    Spicy Pork Rice Bowl
    Diana L.

    With limited options for Korean food, I am thankful every time I come to Matna the food is consistently good. On this visit, I got the spicy brisket ramen and spicy garlic KFC. Both were delicious! Considering the price, the ramen portion was a bit small, it felt more like a snack size rather than a meal. There also wasn't a lot of brisket either. Good thing I also got the KFC which helped me feel satiated. I did notice they now offer bingsoo (Korean shaved ice). It looked very tempting, but the price did give me a little sticker shock so that will have to be a treat for next time!

    Dol Sot Bibimbap, mango ade, and beef "kimbob"
    Ameer E.

    Parking: This restaurant is within a large parking lot next to a Harbor Freight and other small businesses. Parking was ample and not a problem to find. Ambiance: The interior of the restaurant is open and filled with bright decor, K-pop playing. It felt a bit futuristic almost with the mix of warmth with the painted yellow walls. Food: They have a decent menu of Korean staples. The first red flag was that on their menu they spell "kimbap" (or gimbap) as "kimbob"...First impression- I'm scared. We got the beef "kimbob", Dol Sot Bibimbap, and mango ade. The food looked very visually appealing but once eating, there was such a strong flavor of ultra-processed, burnt oil like vegetable or canola that coated the mouth unpleasantly and did not allow for any flavors to come through. I know a brush over of sesame oil a kimbap is standard, but to be clear- that was NOT sesame oil. This flavor was also in the bibimbap. The beef "kimbob" itself was rolled and stuffed well, but it lacked flavor and really needed gochujang or soy sauce to make it more enjoyable. The beef bibimbap didn't have the classic crisp bottom that is typical/traditional with the stone pot, the white on the egg was still a bit uncooked (as clearly seen in the photo) and 75% of it was rice. The mango-ade was quite sweet and lightly sparkling, and it helped balance the meal by cutting through the heavy oily aftertaste from the food. Service: The worker taking our order was patient and gave us plenty of time to look through the menu and decide on our selections. After ordering we found a table in the open dining area, the food was served to us within a reasonable amount of time. Everything including utensils and water was self service. Overall: Considering the prices and the quality of the food we received, the meal did not feel worth the cost. While the presentation was appealing and portions were decent, the overwhelming burn oil flavor and the bibimbap being 75% rice took away from the meal and made the food feel low quality and not worth the price we paid. Came in: 3/13/26

    I still dream about their Korean fried chicken it was so good! I can in having no clue what to order and I was glad I took Judy's recommendation! Pairing the chicken with the rice was a perfect balance of tang and sweetness. Their mango ade was also so delicious! I can't wait for my next visit to take some drinks back home! I can't wait for my next visit!

    Japchae

    When you come in, you are greeted right away and told if you need any help, let them know. Plenty of dining space, and tables are spread out very good. There are 5 tables of two, and 5 tables for four. Can easily rearrange for bigger groups as well. Pricing seems quite high. We ordered a few dishes to try. We ordered the KFC, which is the Korean Fried Chicken. Japchae, which is the Glass noodles. Vegetable Kimbob, which is like a sushi roll, but the Korean one with just the veggies inside. The Kimbob came out first, and it came with a great strong smell of sesame oil. It tasted much better though, and the smell of sesame did not overpower it. It had a good balance. The KFC and japchae came out momentarily after. All of the food is made fresh, therefore, the KFC was super hot! Once it cooled down, it was pretty good, nice and crispy. The japchae was decent, nothing to wow over. Too much flavor and moisture. Usually japchae is pretty dry but flavorful. This was too much seasoning/flavor. All in all, not bad. Try it if you want, it's ok for its price.

    Bingsoo

    Only tried the bingsoo but it was great! Coming back here for sure, the staff were very welcoming and personable.

    Bulgogi Rice bowl  & strawberry matcha ( mixed)
    Jenny L.

    As much as it hurts me , I can't gatekeep this place. It's a small place but the food in there is insane. I've went in for a matcha ( which was amazing btw) and realized there was much more to this restaurant. It's a family owned restaurant, you can tell everything on the menu was chosen carefully. I've had two of the rice bowls - bulgogi and chicken bowl and both were amazing.

    Rose udon and soy garlic wings
    Amanda L.

    Yum. I'd be here every week if I lived nearby. This is a clean and brightly lit restaurant nestled in the corner of the mall. There's ample parking so don't worry about that. They serve both traditional and fusion Korean food along with a variety of delicious drinks and bingsoo. This is a great place for a snack, dessert, a drink, or a full fledged meal. Order at the kiosk or at the counter. Service is efficient and food comes out quickly. The flavors are all on point. Soy garlic chicken wings are very crunchy and moist, rose udon with shrimp was flavorful though the noodles could be more al dente, and the kimbap is expertly wrapped with clean delicious flavors. I ate the leftovers next day by pan frying it in egg wash and it was even more delicious. I really enjoyed the pandan cloud drink and the green grape ade This is a great casual place for a meal. I'm looking forward to trying their dry noodles next time.

    It is my second time here and it tasted just as good as I remembered. Staff up front were very friendly and provided amazing service! I had their coconut pamda which was very delicious and sweet. Their mango lemonade was very refreshing and just as sweet so no complain there. I am not a fan of kimchi but this kimchi fried rice is delicious. It has a spicy kick to it and with the egg on top it all pairs and melts perfectly. They have lovely decor inside and I love the yellow walls as it tends to brighten up the restaurant.

    Another great Korean option in the Ventura county area with some delicious food. This is a casual sit down restaurant where you order at the register and then food is brought to you. This venue has indoor seating only. So this is more a leave your dog at home kind of deal. Tables are nice and big - family friendly. Staff were also pretty nice and helpful when I had some questions. There is also a restroom at this restaurant so no fretting here. Parking situation: Plaza parking lot - super easy and not really crowded. Top recommended food: soy garlic k-fried chicken The pork cutlet special was also a good second, and is definitely big enough to share among 2 people. Will also note though, the food is a little pricier for what it is.

    I recently tried Matna, and overall the experience was just okay. The food wasn't bad, but the prices felt way too high for what you get. I ordered the bibimbap and some wings. The bibimbap was very standard -- nothing special or memorable about it. It tasted like a typical Korean bibimbap you can get at many other places, but here it was priced at $12.75, while I've seen similar dishes at other restaurants for under $8. The wings were the same story. A small portion of five wings costs $12.99, and while they tasted fine, they were just ordinary Korean fried wings. Nothing about them really stood out to justify the price. Overall, the food is decent, but there's nothing unique or special that makes the higher prices make sense. In my opinion, the only thing that stands out about this restaurant is that it's overpriced for what it offers.

    ~ KOREAN STREET FOOD HAVEN IN THE 805 ~ Matna is a small but mighty spot serving up Korean street food and the ultimate nostalgic bites. Walking in, the mood has youthful energy but still feels personal, like you're stepping into someone's family kitchen. Everything's made to order, the vibes are upbeat, and the drinks are as thoughtfully crafted as the food. Some of my favs from the menu: the crispy soy garlic fried chicken, cold spicy noodles, and comforting bowls like tteokbokki and sundubu. But honestly, every dish hits, whether it's the flavorful veggie kimbap, the rich ramen, or that bowl of dry noodles waiting to be mixed. This is the kind of place where every bite makes you pause and go, "Wait, this is SO good." For drinks, I'm loving the strawberry matcha and grape aid. Matna doesn't just serve food, it stirs memory. It's a reminder that the best meals don't need fuss or flash. Just intention, warmth, and flavor you can feel in your bones. That said, prices are a bit above casual, but worth it for quality, especially when you're craving a real, satisfying meal made with care. *HOT TIP: There's a digital screen where you can place your order!

    Korean Dry Noodles
    Mikey C.

    One bite of this Korean Fried Chicken and I knew I had made a big mistake. KFC comes in two sizes, 5 piece and 10 piece. I ordered the 5 piece. Big mistake! That chicken is so good I thought about going back up to the counter and ordering another five pieces. But in the end I didn't, because we ordered additional items. We got the Soy Garlic version of their KFC. Solid choice. Really meaty wings, 3 flats and 2 drums. Crispy AF. Squirted a little sriracha on mine. Got damn those wings are good! Just as we finished the first of those wings, the Vegetable Kimbap we ordered came to the table. I love the vegetable kimbap here. Really fresh tasting veggies, beautiful roll. Love the vegetable version but next time I'm going to try the Tuna and Mayo Kimbap. That really sounds good to me. We were alternating between the hot wings and the cool kimbap when the Korean Spicy Dry Noodles were delivered to the table. This cold noodle dish was really beautifully presented. All the ingredients are artfully arranged in a bowl, over a heavenly bed of noodles in Matna's signature spicy sauce. It's left for the customer to mix all the ingredients with the noodles and sauce. I was thankful that those noodles showed up when they did. My wife and I each had finished off two wings. There was still one up for grabs. I wasn't looking for a confrontation, I was looking for a distraction. The noodles were delivered to the table and set right in front of my wife. The server explained that the dish needed to be mixed together. My wife picked up the utensils and got busy mixing the ingredients. I took care of that last piece of chicken. Almost forgot to mention the drink I ordered. They have several different "Ades" to choose from (Green Grape, Mango, Yuzu, and Strawberry). I went with Strawberry. Outstanding drink, would definitely get it again. I bet all those Ades are great. I liked the Korean Spicy Dry Noodles and I would get them again too, but not until I try about a half dozen other things on the menu here. There are so many enticing items! We spent the whole meal alternating between raving about what we were eating and proclaiming what we were going to order next time we visit. And no doubt that will be pretty damn soon, because I love Matna 1631 Mikey C says: for god's sake man, don't make the same mistake as me: order the 10 piece KFC!!!
