    I usually don't write reviews but I was so pleasantly surprised at this place. Immediately walking in, the server was really busy but very attentive and really nice. The food is a bit on the pricier side but that's expected for this type of restaurant. Food was a 9.5/10, felt like a home cooked Korean meal and the sides were generous and yummy. Would highly recommended the tofu soup and the spicy pork belly dish with kimchi, both were 10/10!! I'm not sure if the lady that cooked was the owner but it looked like she had taken the time to come out and check on some of the elderly tables which I thought was so sweet. Very happy about this place, I could see myself as a regular here

    Drove from Moreno Valley to try this restaurant recommended by my sister and it was so delicious. We ordered bulgogi, beef ribs, seafood pancake, spicy rice cakes with ramen, rolled eggs, kimchi fried rice, bibimbap and boneless chicken wings. The side dishes were fresh and tasted delicious. Everything has a good flavor, I am so happy to find a Korean restaurant that serves fresh food.

    Food here is alright, but not the best i've ever tried. The main issue here is quality and quantity. The Galabi ribs are not washed enough so when you eat close to the bone , you just get tiny pieces of bone all in your mouth. I purchased three things for $96 and there was hardly any meat! You'd expect the biggest portion of the plate to be meat especially if it was $45. "salad" is just chopped lettuce... I love Korean food but just drive to temecula! Like I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around how much they are charging for such a small amount of food.

    The food here is delicious! My kids go nuts for their spam fried rice. The bulgogi is so flavorful and a great portion for two people to share. The banchan is all so good and the kimchi is to die for! We've been here multiple times and have ordered delivery and are always so happy with the food. Their staff is so lovely and the service is always top notch.

    Highly recommend coming here if you're craving Korean food. Everything was delicious! Service was great! Came here in the middle of the week so there was no wait and the place was nice and calm.

    Assorted Seafood Pancake ($25)

    The food was pretty good, matched our expectations. However, the price of the meals and service is why I have to give this a 3/5. The lady serving us did not refill our waters and did not explain the 5 sides per table if an entree was ordered. There were 5 of us and yet we get the same amount of sides as a two person table. On top of that, the prices are way too much. $25 is the average price for the entrees. Ambiance was clean. Unfortunately, will not come again.

    Abigail was the server and really effective and fast. Loved the shrimp tempura but the fried corn was awesome

    Space: Plenty of parking and space for parties of 5+ or more. A very casual environment for those looking to eat with friends or recover from a night out. Service: I would say once again standard customer service (expect nice and able to check-in with your party). Dishes: My party ordered the Grilled Mackerel, Spam Fried Rice, and Spicy Cold Noodle. I would give the Mackerel and Cole Noodle a 10/10. They are both refreshing and provide distinct tastes to anyone that needs a change in their daily life. The spam fried rice was a bit more on the oily side, but for anyone who appreciates a good rice dish this would be perfect for you. Eating these dishes between two people if enough to feel satisfied. Side Dishes: If you wanted to get a refill on side dishes, only (2) of the (5) are free. You have to pay extra for any additional refills. Price: From Korean restaurant standards, some items on the menu are more expensive than others. If you want a discount, bring cash because it'll be a 5% discount off your total. If you're in the area, want any semblance of Asian food, and don't care about pricing, give this place a try.

    Side dishes... The best Kimchi
    Gia C.

    This is our second time at Mama's Kitchen and like always they didn't disappoint. Food is made to order and fresh and delicious. The Gimbap was amazing and the Kimchi is so crunchy and flavorful. Service was on point, the waitress was so nice. The place is clean and very quiet. Highly recommended!!!!

    The service was good, she checked on us often. The food was mixed, the soup was delicious and the sides overall were pretty good, the flavors were a little off on some and the bibimbap was just ok. Not much flavor at all. But overall it was a good meal and we will have to try something different next time.

If you need or are curious about their gluten-free focaccia bread, do NOT hesitate to order it! It's SOOOOO good! I almost prefer it over the regular focaccia bread; hard to say, though, because they are both delicious. We recently tried their Ahi Tuna bowl as well, and that was pretty good! Can't beat their sandwiches, honestly, but it was a nice, refreshing change of pace. The drinks they have are also wonderful. Not your typical Coke or Pepsi products. Another refreshing change of pace! Great flavors to choose from, and you have to try their Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca! Delicious! It's perfectly sweetened without being too much!

I ordered the salmon bowl which came with focaccia bread. I was expecting a bit more of a bowl for the price. The bowl was good, but the bread seemed a little bland. I did appreciate the fact that the employees were polite and really kept the place clean. The ingredients in the bowl were fresh, and the salmon tasted fresh as well. I would have given 4 stars if there was more food provided. I would definitely come back and try more items on the menu. One tip is that the parking lot is shared by a few other food places, and the parking lot can get full. If you can get there before the lunch or dinner rush then you will not have to walk too far.

Now here's the part that deserves a slow clap: after a 45-minute drive home in the rain, that pho broth was still steaming like it had something to prove!!! One sip and I swear it put on Barry White and slow-danced across my soul!! Deep, rich, pure bone broth goodness, none of that fish sauce sneak attack. Just cozy, beefy perfection!!!

Almost every restaurant claims they can "make it vegan," but still uses oyster sauce or fish sauce hidden in the base. Pho' Neighbors is the only place around that genuinely gets it right. They make all of their sauces from scratch, which means they can truly leave out non-vegan ingredients without compromising flavor. That alone sets them apart -- but the food itself is incredible. The flavors are deep, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared, not watered down or altered as an afterthought, and the portions are large. It's rare to find a restaurant that is both transparent and accommodating without making vegans feel like a burden. The staff is knowledgeable, respectful, and happy to explain what's in their dishes -- which builds a level of trust you don't often find. They also have exceptions meaty options. My husband is an extremely picky eater but he has never been disappointed by a dish from Pho' Neighbors. They are doing it right, and it shows in every bite. The employees who work here are passionate about their food, compassionate with their customers, and truly go above and beyond. Amazing people making amazing food! When I moved here from living in OC & working in LA I was so disappointed by the lack of authentic restaurants. My palate was accustomed to flavorful, unique spices. It took me some time to find the right spot, but this definitely is it! Highly recommend -- and deeply appreciate -- this restaurant.

The broth was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with that classic Thai coconut flavor. It was easily one of the best Tom Kha soups I've had. The fresh spring rolls were also beautifully presented and tasted so fresh. You could tell the ingredients were high quality and freshly made. We also ordered the beef Pad See Ew, and it was SO good!! the noodles were perfectly cooked and the flavor was spot on. On top of the food, the customer service was excellent. Our server was incredibly nice, attentive, and very helpful with recommendations. She made the whole experience even better.

This was on a Saturday. -Fried Rice had flavor, but was on the pricier side. -Pad thai noodles were on the softer/mushier side when we started eating them at home. -The Sampler, had egg rolls that lacked in filling. Rangoons tasted good. Calamari was oily when you bit into it. -The Eggplant dish we ordered had more beef than the eggplant itself, only a few pieces of it sadly. Also on the pricier side for the portion. -Tom Kha soup was $10 for a small portion, I definitely think it can be improved, even though it tasted alright.

So far, I haven't found it. Typically I order Bento Box Combinations, and sometimes specialty rolls. Sushi is a matter of personal taste, and I gave Yoshiharu Ramen a three overall for "OKAY". Don't get me wrong, I ate everything they served me, and it was all right. It just didn't WOW me. The restaurant is clean and looks nice. The service was good and my food was okay. There were a few minor things that annoyed me, but isn't it the little things that differentiate places that are great versus ones that are just good or okay? I ordered a diet coke, and they had no diet available. The miso soup (not pictured) that came with the meal was piping hot, but the flavor was not as good as others I have had. When they brought my chicken bento box, which included California Roll, there was no wasabi or ginger. I had to ask the waitress for wasabi, and then she said, "You want wasabi?" as if that was something unusual. Finally, my favorite sushi places have a list of items to choose from for their bento box. They may list 8 or 10 items and ask you to pick 2 or 3. At my other places I might choose, chicken and beef and a spicy tuna roll (vs California roll). Then you get those plus the soup, salad, etc. At Yoshiharu Ramen, it is a set list of items. You only get to pick a meat in the bento box (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, etc.) Their other sushi or ramen may be terrific. So if you are nearby and want sushi or ramen, don't let me dissuade you. The reason I take the time to write a detailed review is so readers can understand MY criteria and why for me, this restaurant is okay, just not a 4 or 5 on my chart.
