I cannot recommend this place enough! Everything I ordered was top tier delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more things from the menu. I love Korean food, so I've been to plenty of restaurants, mostly in OC/LA. So my mind is blown to have found this gem hidden in sun city of all places. I 100% plan on being a regular Fried Dumplings 10/10 Spicy cold noodles 10/10 Stir fried glass noodles 10/10 read more

So sorry that the pic doesn't show the large portion of sizzling bulgogi that came with my meal or the side of broccoli as well as the eggplant/mushroom combo...I was starving and dove in before taking a pic. I had the bulgogi lunch special and it was enough to fill me up and I'm a hungry girl so the average person should definitely walk out of here satisfied. The kimchi was amazing. It was all so flavorful. My server, Vickie was attentive and kind, she was great! While eating my lunch I got to rock out to Korean music videos playing on the TV and watch Mama of Mama's Kitchen walking around. I will definitely be back and bring my husband for a date night. KBQ is our fave. Thank you Mama for sharing your delicious food! read more

Food was good BUT Never been to a Korean restaurant that charges you for the little side after 5 bowls that have little bit of items in them. The Korean restaurants I have be to you can have all you want no fee. read more

Food is really good. There's a lot if choices you can share with family. I think its just a little bit pricey.

I really want to love this restaurant. We got 3 orders of food costed 70.00 which is normal for Korean food. However I asked for extra side waitress said it's free because we get 2. I tell wait til I try it first. Then it was good. I asked for my second set of the free side. She like no it's not free. Only 3 is. My 3rd is to go. I said please add the sides to my daughter order and she tells me it's extra. The food is good but customer service sucks. Small bowl of rice for a fish item that's 24.99 like really. These people stingy on rice that cost less then .25 cents. I can't even say I'll be back sadly read more

An amazing restaurant for Korean comfort food. My favorite here is the tofu soup and the bulgogi bibimbap. I recommend! read more

Mama's Kitchen - Rice cake, tofu soup, chicken, katsu - Korean Near Me - Menifee, California

I Read the reviews and thought I would try it. Well, I would have been better off to save 29.00 for one dinner. The dumplings were soggie and cold. The Stone veggies with meat, was like eating starfoam. I was 5 minutes away, had to wait 40 minutes after I ordered, and when I got home to eat it...it was cold! Save your money and drive a little further and get a good meal. read more

Yum!! The food is so flavorful and delicious! I highly recommend the bulgogi!! We will definitely be back!

I have been going to Orange County to have Korean food as I could not find a Korean restaurant near my home. I was very excited when I found Mama's Kitchen. My husband and I came here for dinner tonight and we were pleasantly surprised as the food was very good. Customer service was great as well. There was also the added bonus that I was able to practice speaking Korean. I will definitely come here read more

Had the tofu soup with vegetables - mild and it was delicious - large serving and good to the last Bite!!!! read more

Best KBBQ within Menifee/Sun city. Worth it to stop by! Order the bimbimpap and spicy pork bolgogi for something savory and filling. Also try their coffee! read more

I came in on a weekday around 6 and the restaurant was pretty empty. Everything was pretty clean. I do think the owners should invest in something to keep flies out because flies kept coming by and bugging us while we were eating. Food wise I'll start by saying everything was sooo overpriced. The closest Korean spot to me so if I'm craving it I will come back. I will start by saying the gimbap was very tasty. Tteokbokki had a really nice sauce, although I was expecting something a little spicier. When we ordered we didn't have a spice level option so that would be nice. The cheese on top I didn't even eat because it was so thick, it was a cheese blend and I was expecting just mozzarella like other Korean places. When we initially sat down we got banchan and everything was delicious. We asked for seconds of the potato salad and fish cake because the portions are kinda small. I ordered jjajang ramen and expected something with some homemade element but it's honestly just bland packaged ramen with cucumber I could've made at home for under 15 dollars ‍ overall might not come back. I think I'd rather drive to La to get some thing more authentic for the same price. read more

Mama's Kitchen was absolutely amazing. It was my families first time having Korean barbecue. The staff was patient with us and took the time to explain the art of eating Korean barbecue. Restaurant is in a strang location and it took us a minute to find but worth the hunt. We would definitely eat there again. Had pork short ribs, marinated chicken, and Roman. Fed 3 easily with extra to spare. A little expensive but what isn't these days. read more

I love that there is a Korean restaurant in the area!!! The food is good, the ambiance is good, and the service is good, just one thing though, it is a bit pricey for your typical Korean food. I know, inflation, etc. But the price is pretty steep for the food. The restaurant has plenty of tables and chair and can accommodate bigger parties if needed. The food is delicious and it comes out looking decent too. We were stuffed after eating everything. And for the side dishes, you can ask for them as many times as you'd like. The giant katsu was good, crispy, and flavorful, a big hit for the toddler. However, the sauce that comes with it seems more Americanized rather than the usual sweet sauce that we were used to. The sauce here is tangy and comparable to your American bbq sauce. The seafood tofu soup was delicious. Perfect for rainy cold days. And the spicy pork was sweet and delicious as well. The portion is decent, my gripe with the price is just that this would be something that we would go to for special occasions, not your typical food run durig the weekdays. read more

I can't say enough good things about the food. Every dish I got was tasty and packed with flavor. The gimbap while a little pricey, was worth it in my opinion considering the portion and ingredients. That's one thing that stood out to me, the ingredients tasted like high quality. I was insanely impressed with the marinated chicken which had nice, tender texture and once again the best flavor. The rice bowl was so good too (little tip if you want more flavor try adding that chicken in !) everything looked fresh and once again a good portion size and very filling. Overall 10/10 for the food. I also want to mention that the atmosphere was really nice. I went about two hours before closing and didn't have any trouble finding seating. I also appreciate that they don't play the music too loud so you won't have to yell to talk to friends. I got to meet who I believe is the owner who asked to make sure the food was good and she seemed like a nice lady. The food takes a little longer than usual to get to you but nothing too bad. I will definitely be coming back and telling all my friends about this place ! :)) read more

I ate here two days in a row, I had the tofu soup with dumplings both days, and just absolutely loved every moment of eating the food and the environment. One day a toddler aged child was there with the family who owns the restaurant and it was such a lovely environment to be a part of. Go, enjoy! read more

Mamas Kitchen sounds like a country style restaurant but to my surprise it was Korean BBQ restaurant. Ordered lunch special Short ribs ( the best I've had by far), loved the sides- potatoes so dang tasty, homemade kimchi, cucumbers had such a tangy spicy flavor. Fried dumplings were wonderful. Korean egg roll is an egg omelet rolled up. Tofu soup with beef short ribs. Soup had so many flavors. Stir fried glass noddles with vegetables was very fresh and savory. Spicy sauce marinated pork w/ rice mixed veggies. Lots of ingredients made it delicious. Restaurant was clean and customer service amazing. Prices are a little higher than expected but portions and quality make up. You need to try this spot! You won't be disappointed! read more

I would give zero stars if I could this place was 1. way over priced 2. food bland no flavor 3. portion size ridiculous after paying $50 for a meal appetizer and water yes water I get home to make myself something to eat..... will never come here again I thought I'd give it a try since I heard good things well those people were either the family members of the owner and or liars.... Service was the only good thing here since the lady checked on us several times but other than that I give a zero star and zero recommendation read more

Stopped by on our drive home at the end of a trip! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! Will make this a regular stop on our way home. Soooo good! read more

I've been coming here since they opened! Today for the first time, I am disappointed to say the least. Portions for a $35 a plate. Definitely now I can say overpriced, on a bed of onions that has more onions than meat. Total bill for 2 people $92. Definitely not coming back anymore. I can go to Temecula for all you can eat for $21.99 read more

Great service and food! FYI - this is not an "all-you-can-eat" Korean BBQ restaurant. The menu is modest and consists mainly of soups and platters. My husband and I shared the bulgogi plate. It sounds expensive at $29.99, but there was plenty of food for both of us. Although the menu doesn't specify, the plate included rice, a salad, and 5 small sides like you'd typically get at a KBBQ restaurant. I'm not sure what it server's name was, but she was incredibly sweet and helpful. Food came out quickly and we were full after sharing that plate. It's so great to see different kinds of restaurants arriving here in Menifee. 10/10 recommend supporting them and trying it out! read more

I enjoyed eating here. I love korean food and this place will do. They give you about 6 side dishes and will refill. People are friendly and nice. I highly recommend them. The tofu soup and kalbi were good. read more

Located in a "nostalgic" strip mall (think 1950s-60s!) off of Bradley and McCall, and, coincidentally, next to a recently opened Thai restaurant. Menu is ubiquitous of what you find in Korean family-style restaurants with katsu, tofu, pancake, noodles, and bbq. Banchans are on the minimal side consisting entirely of veggies, but all tasty. Had the seafood soondofu and kalbi. Both had good flavor. Service is still choppy, but they've only been open less than a week so forgivable. Pricing is more what you find in OC and LA sans robust side dishes. Inside is clean and open. Considering this is the only Korean restaurant in Menifee, impressed with MK! read more

I recently moved into the area and was looking for authentic Korean food but more specifically soft tofu soup. And wasn't willing to travel to Temecula for it. I ordered a combo. Let's just say the broth and fixings were made in house. The service was attentive and asked me if I needed any of the dishes explained. But I had already scoped the menu before hand. So I was ready to order. They have soju as well. I got the peach flavored. Let's just say I will be back and plan to be a regular. read more

I was skydiving this past weekend at Elsinore when I was craving Korean food and ended up driving here for it. I had my doubts as I was only used to LA K-Town Korean Food. But the place really surprised me! I had the tofu soup + galbi and my friend had a mandu soup with rice cake. There's a reason it's called mama's kitchen. Tasted like my meals back home haha. I'll be back here when I come back for my next dive. read more

My favorite Korean place in the neighborhood! The chef is super sweet, excellent service, and a clean open environment. Food is delicious, a little overpriced but I understand as it's a small business. I wish they were less stingy with the sides, as I kept having to ask to bring more (especially kimchi!) My favorite is the bulgogi combo plate with seafood jigae read more
