    My family and I dined here for lunch on a Sunday. We were celebrating my mom's birthday and wanted to try this place out after seeing the positive reviews on Yelp. While our server was very kind, we noticed that the restaurant was understaffed and it was difficult at times to flag down our server. They only allow you to order one meat at a time, so the dining experience can feel slow and halted when you are waiting for the next meat to arrive. The short rib and bulgogi were our favorites, both well seasoned and juicy, followed by the brisket. I also felt that the side dishes were delicious (especially the fish cakes, Mac salad and spicy cucumber), but again, we had to wait to flag down our server for refills. We also were told that their chef was on leave, so we were unable to try the spicy tofu soup, which my family member was looking forward to. As others have shared, the ventilation could be improved upon since it gets quite smoky. All in all, the meat quality is delicious, and they have the potential of being even better if they improve on the ventilation and add more staff.

    Truly a great environment! Employees were very respectful and friendly throughout the whole dinner. Multiple employees constantly checking up on us to see if we needed anything. Food was good and would come again.

    This is our first time to this place and it's been an amazing experience. The food was so tasty . The service is top notch . Our server J.R. Helped us thru the whole process . Spices grill temp what to order first to have the best night. The ambiance was great , great music and very clean. Thanks for making this a great experience for my daughter's 14th bday. We will comeback for sure !!!!

    Alcohol is a winner with KBBQ.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

So the first thing that bothered me is there is a lot of people waiting outside so it's loud and when they call you to be seated they aren't loud enough so we missed our call after waiting a bit i checked in to find out! 2nd thing Food was not very warm felt like it was sitting a bit so some of our food was room temperature. Food tasted ok. But Portions and cuts were good. Then we went to eat at 630 which is peak dinner time they were already out of baked potatoes and pastrami and some other item. Their mashed potatoes tasted gritty like if they where box mashed potatoes which makes sense with them being out of potatoes. 3rd thing which is their "New Policy" That groups of 6 or more it has to be paid on one card and can Not be split in multiple payments not even split cash and card! So that to me makes absolutely no sense and there are no signs stating this anywhere nor on their site. So overall this place is ok and not really worth what we paid. Definitely won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place to friends.

And I have to admit 10 years later that is still the case. I went to a new location closer to LA this time in Temecula so I was a little bit weary. However, it did not disappoint it was as good as I remembered. The meat was juicy and falling off the bone and combined with their tangy sauce it was amazing. Service was also great the cashier gave us some suggestions and we enjoyed our sides as well. My favorite side were the onion rings. The ambiance is great too very relaxed because you order at the counter then find yourself a seat. (They also have a full service section, but not really necessary to me since waitresses still walk around to ask if you need anything). Overall this place has great food and service so would recommend!

Might be worth another try.
