This is a great place to get authentic Korean fried chicken. Our server was really great and made sure we enjoyed the food. Chicken was perfectly crispy juicy inside. The sweet potato fries were awesome and crunchy. Different then American style but really awesome. We will be back

Pretty good Korean fried chicken for Temecula. The batter is really light and super crispy. Kimbab was also fresh and tasty. Must order the Kimari. This is not found everywhere and is a tasty treat. Kimari is glass noodles wrapped in seaweed then quickly fried. As with all Korean fried chicken, they don't start cooking until you order so it may be best to call in the order or be prepared to wait a bit.

This review will not include anything about the food or the ambiance because we couldn't get through the front door. We were visiting from out of town, meeting part-way between our home and our relatives' home in LA. We checked out Yelp for some restaurant suggestions and decided we were in the mood for Korean Fried Chicken. We arrived a little earlier than 11:00 am which was when the restaurant was supposed to open, so we waited by our cars which were parked just across from the entrance. A few minutes after 11:00 am, we got out of our cars and headed to the door. We tugged on it, and it was still locked. No problem. We stood outside and waited patiently. A few minutes later, someone opened the door and told us that there were many large catering pre-orders for take out, and it would be about an hour before they would serve us since they take all of the orders in the order of which they received them. We were also informed that we could've placed a preorder for dine-in so we wouldn't have had to wait an hour. It was clear from his body language that we were discouraged from entering and waiting (even though he said we can wait if we wanted). We decided not to wait because we were all hungry, and we found somewhere else to eat Being reminded to place a pre-order for dine in for the next time we come was pointless because we don't plan to come here the next time we are in the area. We respect that this is how they run their restaurant. If you decide to give The BKC a try, the restaurant might be tricky to find. It is located on the west-facing side of the mall complex, and the dining patio cover may block the name as you drive around. See my photo for reference.

The BKC, is the Best Korean Chicken place outside of Bonchon (LA and PHX) we've tried. It's stuck in a corner of a strip mall, off Temecula Pkwy and is hidden around the corner from La Cucina's. The chicken is freshly cooked (twice) and for $16.99, it seems more than fair, given what they give you. See Menu. But if you're in a rush, keep in mind there's a cost to that freshness. From the point of paying, until your food arrives, it can run twenty-five minutes for that wonderful chicken. Also, this is hacked chicken (photo) with lots of flavor, breading and sauce... Sooo watch out for those tiny pieces of bone. Hey, it's hacked chicken right? And it's delicious. We will absolutely be back to try the rest of the Korean menu. 감사합니다 - Kam-sa-ham-ni-da!

The BKC is a new iteration of its predecessor, Hi-Tofu, which was the best quality Korean food in town. Ordering from this establishment (both in-house and to-go) has always been hit or miss, but comically so! I tried calling on five separate occasions and one day my call was finally answered. I asked to place a pick-up for a half order of soy garlic chicken and was told it would take at least an hour to marinate. I showed up about an hour later (they took my number and said they would call if it was done sooner) and sadly my chicken was soggy from sitting out. At first glance, I thought the chicken was overpriced but once I dug in, I realized it was a good amount of chicken and the flavor was delicious! I'm excited to try some of the other menu items and thankful to still have a Korean restaurant on the south side of town.

I wanted to get Korean fried chicken for my (Korean) husband's birthday. It's difficult to get since moving to this area. I called a few hours early so that I could pick it up for dinner. The place is a little tricky to find but worth the search. It's right on the corner and when I went, it looked completely empty. They came out of the back when I entered and I was able to get my food after 10 or so minutes. Food was very good! We had ttobokki, kimbap, and fried chicken. My husband is pretty picky about Korean fried chicken and ttobokki but he really enjoyed it!

Avery C.

Very tasty korean fried chicken with a lot of flavor options. They cook the chicken fresh to order so there will be a little wait but it is well worth it. They even gave me some freebies for the wait :)

Stephanie N.

Really enjoyed the food here. Everything was delicious. And their wings were nice and crispy and had a great flavors. The server was nice, but service & cooking times can be extremely slow sometimes. Thankfully for them we were patient and not in a hurry. We did appreciate & enjoy the fries with yummy seasoning.

Annnnnd it appears they are open again. Haven't attempted to call/pass by. I feel like a stalker at this point

THIS PLACE IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! From the quality of food to the authenticity of ingredients to the amazing service. I can't believe we have something like this store here in Temecula!! My sister was craving for real Korean fried chicken and some kimbap but the majority of the stores close to my area were closed. So we tried to go here and called in before hand. Since we are a little bit of a drive from the store, we informed them that we might come a little bit over the closing time. We told that beforehand and they said it was okay and they wished us safe driving. I MEAN WHO DOES THAT?? These amazing souls omg. When we got there not only was the food kept warm, the guy who served us also gave us paper plates!!! And while we were eating in our car (because we were HUNGRY + the smell of the food was so tempting) he came up to us again to give us sodas!!! SODAS!! He said he felt bad that we were eating in our car, it's because the dining area is already closed. TO WHOEVER THAT WAS, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING AND I WISH YOU ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. No wonder their food is amazing, it's made by awesome individuals who cares for their customers and actually genuinely cares for the people. Experience: 10/10 Service: 20/10 Food: 15/10 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LOCALLY OWN BUSINESS THAT SERVES AMAZING FOOD AND PROVIDES GREAT FOOD (FOR A REASONABLE PRICE MAY I ADD ‼) THIS IS YOUR SPOT. TRY IT. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!

Really good Korean fried chicken wings!!! Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. They only take pick orders for now & best to call ahead of time to order as they get super busy with orders.

Tteokbokki! Huge portion! Def sharable and delicious!

Liz P.

So we showed up a little late on Saturday night, instead of turning us away, they accepted us with open arms. We ordered some beers, honey garlic wings, sweet and spicy wings, and tteokbokki. The honey garlic wings were extra crispy and BUTTERY! The sweet and spicy wings were also extra crispy and tart! I felt like we were in a k drama with all these flavors! The chef also complimented us with dumplings, pieces of bossam pork and a extra beer on the house which was very kind! (Despite the fact that we were the last ones to leave, instead of being mad/annoyed with us, they gave us food ) If you're looking for authentic Korean wings, you have to stop by here!! We live about 30 min away from this place but it's def worth the trip and we'll be back! Thank you again

what's left of the kimari (ate some already)

Lili A.

Wow, this place is wonderful. Stopped by today for an early lunch today with my brother and food didn't disappoint at all (we finished everything within 20 mins, no leftovers were taken home bc it was that delicious.) The server and owner, I assume, were both very kind. They provided fries on the house and catered to my special request (no carrots in my tuna kimbap). Everything was made fresh. Chicken came out last because it takes a while to fry and prep but the exterior was nice and crispy, full of flavor (we got soy garlic.) Tuna kimbap was phenomenal, a burst of different flavors and textures. Fried kimari is also very delish, came out piping hot and crispy. The place is super clean, nice and cold inside when you step in from the outside heat. There's quite a bit of seating but get there early because as soon as noon hit, more and more tables got occupied fast. The BKC, we will definitely return, spread the word, and cannot wait to try other flavors of chicken and kimbap. The dukbokki is next on my try list for sure! Thank you for a delicious and wonderful experience, don't have to drive all the way down to SD for some nice korean fried chicken now!

My experience here was great! The owners were very attentive of my sit-in order. Food was out in a timely manner and the service was the best I've ever experienced anywhere. They thought everything through by providing hand wipes and gloves since eating bone-in chicken can be a messy experience. The chicken was freshly prepared and tender/moist, and the kimbap was delicious. Price point was reasonable as well. I'm ready to go back!! read more

As a frequent visitor to Temecula from LA, I hold Korean food to the high expectations of ktown...and BKC did not disappoint. Ordered the Korean rice cake (Dduk Bokki) , the original Kimbab, and fried dumplings...and WOW, it was both authentic and delicious!! If you haven't had their Dduk Bokki, this traditional Korean street food is a delight..but it's especially amazing after a night of drinking, a night of over indulgence, if you're feeling under the weather, or if you just want great Korean food. BKC is a must have and a MUCH needed culinary addition to the boring Temecula food scene. read more

We were finally able to try this place out and it did not disappoint. Ordered the galbi chicken wings, kimchi and bulgogi kimbab . The food was delicious and you can tell they put a lot of effort into their presentation and care about the quality of their food. We did notice the yelp hours show 11am but when we called no one was picking up. Called again after 11:30am and was told they open at 12pm but we could place our order and it will be ready at 12:30pm. As we weren't in a rush we went ahead and did that and would definitely go there again, but if you are on a lunch break from work, or in a hurry, or just really hungry just keep in mind how long it takes to get your food. Hopefully they improve on their timing as we would really like this place to stick around. read more

Had to stop my husband from eating it all so I could try it I became obsessed with Korean culture, food, and music during the pandemic so I'm glad I can finally try all the yummy dishes I've seen on tv.

I came here to check this place out and to go to a place that has Gimbap for not too many places in Temecula have it. So after checking it out I was greeted by the owner and he was very nice and welcoming. Inside of the restaurant it wasn't complete because they are redesigning it but I will say that once they do finish it will look great. I ordered 2 Gimbap rolls, the Original and the Bulgogi and I must say they were delicious! The original had the standard ingredients that Gimbap has while the bulgogi had a lot of bulgogi in it as well as some other ingredients and it was really delicious. I will be coming back more to try their other food like their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and of course their delicious Gimbap read more

What is up with the raw kale garnish? Don't people know that raw vegetables have parasites especially greens and should be washed, blanched and then sautéed? I swear the owners must think we are all fools. This place is just another fake oil fried low quality chicken race to the bottom place. If you're going to be lazy and have a fries menu, at least fry the kale to make chips. At least it's edible then. The sauces are all bought in and full of chemical preservatives. I wouldn't touch this place when there are so many real mom and pop options still available It's sad that culture comes to America to die We really need to all do better demand more and be more curious about the origins of things. read more

Wow never again I've gone there twice and left with no food. One time they were closed when they are to be open, today I went there walked in all the chairs are on top of the tables I assume they were closed, a girl outside walking her dog from the restaurant (a worker) said he was in the back getting something. I looked around the place is unSanitary and dirty. Dishes piled in the hand sink, shit everywhere I was about to leave, the guy comes out said what do you want, I said I wanted to get some chicken, where is the menu, we don't have menus was his reply. I said ok what do you have ?he tells me I have 3 orders ahead of you what ever you order will take a hour and half , I said for 2 pieces of chicken and a side ? He said yes. Needless to say, I left. Probably the right decision given how dirty the place was. I am in the food industry, I wouldn't wait 90 for any restaurant let alone this dirty place. They need a health inspection.

The chicken was bomb here. I had the the soy and honey garlic wings (half order). I ordered by phone, they said it would take 35min but it was done 25min later when I got there. I appreciated that my Togo order was bagged up but the boxes inside were left open so the chicken would stay crispy. They were giving free fries with every order that day. The fries were soft rather than crispy on the outside like I am used to but they were surprising delicious just as they were. I shared they order with my wife. I eat a lot and was a little worried I didn't order enough, but we both stuffed ourselves and there were left overs. My wife did her happy-food dance after taking her first bite of chicken, so yeah, safe to say I'll be making the 30min drive here again sooner than I'd like read more

So happy that an authentic Korean fried chicken place opened up in Temecula! Used to go here when this location used to be Hi Tofu, so happy that this place is still a family business. We ordered to go and food was ready for pickup when they said it would be. Korean fried chicken takes a while to prepare, but it does at any place, and it's always worth the wait! The customer service is still great! We were given lots of extra pieces of chicken and free seasoned fries. The chicken was so crunchy and flavorful! There were also yummy pieces of garlic! The tteokbokki was also really delicious and reminded me of Army Stew. The kimari was great and when added to the tteokbokki, it provided a nice crunchy texture. Will definitely be back! read more

Restaurant has great food, but service is not dialed in yet. We ordered 2 different chickens (sweet and spicy + honey garlic), plus tuna kimbap. Everything was very delicious. We will definitely come back for more. As for the service... There is lot more to improve on. The server was very kind. We were the first ones there, and the food to table wait was about 45 mins. It seems as though they mainly cater towards pickup orders. I would see some people come in and pickup food and leave. But when other potential dine-in customers came in, they were quoted 60+ mins. And understandably, one after the other, all potential customers turned around and left. I don't know what it'll take for the restaurant to have faster turn around, but 60+ mins when restaurant is almost empty sends a bad vibe. I hope this improves soon. I think it will help if the restaurant post a current wait time in front. It'll save everyone the hassle, and some time. Or perhaps, recommend on yelp and other business description to order ahead for dine-in, if that's possible. read more

Super friendly staff. Clean. Great fresh tasting food! My search for kimbap near here is over, this will be my new go to. We ordered the original and bulgogi kimbap. The ingredients were really fresh. Their chicken is flavorful, we got the soy garlic and sweet & spicy flavor. Their French fries are coated in sugar which is interesting, reminds me of Korean corn dogs. Their normal business hours will be from 11am - Midnight so if you're looking for a late night dinner spot, I recommend you try this place. Just call to make sure they're open because they're still in their soft opening time frame right now. They're in the corner next to La Cocina de Reyes, a little hard to spot the signage because of the outdoor seating cover. Also, be prepared to wait at least 45 mins as the rolls don't seem premade and pre packaged like the ones you find in Hmart. read more

Is this place open? Every time I call the phone call dies and I went a few days ago when they were supposed to be open but the door was locked

No answers yet. Be the first to answer.

Do they close early on Mondays? I went tonight and arrived at 7:30 pm but it was closed.

I believe they close when they run out of food… since everything is so fresh… When they run out of the prepped supply for the day, they close, so it’s best to call before…

We did ask for more sesame oil than average, but they did deliver. Prior to finding this little gem, we went to two other KBBQ places and all were packed with long wait times. We were seen immediately. Although small, this place was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and we will definitely be coming back again.

I really don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially for family-owned restaurants, but I also…read morefeel it's important to share an honest experience so others can make informed decisions. I came here craving soup after being sick and ordered the pork soon tofu, while my wife ordered the bulgogi. The meat in both dishes was noticeably tough and difficult to chew compared to other Korean tofu restaurants we've visited. Because I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't fully taste the food, but my wife and daughter both immediately noticed that the bulgogi tasted sour. When we brought it to the staff's attention, they kindly offered to replace the meat, so we requested teriyaki chicken instead. Unfortunately, another serving of bulgogi was brought out instead. By that point, my wife and daughter had already finished eating and gone to the car, so I simply asked for it to be boxed up. After getting home, we decided to throw it away because we didn't feel comfortable taking a chance on meat that tasted off. The side dishes also didn't seem fresh, which matched what I had seen mentioned in other reviews. While I can't say for certain what caused the sour taste, it left us without confidence in the meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning on a very hot summer day, which made it uncomfortable to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. Also, the dishes were served on hot plates, but nothing arrived sizzling or boiling the way you would normally expect at a Korean tofu restaurant. I genuinely want local family-owned restaurants to succeed, which is why writing this review isn't easy. Every restaurant can have an off day, and hopefully that's what happened here. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet our expectations, and based on our experience, I'd encourage others to use their own judgment when deciding to dine here.

I'm visiting for the second time, and I remembered this place having some of the best meat I've…read moreever had at a KBBQ restaurant. The cuts were high quality and not overloaded with fat. For some reason, I just never made it back here; probably because the Promenade area isn't usually along our route. Coming here tonight genuinely brightened my day. I had just finished a long shift and a commute, and all I wanted was a good, comforting meal. My nutritionist told me yesterday need to significantly increase my protein intake to help reduce muscle loss related to my autoimmune thyroid condition. KBBQ seemed like the perfect choice; lots of protein without a lot of unnecessary junk. On my way home, I stopped at two other KBBQ restaurants. Apparently, I was unaware of the unspoken rule that some places don't serve parties of one on weekends. One restaurant even had me wait 25 minutes before telling me they wouldn't seat a solo diner during the weekend. Unfortunately, my husband is currently deployed, so being a party of one isn't exactly a choice for me right now! Normally, dining alone doesn't bother me at all, but today it got to me. I was exhausted and simply wanted a comforting meal. Being turned away after waiting 25 minutes just because I by myself was the last thing I needed. When I called this restaurant, the owner or manager immediately answered and was incredibly friendly. He explained that they offer entrée and plate options for guests who aren't doing the all-you-can-eat menu. I honestly don't understand why more restaurants don't offer this. I know the food industry is competitive and businesses have to make money, but having options for solo diners makes such a difference. When I arrived, I received wonderful service right away, and there was no wait, but they were full. The owner or manager recognized me as the person who had called earlier and went out of his way to make me feel welcome since we found out we're from the same area. He even added a little surprise to my order simply out of kindness. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. In an area with no shortage of restaurants, I want to give this place the credit it deserves, not only for the excellent food, but for the heart behind the business. Today, I'm especially grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to me. You never know what someone may be going through, and a simple act of thoughtfulness can make a bigger impact than you realize. His kindness truly lifted my spirits after a long and difficult day. I believe this is a small family-owned business, and they absolutely deserve the support of the community. Great food is easy to find; genuine hospitality is much harder to come by. I'll definitely be back!

Seoul Galbi

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.

The main reason I'm finally posting is because I had a bad experience at another Korean all-you-can-eat BBQ spot on Jefferson Ave, so I wanted to show some love here. I stopped by on a Friday night around 7 PM, and the place was packed. I added my name to the waitlist, and a few minutes later the manager called me up.

The staff was friendly and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. There is also a robot server!

It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it took away from the overall experience. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving Korean BBQ. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it. Great ambiance--but you'll leave smelling like BBQ lol

The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes.

We sat down straight after. Our server, Paul is even MORE amazing. We love him so much. Not only was he checking up on us and seeing if we needed more refills/orders. We weren't ever waiting more than 5 minutes for an order, it was brought out almost immediately when requested. Talking about Paul, we've had such a great time being under his care. He's the most down to Earth person you could ever meet. Food, is great! Meat selection is pretty good. We used to live in Orange County and it's a great new pick!

The customer service is excellent from beginning to end. The waitresses make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. They are warm, attentive, personable, and genuinely make you feel at home. The restaurant itself has such a fresh, intimate, and welcoming atmosphere. It is also extremely clean, and every detail from the decor to the presentation of the food feels thoughtful and intentional. During my first visit, I ordered the chipotle chilaquiles, and my mom ordered the huevos rancheros. On my second visit, we ordered the birria tacos, asada tacos, and chilaquiles divorciados with both the chipotle and relleno-quiles sauces. Let me tell you, they make chilaquiles exactly how I want chilaquiles to be made...completely drowned in sauce! The chicken added to them was incredibly tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all. The cebolla and avocado details are an excellent touch. The chipotle sauce was delicious, and the relleno-quiles sauce added such a unique chile relleno-inspired flavor. If I had to nitpick one tiny detail, I personally would have loved a few more chile rajas in the relleno-quiles, but that is truly just my preference because the dish was still excellent. The asada tacos were perfection. The meat was juicy, full of flavor, and once again, not fatty. Even the tortillas added another layer of flavor. They tasted exactly like the perfect taco you imagine when you are craving one. The birria tacos were also a 10/10. The balance of cheese and tender meat was perfect, and the consomé completed the entire dish beautifully. Honestly, every plate tasted like a lot of thought and care went into it. And the presentation? Chef's kiss! Every single detail is beautiful. The food looks just as incredible as it tastes. I also tried what I believe was an horchata latte with cinnamon cold foam, and it was one of the best coffees I have had in a long time. Restaurant coffee can sometimes be bland or feel like an afterthought, but this was coffee-shop quality; rich, flavorful, and memorable. The prices are also incredibly reasonable for the quality, portions, presentation, and overall experience they provide. They could easily charge more, but instead, you receive so much value for what you pay, which I truly appreciate. There is normally a wait, so I made reservations for both visits, and everything worked out perfectly. I highly recommend making one because this restaurant is absolutely worth planning for! I live in Ontario, and Quiero Brunch is in Temecula, but if I could make the drive every week, I absolutely would. That is how amazing this place is. They have completely blown my mind and, honestly, blown the competition out of the water. Next time, I am determined to explore more of the menu because everything I have tried has been delicious and memorable. You can truly see, taste, and feel the owners' vision in everything they have created. Their passion comes through in the food, service, atmosphere, and presentation, and as a customer, I received and felt every bit of it. Kudos to the owners and the entire staff. You are creating something incredibly special and definitely deserved this thorough recognition. Quiero Brunch is truly perfection!

If you're a fan of korean style fried chicke , you have to try The BKC at the Wolf Store retail park in Temecula next to La Cocina. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with the mouth-watering aroma of their crispy golden chicken. The decor is simple, but the attention to detail in the cleanliness really stands out. I ordered the soy garlic chicken on my first visit, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked, with crisp skin and tender meat. The flavor was exceptional, with just the right balance of savory and sweet. Pro tip: order the pickled radish as a side, they're perfectly seasoned and crunchy just like the chicken. The service was friendly and efficient, making it a warm and inviting dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try more items on their menu. Definitely a must-try if you like korean style fried chicken! read more

Moving from San Diego it's kind of hard finding a diverse Asian cuisine selection, so when I wanted some BonChon I was hoping the Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula area had at least one place that could match it. This place by far is the best Korean fried chicken in the area. I only got their fried chicken so I can't speak on their other dishes. Definitely 5 out of 5. Their customer service was great as well. read more
