    Condiment bar

    Food here is delicious. The location is somewhat hard to find because the small and blends in with the background. It's to the left of a boba shop. You can make your own bowl, sandwich, or choose from their favorites. The three in my party chose from their favorites. Staff is very friendly, it's easy to order at the counter and they bring your food to you in to go co toners then you can add your own condiments and toppings. I had the Chapter Two (noodle story, punny) with garlic shrimp. At first it looked kind of small until I started eating it and couldn't finish my bowl. All of the ingredients were very fresh and delicious. I added sesame seeds, friend onion and peanuts to my bowl since they are just always my favorites. My husband had the bahn mi sandwich and he said the pork was really tasty with really fresh bread. My daughter had Chapter Three which is chicken curry with noodles. Said it wasn't spicy but had lots of flavor. Served with fresh veggies on the side. Food was prepared and delivered quickly. Seems like they do a lot of take out and do it well. We were in Temecula for a swim meet and it was a great way to finish the weekend. Will definitely bookmark it for the future.

    Pho and chapter 3
    Monica R.

    Service was okay not the greatest but the flavor of chapter 3 was good spicy but not too spicy where it over powers the noodles. The pho was okay not hot enough.

    Nice place

    This place has quickly become our favorite noodle restaurant. We have been here several times now and the service and food are always amazing. Fresh vegetables and flavorful proteins make each dish a new STORY. The interior ambience is relaxing. If you happen to be in Temecula, stop by and give them a try. I highly recommend the Udon noodles or Banh Mi sandwich.

    This place uses some of the freshest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Also, they have the best crab rangoons!! The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. I also appreciate how clean and spacious the restaurant is. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

    Somewhat of a long wait for food but the wait is definitely worth it. Hot and delicious. Casual atmosphere in a very clean establishment. I really like the fact that you get served in to go containers. Makes it so much easier to just ask for a lid and take your food home if you can't finish. They do give you a lot of food so I think that's a definite plus for this restaurant. I do wish they had a soda machine with The ability to refill. However, you can buy cans of soda and I'm sure they have ice and a cup if you request it. I like the fact that you can build your own meal if you don't want the pre-selected ones. Each time I come back I am trying something new. The only problem I have ever had is that the chicken meat was breast meat and a little dry but I haven't tried it since so I'm not sure if it has changed. The pictures probably tell it all and we will be back again and again. I hope the best of success for what seems to be a small, family-owned business.

    Still one of my favorite meals I've had in Temecula! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. I ordered the same thing as last time, but it was still just as delicious. The garlic shrimp is so flavorful and the tiger sauce is perfection. The veggies are so fresh and the rice noodles make it feel like a lighter meal. I did try an order of the crab rangoons and they were so good! The flavor of the cream cheese and the dipping sauce was a great pairing. I hope to branch out next time I visit, because I really want to try a banh mi!

    Just minutes from my house and I finally made it here!! The place has a cool vibe, nicely decorated, clean, inviting, we were greeted immediately. The aroma of lemongrass beef cooking, was mouth watering!!! Lots of great options, dry bowls, soups and appetizers....great noodle selection and toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back to try out the different bowl options, pho was delicious.

    If you want a friggan delicious meal. You've come to the right place. I personally recommend Chapter 3 on the menu. With Udon and Lemon Grass Beef with extra Boo Choi. You shan't be disappointed. Shant I say!

    I want to love this place as it's independently owned, but unfortunately the food was just ok. I ordered their Bahn Mai with lemongrass beef. The beef was good with flavor but the rest of sandwich was ehhhhhh...the bread needs to be fresh with a crisp as well as the herbs and vegetables. The vegetables did not taste fresh, were they from a prepared bag? The vegetable preparation is not in line with usual bahn mai sandwiches: which is critical to the overall sandwich. The soup was better/ the flavoring was good. Price is not bad for the food. Service was good: friendly Ambiance: the dining area decor was basic but clean. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant in the lot

    Bbq Pork banh mi is the best!
    Myrine S.

    Love their bbq pork banh mi! This is my first review but I've eaten here a handful of times and I've only ordered the pork and chicken banh mi. It's that good! Generous amount of grilled meat, warm toasted baguette with healthy veggies. Ask for the jalapeños on the side if you don't want it too spicy. Love that it is made to order. Appreciate the fresh, quality ingredients.

    Always enjoy the food here. The bbq pork was tender and flavorful. Good portion size. Lots of condiments to choose from. They"ve added to tables for outside seating which was nice as it does tend to get Smokey inside from the fresh grilling going on .

    10/10 so good. Fresh ingredients! Owners are always here, everyone is super helpful and friendly, and I love how clean the space is. The meat quality is good! I can't stand getting chunks of fat in my food and they really deliver on quality and flavorful proteins! They also don't add in MSG which is super hard to find and 100% appreciated! We came back again 2 days after our first visit because we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    As someone who is a huge BIGGG BACKER, honestly, this place was amazing. No complaints at all. We got the beef bowl and the red curry and both were amazing. The flavor was top tier. Def going to be a frequent spot for us

    Should we make a reservation (looking at 6:00 p.m.) or is there enough seating?

    It's fast casual, you order at the counter and seat yourself. They don't have reservations but there is usually a table or two open when I've been there.

    Do you have Vegan options?

    They have vegetarian for sure. If you build your own bowl yes but the chapters or premade ones are not.

He repeatedly told us to keep our kids quiet, including times when they weren't even being loud or disruptive. It became incredibly uncomfortable and honestly ridiculous. What made it even stranger was that the other staff members seemed just as confused as we were about why he kept behaving this way. So I want to be clear: this review is mainly about our experience with this particular waiter, because the rest of the staff did not seem to have an issue with us or our children. Then another couple walked in with a child who was completely quiet, and this SAME waiter still felt the need to say something to them about their child. That confirmed for us that the problem wasn't our kids being disruptive, he clearly had some kind of issue with children being in the restaurant at all. I'm not sure if he thinks he's working at some exclusive adults-only restaurant in Beverly Hills, but families shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable simply for bringing their children out to eat. If children are allowed in the restaurant, they should be treated like welcome guests, not like an inconvenience. It's unfortunate because one employee's attitude can completely ruin an otherwise good dining experience. Management seriously needs to address this because no family should spend their money somewhere only to be treated this way.

She did eventually move when it got busier and tables were needed. I thought that gave it a mom/pop shop feel and felt family owned but I also didn't like how they were not attentive to customers such as myself. We all ordered the same kind of pho which was house specialty that comes with just about almost everything. The pho was good. No complaints. We all ordered meat on the side along with the accompaniments of sliced onions and green onions in oil. I was surprised they generously provided us all with individual sliced onion plates. They did forget our vegetables like beansprouts and basils since they were so busy watching the game so I had to remind them. Other than that the portions are generous and the pricing is affordable. I like how they are also served in metal bowls to keep warm.

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.
