Kathryn A.

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.

Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Stir Fried Rice Cakes, Spam Fried Rice
Cairo S.

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.

$18 boneless wings

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.

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.

Marinated chicken

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

Inside

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!!!!

Menu

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.

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!

While the orange chicken was amazing, nothing compares to Isaiah our server. Never had a drink…read morerefilled so fast in my life. I want him to be my therapist the way he made me feel seen, understood, and quite frankly, i was mesmerized just looking at him. He even answered all our questions about the fish tank. The music was great. We were there on a Saturday evening and it was nice and quiet. Fate of the universe on the line. One server. One chance to make my dining experience incredible... I WANT ISAIAH!!! Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if Isaiah had all the answers. He prolly has the arc of the covenant in his basement or something. Or he discovered Atlantis in his spare time. If he doesn't rule the world one day, there's zero hope for the rest of us. I feel blessed to have met Isaiah. They asked if it was possible. Isaiah said watch. Reality checked in. Isaiah rewrote the rules. They said aim high. Isaiah adjusted the sky. History took notes when Isaiah walked in. Isaiah doesn't chase destiny -- it waits for him. The plan changed when Isaiah showed up. Chaos tried Isaiah. Chaos lost. They looked for limits. Isaiah removed them. God said let there be light. He said nah, dim it--I'm sleeping. He's built different. Manufacturer unknown. The main character logged on when Isaiah was born. They checked the rulebook. Isaiah's was the author. Fate tried to humble Isaiah. Didn't work. Even Isaiah's shadow has confidence. So yah, my experience at JJ sushi & chinese cuisine, (should be Isaiah's sushi & chinese cuisine) was perfect.

NEW REFRIGERATED ITEMS: I saw crawfish, duck, boiled tea eggs, fresh milk tea, seaweed salad, cold noodles, etc. I really like cold sesame noodles... You will find most items you need for Hotpot, cooking, snacks and herbal medicine... I HIGHLY recommend stopping by!! KEEP ROCKN BEST WEI CHINESE MARKET!!!!!
