    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.

    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

    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!

I came here craving soup after being sick and ordered the pork soon tofu, while my wife ordered the bulgogi. The meat in both dishes was noticeably tough and difficult to chew compared to other Korean tofu restaurants we've visited. Because I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't fully taste the food, but my wife and daughter both immediately noticed that the bulgogi tasted sour. When we brought it to the staff's attention, they kindly offered to replace the meat, so we requested teriyaki chicken instead. Unfortunately, another serving of bulgogi was brought out instead. By that point, my wife and daughter had already finished eating and gone to the car, so I simply asked for it to be boxed up. After getting home, we decided to throw it away because we didn't feel comfortable taking a chance on meat that tasted off. The side dishes also didn't seem fresh, which matched what I had seen mentioned in other reviews. While I can't say for certain what caused the sour taste, it left us without confidence in the meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning on a very hot summer day, which made it uncomfortable to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. Also, the dishes were served on hot plates, but nothing arrived sizzling or boiling the way you would normally expect at a Korean tofu restaurant. I genuinely want local family-owned restaurants to succeed, which is why writing this review isn't easy. Every restaurant can have an off day, and hopefully that's what happened here. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet our expectations, and based on our experience, I'd encourage others to use their own judgment when deciding to dine here.

    The food is super delicious! This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite restaurants!read more

    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!

He mentioned there's usually a two-person minimum when it gets busy, but still got me seated right away--which I really appreciated. That's solid customer service. Service was great, meat quality was on point, and my server was super attentive the whole time. Definitely coming back.
