time around. I'll probably give them another chance, but I hope they step it back up.

Unfortunately, this particular location in McKinley, Corona was very disappointing. The service was horrible. Our server was rude, not friendly at all, and didn't even smile. If you're in the service industry, basic respect and courtesy go a long way, especially when dealing with customers. Sadly, that was completely missing. We also spoke to the manager regarding the brisket, which was tough and rubbery, but she didn't seem to care at all. No concern, no effort to resolve the issue. To make things worse, our server went on break and told us someone would cover--but no one ever came to check on us or take our orders. We were left trying to get anyone's attention, and even when I was clearly waving for help, the staff ignored us. Orders took forever--at least 10-15 minutes each time--even though the restaurant wasn't busy. My husband asked for a Diet Coke refill and it never came until we had to ask again. We love Gen Korean BBQ, but this location was a huge letdown. Poor service, lack of attention, and no accountability. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back to this branch and would not recommend it. Do yourself a favor and go to a different location.

They have a machine for self-ordering and self serve on utensils so not much interaction with the staff. But when I did speak with them, they were nice. Overall, this place is great to get your korean food cravings covered.
