2n1 Korean BBQ

Been to a lot of kbbq and I really want this place to succeed. I recommend ditching that stupid robot and hiring more actual humans though. We did have to ask for sides upwards of 3 times to receive them, but the girl was doing fantastic for being alone in the whole section. They were out of everything spicy which is a bust, and didn't have rice paper. Get the fried chicken it's ridiculoooooous

We came here for my son's 13th birthday. He loves Korean BBQ and we needed a place that would fit a larger group as our normal spot can't accommodate large groups. The food was good, the service was great and my little nephew got a kick out of the robot food runner. Will be back!

Best KBBQ in Temecula valley. I tried this place as it was closer than driving to SD or OC, and was more than pleasantly surprised. The menu and selections are on par with other KBBQ places. However, the service blew others out of the water. Our waitress was attentive and caring. All orders coming out promptly. The owner/chef personally delivered some of the best cuts of steak to our table with professional and considerate explanations to what we were eating - something I have not experienced anywhere else. You get a real sense that the staff genuinely care about your experience. I will definitely become a regular here.

I had a delightful experience with the high-quality meat served here. The staff were friendly and efficient in their service. The youthful ambiance adds to the charm of the place. I sincerely hope this establishment thrives for the benefit of the Temecula community. :)

Between the amazing server and the kind owner had a very amazing experience here. The meat were great and personal loved bibimbop. Get here early gets busy fast

This place was absolutely delicious!! Went about a week or two back and the food was spectacular. Service was a bit slow but considering how packed the place got it’s understandable for a new spot. Will definitely be coming back! Lunch special is insane!!

The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was fun, friendly and family oriented. Loved the music and the robot waiters and waitresses. My daughter’s and I recently visited with our Taekwondo studio and family and I can say with 100% certainty that we will be back. The owners did a nice job of infusing the Korean culture and their unique foods and cooking methods into this restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful experimence!

Really good Korean BBQ. Shopping center seems kind of dead but it's super busy inside. The free side items like fried chicken and ramen and kimchi are really good.

Fantastic Korean BBQ that you could only get in Korea or LA. Great service and great quality of meats and meat selection. Get the Premium A menu - definitely worth it!

As a Chinese dude, i moved here during my mid 30s. Over the past few years, i get used to everything American way except food! I would say 2in1 is one of two authentic asian food restaurants here and it is the best! The flavor reminds me of my childhood korean village yummy food (黑龙江province, chaoxian village) though i am 汉族. It is so authentic. kitchen stuffs and boss both speaks korean and they cook in the real asian way. As a Chinese, it is really a pity that no authentic Chinese food in town (own American Chinese food,not authentic) but i am so grateful that we have authentic Korean food here and the boss and and service people are really really nice. It is our only family dinner restaurant!

This is by far the best Korean bbq place around. I rather drive the hour it takes to get here than go anywhere else. The staff is always super helpful and friendly. I have never waited more than 3 minutes for food to be brought to the table at a consistent rate. I’ve have parties as large as 15 people and they never cease to amaze me with their hospitality. Food is ALWAYS tasty and their cheesy corn skillet is to die for. 1000/10 recommend this place to everyone. They have great prices for all you can eat and the 2 hour time frame is PLENTY for how fast they bring out food when you order again and again.

I’ve been coming here for two years now, and the vibe is unbeatable — sizzling grills, lively energy, and that perfect mix of fun and comfort. It’s never disappointed, and my whole family loves it just as much as I do, making every visit feel like a tradition we’re happy to keep.

The food is amazing. Regular menu$33 each person gets your choice of five meats to choose and grill in front of you. You get to grill thin sliced meat to your liking. They have unlimited Korean side dishes.Their house kimchi is the best. Servers are friendly. Ours was Greg with beautiful curls. He’s very nice!

We went here with 2 pescatarians in our party. The menu of sides was expansive and we were impressed with the choices that were perfect for the non-meat earers. There was so much to choose from! The menu for the meat itself was amazing! The quality of meat was delicious. Our server, Kayla, and the entire team - including the robot server - gave our table amazing service. Highly recommended place for all you can eat Korean BBQ.

All around 5 and the only KBBQ we go to in Temecula/Murrieta. They bring out moment of portions at once!

Reasonable pricing. Attentive wait staff. Good meats without needing to upgrade.

Excellent all you can eat Korean BBQ experience. The meat selection was excellent, the prices were great, the service was absolutely fantastic. It was definitely an experience that went above and beyond expectations. Every time you order something, it shows up really fast. They changed the grill out often and hassle free. The brisket and bulgogi were excellent, sliced just right for grilling. The soondubu soup was just the right amount of flavor and spice. The sides that you can order were very generous. The fried chicken was huge! Other kbbq spots give you little chucks, not here! In a sea of mediocre KBBQs, this spot sure has stood out as a great experience. There is plenty of seating for small and large parties. There is a huge parking lot that's easy to get in and out of. It is convenient to get to since it's right off the freeway.

Me and my wife have been coming here for a while now. We’ve eaten KBBQ in Korea town and this place still out ranks all those places. Meat is always super tender and waitresses are super nice. The owner or manager shows up from time to time and treats all this customers well. We’ve brought so many family and friends here and will continue to do so. BEST CORN CHEESE !!

Best Korean BBQ in the area and beyond. Started coming here about 2 years ago and it's still just as good as the first time. Great selection of meats and delicious flavors. Many sides to choose from and as of yet all have tasted amazing, my favorite being the soondubu. Every time we come everyone is very attentive and have never had any bad experiences. We will continue to introduce our family and friends to this place.

Arrived at about 4:00pm on a Saturday. Only 1 group in front of us. Recommend coming before 4:00 because I saw a line grow as we ate. We got the premium A and it did not disappoint. Get all of the premium steaks as they are very high grade and after all you are paying for it. Service was top notch. We never waited long for our server to stop by. Highly recommend. Final word, if you come late on a Saturday, plan on waiting. As we left, there was a line out the door with groups sitting outside waiting.

2n1 Korean BBQ is my favorite all-you-can-eat spot! The meat is always fresh and comes in a great variety, and the side dishes are tasty and well-prepared. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable, perfect for family or friends gatherings. No matter how often I go, it’s always delicious and fun!

I’ve been to quite a few Korean BBQ spots, and this one stands out. The meat quality is excellent, tender and full of flavor. The side dishes were fresh, tasty, and offered a great variety. Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s in a busy plaza, but you can usually find a spot with a short walk. Using the Yelp waitlist is a big help since the wait times can get long. Overall, this is one of the better KBBQ experiences in the area and worth checking out.

The best korean bbq that is local to me and I wont go to any other one in town. The service is really good and I liked the selection on meats and sides. If you are looking for kbbq spots in Temecula this is the one!

I’m a simple person. I like beef belly and brisket. The meat quality here is great and beats mr bbq. The Soondubu jjigae (which I recommend) is tasty, but once you near towards the end of the soup it loses its flavor :/. Make sure to get ssamjang to dip the meats in. The sides are lackluster honestly. They don’t have the potato salad, cucumber kimchi, bean sprouts etc. and the salad isn’t Korean style but it’s still decent nonetheless. The aged kimchi is pretty good though. I don’t really like their spicy sauce, wish they had Mr bbq’s special house sauce instead but yeah, they need to improve on the sides/dipping sauce aspect.

It’s was great food quality but odd service. Went with friends and was delicious. The staff was… distracted and inattentive. When we did talk to someone, it was rushed and didn’t feel very caring. Price was great, atmosphere was fun, service could be improved. Good with friends.

We t for a birthday party. We had 20 people and all of us had to order the same thing even though we were split up on 4 different tables. I would have liked to upgrade my meal without making all 18 other people have to upgrade. But the meat we were able to get was ok. Sides were decent also.

Perfectly fine kbbq place. The smoke hoods/chimneys were very effective, you won’t smell like kbbq afterwards lol.

Rating: Temecula 4, LA 3. Had the regular ayce. Meat options and quality were okay. Ordered different marinated meats but they tasted similar. Banchan is ordered upon request. Definitely an option if you need to scratch the itch and you're in Temecula. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. Kind even though she had to rush us along because the kitchen was gonna close soon. She was communicative and really pushed us along in the 30 minutes we had. But once the check dropped, so did she. Even though we were still in the middle of our dinner experience. Lol. So had to keep flagging randoms for help (drink refills, clear plates for space at our table, water, napkins). It's an ideal location for a night out. Would recommend dining earlier to experience the shops nearby otherwise they'll be closed after a late dinner.

I went about 2 times and each time I went the service was so bad my table only saw the server 2 times and that’s it so we weren’t really able to eat all the food we wanted and it was so pricey for the bad service and I don’t know why we have to do gratuity when we rarely saw the server but either than that the food was good. I believe the manager should train their servers better bc this was not it. I’m really upset about the service.

Id like to preface by saying, we have been here more than five times. There's always a decent wait, which is not a problem because we are used to waiting for Korean BBQ at other establishments outside of Temecula. We're avid KBBQ people so it pains me to write this, but the service is just not there with 2n1. The host and/or hostesses have always been great, but the servers, food runners, even the people that change out the grills - all look miserable. Are they getting beef in the kitchen somewhere?? You think they'd smile getting 20% tip of a very steep $34 per person (for the BASIC). Nobody smiles. No one says you're welcome. Nobody even looks you in the eyes. It's like every time we order something, we are a hassle to them. Even if we aren't a hassle, that's how you are treated. Which is crazy because with all you can eat, you end up ordering quite a few times, so you think it would be expected that people need to order food, lots of times! It just sucks because I know everybody has an off day, but we have not met one friendly server one time here, and like I said, we've been here at least 5 times now. Food is mid compared to most establishments but it's the closest option we have in Temecula valley, which is why we've frequented this establishment as many times as we have. We've given it an honest shot, and I'm sad to say we will now just be eating KBBQ at home or making the drive up to Riverside for better service, prices and food. Oh and they don't have potato salad 😭.

The side dishes were old and dry ( fish cake and daikon. ) green salad were not fresh as if sir in refrigerator overnight. I had to send it back.

I’ll start with the positives: the food tasted great and we were seated quickly, which gave me high hopes. And noting that this is a first time. Unfortunately, everything else went downhill from there. The service was shockingly inattentive. We had to flag someone down multiple times and have not had great service, I called them to find out if they had rice cakes in which they stated that they have them and was extremely disappointed to hear only to find out they didn’t have any when we already ordered. The lady delivering our plates of meat was putting down the plates aggressively. It had no sort of socialization with us even when we said thank you, no emotion or anything like the lady had a bad day or something. The atmosphere wasn’t much better. It was loud. Would I come back? Probably not. If all you care about is flavor, maybe it’s worth a try. But if you’re expecting decent service or a comfortable dining experience, this place misses the mark.

Food is okay . I only liked the Kimchi Soup . The crispy chicken is not that tasty . I ordered Kimchi Fried rice , does not taste that good , too mushy , Ordered Hawaiian beef , only bulgogi keep being served . The soda is so flat . Only 3 kinds of appetizers were served and not that tasty . Their servers work hard and the bus boy too . Only the food is not the best , especially the appetizers first served only 3 kinds . If you’ve been to a nice bbq Korean place you will know what I am talking about.

Very bold to be in the heart of Temecula, a semi-military town, and to disrespect our veterans and military on veterans day. Any other day, the military discount, which I only found out just recently, is offered any other day but just not on veterans day. What sense does that make? I would urge other veterans and military members to not tolerate this disrespect and take your business elsewhere. This used to be a great comfort spot but I do not support anti-american beliefs.

This is the second time we came here and the experience was still bad. We thought it might be different but still bad. The meat quality is still very subpar. We got the beef brisket and it was all fatty meat. I felt like I was eating rubber. If the owner keeps using the fatty meat, you will lose a lot of customers. The air quality was bad. I felt like I can’t breathe. I was looking at the hood and it wasn’t sucking in the air. I will contact the health department. Service was way subpar. The server disappeared after she took our first orders. Then we waited a long time for the next food. Sigh…I’m very disappointed with this place.

I came to this restaurant today and was shocked by how I was treated. I arrived with my trained service dog, who is required for my disability, and was immediately told I could not enter. This is despite the fact that they have a sign on their door clearly stating that service dogs are welcome, and despite federal law (ADA) that requires businesses to allow service animals. When I politely explained that my dog is a service animal, they still refused entry. This was not only disappointing but also discriminatory. Service dogs are highly trained and protected by law, and no one should have to fight for their legal right to access a public business. I had been looking forward to dining here, but after this experience, I will not be returning. I hope management takes the time to train staff on the ADA and treat future guests with the respect and inclusion they deserve.

We joined the waitlist through Yelp and arrived when the site showed there was only one party ahead of us. We also confirmed that our name was on their iPad waitlist. After that, we were never acknowledged again. We waited about 30 minutes without being seated, while five parties who were listed behind us (groups of 2, 2, 5, 3, and 2) were called and seated. When my partner tried to ask the host how much longer our table would take, she walked past him without acknowledging him. I’ve never had a bad experience here before, but this situation was frustrating and disappointing, and it definitely changed how I feel about this place.

The food was really good, I would rank it best in Temecula. Sadly the biggest issue I had was how the restaurant was really dirty. The seats had food crumbs and looked like it was not wiped down properly. Our table also had food crust and it was really sticky. The worst part is the restrooms, it was so dirty! This might be the worst restrooms in all of Temecula. There was only one working stall and they didn't have toilet paper. I kindly asked the front if they could refill it while waiting to eat, after I finished eating I used the restroom again they still didn't put toilet paper inside. The food is good, but they need to do better job at maintaining cleanliness.

Like everyone has said in the reviews, the food is alright. The service was really bad. We weren’t welcomed in, and the servers aren’t really welcoming or talkative. We noticed that with everyone around us as well. We were even talking to the other tables about how when you try and get the servers’ attention, they just ignore you. They did that to the other 2 tables as well. The family that was sitting next to us was trying to ask for more about the food because they didn’t know what anything was. It was their first time. And my brother had to help them because the server wasn’t helpful. The bathrooms are so dirty, and toilet paper was all over the ground. It was a horrible experience. Last story short, our family won’t be returning. They have paid or someone is making fake accounts. Once you write a bad review, there are multiple “accounts” that write good reviews. Not good business. They are a typical “mean girl.”

if i could give 0 stars i would. i come every week/weekend by myself. today i joined the yelp waitlist got a text my table was ready for the host to tell me that they don’t do parties of 1 on the weekend, that they were so sorry. i told the host i come every weekend and have never been told that. then she said okay if you want to wait additional 10 mins that’s fine we are a full house & we have larger parties that accommodate to the tables better. someone who was below me on the waitlist got sat before me as well, i was religiously checking the waitlist to see if i was being ignored. i said that was fine. i then got sat and was eating and the owner asked if i wanted more meat i said no so he turned off my burner & printed out my check. never asked if i wanted anything else. my kind server came over & saw that i told her the situation then she asked if i wanted something else and she was deeply sorry. i will never spend a penny here again. as a regular & someone who has friends & family who come here all the time. we will all stay away.

The food was decent, but unfortunately the service really took away from the experience. The servers seemed untrained, unwelcoming, and overall uninterested in helping guests. Side dishes were consistently delayed, and we waited nearly 40 minutes for our toddler’s fried chicken. We followed up several times and were told they were busy, yet we kept seeing fried chicken being served to other tables. It was frustrating—especially with a hungry toddler having a breakdown while waiting. We spoke with the manager, paid for the meal we didn’t even finish, and left disappointed.
