    Love love this place. Best Korean bbq in town!! Their beef galbi is very well marinated and the flavor is spot on. The seafood pancake is always bomb. Huge portion and it's such a homey dish!! Their tofu soup with pork never disappoints. If you haven't been here, and you like KBBQ, I highly encourage you to come here!! Service is quick and every thing is cooked to order fresh!! Let's support local business!!!

    Bibimbap with 5 banchans
    Lisa D.

    Kind of dimly lit but clean and spacious, I believe this is the only Korean cuisine restaurant within this area unless you head towards Temecula so their prices are a little on the higher end. Service was great, all the employees are very friendly and attentive. We got the tofu soup which came with a side of rice and an egg, kalguksu, bibimbap, and an order of egg rolls. Unlike most korean restaurants, only certain entrees will come with 5 banchans (side dishes) for the whole table, in our case it came with our bibimbap. Everything was really good, classic flavors. The eggrolls I believe were veggie based.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem in Menifee! We were welcomed as soon as we walked in by our server, Micah who was amazing!! Very attentive, explained the menu, and gave solid recommendations. The restaurant is clean, spacious and clearly family‑owned, which gives it a warm, homey vibe. Mama's Kitchen is the real deal. It's not an all‑you‑can‑eat or cook‑your‑own type of spot. This is true Korean home cooking, made fresh by Mama herself in the kitchen. The name couldn't be more accurate. The menu offers a good variety of different dishes, which are big enough to share between 2 people. We ordered the Japchae and the Korean short ribs (Galbi), which came with steamed rice and five small plates of banchan. The dishes were the perfect amount for my mom and me to share. Everything was delicious. The Galbi was melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender, and the Japchae was seasoned just right with bulgogi and shiitake mushrooms. The banchans definitely hit the spot. I couldn't get enough of the fish cake, shredded daikon kimchi, and cucumber kimchi. The only thing I would suggest, is the size of their banchan! Their serving size were very small amounts. This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint. Mama even came out to check on us, welcomed us personally, and even took a picture with my Mama!! Overall I was quite pleased with our food, even my pickiest critic, my mom, gave it her official Mom's Stamp of Approval, so we'll definitely be back.

    We stopped here on a road trip just off the highway. Love the homie and family owned vibe from the get go. Prices are quite high for the area more like LA prices. Katsu was listed as "giant" which was anything but that. It was large but super thin, almost felt like complaining. The mackerel was the star dish and grilled to absolute perfection and juicy, highly recommend. The rest of the dishes were pretty much just ok. A decent stop but the rating here appears too high IMHO

    Great (and authentic) food, excellent service, fun music. Food came out quickly and they were so kind about my friend and I hanging out to work on our lesson plans. Highly recommend checking them out! 5% off for leaving a review, even if it is a bad one (none of that give us 5 stars for a reward bs)

    Tofu Soup
    Amy D.

    My family and I moved here from OC a couple years ago and we frequently go back there for various reasons but we were craving Korean food after church in the area and stumbled upon this place. I'm not sure if it's because there are so many Korean food options in Orange County that this in comparison seems just okay. The food did seem a little overpriced compared to other places I've been to but I can understand that there's not really a lot of competition out here. The service was really nice! We had a couple questions about the dishes and our server made sure they were all answered. It's a nice and chill spot to go to if you're ever craving Korean food and in the area.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner today. The food was very tasty and the service was wonderful. Great experience we will be going back.

    Consistently delicious food, service, and vibe! I went out to lunch with my friends and Mama's Kitchen is a great place for catching up. Elysha was also a great server, making sure we're doing alright and our side dishes were refilled.

    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

    We're on our mini vacation in Temecula and so glad we found this place!…read more First time trying Pho Minh in Temecula, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered four different items, and not a single one disappointed--everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. 10/10 across the board! I ordered the áp chảo, thinking it would be soft, stir-fried rice noodles, but it actually came with deep-fried crispy noodles. Our server was so kind and took the time to explain it to us. Even better, they brought out an extra side of soft noodles for our daughters. Such a thoughtful gesture and truly appreciated! Our toddler ended up LOVING the crunchy noodles--and honestly, so did we! This was my first time having áp chảo this way, and it was surprisingly delicious. Definitely something I'll be craving again! The restaurant is also spacious, clean, and has plenty of comfortable seating, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend giving Pho Minh a try! We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu when we're in town!

When we came here it was during the FIFA World Cup so the owners and workers weren't providing their best customer service since all their attentions were to the tv. What seemed to be the owner was even yelling, shouting, then cheering loudly sitting the middle table in the midst of customers eating. 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.

It would be good to have some clear directions on the website regarding the location. Inside the restaurant was clean and pleasant. I was immediately greeted when I entered and the order was ready so there was no wait. The 2-star rating is due to the food and the price of the food, as well as the plating of the food. We ordered an order of yellow curry with white rice and the spicy Thai basil chicken with white rice. Both were ordered as entrees and were $17 each. The curry was delicious and portion was as expected. The Thai basil chicken dish left a lot to be desired. Not only was it plated together (like a lunch portion option), but for what was provided, we expected to get more for the price. They combined the Thai basil chicken and the rice in the same dish along with a few cucumbers and there just wasn't much in the container. In addition, because they plated the rice with the chicken, all of the sauce from the chicken was soaked up by the rice, which in turn made the chicken seem extremely dry. We have ordered this same dish from various places from San Diego to Riverside and have never had the rice automaticalllu combined with the chicken. Based on what was provided, the cost should have been around $10 or similar to a lunch special since that is basically what was provided. Pic shows the combined bowl minus the two cucumber slices that were there as a filler. And the rice moved around to look for any extra juice.
