Temecula Korean Bbq

Overall an amazing experience. Ordered option B and it did not disappoint!! Atmosphere was nice, got pretty good music playing in the background. Staff was very friendly and attentive, even gave us a little fan to use. Mike was awesome as our server! Will definetly come back.

Came here for my husband's birthday dinner and as usual they did not disappoint!!! Ordered option B, The flavor of the meat phenomenal, their broccoli salad is my absolute favorite thing ever and can eat soo many sides of it. This visit i was more daring and used the radish paper to make a mini meat taco using the bulgogi and OMG the flavors compliment each other perfectly!!! Have not had anything i didn't like here!!

Super amazing people! Don’t even get me started on the owner—such a caring and funny guy! He truly cares about everyone and treats people so kindly. We really enjoy coming here as a family, and my two little boys absolutely loved him. This is only our second time here, and just like the first, it was outstanding. The atmosphere is so lovely, perfect for spending time with family, and the food is not only super delicious but also beautifully served. We’ll definitely keep coming back!

Not much of an option and not much of a variety of meat, but the price is reasonable and the service was phenomenal. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I don’t think I ever needed to wave him down for anything. He Practically anticipated my every order. Our server is Jose and he was awesome 👏🏻👈🏻.

My husband and I went here for a date night and were blown away by the hospitality and food. The service was so good, we tried all the meats and sides and everything was delicious. Scary Gary made us feel like VIP guests. Carlos made sure we had a clean grill grate when we needed it and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. It was our first time trying Korean BBQ and it did not disappoint! Can’t wait to go back!

Good quality food (meats & sides) & excellent customer service! The restaurant (including restroom) is very clean, unlike other similar spots I’ve been to & was pretty busy for a weekday — which to me, says a lot. Prices are also very reasonable! Their Premium menu is cheaper than most restaurants’ Basic menu option. A must try if you’re in Temecula!

Service was phenomenal we were seated right away and got drinks and sides quickly! The meat was amazing ! We got the short rib, bulgogi, pork belly, brisket, and spicy pork they are all winning flavors ! Love that the owner is so involved he came around to check on us and help out the servers! 10/10 highly recommend ! Side dishes are bomb too love the cucumber kimchi corn cheese and free refills on sides and rice !

This was the best restaurant my husband and I have ever had the honor to eat at. We will be coming here frequently. It was my husband Joey’s birthday and Gary our server/manager made the experience extra special. He let us try all the different meats since it was our first time and we were surprised to see how affordable the all you can eat was. You get way more than your moneys worth. The food was absolutely amazing, probably the best food I have ever had. Definitely a new favorite. More than that, the service was beyond amazing, Gary was very attentive and was so much fun to talk with. Very happy and welcoming environment, felt like we went to a friend’s house to eat. He even sang happy birthday to my husband and gave us free desert. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone. Definitely come here you won’t regret it and will have the best restaurant experience!

Family first tried this place when our family friend had brought us for dinner. Me and hubby had tried a few Korean bbq places but were never really a fan until we came here. Staff is very friendly. The owner is awesome! Hubby enjoys speaking with the owner who is usually there everyday. The place is always clean and welcoming. Pricing is very reasonable and everything we have tasted so far is delicious. Sides are unlimited. The kids and hubby loved the steamed eggs. My favorite side are the radish and spicy cucumbers and potatoes. We always have a great time here, usually has the game on during the season too. Cups for sodas teas water etc are HUGE! lol. The meats are always fresh and delicious. Overall, we will continue to come to this place. Definitely have recommended this place to family who have already tried and enjoyed it. Thank you!

Customer service was great. The availability of meats and options in comparison to other larger KBBQ spots is very limited. I'm going to keeping looking for a Korean BBQ comparable to the ones I had when living in South Bay.

Come from San Jacinto and first off the meat and food quality was amazing! Service was good as well! The atmosphere was great and good taste of music !

So delicious my fav is the spicy pork! It's a must try best I ever had.. their spicy cucumber is addictive! It'

Solid meat quality, good service , friendly owner, 4/5 for this first visit , could use some more meat options, but not if that will sacrifice on the quality

I just LOVE supporting NEW LOCAL BUSINESSES. We were the first customers to come in today on a LOVELY SUNDAY afternoon & we came hungry of course... My HABIT: Took some Pictures and Videos for YELP before we ate... We both had to order either the option A or B it was only a $4 difference so why not just go with option B to get the BRISKETS & SHORT RIBS... CAUTION: The portions are HUGE! They are generous so make sure you order what you can finish ;) SHORT RIBS: 5/5The STAR is the SHOW! SPICY SQUID: 2/5My teeth were not strong enough to chew it! Too chewy. Needs teeth of steel!! BRISKET: 4/5 just a bit chewy for me CHICKEN: 4.5/5 Really good it reminded me of the Hawaiian Huli huli chicken! TOFU SOUP: 4.5/5 I really enjoyed it. Tofu pieces were HUGE and I added the regular broth into it to make it less spicy. I would add the Kim chi for an enhanced experience ;) Lettuce wraps: fresh! Sides: spicy cucumber was great! Everything else was just ok. Sauce: wish they had the bean paste but, they gave gojuchang in lieu of ICE CREAM: 8 flavors from Thrifties!! PARKING: Plenty SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you Mike There's always room for improvement as for now KEEP ROCKN TEMECULA KOREAN BBQ!

I love Korean rice and Korean food in general. Korean barbecues are cool - there's a table with a hole in it with fire coming through, and we throw meat on it -- Son Heung-min Korean bbq's are cool. And who would have thought the new one in Temecula would be cool, and delicious, and authentic, with superior meats and nice service. Well, this one in a strip mall by some car service places is cool. And when hankering for some protein, this is the place to go. Short ribs and brisket were the best. Don't bother with the Octopus. Pricing for AYCE is solid, corkage only $15. Interior feels like a hole in the wall which adds to the experience. Highly recommended!

Meat quality is good lots of choices, service is great and lots of parking, 85* was next to it maybe 3rd door next to it is 88 ranch Asian store and filipino restaurant

This was my first time at TK bbq and it did not disappoint! It has to be one of the best kbbq experiences I've ever had, and I'm not saying that lightly. The menu is simple and to the point making deciding what to eat not too much of a mind bend. The meats offered are all the important ones in my opinion lol. For the hospitality, it was very warm and welcoming. The restaurant is family owned and you can feel the love/care radiating from the servers to the owner. We did not have to wait more than 10mins between rounds, everyone was on top of making sure we had what we want. Probably the quickest turnaround at any kbbq I've been to and never forgotten. Much love to our server Jose, he was attentive, explained things to us, and very kind. The restaurant felt cozy and alive with people having a good time. You can hear the praise throughout the room about how delicious the food is. My favorite part is all the sauces, oils and seasonings on your table! Soy sauce, oil, chili paste... all the workings. Every bite was perfect becsuse we can flavor our food. They even offer tortillas and fries as a side which is a fun twist. If you are in the area and looking for a place to get your kbbq fix please give this place a try. You will not regret it.

Food is soooo good the spicy pork is my new fav!! Service is awesome staff is super nice, overall a really good Korean bbq and I enjoyed my time here !

We love this place. All servers, specially Timothy and Mike are fast and super friendly. They definately made our dinner trip enjoyable!

Service was first class, food was exceptional and the delivery speed of food was swift. I'll be coming back soon!

Fast and friendly service with yummy food. Spicy pork was our favorite and we loved the assortment of sides.

We found hair in our meat! That was the first red flag, I'm assuming the owner, gave us a little discount such as charging us for the cheaper AYCE meal, but didn't comp anything. We found it in our first plate of meat and we should've left right then. Food was very bland! Didn't have any flavor at all, even the dipping sauces. I left super unhappy with this place and feel bummed our little splurge meal wasn't worth it. Don't trust the reviews... The ambience was not clean feeling. Should've waited for Dpoong to open up or 2n1... The owner was also awkward with conversations, unprofessional and talked poorly about his employees and tried bad mouth other Korean bbq restaurants in the valley.

First time and the food was good. We did Option A that fed two people, could feed 3 in my opinion. The sides are unlimited. If you don't finish your meat, it says that they charge $10 a plate. You're able to let them know if you don't want something to avoid that. I'd come here again. The staff definitely is amazing. You can tell it's all about teamwork.

We haven't been to this locations since it has a new name. We came at a busy time on Memorial Day and were sat right away. The Owners Mom is such a sweet lady. Our meat to bbq was delicious. The tofu soup was very flavorful and spicy just how I like it. The server (I didn't catch his name) gentleman with long hair tied up. He was works SOOO HARD!! He is friendly, professional attentive and multitasks like I never seen he deserves a raise for sure! I recommend if you want a good place to eat, the only semi-negative thing is the ventilation. If you plan on going out after dinner you will definitely smell like you just left a Korean BBQ restaurant.

Excellent service and super friendly waiters! Meat tasted very high quality, very welcoming environment. You could tell the sides were made in house. Will be back!

First time trying this place and it exceeded my expectations. Owner is on top of every little detail and great customer service. The food was delicious! We will for sure come back!

First real sit-in meal for the weekend. Overall, great meal. Food was flavorful! Service was quick and our waiter was nice. Loved the Banchan!

Beware: 5 Star Reviews are being posted in exchange for free ice cream. I am completely appalled by the experience we had at TK BBQ. We ordered our drinks and meat like you typically do. We received 2 meats the first round instead of the 3 we ordered. We then asked for more sides and were scolded to just put the empty bowls at the edge of the table they will be refilled. Ok? Ordered 2nd round of meats only received 1 of the 3 meats we ordered. Asked for Mac Salad and a Regular Salad were told they are out of lettuce but that they will bring the Mac salad. Radish side I received a refill on had the thickest black hair I have ever seen right on top of white radish. When asked to get a new one there was no apology but we were greeted with annoyance. My soft drink I ordered never got a refill and every server walked past the empty cup at least 4 times. By the end of round 2 our grill was smoking up the entire restaurant but do they change our grill? No, they change the empty table behind us. I feel like the servers were avoiding us at this point. We just wanted to leave and were then greeted by our now all attentive and nice server if we want ice cream if we leave a 5 star review. I said no thanks and the owner comes over immediately. I'm already signing the check and he asks why we didn't get ice cream. I don't usually like making a big deal, places are allowed to have off days or make mistakes but I felt he needed to know to help improve customer service. He didn't even want to hear the details just pointed at the check and said tell them how you feel on here. So I like left a paper review I guess? Just moral of the story is that this restaurant is tainted by the glamorous reviews in exchange for dessert and the owner only wants to hear positive things as he chatted with everyone.

First of all, the service was excellent. Mike, our server, took care of us the whole time with a congenial and welcoming demeanor. It's always so nice to talk to someone who seems to enjoy making people's experience a great one. The food (especially for the price of only $30.99 for the higher tier) was great! They gave us complimentary soup -- seasoned really well. Our favorite meats were the short rib, pork belly, and brisket. It's a great casual KBBQ spot --nothing fancy, just very homey.

First time here and we had an amazing server + great food. The meat and sides were delicious. We look forward to coming back! The vibes here are it especially after wine tasting.

ATTENTION! DON'T TRUST THE 5 STAR REVIEWS. This is my first one star review I don't usually like making bad reviews but I felt like this place absolutely deserved it...The place felt a little unsanitary. The ventilation was poor. The food was very bland and honestly, I don't know how you can make Bulgogi bland... the owner seem to be Badmouthing his employees and also other Korean barbecue places then we also found a piece of hair on our pork belly I wish I would've walked out of the store at this point. The owner said he would take care of us and only gave us five dollars off our bill which was pretty sad. I should've just walked out and then. We didn't really have the full all-you-can-eat experience because the food wasn't really that good and he kept on making sly comments about how we didn't want to eat more food and how we didn't wanna eat ice cream.

Service is great and staff is very friendly. Been to a couple Korean BBQ styles restaurants and this one has good food but not a huge food selection, ie. no seafood, but the selection they did had tasted good.

Great food and great service! My son and I are here for my daughter's soccer tourney and we felt like eating some AYCE Korean bbq. This place did not disappoint. The owner was super nice and helpful. He took one look at my son and I and knew exactly how much meat to order and what kinds. The two sauces that were available were great as well. We opted for the option B and the owner ordered the brisket, bulgogi, pork belly, and short ribs for us and it was 100% on point in the flavor and amount of food. The banchan variety was nice, creamy broccoli, sweet potatoes, fish cake, cucumber Kim chee, radish, and bean sprouts. All delicious! It seemed like most of the employees were new/new-ish, but they handled themselves well and were super attentive. Our water glasses were never empty. I know I may not come back here again bc I may never visit Temecula again, but I highly recommend eating here!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOPPING BY! Accidentally stumbled across this place after leaving a winery & instantly fell in love! Food was delicious and service was outstanding! Mike exceeded our expectations and made our visit a delight! I cannot express my gratitude enough!! Will definitely be coming back next time we're in town (:

100/10 the best Korean spot we ever been to. The food quality is amazing. You won't be upset with the service. The servers are great and on time. Making sure we have what we needed. Best price in town. Very clean place and they have a bar inside. Really good place to eat. The food is BOMB!! Best in Town

It was our first time here, and we were absolutely blown away! The service was quick, and every staff member we encountered was so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is awesome very family-friendly and relaxed. The meat quality is top-notch! We sampled almost everything, but the short ribs were hands-down our favorite. And don't skip the spicy cucumbers they were chef's kiss! If you're in the Temecula area, you have to check this place out. We'll definitely be coming back!

Delicious! The service was fast and the food came out quickly! Hungry teens were very happy

Meat and options were good, just perfect ! Love coming here to support local business owner. We come here when we are lazy to cook. Servers was friendly as well!

Amazing service. Amazing food. I Highly recommend coming here to satisfy your AYCE KBBQ cravings.

The food is really good and the service is top tier like my onlyfans. The ambiance is really relaxed and easy to eat and talk.

Food is amazing, servers and owners are also very amazing, welcoming, and friendly, they are on point with bringing everything out on time and with making sure you're satisfied. The smell of the food hits you right in the face as soon as you walk in so you know it's going to bomb ! I didn't get pictures because we devoured everything before I got a chance to take any.

As you walk in, you hear the hustle and bustle of the servers and the customers just enjoying themselves. The ambience in the store is lively. There is no sad or mad face in this place just happiness and people enjoying their food we had option B which we had pork belly, Bulgogi spicy pork, the brisket and the short ribs. It was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anybody and everybody bring your family bring a date or bring a date with your family. No matter what, you will enjoy this place. Everybody here is so nice.

Like others have said, I would not trust all the 5 start reviews of this place. Myself and 3 others ate here over the weekend. Overall, service was great until I could hear the owner reprimanding what seemed to be a new employee at a table behind us who was bussing tables. The owner proceeds to walk around and bark at the other employees as well. Very annoying and unprofessional. I will also say that they need better ventilation. It was about 95* outside and felt the same inside. I've been to several other KBBQ establishments and this one is overall one of the worst.

This place is hands down the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Temecula. The service is top notch and second to none, the owner Gary is super friendly and welcoming. All the servers are always on top of getting you what you need. Also this place is all you can eat for a reasonable price, you can't beat it. The food is amazing and the meat selections are great, a few of my favorite are the spicy pork and short ribs. The side dishes they have are all home made and super flavorful a few of my favorites are the spicy cucumbers and the broccoli salad, the kimchi is also very tasty. The restaurant is always clean with a great vibe and music playing. They also have a mini arcade that the kids can play games for free, wow! nobody has that in their restaurant. This place definitely sets the bar when it comes to Korean BBQ so do yourself a favor and come eat here. The beer selection is great as well as the soju selection and flavors. I highly recommend the spot any day of the week.

Loved it! Visited from Chula Vista. Food was awesome, everything came out quick. The soup that comes with the AYCE is delicious! The service was amazing, super friendly staff. They checked on us frequently, without being overbearing, got us our requests right away. The owner is super funny and friendly, stopped by every table to make sure everyone was good. Will definitely make it a point to be back anytime we're in the area!

Stopped here after the wineries . Everything was delicious and service was amazing . Mike was a very good server , very quick and attentive

really wanted to enjoy my boyfriends and i's first time coming here, was greeted by the owner who came off very dismissive and rude while taking our drink orders. we also heard conversation from a table next to us asking a server about how the owner came off to them as well imagining they got thrown off also. fortunately timothy was an amazing server and catered to us through our whole dinner. the ventilation was also poor and it got really hot for a moment and broke a sweat. the servers are to offer customers free ice cream in return of giving a 5 star review while your handling the check. feels super forced and unauthentic so i don't trust most of the reviews on here.

If you're a fan of Korean BBQ--or even if you've never tried it before--do yourself a favor and visit this absolute gem of a restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The place is clean, well-lit, and has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel at home right away. But what truly elevates the experience here is the owner, Scary Gary. Gary is one of the friendliest and most passionate restaurant owners I've ever met. You can tell immediately that he truly cares about the quality of the food and the satisfaction of his guests. He personally came by to welcome us, walked us through the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great time. It's rare to see that level of personal attention, and it left a lasting impression. Now, let's talk about the food--because wow, it was amazing. Every single item we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. From the classic bulgogi to the pork belly, everything was perfection. The meat was tender and juicy, and the marinades were packed with authentic Korean flavor. The banchan (side dishes) were also excellent and plentiful, with all the traditional favorites like kimchi, pickled radish, seasoned bean sprouts, and more. They kept them coming, and we happily devoured every bite. One thing that really stood out was the portion size. Even though it's an all-you-can-eat setup, they don't skimp on anything. The initial serving sizes were already huge, and when we asked for more, they were just as generous. We didn't feel rushed or limited at all--just incredibly full and satisfied by the end of our meal. It's clear that Gary prioritizes value for his customers and wants everyone to leave with full bellies and big smiles. Another detail worth mentioning: the grill setup was clean and modern, and the staff were quick to change the grills and help out when needed. They checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed but also gave us the space to enjoy our meal at our own pace. In short, this place is the real deal when it comes to Korean BBQ. Whether you're going with a group of friends, family, or even for a solo feast, you're going to walk away with a new favorite spot. Between the incredible food, the enormous portions, and the kind, attentive service from Gary and his team, this is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Highly recommend. Come hungry. Leave happy and in pain. Thank you, Gary! Tofu soup is amazing!

Food was great and the service was fantastic. They gave plenty of recommendations and advice on cooking the food.

My friend and I ate here for the first time. Staff is very friendly and helpful in suggesting what to order. We had pork belly and bulgogi. We cooked it at the table. So it is a real event. They serve many tasty small dishes of veggies in sauces. It is all you can eat. We did not want to disappoint them! All were delicious. It is a lively place. We enjoyed the food and the whole experience. I would return. Do have a big appetite if you go.

Came here with my husband & my best friend to enjoy a last minute dine in here @ TKBBQ. The service did not disappoint, as well as the food which was awesome. All you can eat is $31.99 which the whole table had to purchase, not bad for all you can eat! Definitely try the short rib if you visit!! We will be coming back soon!! Our main servers name is Gary, he was delightful & extremely enjoyable to talk to! Thank you for making our experience worth while!!

I love this place! The other one down the street may be new and shiny but the service cannot compare to the OG Temecula BBQ spot. It's not as loud and it's much more enjoyable: the food is a great portion.

awesome place to come and eat! . Definitely recommend this place. Nice and awesome service. Good was great! Service was great!

Poor service. Meat was mostly tough. Limited menu. Will not eat here again. I thought it was under new ownership but appears to be the same owners. 2N1 Korean BBQ and Dpoong are better options with in Temecula.

Food is great and service is awesome! Place is also clean and its not hard to find. My kid and loved it! We would definitely come back again. ThNk you!

Best Korean BBQ in Temecula!! Excellent service great atmosphere!! Free ice cream good beer selection

Always a great time. Owner is super friendly, this is a mom and pop shop we will always support
