    Alcohol is a winner with KBBQ.
    Jeff M.

    Friendly staff with efficient service. JR took care of us by giving suggestions for sauces with each dish. Our side dishes were endless while JR was attentive to our needs. Great ambient environment with music. Family friendly. Did I mention they serve alcohol? 5 stars for the service.

    Awesome selection of whisky - if you are looking for something unique- they have it. Beer tap is also brand new.

    Such a cute spot! This place has really improved a lot since new management took over . Everything is so delish ! Temecula needed a spot like this. The service was friendly and impressively fast, and the inside has a really cozy, inviting vibe. Meat quality is there ! Also I tried the Korean tacos and they were a 1000/10--seriously, some of the best I've ever had. The bulgogi and spicy pork . So flavorful!

    Excellent service on every visit ! Staff has always been friendly and inviting on every visit. Food quality is top grade, fresh and trimmed well. The banchan sides are all very well prepared and I also enjoy the assortment of condiments they have available on the table and upon request. Ambiance is family friendly and noise level is relatively low enough to have a conversation at normal voice level. Will always recommend this establishment.

    It's been a long time since I tried a KBBQ place I actually liked lol. They serve a lot of meat and endless banchan. Everything was tasty and good quality. Our server was attentive, often checking in, and quick with refills on drinks and banchan, also he was like super handsome lol! The restaurant itself was clean, tidy, a good layout, and cozy, family friendly. The complimentary scoop of ice cream did it for me. Definitely will return.

    Beautiful spot

    This place was pretty good, considering the area. I'm from the San Diego, where Convoy is the main staple for Korean barbecue. Went here on Christmas Day and there were about 4 other families enjoying Christmas dinner here, so it wasn't too busy or loud. Our server was super nice and attentive. The meat itself was okay. The brisket was thick and chewy. The pork belly was good and the short rib was the star of the show. Not sure if it's because it was Christmas, but the rice paper was pretty dry. Also, the drinks are HUGE: maybe 32-40oz, so getting a soda here is worth it.

    Family first tried this place when our family friend had brought us for dinner. Me and hubby had tried a few Korean bbq places but were never really a fan until we came here. Staff is very friendly. The owner is awesome! Hubby enjoys speaking with the owner who is usually there everyday. The place is always clean and welcoming. Pricing is very reasonable and everything we have tasted so far is delicious. Sides are unlimited. The kids and hubby loved the steamed eggs. My favorite side are the radish and spicy cucumbers and potatoes. We always have a great time here, usually has the game on during the season too. Cups for sodas teas water etc are HUGE! lol. The meats are always fresh and delicious. Overall, we will continue to come to this place. Definitely have recommended this place to family who have already tried and enjoyed it. Thank you!

    Came in with a group of friends after work with some clients. The staff was friendly and made space for our large group. The meat selections were amazing, my favorite was the marinated short rib and the bulgogi. The meats were so tender and juicy some of the best I've ever had. The sides were very delicious too. The soju was smooth. We got the pomegranate, peach, tropical and fresh. My favorite was the peach and tropical. So smooth and tasty. Gary is such an amazing owner and treated us like royalty. Highly recommend eating all the things here. Top notch!

    I'm visiting for the second time, and I remembered this place having some of the best meat I've…read moreever had at a KBBQ restaurant. The cuts were high quality and not overloaded with fat. 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!

    Nice service and decent meat for the price!…read more The menu is straightforward with the basic meat options. Although the choices are very limited, they offer the typical meat options that people would normally get at other locations. The menu states that there's a limit on the marinated short ribs, but the worker said that we could get as much as we wanted. The ventilation could definitely be better, but it didn't bother us that much. Our favorite part was that they provided FREE ice cream at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise. * Beef Brisket: 9/10 - cooks the fastest and pairs nicely with the brisket sauce * Bulgogi Beef: 9/10 - nicely marinated and tender * Beef Short Ribs: 9/10 - the best choice, but we were curious as to why it didn't come with the bones * Ice Cream: 10/10 - perfect dessert after such a very meal The place is a good size and can fit a large number of booths and grills. We came when they first opened so the workers were quite attentive, but it might be different during hectic dinner times. They're located in a small lot with the gas station and other shops so parking might be tough. Considering this is one of the few KBBQ places in the area, we were happy with our experience and would definitely consider coming back!

The broth was so dark and tasted SO SWEET!!! It literally tasted like Bo Kho (beef stew) Pho should not be that sweet. I'm not exaggerating either. I had to force myself to at least eat the noodles so I at least ate something. They also gave us no bean sprouts, basil, limes and jalapeños for the side garnishes. As I'm writing this review I can feel my stomach hurting as the Pho is settling inside. I am so upset about this!!!! 2) Bi cuon: Again, the meat didn't taste fresh. 3) Com Tam Suon Bi Cha: Meat not fresh, strong after taste. Also tasted like leftovers. Also, the amount of MSG is enormous and I'm trying to get it out of my system asap!!! Unfortunately this will be the last time we come here. I really hope you take into consideration everything I said as a Vietnamese person that knows how Vietnamese food should taste. My reviews are honest. When it was delicious you saw my original review. Now something drastically has changed and I hope you guys figure it out and fast.
