8 Star K Restaurant

When we visited, quite a few menu items weren’t available, which was a bit disappointing. I asked about the KBBQ chicken wings, and the cashier checked with (I assume) the owner. I overheard the response of “right now?” in a tone that felt inconvenienced, followed by “tell them it’ll be 30 minutes,” which came across more like discouragement than an option. That put me off, so I just asked what was available and ordered from there.

Overall, the food itself was enjoyable, but the limited menu options and the way the situation was handled left me with a mixed impression. It was nice to try, but with the high food prices and the service experience, I’m not sure I’d go back.

This is a spiritual and physical oasis for Koreans who find themselves in a foreign land. Anyone who misses or wants to experience Korean food should definitely visit this place.

What a hidden gem in the desert! Our family came out for a trip to Joshua National Park and stopped by for lunch. We ordered Bibimbab, pork stir fried rice, stir fried squid, and kimchi tofu soup. All exceeded our expectations with plenty of left over! We also tried black Americano here after the meal. O everything was just very good. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed having lunch here! The spicy bulgogi was delicious and the Oolong and Ginseng tea were yummy also with the poppers! Staff was friendly and helpful, we will be coming back!

Spicy pork and rice bowl was flavorful and the staff were respectful. I loved all the little cactus and succulent plants around the restaurant too.

They are the sweetest. The immediate greeting when you enter with such a kind welcoming tone was so nice. The older lady I placed my order with was so sweet explaining what each dish comes with. I ordered to go and the food took came out so fast. Food was great well portioned and excellent flavor. I ordered the bulgogi and the bibimbap for food a boba to go. Overall great atmosphere kind service and delicious food. I’ll be making this my go to spot.

I got the Tteok-bokki. Really good spicy soup with fish and rice cakes and some veggies. Not too spicy and lightly sweet. It came with a few pickled sides for no extra charge. Good value for really good food.

The portions are small for the price and the bulgogi wasn’t what I had when stationed in Korea. The kimchi is decent the Thai tea was really good and the dumplings were on point. The fries pork was pretty bland. I won’t come back only because of the price. I hope this helped. Have a great day!

amazing!!!!

First time coming here and I was welcomed like I’ve been eating here for years. The two ladies working were so friendly and patient with me as we decided what to order. We went with the dumplings, spicy pork rice bowl, and japchae. Everything was so delicious but the spicy pork was definitely my favorite. I’m so excited to come back and try their other dishes. Everything was so clean and they never let my side dish bowl stay empty. Very generous and prompt with the refills. While dining, I saw a take out customer leave their drink behind and the cashier grabbed the drink and raced out to the customer’s car to make sure they got it. Such amazing service! I’m already trying to figure out when I come back here again
