It was surprising to discover a Korean restaurant in this area. I normally have to go out to Orange County to get good Korean food. I found the food to be delicious and correct tasting(Im Korean). The kimchi was perfect, in fact all of the banchan(side dishes) was tasty. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would definitely eat here again.
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.
I wanted some Korea food today and I found this place after looking for a highly rated Korean restaurant. Im 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.
Love coming here. Everything tastes so good and the service is very friendly. My family loves eating here! Would definitely recommend 👌
Fantastic Korean cafe. The food was delicious, the environment was very clean and the owner and her daughter are very sweet! My only “complaint” is the sides are only refilled one time and then you are charged. I have never been to a Korean place where that happens. But still fantastic place to eat.
Incredible place!!!The food is so good 👍The quality and the attention is espectacularThe prices is la little expensive, but you need to pay, is delicious 😋
Im not the type of person to write reviews on restaurants, but I think there are appropriate times when to. I decided to take out instead of dining in. I ordered the Rice cakes with the ramen which came up to $21 dollars which is quite pricey for what its worth I understand that it is family-owned and not many Korean restaurants are available in Menifee but maybe make it more affordable. This isnt my first time trying a Korean restaurant, Ive had better tteokbokki in riverside and more affordable. Keep in mind this was the first time I ever tried this restaurant and only ordered one thing. I only ate a quarter of the meal because I felt a little nauseous eating it. Later that evening I got the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced which caused me to be throwing up/diarrhea for three hours. I would be cautious when trying this restaurant.
Authentic Korean food not a Korean BBQ place. But the authentic flavors. Kimchi, cold noodle and much more.
I dont like telling everyone about our little spots. Because then they get to busy. But if you like a small at home atmosphere with great food. Look no further. Every thing my kids 3 & 7 and they eat everything they bring out to the table.
This is now one of my new favorite restaurants. I got 2 of the dumpling and rice cake soup with one bibimbap. All were absolutely delicious and felt like a really good home cooked korean meal. Their dumplings are freshly made by them so they are so juicy and tastes. The soup was very comforting after fighting a cold all day. Definitely recommend and will be going back.
This place is amazing! Authentic Korean food that seems to be the only one in the entire area. Normally we have to drive to San Diego or LA for good Korean food but this is close to home. The Spicy Rice Cake with ramen noodles was so good! Perfectly sweet and spicy. The Bulgogi was cooked to perfection. The service is spot on and friendly. We can’t recommend this place enough!
Let’s just start by saying the food was on point. Definitely authentic to Korean food. Aside from the food being delicious the one girl running the front of the restaurant was so pleasant and attentive. A little expensive but still cheaper than driving to LA or SD for Korean food.
Its an authentic Korean restaurant experience. I had the Tofu (seafood) + short ribs combo w/ dumpling. The soup and beef short ribs was really good. I had better dumpling elsewhere but it was still good. The best and only korean place in Menifee for sure. Give it a try.
It’s not your typical KBBQ, where you grill your own meats at the table. For 2 we spend $80. The meat portions were small. The food was good, the service was ok, (They served us tap water with no ice.) but not worth the money.
We were soo excited to hear that we finally had a Korean restaurant in our neighborhood, and an AUTHENTIC one at that !! Food was delicious. Quality ingredients … not the “All you can eat; fast food” poor quality. Staff are friendly and professional. We’ve been back several times as have our friends and family. #loveit#5⭐️
My family enjoyed eating here. My husband and daughter are not as adventurous on trying new foods. I convinced them to go here and they as well as I were not disappointed. Great service, good food. Glad they brought this place to Menifee on the Sun City side of town.
Finally a Korean spot in Menifee! My family and I are super picky about our Korean food & KBBQ, and this is by far the best in the area!! I ordered the bulgogi, and it was seriously tasty–and the portions are very generous with plenty of sides. The staff is so friendly and welcoming too! I highly recommend checking this place out!!
I was told by a neighbor to go try Mama’s kitchen because they are hearing great things about their food so I had decided with my wife to go give it a try and ohhhh boy!! It was delicious!! 🤤 I will highly recommend this by far, to anybody! screw your typical expensive KBBQ just come here enjoy the great customer service and food! It may not be all you can eat but who cares always worth it if the food is beyond Delicious. Ps I don’t usually post Reviews but I think this is well worth it! Thank you Mama’s kitchen for opening up! Keep up the amazing work and all the love you put into your restaurant!! 💕💕
In menifee it is by far the most authentic Korean restaurant ever. The food is so delicious and the serving is by far exceeding 2 servings. In my opinion the location is very nice because I go paintballing alot and its very convenient if your going paintballing, SD, or even big bear. The variety of foods are so nice especially the FREE side dishes. I really recommend stopping by and trying it out.
Im a korean restaurant owner myselfAnd this place is just amazing.Its all home cooked style and tofu pot and kalbi is better than any other famous Korean restaurants.Im definitely coming back.
Really good korean spot!!!! Anyone reading that comment about too expensive…. THINK ABOUT IT. Closest kbbq is Temecula or riverside. I ordered the bbq short ribs and they give you the same amount that I would eat at an all you can eat anyway.. and I save money on gas! You get all the sides that you would get at an all you can eat. Really big portions and really good quality food. I’ll be returning here in the future 100%!
I ordered the short rib plate to go. It was a little pricey but it was a lot of food and absolutely delicious. I would definitely eat here again and recommend to anyone looking for some good food.
If your looking for Korean Food outside LA County?Near City of Corona, Temecula, Murrieta?!Must try this Family Owned Authentic Korean Restaurant!Especially golfers and travelers our there, there is great Korean Restaurant in City of Menifee~
Went here on a whim and it was absolutely delicious. Both the hot stone bowl and the katsu were large portions and the side dishes were wonderful too.
This place is great, the place is very welcoming. Food was so great my friends and I finished everything. The staff are really sweet and very attentive. It really was a nice home cooked meal. I will be coming again 😁👍🏻
Eaten here twice, food great and the staff really nice…
I visited on a Monday at 2pm for a late lunch; the Open sign was lit, but the restaurant doors were locked. I went out of my way to come here and even brought a friend. Hours were supposedly 11am to 8pm. Id love to give it a chance; please fix your hours!
Everything was so delicious! The staff was so friendly and accommodating with my limited diet. I will definitely be coming back.
The best one so far! Great korean food, especially the tofu soup.
Food is unnecessarily expensive. 20 average per plate is absurd. I understand a price increase due to inflation, but this feels like theyre taking advantage of rising prices.
SOOOOOHHH yummy! SO NICE FAST AND GREAT SERVICE! COMING BACK FO SHO!!
The food is Delicious and the service is always great. Ive come here lots of times for lunch if dinner and the food has been consistently fantastic
They were very kind and attentive to us (: HONESTLY BEST FOOD IN TOWN 💕 please continue to keep serving amazing food and service 💕
I love to is place. I love getting their iced coffee!
Very good Korean food. Its been a long time since Ive had Korean food moving over here.
First time here, great food & great service. We will definitely be back.
I really liked this place. Enjoyed the food.

Great food and service. Authentic Thai food!
Great food friendly atmosphere
Fast, friendly service and great food.
Just simply good Korean food
Great tofu soup!
Food was good!
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 waiting
It is by far the best among restaurants where you can truly feel the taste of mom’s cooking!!!! Highly recommended!A place where the side dishes were neat and there was a service that even took care of refills.A restaurant I would like to frequent as it was nearby.The king galbitang was also delicious, the seasoned boneless chicken was more delicious than in Korea, and the LA ribs were meaty enough to be better compared to other places.I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.
Authentic Korean food, very friendly staff.Its on the expensive side but its worth it.All of the menu items I ordered were delicious and not spicy.

2023-09-02 07:32:08The food was absolutely delicious. The banchan was some of the most appetizing Ive ever had, with the potatoes and kimchi being standouts.I ordered the Galbi for my dinner. The presentation was good, meat was tender and easily came off the bone. Flavor was phenomenal, tasted similar to my grandmothers and moms recipe! That is the best and highest compliment I can ever give KBBQ. A1, 💯, 🔥!!!

2023-03-26 03:43:37Everything here was so good! It was random to find a Korean place in this old part of town.The portions were huge. Everything was flavorful. The boneless chicken tasted like popcorn chicken or chicken nuggets. It was so crispy that we ate it all in one sitting.Any items that offer levels of spicy can be customized to make it more spicy.We got:-Sweet and spicy boneless chicken (Korean style) $14.99-Tofu soup + beef short rib ($34.99)-Spicy sauce marinated pork ($27.99) came with miso soup-both came w riceWe would come back if we are in the area again.

2023-10-21 15:12:39We went there 2 days after they opened. Dont know why the review said they are fake. Even if they are fake, I enjoyed their food! They are very nice people who work there.The bulgogi dish, kimchi soup, and chicken we got for the kids are all authentic.I just moved to Menifee, there are no Korean places near us. I was very skeptical going here because this area doesnt have anything authentic and is true to what they serve.Mamas Kitchen I guarantee you and very good. I consider myself a foodie and I will give a 100% honest opinion.I have very rarely ever considered anything a perfect 10. I would give this restaurant a 8.9 out of 10.Thank you for having us!Mamas Kitchen, we are the people to that told you to watch out for contractors taking advantage you regarding your Air Conditioner work. 😊

2023-10-24 03:39:14Loved 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 wont regret it. I will be returning with my family all the time! Cant wait to try more items on the menu. My mom comes here all the time glad that she brought me.

2023-06-25 18:49:12I was craving Korean Tofu soup with pork. I live in Perris, and usually drive up towards Riverside or Temecula for Korean Food. I am so happy that I found Mamas Kitchen. Though it is pricier than most places I have eaten at, its understandable. Due to the area we live in and lack of accessibility to the ingredients needed to make these dishes. I was so excited to try the Tofu Pork soup. They even made the spice level exactly to my liking which was so appreciated. The soup, rice and sides hit the spot. Tofu was soft, the pork tender, the broth had green onions amd sliced Jalapeños, it was so rrd and delicious. We even ordered a side of dumplings. My husband eats alot of dumplings, and these were by far his favorite. The quality, the flavor, the vibes and customer service were awesome 👌. I will be ordering again.

2022-11-13 03:09:41A wonderful hidden gem of Korean food! We happened upon this place on accident, it’s been open for a month and we had never heard of it. It’s quaint inside and their service is attentive and great. The menu has so many great looking dishes and they offered us tons of suggestions to try. We went for beef tofu soup and beef fried rice dish. Both came out on a smoke hot container, and the smell was delicious. They brought out side bits before the food so you can start on something. When the food came out all I can say is it was smelling amazing! It smelled better then most Korean bbq style places we’ve been too. We devoured our food and they checked on us a lot and walked us thru what each bit is.This place is definitely going to be one of our new favorites! Check it out before tons of people learn about it and it gets busy busy! Also the prices are very reasonable too!

2023-01-29 17:53:29Wonderful authentic Korean food, I especially love the soon-doo-boo spicy seafood tofu soup and the galbi short ribs. Service is warm and excellent. Large resto with plenty of room; and furnished tastefully.

2023-12-10 01:14:16Visited Mamas 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 couldnt 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, theyd 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 chefs day spa retreat, but my taste buds disagreed. Fifty bucks later, and Im convinced I paid for an overpriced flavor vacuum.Clean entry, not-so-clean taste. Sorry, Menifee, but Mamas Kitchen wont be seeing me for an encore. Save your taste buds and your wallet – this place is a culinary rollercoaster youll 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.

2023-04-02 17:02:11It was lunch time so we went to this new spot,cant remember exactly when they opened it up. I had the bulgogi lunch special that came with 3 sides and rice. Everything was good...food,service etc. Woud definitely go back.
