    Speaks for itself
    Malina C.

    When I first drove in and parked, I wasn't sure the propped open doors was the front entrance. The place kind of looks like a church hall, where you'd go to eat lunch after service. It was pretty barren inside except for some framed pictures on the wall and a few chairs. It did smell great though, like they were burning some incense. After placing my order, it took about 15 minutes before it was ready. I have no issue with that, but if I was in a hurry I'd probably order ahead and pick up. Ordered the Papa bowl #1 with Galbi (bone-in beef, like flanken ribs). The bowl comes with rice, lightly cooked fresh vegetables (carrots, zucchini, broccoli) that still has a little crunch, but not raw. Also comes with a side of kimchi and japchae (Korean thin noodle made from sweet potato). It also came with two fried dumplings, but when I asked if it was pork she said it did have pork inside and she opted to give me an extra scoop of japchae instead, which I was excited about. Loved the beef, it was so tender and marinated and seasoned well. The marinade has a slight sweetness to it that goes great with the meat. Wish they drizzled some of the marinade or had an accompanying sauce to go with it, because the bowl was very dry and had no sauce. Even adding the kimchi was not enough. The japchae turned out to be just noodles, sautéed in sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It didn't have much flavor other than the sesame oil. I have had japchae in other restaurants and they usually have vegetables and are seasoned well. Other than that, it was a nice accompaniment. Overall, I thought the meat was delicious and you can tell that they really take pride in their meat. The chicken looked really tasty and I'll come back to try that next time. Also the Mama plates come with some of the Korean side dishes that the Papa bowl doesn't come with so that would also be great to try out. The lady who took my order, Kelly, was very kind and sweet. She gave me and another lady waiting for our food some grand opening gifts: a beautiful scarf and a couple of packaged face masks.

    Deluxe Meal
    Maria M.

    We ordered the Deluxe Meal, is delicious . A little spicy for me but still delicious! This place is a must try. The service is friendly, clean place, the wait was a bit long, but worth the wait. The kimchi is so delicious, everything is delicious!!

    DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SPOT!! Very authentic Korean food and the people who run this are so adorable. They are incredibly sweet and hospitable. I just wish I found this place sooner. The food hits the spot. We ordered the Deluxe and it does not miss. Everything is freshly prepared and the flavors are phenomenal. I just wish they had places like this in SGV. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.

    Deluxe box
    Layla E.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem-- from the service to the food, I cannot recommend it enough. To start, the owner was such a sweetheart! She really made me want to come back before I even tried the food. Plus, I called ahead, but it only took 10 minutes for my food to be ready. Which is crazy, considering how good the food is! Onto the food. We got the deluxe box and, oh my goodness, when she handed us the box I was blown away. The pictures don't do it justice, it's a great portion for the price. It was absolutely delicious-- the bolgogi is very very good in particular. We'll definitely be back!

    At first, I felt apprehensive going inside the building, but I was greeted and treated really well! I got a nice green tea, and I ordered the bulgogi and galbi bowls. For about $10 each, it was a good, sizable, and delicious meal! Plenty of veggies and the meat was very well seasoned! It was very filling, the meat was tender and a little sweet and savory, and the veggies were nicely cooked but still had a satisfying crunch. Definitely stop by and try it sometime!

    Mama Meal #1 - Beef
    Wolf P.

    i was excited to try this place based on the reviews but i was a bit underwhelmed by my experience. Finding the place was not difficult, the place looks ok, iits adjacent to a residential area. Inside there is a good sized sitting area which can probably potentially serve dine in but Its a "to go" only restaurant. Food was underwhelming. I ordered the mama meal so I can taste their banchan sides. The meal I chose was supposed to have the kalbi and bulgogi meats, but unfortunately I was notified after ordering p and paying that they only had kalbi so i said ok they can double the kalbi. When I got my food, I was pleased with the presentation but the meat quantity was disappointing, it looked like I only received a portion of meat, not two. Food taste was average, a bit under seasoned. The kalbi was not tender, at all. The japchae noodles were overcooked and again, not seasoned. The kimchi was also disappointing. I paid almost $25 (with a drink) for this meal and I wished I should have just went to my go to AYCE korean bbq place. The only saving grace for me was the service. I was served complementary hot green tea while I was waiting for my food. Otherwise, I would rate a star less. I hope the owner is paying attention.

    #1 Papa Bowl Beef Bulgogi.
    Elizabeth S.

    Their customer service is lovely, the lady who takes your order always has a pleasant conversation with me. As for the bowl, the vegetables are perfectly steamed, they are soft but still have crunch. The japchae and dumplings are flavorful. The rice is delicious on its own, I tend to add soy sauce to my rice but their rice doesn't need it. The bulgogi is delicious and they give you a good portion. Overall their food is appetizing and it's my go to lunch now.

    Mama's deluxe meal. Supposed to be for 2 people. Could easily feed 3 adults, maybe 4 kids haha

    Presentation and packaging 5 Taste 5 Portion 5 Smell 5 Service 5 Close to my job 5 I love finding little gems and this place is one of them! Highly recommend if your around town or wanna try korean food.

    Mama Meal #1 - Beef
    Sofia R.

    This place is delicious! The people working here are so kind! After I left with my order a woman came and offered me some ice water. Such a kind gesture on a hot day. I wish there was a dine in option so I can taste it fresh had to drive 30 min smelling delicious food. I got the mama meal 1 to try all the sides. Did not disappoint! Also best kimchi I've had!

    Bibimbap on top, under is Papa bowl #1 Beef Bulgogi, and Mama Meal #3 Chicken
    Alan T.

    This will definitely be my go to spot for Korean food in this area! I ate the bibimbap and felt satisfied and wanting for more afterwards. This dish truly defines a well balanced meal. My mother had Papa Bowl #1 and she was surprised by the portion size. The meats were marinated well and it had the authentic bulgogi taste we love which is savory, salty, and sweet. The owners were very awesome and friendly! They greeted us right away, we received free gifts of rice cakes and my mom got a scarf, and they adjusted my little bro's order of Mama Meal #3 by substituting the veggies and kimchi with all rice. I will definitely be coming back! :)

    The food smelled so good that I forgot to take a picture before I started devouring it. I think I ordered the Mama bowl #2.

    My wife and I moved to San Bernardino a couple of years ago. The food here rivals what you would find in K-town or Sawtelle in LA. The bulgogi is delicious (the spice level is no joke), the veggies are crisp and fresh, the japchae is juicy. The people who run the place are incredibly welcoming and sweet people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

    The food was amazing!! The staff was also so nice!! I'll definitely be going back!

    Food was amazing I'll definitely be going back! The staff was also super nice!! They offered me ice water while I waited for the food to be ready!

    What's left of a papa bowl with galbi beef

    Tastes like a home meal. Warm, cozy, really nice disposable chop sticks, a good hefty portion. It was on the saltier side but the kimchi was top notch. I enjoyed my japchae with my pap bowl with galbi. The veggies were good and made it light and not super heavy. And of course service was friendly!!

    I stopped by around midday on a Sunday. It was a little busy when we got there, but the line moved…read morepretty quickly, so we weren't waiting long. There was also plenty of parking and several seating options inside. We decided to order a little bit of everything so we could try as much of the menu as possible. We had the brisket, brisket burnt ends, rib tips, several sides, and both desserts. The brisket burnt ends were definitely my favorite. They were smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket had a beautiful bark and was cooked perfectly, and the rib tips were just as good. I was honestly just as impressed with the sides. My favorites were the spicy mac and cheese and the potato salad. The potato salad was creamy and was the perfect thing to cool your mouth after eating the steamed jalapeños. The coleslaw and green beans were also really refreshing and balanced out all the rich barbecue. The biggest surprise for me was the sweet yams. It was so flavorful that it tasted like it had been slow-cooked in brown sugar and spices for hours. For dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler. The banana pudding was the winner for me, but I also liked that the peach cobbler wasn't overly sweet. Even the cornbread was delicious. I ended up pairing it with the barbecue baked beans and was a great combo. Our total came to about $110 before tax and tip, but we ordered enough food to try a wide variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so I thought it was well worth it. Overall, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again. If you're looking for great Texas-style barbecue in the Inland Empire, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

The brisket is sooo good and fatty. Especially paired with the sauce. If you can only try one thing make sure to get the brisket. They also sell by weight so feel free to get any amount you want. The young woman slicing the meats was very nice when explaining their menu and how to order. I read plenty of reviews before coming here and many noted the sides were lacking but I thought the opposite! The beans were extremely rich and decadent, and the yams were soo tasty without being overly spicy.

They've been in that location for 19 years but first thing to know is there is no dine in option and if you blink, you'll pass right by it. You walk in, there's the order/pick up counter and a couple chairs to sit in to wait for your order, a jukebox that says "do not touch" and a soda fridge. But don't fret, the ribs are worth picking up or having delivered. Fresh, succulent, "cut it with a spoon" tender and meaty ribs. Very good sauce covering everything and I don't say this lightly. I usually eat my ribs sauceless or with just a little to dip in to but not this time. All my fingers and half my face got sauced and I didn't care. The sides were as noteworthy as the ribs. Delicious, moist, cheesy homemade (or good as homemade if it was store bought) mac & cheese and baked beans cooked to perfection. The only things that held up the fifth star was 1. Their sliced beef. It was fatty and drenched in bbq sauce like they were hiding their sliced beef shame in it, 2. The service was slow. I called in the order, was told 15 minutes, I arrived 30 mins later and they hadn't even started putting the order together. I ended up waiting an additional 15 mins while they prepared the order, and 3. Their hours are a little selective. Make sure you check the hours on the day you go. All of this is forgivable though because what they do right, they do RIGHT!! And they definitely do ribs right. Sorry, I failed to capture any pictures.
