WONDERFUL! My husband and I felt so welcomed and seen by the lady working when we stopped in for lunch. She gave us recommendations for what to order and walked us through the entire menu.After she heard that we were in our honeymoon, she brought us out some free desserts and fresh grapes grown from a vine at the owners home.We are so thankful for the incredible experience and cannot recommend this place enough!

This is a surpisingly rare find in the high desert - 8 Star Cafe delivers authentic homestyle Korean food thats honestly on-par with some more expensive Korean restaurants Ive been to in LA.I appreciate the selection of choices on the menu; it caters to a range of palettes. From kimchi fried rice or dumplings, to Soon Dubu Jjigae, everything Ive tried is absolutely delicious. Pictured are my favorites: the Spicy Pork Bulgogi and Japchae (glass noodles), which come with homemade sides (aka banchan) and rice.Their homemade kimchi is also very very good - better than what youd find in most Korean Markets. I usually buy a jar to take home.Ill also point out that their boba and Taiyaki seem legit! I dont see many places that actually have a taiyaki press... excited to try it one day when I actually leave some room!

First time visiting. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, fish mackerel, japchae, pomegranate boba (cold) and matcha tea boba (cold). The only thing I truly enjoyed was the matcha tea. Everything else was oily! Too oily! The customer service and the decor were really good though. Being the only Korean spot in 29 Palms I have to give it 4stars because there is no other 29 palms Korean restaurant that makes boba to compare it to.

The only Korean restaurant in town. The chef is a cute Korean auntie so you can rest assure the food is authentic. It’s also funny that they also sell all sort of foods there. But don’t let that scare you. Just order all the Korean food and you are good to go. Food came out quickly and it was yummy. I would definitely come back

We had spicy chicken and seafood soup with tofu. It was absolutely the greatest, and the small dishes that arrived disappeared quickly and the lady refilled them! This is a great place, family style.

Delicious food, and really lovely staff. They gave us persimmons to snack on while we waited for our to go order, and the food was delicious. Portions are really generous. Will definitely return next time we visit the area.

Not your usually korean restaurant, you order and you only get 3 side dishes, it was kind of flavourless, but the staff were very friendly...The fish cakes were tasty tho. Not authentic korean food. Its more a mixture of asian and western culture foods. A quick cafe more like.
