8 Best Korean Restaurants near Temecula

“We moved to Murrieta 6 years ago. We struggled to find great quality Korean BBQ near here, till now. The quality of the meat was great! They have the best tasting kimchi I've had since leaving the Orange County LA area. We no longer have to drive all the way to Los Angeles for great Korean BBQ. The service was amazing. They are very friendly and attentive. We went on Valentines day and they have every lady who walked in a rose. It was a very special added touch to all ready great service.“

“D A M N! This place is DELICIOUS! Absolutely phenomenal flavor profiles, and ingredient quality. Their draft beer selection is also phenomenal.

If you’re in the mood for something different, this is the place to go.

The owner Jimmy is very kind and accommodating, and Pablo will lead you on your flavor journey! Haha. Highly recommend coming here“

“As a Korean, this place is legit. Temecula has some gems and this is one. The service is typical Korean restaurant. Kinda stiff and they won't smile much, except the owner's older sister. Total sweetheart. Best Korean food this side of LA, OC, and SD. Might even be better than a lot of the restaurants in Koreatown at all three cities. We always get the pork belly wraps and pork belly kimchi plate. I can make all of this at home, but this place is money! Lunch specials look legit. Haven't been fortunate to come for those, but Korean food under $20 which a Big Mac combo is going for anyways. The rice... wonderful purple rice! Grab two pork belly plates and two sojus. Enjoy yourself! Do yourself a favor and stop here.“

“Amazing Food!!! Awesome service from the Big Boss Garry! My first time trying Korean BBQ. I’m hooked! We’ll drive at least once a month from Covina to enjoy amazing food and service!! 💙“

“Our family stopped by for dinner at this place and it was amazing!! The food was 10/10, the service was amazing and most importantly the fish was fresh. We had ordered 4 rolls and our favorite roll was the hamahama roll and their garlic edamame was so good as well. We are definitely planning onto come back!“

“I’m glad they finally opened a new branch in Temecula. Surprisingly, it’s not as crowded as in LA, where long lines are common. I can't complain, though—I avoid waiting for hours, and parking isn't an issue either. I do wish they stayed open until midnight. On the plus side, they have a restroom in Temecula, whereas the LA location lacks a public restroom.“

“Nice spot, floors were greasy/slippery after making it past the entry/waiting space. I mentioned this and the reaction seemed like it was expected... 🤷🏽, felt like I was ice skating. Servers seemed rushed, but polite and helpful when asked. Food was good (apps and sauces were on point and beef quality was great), just wish it came with a little more discussion rather than plate/bowl drop-offs. Not sure if I like the shift towards robotics or that style of service but might be just me. Nice spot for family dining. Would come again, for sure, for the food value.“

“I’ve been to Flame Broiler multiple times and it has honestly become one of those places I can count on when I want something quick that still tastes good and doesn’t feel heavy. The food is always fresh, the portions are solid, and everything is consistent every time I go. That consistency alone keeps me coming back.

One thing that really stands out is how efficient the staff is. Even when there’s a line, they move people through fast without making you feel rushed. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been friendly, professional, and willing to answer questions about the menu. You can tell they take pride in keeping things running smoothly.

The food itself is simple but done right. The chicken is always tender, the beef has good flavor, and the rice and veggies always taste fresh instead of like they’ve been sitting around. I also like that you can customize your bowl depending on whether you want something lighter or more filling. The sauce options are a nice bonus too and really make the meal.

Another thing I appreciate is how quickly the food comes out. It’s perfect if you’re on a lunch break or just don’t want to wait forever for a good meal. You can get in, order, and be eating in just a few minutes.

Overall, great service, dependable quality, and fast turnaround make this a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to.“
