    Its quick, easy, good and close by! Sucks paying a dollar if you use your card, so make sure you bring cash

    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.

    My elderly mother and I walked into this restaurant at 8:25 pm. It is posted that the restaurant…read moreclosed at 9:00 on a Friday night. The young lady walked us to a table and plopped the menus in front of us. She walked away to retrieve utensils which she then dropped on the table and said " last call for food is 8:30. You have 4 minutes. ( just like that)... It seems she could have just said they were closed for business when we walked in, instead of seating us. I can't review the food, she didn't give us a chance to order. We drove an hour to try the restaurant... I just told her we would come back another day. I doubt I will though. I would like to inquire with " Mama" if their standing policy is no more customers after 8:30... or if this was just an employee wanting to leave by 9 pm. If so, please clearly state your policy. Thank you.
