Mural of Guam's ancient latte stones, or simply latte, are a modern symbol of Chamorro strength and identity.
Amy C.

Thursday, 3-12-2026: I met up here with a dear friend. We both wanted to try the food here since my friend is Guamanian. The owner Lou welcomed us in. The eatery is small & clean and exuded island vibes. They also have merchandise for sale. They have a nice menu list comprised of a variety of Guamanian and Hawaiian fare. It was difficult to decide but I eventually chose the Chicken Teriyaki small plate & my friend ordered the Chamorro Chicken small plate. It wasn't long before our meals were ready. We both enjoyed our meals. The chicken was tender & so flavorful. I loved my macaroni salad & she loved her red rice & potato salad. The owners, who are sisters were so friendly & engaging. Lou runs the counter while her sister Maria cooks all the marvelous meals. We look forward to returning. I will try the Guamanian food next time! Thanks to my sweet friend for treating me today!

I'm very happy to have another option for Hawaiian comfort food here in Temecula. I came for the Lau Lau and Kailua pork and cabbage. It was pretty good! Their combo meal includes both, plus rice and Mac salad (I asked for potato salad instead). The Lau Lau is from Hawaii, steamed up and delicious! The Kailua pork is their own, made fresh by the owner. Mannge's menu is a fusion of Hawaiian and Guam flavors. Both menus describe mouth watering combo plates. I will definitely be back to try the Guam side of the menu! There are several tables for onsite dining, best for a small group of 2-4 people. They display and sell island inspired jewelry, bags, snacks and a few clothing items. You will find Hawaiian Sun and Deric's (Red Pine Cafe) homemade Kim Chee and pickled cucumbers in the refrigerator. Tip: post a review on google or yelp and get a free drink or side with your next meal. This is a very friendly family owned business. Be sure to check them out!

Hawaiian menu

I'm always on the hunt for Guam grub! Mannge Town Cafe was not on my radar, but one of my friends told me about this spot as I was in Temecula for a wedding! As it was our first time here and we were hungry, we ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage and Chamorro Fiesta Plate to share. Both were generous portions and we happily divulged! The Chamorro Fiesta plate inlcuded ribs, chicken, red rice and potato salad. The Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage inlcuded rice and mac salad. Were they the best renditions of those dishes? Not necessarily, but good enough for me! I would definitely come back here to get some island grub while in Temecula!

Mini beef plate
Ms. M.

I haven't had Chamorro food in quite some time, and there was a restaurant in San Diego that I used to really enjoy, so when this location appeared on my Yelp feed, I was excited to try it. I ordered a small beef plate with macaroni salad and red rice. There is a $1.50 upcharge for the red rice, and I believe customers should have the option to choose between white or red rice without an additional charge. I paid $20 for a small plate, which didn't include much food. Unfortunately, the beef was not tender, and the marinade and seasoning were not very noticeable. I was hoping to enjoy this meal more, but it fell short of expectations. However, I am open to giving this restaurant another try, as I understand that restaurants can have off days.

Ribs and chicken, rice and potato salad
Ally C.

I have fond memories of my other mom's Guamanian dishes, and have learned from her how to make many of them like kelaguen, red rice and fina denne. So when I saw a post about this new eatery I knew I had to try it out. The location is small, but it does the trick. I was greeted immediately from the ladies in the kitchen...felt welcoming, like going into someone's home. The menu has great options, for Guamanian and Island food. Ordered a couple of meat plates, one with galbi beef ribs, with sides of red rice and mac salad. The other was pork ribs, with island chicken , red rice and potato salad. All were delicious, the meats were perfect, sides were too. I wish the denne was a little spicier, or at least had that as an option. Will definitely be back for those platters!!!

Mixed 2 item combo
Tony M.

I called in a mixed plate order and had a great experience with the staff -- everyone was very friendly, and my order was ready on time. The food tasted good, but I was disappointed by the portion size of the chicken and beef. For over $20, I expected a much more generous serving, especially for a mixed plate. Overall, solid service and good flavor, but the value didn't quite match the price for me. I'd consider returning if the portion sizes improved.

This place serves food from Guam which I haven't tried, they also have Hawaiian as well. I came here after staying at the casino nearby and wanted to try a new place. I wanted to try their Kelaguen bowl ($16.99) which consists of chopped cooked chicken with strong lemon forward flavor. It came with red rice and potato salad. The Kelaguen was very lemony which I liked and the sides were a bit bland. The staff was nice and the place was clean.

Mix Plate - 3 Choice
Jeremy C.

First time here. Friendly atmosphere. A good amount of seats. There was jewelry for sale. They also had some snack items to purchase. 3 choice combo we got was garlic chicken, beef teri, and coconut shrimp. Flavoring was good on the plate. Mac Salad was a little dry but it's fine. Lau Lau plate was the same, I didn't find any fish in mine but there was a lot of leaves in mine. Pork was dry, maybe cause there I couldn't find the fish. Flavor was still good. Just needed to add a little sea salt. I wish the plates already came with red rice though. Other than that, it is a good place, would come back to try other things.

Chicken teriyaki bowl (mini) with Mac salad

Tried out this spot since it's gotten some buzz. I'm so happy we are getting some small owned businesses in the area, I'm so over the fast food chains. I feel like this spot gave me home/family vibes. Like a close aunt/uncle cooked me a special meal. I enjoyed it so very much. The Staff was super friendly and the shop was nice and clean. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Please support these businesses!

Mannge Town Cafe is a hidden gem offering authentic island eats from Chamorro and Hawaiian cuisine. We stopped by after hearing about this place through a coworker who missed food from home. I ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage, and it hit the spot 4.5/5. The kalua pork and cabbage reminded me of my father's cooking. I wished the Lau Lau was bigger, but the owner said it's sourced from Hawaii so it makes sense store-bought ones always leave you wanting for more. My partner ordered the chicken kelaguen and it's my first time having it. It reminded me of tuna salad but with chicken meat instead. A pricier plate lunch place ($20+) but that's because a lot of the ingredients are sourced out of state. Would definitely like to come back if I have island cravings!

Nice lady at the counter taking orders and patiently explaining the difference in styles, Chamorro vs Hawaiian. I had the garlic chicken. What an explosion in flavors! Tempered with the rice it was the perfect combination. This will be a regular stop for me in the future.

FIRST TIME here and we are so happy we found a good HAWAIIAN place with good LOCO MOCO! The FIESTA PLATE: 3/5 The CHICKEN was a bit DRY and chewy. The rice was not bad if eaten with some sauce. The Mac salad was bland. The LOCO MOCO: 5/5 It's really hard to find a good Loco Moco over here in Cali. Makes me want to go visit Hawaii again but, the gravy here was pretty good. SERVICE: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for POPPING up here in Temecula! ROCK ON MANNGE TOWN CAFE!

See all

Picked up to go from this place over the weekend…read more Several plates of delicious Hawaiian Food. Bbq and chicken katsu as well as Mac salad. Large portions meant to be shared. The place was clean and bright with lots of parking. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Kids loved the food and wanted more.

I'm me bottle of soy sauce is not enough to go around when you have multiple groups dining in. We had to keep asking for soy sauce and each time we were told it was next to the soda machine, when it was NOT. The Moco Loco.... What even is that? My 13 year old grandson ordered it and couldn't eat it. His mom tried it and couldn't figure it out either. All I had to do was taste the brown gravy and I could see why they couldn't eat it. If it were me, I would've returned it for something better. LOL! It was horrible. We wanted to get away from paying high buffet prices ($27 per person) but this was just as pricey. I also didn't want to deal with a crowd, which obviously there were no crowds. 5 pm on a Saturday All in all, I would give the Katsu plates 5 stars but that's about it. Nobody in that restaurant talks to you, each other or even smiles.... It's a sad place. The feeling is doom. Not for me anymore but we had been regulars awhile back. It's just not a good vibe.

I ordered a lunch combo plate and it was really good value for the money. There was enough food for about six people in this one box and I ordered the scallops and the Kahlúa pork. The scallops were good, although there was a lot of breading for a pretty small scallop. The Kalua pork was good, but I felt like it made me needed some barbecue sauce which I requested, but I'm not sure if they don't have it at that restaurant overall the food was really yummy and I also loved the rice and the Mac salad. I'm not able to touch on the ambience of the actual restaurant because I got food delivered however I was really impressed with the overall service of how quickly this was prepared and delivered to me.

I was really excited to try Big Islands in Murrieta because we were craving some island flavors,…read morebut unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We ordered the teriyaki chicken, and sadly, it was very bland with no real flavor. The garlic shrimp I got was also dry and had no sauce, which made it hard to enjoy. Our kids didn't really want to eat their meals either, which was a bummer because we had high hopes for a fun, flavorful family dinner. The location is a bit awkward, tucked in a corner and across the street from the main entrance, and the cleanliness of the restaurant could definitely be improved. I'm sad to say that the food quality just wasn't up to our standards, and unfortunately, we won't be returning. I hope the restaurant can take this feedback and make some improvements because the concept and menu have a lot of potential.
