    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious Korean Food. Great service from Abigail & Vicky. Ordered the Beef Bulgogi & Gimbap, very good & flavorful, definitely coming back here to try their other items.

    Marinated spicy pork ribs

    My ONLY complaint is that it was warm inside but it was such a hot day. Food was very good. Service was impeccable. Would go again if i was in the area.

    Food was yummy, but portion seems a bit small. I wish it was a bit more. Otherwise, it was good and the service was good as well!

I wasn't aware during my visit that I was caught in the crossfire. Everything at this location tastes nasty. Let's just say Mr. Tendernism vouched for this place before his termination; well, that says a lot about his overall judgment on food. 100% forget anything about Mr. Tendernism and his sad story, because he clearly doesn't know anything about anything if he was guiding people this way. I remember an episode of the LATRYGUY also going to this destination, and even he vouched for this nonsense. Can't trust that fool either. The mac and cheese was some weird variation. The baked beans didn't really taste like baked beans. The meat was overly peppered. They for odd reasons, don't serve potato salad. Change that mac and cheese. Change your seasoning, or at least try. Include Potato Salad. And maybe your business will survive whatever it is going through. Sorry but facts.

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!
