I always enjoy trying plate lunches outside of Hawaii. Crazy to say but the next time I come back to temecula it' won't be because of the wine, it will be for Mannge! Aunty and her partner gave us a quick history on how she started the business, her Chamorro side + her partner's Hawaiian/Japanese side inspired restaurant. This is the place to get island food! Better than most places on island to be completely honest. The food is handled with such care. Right away aunty asks you what you're in the mood for and makes sure you get what you want. The Chamorro chicken with sooo good, it was juicy and nicely marinated with the red rice and mac salad being towards the potato side. Get a regular, you will regret it if you get a mini. The poke was a complete surprise! Getting regular poke, simple is the best. Shoyu poke was delicious. Will have to be back for the meat jun now that they are doing that on select days. This place is great, I encourage everyone to go here if they really want to try some island food. And they play island reggae jams in the back. This place deserves more love, highly recommend this local joint. Thank you Aunty! read more

Stopped here on a mid Saturday afternoon. It was not busy. This place is kind of hidden and I found it off of Yelp searching Hawaiian food nearby. The Chamorro mixed with aloha got me and I wanted to try it out. Higher prices but this is expected with inflation. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. That is always a plus. Food is pretty good. I ordered a chicken kelaguen bowl and a spam musubi. The bowl came with red rice and Mac salad. I loved how the kelaguen was chopped. It was fresh and delicious. The Mac salad was ok but it's not their fault that I m not an olive person and they were diced in the salad. The musubi was big and very good too. Overall, food was great, service was quick and friendly. I will definitely stop here again and try another dish. read more

Last year, my husband and I came here for the first time and reviewed it with one and said, "not coming back". We have families that visited from LA who lived in Guam for a long time and was craving for empanadas. Hoping the menu has improved, we decided to give this place a "chance" for them to give a feedback as well. Overall, we all agreed that the foods were, again, disappointing! 1-5 rating (1 extremely dissatisfied-5 extremely satisfied): Empanada 1 (have you ever tried a cardboard? Rib plate 2 (ribs were dry) Mixed plate (chose beef teriyaki, as recommended by the cashier-too salty you don't need the side finadene. Chamorro chicken was slices of chicken that, according to the cashier, was marinated in soy sauce and vinegar; macaroni had a little taste this time Latiyas 4 service was friendly, although he seems like he was training, he did a great job Perhaps 3rd is a charm? No thanks! Still not worth the price read more

If you have been searching for authentic island flavors, look no further than Mannge Town Cafe. We were in the area and had been eager to try their Chamorro food, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The chicken kelaguen and red rice were both incredibly flavorful and tasted perfectly authentic--exactly what we were hoping for. We also ordered the Mannge pack, which came with a generous portion of teriyaki beef and garlic chicken; everything was well-prepared and hit the spot. Beyond the food, the hospitality here is fantastic. One of the owners actually stopped by our table to check on us, which was such a thoughtful and congenial touch that made us feel right at home. Between the generous portions, the high-quality Hawaiian and Chamorro dishes, and the welcoming atmosphere, this is a spot we will definitely be returning to! read more

How cool that there's a restaurant here that serves Chamorro food! We got the chicken kelaguen that came with red rice and potato salad. Ribs plate though I would've liked if it came with a side cucumber salad that was missing, it was still delicious. Hubby and I both loved the empanadas! So happy to get my Guam good fix! read more

Thursday, 3-12-2026: I met up here with a dear friend. We both wanted to try the food here since my friend is Guamanian. The owner Lou welcomed us in. The eatery is small & clean and exuded island vibes. They also have merchandise for sale. They have a nice menu list comprised of a variety of Guamanian and Hawaiian fare. It was difficult to decide but I eventually chose the Chicken Teriyaki small plate & my friend ordered the Chamorro Chicken small plate. It wasn't long before our meals were ready. We both enjoyed our meals. The chicken was tender & so flavorful. I loved my macaroni salad & she loved her red rice & potato salad. The owners, who are sisters were so friendly & engaging. Lou runs the counter while her sister Maria cooks all the marvelous meals. We look forward to returning. I will try the Guamanian food next time! Thanks to my sweet friend for treating me today! read more

I'm very happy to have another option for Hawaiian comfort food here in Temecula. I came for the Lau Lau and Kailua pork and cabbage. It was pretty good! Their combo meal includes both, plus rice and Mac salad (I asked for potato salad instead). The Lau Lau is from Hawaii, steamed up and delicious! The Kailua pork is their own, made fresh by the owner. Mannge's menu is a fusion of Hawaiian and Guam flavors. Both menus describe mouth watering combo plates. I will definitely be back to try the Guam side of the menu! There are several tables for onsite dining, best for a small group of 2-4 people. They display and sell island inspired jewelry, bags, snacks and a few clothing items. You will find Hawaiian Sun and Deric's (Red Pine Cafe) homemade Kim Chee and pickled cucumbers in the refrigerator. Tip: post a review on google or yelp and get a free drink or side with your next meal. This is a very friendly family owned business. Be sure to check them out! read more

I'm always on the hunt for Guam grub! Mannge Town Cafe was not on my radar, but one of my friends told me about this spot as I was in Temecula for a wedding! As it was our first time here and we were hungry, we ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage and Chamorro Fiesta Plate to share. Both were generous portions and we happily divulged! The Chamorro Fiesta plate inlcuded ribs, chicken, red rice and potato salad. The Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage inlcuded rice and mac salad. Were they the best renditions of those dishes? Not necessarily, but good enough for me! I would definitely come back here to get some island grub while in Temecula! read more

Mannge Town was open today hosting a small town Island Vibe event in Temecula at their store front, We stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the Chicken Teriyaki plate that came with white rice and Mac n Cheese. Plate was served with large portions that were enough for my husband and I. We also ordered some chicken empanadas and the pika ones were perfect! Much larger than the ones you would find online. They also serve chicken kelaguen and pickled daigu' by the pound! Hawaiian poke and Latiya too!! Hawaiian Sun drinks and Mr. Brown Lemon Tea... Reminds me of home and I'm glad we stopped in for lunch!! The staff are friendly and quick with service. They also came out to greet the vendors selling island jewelry and snacks. Come on by and check them out! read more

This place serves food from Guam which I haven't tried, they also have Hawaiian as well. I came here after staying at the casino nearby and wanted to try a new place. I wanted to try their Kelaguen bowl ($16.99) which consists of chopped cooked chicken with strong lemon forward flavor. It came with red rice and potato salad. The Kelaguen was very lemony which I liked and the sides were a bit bland. The staff was nice and the place was clean. read more

First time here. Friendly atmosphere. A good amount of seats. There was jewelry for sale. They also had some snack items to purchase. 3 choice combo we got was garlic chicken, beef teri, and coconut shrimp. Flavoring was good on the plate. Mac Salad was a little dry but it's fine. Lau Lau plate was the same, I didn't find any fish in mine but there was a lot of leaves in mine. Pork was dry, maybe cause there I couldn't find the fish. Flavor was still good. Just needed to add a little sea salt. I wish the plates already came with red rice though. Other than that, it is a good place, would come back to try other things. read more

I have fond memories of my other mom's Guamanian dishes, and have learned from her how to make many of them like kelaguen, red rice and fina denne. So when I saw a post about this new eatery I knew I had to try it out. The location is small, but it does the trick. I was greeted immediately from the ladies in the kitchen...felt welcoming, like going into someone's home. The menu has great options, for Guamanian and Island food. Ordered a couple of meat plates, one with galbi beef ribs, with sides of red rice and mac salad. The other was pork ribs, with island chicken , red rice and potato salad. All were delicious, the meats were perfect, sides were too. I wish the denne was a little spicier, or at least had that as an option. Will definitely be back for those platters!!! read more

I haven't had Chamorro food in quite some time, and there was a restaurant in San Diego that I used to really enjoy, so when this location appeared on my Yelp feed, I was excited to try it. I ordered a small beef plate with macaroni salad and red rice. There is a $1.50 upcharge for the red rice, and I believe customers should have the option to choose between white or red rice without an additional charge. I paid $20 for a small plate, which didn't include much food. Unfortunately, the beef was not tender, and the marinade and seasoning were not very noticeable. I was hoping to enjoy this meal more, but it fell short of expectations. However, I am open to giving this restaurant another try, as I understand that restaurants can have off days. read more

I called in a mixed plate order and had a great experience with the staff -- everyone was very friendly, and my order was ready on time. The food tasted good, but I was disappointed by the portion size of the chicken and beef. For over $20, I expected a much more generous serving, especially for a mixed plate. Overall, solid service and good flavor, but the value didn't quite match the price for me. I'd consider returning if the portion sizes improved. read more

Mannge Town Cafe - Mixed 2 item combo - Guamanian Near Me - Temecula, California

Mannge Town Cafe is a hidden gem offering authentic island eats from Chamorro and Hawaiian cuisine. We stopped by after hearing about this place through a coworker who missed food from home. I ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage, and it hit the spot 4.5/5. The kalua pork and cabbage reminded me of my father's cooking. I wished the Lau Lau was bigger, but the owner said it's sourced from Hawaii so it makes sense store-bought ones always leave you wanting for more. My partner ordered the chicken kelaguen and it's my first time having it. It reminded me of tuna salad but with chicken meat instead. A pricier plate lunch place ($20+) but that's because a lot of the ingredients are sourced out of state. Would definitely like to come back if I have island cravings! read more

Tried out this spot since it's gotten some buzz. I'm so happy we are getting some small owned businesses in the area, I'm so over the fast food chains.

FIRST TIME here and we are so happy we found a good HAWAIIAN place with good LOCO MOCO! The FIESTA PLATE: 3/5 The CHICKEN was a bit DRY and chewy. The rice was not bad if eaten with some sauce. The Mac salad was bland. The LOCO MOCO: 5/5 It's really hard to find a good Loco Moco over here in Cali. Makes me want to go visit Hawaii again but, the gravy here was pretty good.

I've came a few times wanting to try this food but it's been closed! Finally today I got to try and OMG it was delicious!!! I never knew how flavorful and different Chamorro Hawaiian food could be. Idk if it's just me or what but after trying it , I preferred it over regular bbq! The cashier was helpful in explaining the options which was nice since she took her time helping us pick the best plate. It's small but cute, so don't underestimate it! Sooo freakin good! read more

Excellent food! So happy they offer the smaller portion Teriyaki plates now. 5 stars!!!!!

We stumbled across this place by accident and I am so glad we did! We tried quite a few things from the menu, lumpia, coconut shrimp, garlic chicken, sunrise plate, loco moco and kalua pork. Everything was wonderful! Kalua pork with cabbage is my favorite but sometimes other hawaiian eateries, it can be too salty or smoky, but this Kalua pork was perfect! I am so happy to have found this place. It is a bit pricey, but the food does not disappoint. I am going to tell everyone I know to give them a try! The way that Temecula eateries come and go...I want this place to stick around! read more

First time trying Mannge, and I thought it was fantastic! I ordered the mini garlic chicken, which was a perfect portion. Chicken was tasty and the seasoning was lovely. The rice and macaroni salad, served on the side, were yummy as well. I ordered the spam musubi, which was great, just a little pricey for a single piece. The restaurant was calm and quiet, and my order was prepared on time for pickup. Looking forward to trying more menu items in the future. read more

Let me tell you how good the food is.... I ordered the Laulau plate, the side poke, and a Sun Hawaiian drink. OMG! Everything had the flavor of home, the laulau was perfectly stuffed with the right Before my husband got home, I threw away the "evidence", I didn't want him to know that I went to Manage Town Cafe without him. read more

Service was amazing! Everyone working was very kind. Food was decent, the macaroni tasted like just pasta not much of any other flavor and I love me some Hawaiian macaroni. So kinda sad it was a bust. Definitely, enjoyed the red rice with finidini sauce and the Chamorro ribs. My daughter liked her chicken katsu wasn't too fond of the bbq sauce that came with it unless the katsu sauce just wasn't in the bag. Everything else was good to go, not something I'd get again myself but definitely worth the try. Next time I'll come in on the weekend to try out the desserts and other dishes. The place is very small but very cute to dine in as a couple. read more

Ordered for the first time the Fiesta Plate, Loco Moco, Chamorro chicken bowl and All the different types of Spam Musubi and the Shanghi egg rolls. My son liked the eggs rolls. The chicken and ribs were a bit salty and a little dry but the potato and Mac salad was good. We always eat at Guahan Grill in Oceanside so we expected more. We will try again in a few weeks and see if it's better. read more

We ordered a mixed plate with mac salad, subbed white rice for red rice (score!), galbi, chicken katsu, and BBQ chicken and the lau lau plate to-go. The portion sized were okay (not necessarily plated by a heavy handed an auntie) and the prices reasonable for the area. The protein portions were on the conservative side. The BBQ chicken was particularly disappointing---saucy and lacked the char of true BBQ. Overall, very decent but not necessarily broke da mouth kine. Points for an authentic menu. Service was friendly but comically clunky (hey, they're new). This restaurant has completely new owners from the Chinese place it replaced. Overall, a welcomed addition to the community. I'll be back to try the chicken kelaguen but will likely only return for the Guamanian offerings as there are better Hawaiian restaurants in the area. read more

Had a craving for lau lau and decided to order a lau lau plate lunch. Overall, the lau lau was a decent portion and it was a standard plate lunch with rice topped with furikake and mac salad. Lau lau could have used a bit more salt, but that is a personal preference and I added salt to my taste. Son liked the side of caliguian (I didn't like it), but he didn't like the side of potato salad. Would we order again? Yes, whenever we miss the taste of home. read more

1st time here. Usually when a Chamorro restaurant opens up, I normally go and try it out. I ordered the chicken kelaguen bowl. The red rice was slightly hard, the chicken didn't have much taste and the potato salad the potatoes were hard needs to soft. Also we got the kalbi but it was more of a Hawaiian taste. The Empanada was mediocre. read more

Delicious and a great menu. Friendly and amazing vibes. Highly recommend for a date night

The service was true Chamorro very humble & blessed for our patronage. Food was hot and fiesta delicious. I do like my family's empanada though. Red rice was moist. Ribs were delicious. "månnge nai" I like the island vibe with chill island artist music so nice to hear our Chamorro jams "Nice touch" Island music was not too loud so we were able to talk at normal volume conversation. Great atmosphere but hey... I hope the place is small so when they grow... it will be tight and I hope it will. Happy to have a Chamorro spot in Temecula... sorry also Hawaiians delicious food too but we went with the Chamorro food, next time. read more

OK, so, our go to Hawaiian BBQ place closed. A quick Yelp! search revealed another hidden gem of the Islands right here on Temecula Pkwy. The food was well prepared and flavorful. The family enjoyed the chicken katsu, spam musubi, Chamorro chicken, and teriyaki chicken - along with the requisite white rice, mac salad and katsu sauce. All was comparable to the comforting food I've come to crave, but I felt that it had a more homemade quality. The proprietor was friendly and welcoming. You must try Mannge Town and support your local businesses. read more

It was good but not gonna lie the reviews about portion size are pretty true, grabbed the Chamorro and rib plate cost like $26 after tax and the portions were so small. Ribs were okay probably like 6 pieces but the Chamorro it was only like 3-4 tiny pieces. Probably won't be back. I was actually gonna go to "yo cheesesteak" but it was closed and the reviews about their portions match the pictures as well so I won't even waste my time with them either. read more
