Hands down the best korean food. Sad to see it close.

They charge a COVID fee of $1.65. The food was pretty regular & on the pricier side. Food could be seasoned better and meat could be more tender.

Met the owner, super nice, the food and service were great just as we remembered six years ago since moving away. The spicy pork combo we usually get was yum and japchae was superb. All the banchan were perfectly portioned and ?!

I've come to this place several times, and unfortunately this experience has always been a let down. The owners of this restaurant seem to hold a prejudice towards anyone who isn't korean and/ or from asian descent. we were sat for 15 minutes waiting for our side dishes to come out, then an asian couple walks in and they get the side dishes instantaneously after they just walked through the door and sat down. then he took their order before ours even tho we were there 20 minutes before them. insane. and mind you this has happened multiple times. we are from the temecula area and we loved coming here but honestly i'm not gonna keep going back to a place who literally discriminates anyone who isn't asian

Comforting, tasty and authentic Korean food in Temecula. I had the lunch special with tofu soup and hot stone. They serve a variety of beers and the owner is kind and attentive. It's a small business so it would be mindful to account for busy hours and times of day for full menu items. Overall delicious and I will be coming back.

Great hospitality and good food! The wait might be long, but worth it. You have to remember that it’s a family owned place. It’s not your typical place where tables need to be flipped for every 15-25 mins based of the number of people in your party.

Delicious tofu soup restaurant. The waiter was very kind and informative. You know it's good when you have tons of Asian people eating there. They have a fantastic Korean menu. The sides are very tasty and fresh. From the fish cake to the cucumber salad, picked radish and kimchi. We had the soup of course as well as the bitbammam thingy which was served in a hotstone bowl. Inside the restaurant is very clean and comfortable. We also had the hot green tea and it was delicious. Parking is ok. When u pull in from the main road it's to the left corner but not very obvious u till u see it. Prices are great. I highly recommend this place especially with the colder weather ahead of us

The food is okay but the prices keep going up and the portions are still small not worth the money

What a great place for Korean food in the Temecula area. We got there right at 5 for dinner and we're the first to come in. We got sotteok (2 pcs) for an appetizer and we loved the sauce. I got the hot stone bibimbap and it came out fast. The server warned us about the plates being very hot, and the food stayed that way the entire meal. I got mine with a side of spicy sauce and used most of it when mixing my bibimbap. Delicious and just the right kick! It tasted great with the banchan added on to each bite! My boyfriend got the spicy chicken and enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and the spice had just a bit of a kick. It was a bit pricey, but we came out with leftovers for an extra meal, so I'd say one meal can feed two people.

I'm glad I read up on the reviews before trying this place because it is tucked away in a corner as another Yelper stated. Upon entry, you are greeted by a few potted plants and the seating area. The place overall is really small; about 10 tables but it appears very clean. It took us about 10-15 minutes to be seated because it looked like there was just one server and all the tables were full but when we did get seated, the server was very friendly and pleasant. He brought our drinks out along with a variety of side dishes (pickled cucumber, kimchi, spicy bean sprouts, fish cakes, etc.) and a bowl of rice. I ordered the tofu mushroom soup with beef bulgogi and my husband ordered the tofu pork soup and tofu steak as our main entrees. The soup broths can be customized and even though I ordered the regular, it was a little on the spicier side so make sure you order mild if you don't prefer spicy foods. Everything we had was savory and this place was undeniably the best choice we made for dinner.
Awesome place. Great food and service. I love how everything is explained, i.e. ingredients, etc. Everyone was great when we asked questions. I recommend the Kimchi soup. Yum!

Ok, the japchae is no joke here! I ordered the Japchae ($18.99) from a delivery service and it was totally worth it for all the food I got. The plate was enough for 3 people probably. Plus, the flavor was great and also came with a side of rice for whatever reason. The rest of my group got a Tofu Soup, which is a bit pricier but the flavor was great. I tried the Seafood Tofu Soup ($14.99) and it had a lot of seafood flavor in it. The kick of spice was also nice. Great Korean comfort food for your cravings.

Their vegan 4 mushroom tofu soup can be ordered super spicy and it comes to the table bubbling and hot - optional egg to crack open and cook in the boiling broth. Before the soup comes out, they serve banchan or 6 little tasty side dishes that complement the hot and spicy soup well. I usually go for lunch, and they have several different options to choose from on their lunch menu.

For a small restaurant, it offers deliciously flavorful dishes. And when they ask if you want it spicy, you better believe it is hot spicy!

delicious food, nice staff, and quick service! only criticism is that the atmosphere is a bit basic, but very clean!
