First of all, I did call them for reservation today, it went very smoothly!We had our reservation at 5pm, upon entering to the restaurant, it has a welcoming atmosphere. My daughter was so excited since she loves korean bbq, the food and serving was identical to korean bbq in SK, even the side dishes has similar tasted.. it brought back memories when we lived in korea. Honestly it is hard to find a good korean restaurant around temecula, you have to travel an hour or two just to find a good restaurant that has a similar taste. But we are glad to find this Gem ? the food tasted really good and the restaurant is very clean.And my daughter approves it!!! ?We are definitely recommend this 2n1 restaurant! ??

This was our first time coming here and we were super excited to find a Korean BBQ in Temecula. We just relocated from San Diego and have always enjoyed the Korean restaurants off of Convoy street near the Linda Vista area.The first impression of this place when walking in is that its small and dark inside. I noticed several light bulbs were blown out.We were seated right away by the owner, but waited almost 15 minutes for service, meaning waters or even an acknowledgment that someone would be with us in a moment. My hubby said give it another 2 minutes before we walk out.Finally the older lady comes and takes our orders and we were excited to finally get to eat.We order 3 all-you-can-eat meals.The tables werent properly prepared with utencils, napkins, and sauces. We had to keep asking for these things and felt like we were bugging her.We had to pretty much beg for more meat to cook and refills on our drinks.When we asked for more meat to cook, the owner said we needed to eat everything or she has to charge us for the meat we dont eat because shes loosing money!We then reiterated with her that we ordered the all-you- can-eat and why is she going to charge us more money. I had a flashback as a kid being told by my mom to eat all your food or else! ?So we just said give us the bill please. We paid over $80.00 and left still hungry.It just wasnt worth the hassle at that point, we just wanted out of there.⛔This place is awful. ⛔We will never return.The grill was so black and crispy from not being changed out.No refills on drinks.Beg for more meat to cook.Forced to eat everything or pay more money.Dingy bathroom heated like a sauna.No customer service skills.

I really wanted to like this place and support a family owned Korean restaurant. Im hoping they have the chance to see this review and improve...I came in around 7:10 pm to order some food to-go. Its very hard to find the place, but if you knew where the Hi Tofu restaurant was, this is the same location. There was a table of 4 that was already seated and in the midst of ordering. Also there was a door dash or phone order that was already being made when we entered.We ordered right after the four-top ordered. The guy handling the front was pretty nice. But we over heard from when the table was ordering that they didnt have any steamed rice... which i thought was weird since 1. Its a Korean place and 2. They make kimbap so they have to make rice... Anyway, we asked for the bulgogi kimbap and he said it was sold out, so we settled for the Tuna kimbap. I also ordered a half-chicken original, half-chicken soy garlic, and 8 piece honey garlic wings. He mentioned it would take about 30 minutes. We said OK.He brought out the check after about 5 minutes and also said that each entree came with a free can of soda. 10 minutes after that (7:30) he told us that they ran out of chicken so we had to switch one of our orders to wings. There was a price difference so i had to get a refund too... Then we waited some more until 8 (45 min mark) and i told the guy up front that i had to pick up my kid from practice and that Id be back. He said it would be another 10 mins. I couldnt wait so we left and came back 30 minutes later.Almost 1 hr to get your food is pretty terrible especially when theres only one other customer there. The ambience was awkward because there was no music or TV on, and you could hear the owners bickering in the back, a little flustered. Anyway I saved my judgement until I got home and tried the food. It was actually pretty good (at least the chicken was). We got our free sodas and the sides of pickled radish. My daughter ate all the tuna kimbap so I guess she liked it? So the food gets 5 stars but everything else really needs to improve. They dont even have a yelp presence yet (it has been at least a week or two since theyve been open)... Theres so much to fix. I will give them another try in a month to see if they work out their issues. But they need someone that knows how to manage a restaurant in this age.

Second time in a week and consistently delicious food. My wife is vegan and she loves that each bowl comes with generous complimentary sides of sauce, vegan kimchi and vegan cucumber salad. The bowl is a take on Korean bbq with the tofu being freshly grilled to order. The teas are refreshing! The owner is very friendly and the restaurant is very low-key, clean with a simple (but spot-on delicious) menu. Check this place out, your tastebuds wont be disappointed.

The Local Provisions
32119 Temecula Pkwy, Temecula, CA 92592, United States
The Vail Headquarters already offer an awesome hip/western atmosphere within the heart of Temecula. Located within, is “ The Local Provisions.” We are a family of 5 with kids ranging from 13-18 yrs old. We were pleasantly surprised to find a food offering to make everyone's stomachs happy! I want to start out by also saying that this place has a hip feel without being uninviting. This place isn't stuffy. Just great food, great vibes (and great beer).Families and even dogs are welcome!! The great thing is you could sit outside in the patio and take your time eating while your kids play in the grass in the courtyard!My wife had the grilled cheese lobster sandwich and I had the Korean BBQ tacos which were both amazing. It's going to be a tough choice between the two on our next trip. The meat in my tacos was moist and flavorful and the lobster grilled cheese had an almost soul-food feel. Our kids each picked a different flatbread/pizza and the garlic fry basket was huge! Even then, the five of us happily finished them!What was a surprise was the awesome beer selection. At the back there are numerous coolers stocked with bottles and cans of both local and not-so-local / hard to find craft beers. There were also some beers on tap, some seasonal which was cool to see. I could see this being a place where the experience will be the surprise of “I wonder which cool beer they'll have this time!” All the while eating tasty food. If you're a bit of a beer connoisseur, you'll really enjoy this place as well! While seated, numerous people came in as strangers and ended up conversing around the beer coolers, sharing their personal beer preferences and experiences. Cool atmosphere. (If your a sports fan, they had an NFL Sunday game playing on one of the screens).The owner, Gabe, was very attentive not just to our table, but to everyone who entered. He offered beer suggestions and gave a glimpse of other beers he hopes to add to the selection. Exciting! We can't recommend this place enough! You'll love it!
CHEFLAVOR
34635 Pauba Rd, Temecula, CA 92592, United States
What a quaint off-beat hideaway right in the middle of South Temecula! This whole area - the Vail Ranch Headquarters - is a large family-friendly area with games and fun places to eat. One of those places - Chef Flavor - is where we ate tonight! Solid food, service and ambiance. Everything was very good (however - all items slightly on the spicier side and everything a smidge too salty) - - there is no Diet Coke or Coke products of any kind so if you're a Coke fan, you can grab one at the Pizza joint next door, which is what we did - but taste of food was very good. potato salad off the charts good! We would go back and we would recommend
Love Boat Sushi
26480 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591, United States
Ive been to this location three times. My first experience was not to a standard of which was pleasing. Our waitress was not personable at all, and every time we asked for things that should have been provided like napkins, straws (prior to the plastic straw ban) and drink refills, she gave us a disgusted look like we were bothering her. The different varieties of sushi we ordered were delicious nevertheless. At the suggestion of my husband, we decided to go a second time. Our second experience was a complete turn around, and we were pleasantly delighted with the service we received and there were no issues at all...all of our sushi choices were phenomenal. Our third visit was equally pleasing all around. The ambience of the place is quiet, and the space is not large, just right; the lights have been dimmed all the times Ive visited (all visits were at night time). Overall, if you arent looking for anything extra fancy, you should be pleased with their sushi options.
