This place had the best energy and food inside! The staff was so nice and helpful, the food was flavorful and plenty. They had fun music and free games to play while you wait for your table. Definitely will be coming back

I absolutely love this place. Me and my wife have been here 3 or 4 times now and will not go anywhere else. The food is amazing, the spicy bulgogi is my favorite. The staff is amazing and the owner is awesome. Always around checking in on tables and making sure you get the best service possible. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be going back soon

The owner alone would make you wanna keep coming back here. Hes full of energy and entertaining 😅
Meats are good quality, Sides are unlimited and they all taste good 👍 They are not an all you can eat type, but their #3 combo is good enough to feed 6 hungry folks 😋
The servers are very accommodating and helpful.
Ambiance is good - the owner DJs the music playing 😅
Some of the things are weird - the trash bin they use when cleaning are for the outdoor ones that the trash truck picks up 🤪
But all in all, this place is worth the drive for us. 🫡

Just had one of the best Korean BBQ meals I’ve ever had! The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection right at the table. But what really made the experience stand out was the owner. Super friendly, welcoming, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and take pride in the place.
If you’re looking for great food and great vibes, this spot is it. Definitely coming back — and bringing more friends next time!

Food was as close to authentic without having to go to Korea! Wish tables were a bit longer to handle all the dishes varieties.

The portions of food where the right size and there were many side dishes that came with the food the staff was very helpful. The place was very clean. Everyone made us feel welcome and there were lots of choices in the future we will try more varieties. It was nice and cool on the inside as well and not too loud
Great value for a traditional KBBQ spot in Temecula. Went with the Combo 1 deal where you get to choose 4 meat choices — great for a group of 2-4 people. We went with the sweet beef bulgolgi, New York strip, beef brisket, and Spicy pork shoulder. We just had two in our group and had to take some leftovers! You cook it yourself here too so make sure you have someone in your group that has decedent cooking abilities! Gets pretty smoky too so wear something you don’t mind getting smoked out. The service was friendly and the owner has such a great vibe! The banchan side dishes were good and overall good affordable place for KBBQ!

If you’re used to decent Korean bbq from LA, this place ain’t it. Chadol cuts are not good, maybe using the lean part of the brisket which is not correct. Also cooking the chadol on an open wire grill rather than stone or cast iron plate. Pork belly cuts are way too thin. No korean salad or lettuce wraps. No egg soufflé included when you order the combo. LA prices but the quality doesn’t come close to justifying it. Service is the only highlight.

I love going to this place because aside from amazing food and high-quality meat. The service is spectacular. The owner Roy is extremely hospitable. I went in one time on Mother's Day and he had a fresh bunch of roses to give to every single woman who came into the store. Plus, if you're lucky enough to go when it's a packed house the owner Roy will turn on Ghostbusters music and flashlight like a DJ and make it so much fun to celebrate a full restaurant. I couldn't be more invested in seeing a small business owner succeed than this guy. Highly recommend

This is hands down our favorite Korean BBQ spot in the area! The food is absolutely amazing, high-quality meats, perfectly seasoned and grilled, all at a great price. The side dishes are incredibly delicious and homemade, which really sets them apart.
What truly makes this place special is the owner. They're so kind and attentive, making sure every table is taken care of and every guest feels welcome. You can tell they really care about their customers.
We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

Pretty good place, Authentic Korean BBQ. Very attentive staff, serving of food is just right. The side dishes are replenishable, which is a major plus. Do ask for lettuce if you need it because it wasn't served till requested. Overall, the only room for improvements is their exhaust system. The restaurant was filled with smoke from the BBQ, making you smell like cook charred meat after your meal. Price affordable & will not burn a hole in your pocket.
