Ordered Spicy Rice Cakes to go, they were ready within 15 minutes but were average the hardboiled egg was a nice inclusion. Service was good & you get a 5% discount when you pay cash. I only ordered one dish so I do plan on visiting again to taste other menu items.

Food was delicious. Ordered the stone pot rice with vegetables and meat, which I think could have a little more meat. The bowl should be a little bigger also. The condiments were great. Also, the pork katsu was large portion and enjoyable.

Just like I remembered. Good food. Good flavors. Plenty of sides. Decent sized portions. Great service. Attentive and pleasant. Clean and roomy. Plenty of choices. Lots of attention to detail to give you a good experience. A bit pricy, but you get what you pay for and I got great service and food.Vegetarian options: Ask,they have choices.

I want to personally say thank you to Mama's kitchen in Menifee my health has not been well lately and I was desperate looking for something to nourish my body and in Menifee being a small town I really did not know where to go I am so happy that Mama's kitchen is there and has been there probably longer than I even realized I want to say the young lady that helped me order Natalie she works very hard and I appreciate her I know she gets very busy and she deserves the biggest tip ever I want to say that I ordered the beef soup I'm sorry I would have taken a picture of it but I ate it already but it was absolutely perfect for my body it felt and tasted so just homemade and just with love and care and it was not rushed it did take some time for the order but I understand why now this is not a fast to go type food they take their time making the best food quality and the menu is simple enough to pick and choose something delicious nourishing and made from the heart and from Korea I think you very much I needed to write this review right nowI will definitely be returning I wish I could every day maybe I can but in the meantime my go to place for nourishment is Mama's kitchen in Menifee thank you for your service

The food is unappealing and does not taste very good. The prices are too high for what they put out. Service is okay, but I will not eat here again. There are not more than 1 or 2 good Asian restaurants here.

Living out in the IE it’s so hard to find a genuine Korean restaurant and this one hands down is my absolute favorite!I tell anyone and everyone about Mama’s Kitchen. The food is so delicious! Every time we’ve come it’s usually quiet but don’t let that fool you, the food is amazing. The meat literally melts and is so flavorful. And the kimchi is O-M-G delicious. My sister in law even said it tasted like her grandmothers! Definitely try it out if you’re in the area.
Along side with the 1st Thai restaurant next door, this too, is the 1st Korean restaurant in Menifee. We ate here twice and have been satisfied with their food. They're a bit on the pricey side--a little too much for certain dishes that tastes just as good somewhere else for less (in my opinion) . Ex. Their short ribs are priced way too much ($30 something dollars when it's about $20 something somewhere else). They are good, but I've had better for less.Before your meal, we love their ensemble that they bring out. They brought out about 5 small sampler plates of their version of mash potatoes (our favorite), seasoned cucumber, kimchi (fermented cabbage/Korean raddish), and I forgot the other 2.We love their spam fried rice. It has a unique taste that's worth spending. We also like their dumplings. We'd like to go back to try other dishes when we get a chance.I read their sign that you can order their seasoned, uncooked short ribs and other dishes to go and for less.We also met the owner/cook. She's a very nice, hardworking lady. We found out that she had her own restaurant in Korea as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of room for a wheelchair

Got the ramen and it was pretty good! Didn’t get anything else because the prices are kinda high but it would be fun to go with friends. It was really slow so it was only us there to get food to go. Staff was friendly but a little awkward
Visited Mama's Kitchen in Menifee today, and oh boy, it was like my taste buds took a detour to Flavorlessville. The menu teased a culinary adventure, but what landed on my plate was more of a tasteless expedition. Kudos to the lone soldier on staff – sweet, pleasant, and running around like a culinary ninja – but even her charm couldn't save the day for the 30 souls craving flavor in that joint.I get it. Running a kitchen is tough, but if the able-bodied kitchen crew were any more laid-back, they'd be in a recliner. The bulgogi, supposedly a flavor sensation, arrived unmarinated and seemingly on a mission to redefine "bland."Sure, the stone ware had its moment in the spotlight, but the only heat I felt was the disappointment of cold presentation. The price tag matched the cost of ingredients, operations, and maybe even the chef's day spa retreat, but my taste buds disagreed. Fifty bucks later, and I'm convinced I paid for an overpriced flavor vacuum.Clean entry, not-so-clean taste. Sorry, Menifee, but Mama's Kitchen won't be seeing me for an encore. Save your taste buds and your wallet – this place is a culinary rollercoaster you'll want to skip. And who knows, maybe their famed Korean BBQ is hiding in a secret flavor vault, far from the plates they served us.
Great foood, authentic serving. The cook came around and talked to us which was nice. The food was fresh I will be going back!!! Great place if you were stationed in Korea in the military.Kid-friendliness: Yes definitely!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes on ground floor

Loved the food, never had tofu soup before, and was so amazed at how great it was. I recommend going here. The owner comes out and greets you and has the most amazing attitude. She is such a loving woman and very genuine vibes. Another favorite of mine were the gyozas everything is made fresh and with so much love. If you want to try an array of great dishes come here you won't regret it. I will be returning with my family all the time! Can't wait to try more items on the menu. My mom comes here all the time glad that she brought me.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment

I wanted some Korea food today and I found this place after looking for a highly rated Korean restaurant. I'm so glad I found this place because I wanted a bibimbap and soontofu soup and they had that exact combo meal. The food was absolutely delicious and the person checked on me often to make sure everything was good. And it was great! If you want some great Korean food, come try this place for yourself. You will be hapy you did.
Great place that I want to come again!
