    We stopped here on a road trip just off the highway. Love the homie and family owned vibe from the get go. Prices are quite high for the area more like LA prices. Katsu was listed as "giant" which was anything but that. It was large but super thin, almost felt like complaining. The mackerel was the star dish and grilled to absolute perfection and juicy, highly recommend. The rest of the dishes were pretty much just ok. A decent stop but the rating here appears too high IMHO

    I usually don't write reviews but I was so pleasantly surprised at this place. Immediately walking in, the server was really busy but very attentive and really nice. The food is a bit on the pricier side but that's expected for this type of restaurant. Food was a 9.5/10, felt like a home cooked Korean meal and the sides were generous and yummy. Would highly recommended the tofu soup and the spicy pork belly dish with kimchi, both were 10/10!! I'm not sure if the lady that cooked was the owner but it looked like she had taken the time to come out and check on some of the elderly tables which I thought was so sweet. Very happy about this place, I could see myself as a regular here

    Drove from Moreno Valley to try this restaurant recommended by my sister and it was so delicious. We ordered bulgogi, beef ribs, seafood pancake, spicy rice cakes with ramen, rolled eggs, kimchi fried rice, bibimbap and boneless chicken wings. The side dishes were fresh and tasted delicious. Everything has a good flavor, I am so happy to find a Korean restaurant that serves fresh food.

    The food here is delicious! My kids go nuts for their spam fried rice. The bulgogi is so flavorful and a great portion for two people to share. The banchan is all so good and the kimchi is to die for! We've been here multiple times and have ordered delivery and are always so happy with the food. Their staff is so lovely and the service is always top notch.

    $18 boneless wings

    Food here is alright, but not the best i've ever tried. The main issue here is quality and quantity. The Galabi ribs are not washed enough so when you eat close to the bone , you just get tiny pieces of bone all in your mouth. I purchased three things for $96 and there was hardly any meat! You'd expect the biggest portion of the plate to be meat especially if it was $45. "salad" is just chopped lettuce... I love Korean food but just drive to temecula! Like I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around how much they are charging for such a small amount of food.

    Highly recommend coming here if you're craving Korean food. Everything was delicious! Service was great! Came here in the middle of the week so there was no wait and the place was nice and calm.

    Assorted Seafood Pancake ($25)

    The food was pretty good, matched our expectations. However, the price of the meals and service is why I have to give this a 3/5. The lady serving us did not refill our waters and did not explain the 5 sides per table if an entree was ordered. There were 5 of us and yet we get the same amount of sides as a two person table. On top of that, the prices are way too much. $25 is the average price for the entrees. Ambiance was clean. Unfortunately, will not come again.

    Space: Plenty of parking and space for parties of 5+ or more. A very casual environment for those looking to eat with friends or recover from a night out. Service: I would say once again standard customer service (expect nice and able to check-in with your party). Dishes: My party ordered the Grilled Mackerel, Spam Fried Rice, and Spicy Cold Noodle. I would give the Mackerel and Cole Noodle a 10/10. They are both refreshing and provide distinct tastes to anyone that needs a change in their daily life. The spam fried rice was a bit more on the oily side, but for anyone who appreciates a good rice dish this would be perfect for you. Eating these dishes between two people if enough to feel satisfied. Side Dishes: If you wanted to get a refill on side dishes, only (2) of the (5) are free. You have to pay extra for any additional refills. Price: From Korean restaurant standards, some items on the menu are more expensive than others. If you want a discount, bring cash because it'll be a 5% discount off your total. If you're in the area, want any semblance of Asian food, and don't care about pricing, give this place a try.

    Marinated chicken

    Abigail was the server and really effective and fast. Loved the shrimp tempura but the fried corn was awesome

    Side dishes... The best Kimchi
    Gia C.

    This is our second time at Mama's Kitchen and like always they didn't disappoint. Food is made to order and fresh and delicious. The Gimbap was amazing and the Kimchi is so crunchy and flavorful. Service was on point, the waitress was so nice. The place is clean and very quiet. Highly recommended!!!!

    The service was good, she checked on us often. The food was mixed, the soup was delicious and the sides overall were pretty good, the flavors were a little off on some and the bibimbap was just ok. Not much flavor at all. But overall it was a good meal and we will have to try something different next time.

The chow mein was drenched in oil, and the beef had an unappealing, jiggling texture that tasted odd and leftovers looked strange the next day. The House Fried Rice contains BBQ pork, chicken, and shrimp. The ingredients aren't listed on the display menu, and since I don't eat shrimp, I couldn't eat my meal. (That's my fault for not asking ahead of time for ingredients). On the bright side, the iced Thai Tea with Boba was enjoyable. Service was decent; the 15-minute wait for takeout made sense since everything is prepared as you order. I really wanted to like it here, but this food is just not for me.

I've been wanting to try them since I heard good things so I bought both. Mind you these pies are sitting on a display near checkout for several days until sold out. I took them home and cut into them immediately and found mold in the California mountain pie. I DID NOT find it in the Julian pie but I didn't want to chance it and return them both. You might be wondering why baron is getting a bad review instead of California mountain bakery (they getting one too). But it's because I had called them right when I found out, after my family had ate half of the pie and I wanted them to make sure that they pulled the pies so other people don't get sick. I drive back to them an hour later to return the pies and get a refund. Although they were very apologetic and they gave me a refund right away, I still saw the pies on display!! Which leads me to believe that the priority of spoiled pie or public health isn't a big concern, or that they just wait until other people complain and ask for a refund rather than removing the pies left over. I bought the pie on 6/7 and the label said sold by 6/8. I guess the only silver lining is that you know they don't add preservatives into their pies. Overall, probably the last time I get pie here because I cannot conclude if it was mishandled by the delivery driver or the market, however if Barons is selling the pie, they will have to take some responsibility on how they will keep it fresh for the consumer. It's probably best to buy it frozen or eat it at the actual pie location than to take a chance at a moldy pie from here.

So far, I haven't found it. Typically I order Bento Box Combinations, and sometimes specialty rolls. Sushi is a matter of personal taste, and I gave Yoshiharu Ramen a three overall for "OKAY". Don't get me wrong, I ate everything they served me, and it was all right. It just didn't WOW me. The restaurant is clean and looks nice. The service was good and my food was okay. There were a few minor things that annoyed me, but isn't it the little things that differentiate places that are great versus ones that are just good or okay? I ordered a diet coke, and they had no diet available. The miso soup (not pictured) that came with the meal was piping hot, but the flavor was not as good as others I have had. When they brought my chicken bento box, which included California Roll, there was no wasabi or ginger. I had to ask the waitress for wasabi, and then she said, "You want wasabi?" as if that was something unusual. Finally, my favorite sushi places have a list of items to choose from for their bento box. They may list 8 or 10 items and ask you to pick 2 or 3. At my other places I might choose, chicken and beef and a spicy tuna roll (vs California roll). Then you get those plus the soup, salad, etc. At Yoshiharu Ramen, it is a set list of items. You only get to pick a meat in the bento box (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, etc.) Their other sushi or ramen may be terrific. So if you are nearby and want sushi or ramen, don't let me dissuade you. The reason I take the time to write a detailed review is so readers can understand MY criteria and why for me, this restaurant is okay, just not a 4 or 5 on my chart.

Noodle consistency is great with their Blaze or Classic ramen options, as the broth tends to be a little thicker and creamier than the Shoyu option. Their appetizer selection is also pretty diner friendly and sure to include a little something for everyone. If you're not in the mood for noodles, they also offer regular or large rice bowls, which come with amazing flavor profiles all on their own. At a glance, the 'regular' size option might seem like an insignificant portion, but rest assured it comes ready to satisfy the types of diners who'd prefer to taste a little of everything. My only critique would be on the sushi selection. It didn't taste so fresh, but then again this place is obviously not named Silverlake Sushi, so I'll rest my case on that note. I stand firmly behind ramen being the craft that Silverlake takes time to perfect, both in the intricate taste and in visual detail. Highly recommend if you're craving noodles and don't want to drive out of town to get them!
