Moon BBQ 2: A Korean Barbeque Experience in Los Angeles

Been coming here since early teen years and this place always hits the spot. Love coming here with friends and family. Second baby on the way and was craving this so much. The side dishes and salad bar are always fresh. I get fish cakes, kimchi, pickled cucumber, corn, mashed potatoes, sometimes a salad and japchae with my meal. They didn't have the japchae when me and my husband went for when they opened. But the KBBQ is so good. We usually get brisket, pork belly, beef Bulgogi which we got this time. They always have rice for you on the side and we also got miso soup. Meat, kimchi, and rice is always the perfect trio. They always play club music which is what we're used to.

If you are a fan of Asian food and are looking for an indie little nice spot to satisfy your cravings of authentic Korean BBQ - you just landing on the right place. Let me start with saying that I only landing on this restaurant because the restaurant I was originally wanted to visit went out of business, and finding a parking a spot in this part of town is so hard (not that it's easy anywhere else) that once I was parked I wasn't leaving without my dinner. Across the street I saw a sign "Korean BBQ" and said "We are going there!". So we did. The Menu. I want to mention, the person like me is always looking for nice aesthetically looking... well everything. The menu isn't pretty, however it carries some very simple information. You only have 3 options of food and the party must be a minimum of 2. Okay, it is clear enough, so I don't want to reduce my rating. The Drinks. The choice of flavored Soju is surprising, and will respond to everyone's "wants". Here is my first complain. Paying for drinks - is pure pressure! The entire set up is prepaid "ALL YOU CAN EAT", so if you choose to add a drink, while already at a table, there will be a server hanging over your "soon to be drunk" shoulder, to settle that bill. Assumption is, this place has experienced a lot of "Dine and Dash", but I didn't intend to ask. The food options that didn't impress me: Miso. I love a good miso soup, however it was really spicy and there were no options on it. The Sauces. Actually, I have the same exact complain. They had a bean paste sauce I loved, but even that has been changed to a spicy version of it. The food option that have sent me to heaven: Beef Bulgogi. Classic, and so good! Beef Cubes (only with B menu). Absolutely amazing. The salad bar. Self-served, my favorites were the pasta salad (and that's a hard one, I'm very picky with my pasta), fish cakes, rice paper, and kimchi! Also, a pro tip, add those onions to your Bulgogi. And I saved best for the last, Herbed Pork Belly (Only available with B Menu). I can't describe it - you must have it! Restaurant overall has a vibe of Indie little hidden place for their own, this is not a mainstream place, where the servers explain things to you, or help you cook. They will expect you to know what you are doing. Sitting is very pleasant, this place might not have any high end furniture, but i truly didn't need any. Perfect for a large group of people or a family. The biggest discomforts I had were a little down the road. First, the bathrooms. With an all you can eat, they should expect people to use the restrooms a lot, I wish they were a little more taken care of. Second, OMG, please change the music! Most restaurants don't have any professional put together playlist and play some random stuff, but you can't play a nightclub music at a lunch-dinner place that serves large tables. I already have to scream across the table "Happy Birthday" to the birthday boy, I don't want to scream over music too. I come here to eat and chat, not party. None of the "discomforts" were serious enough to lower my rating. 5 Stars, from 15+ dine ins of this place, and I will be coming back again.

We've been coming to Moon BBQ for years. It's more affordable compared to other Korean BBQ spots. I like the salad bar which offers lots of side dishes. When you grill they are attentive to replacing the grill plate so it doesn't over burn. You will always feel full when you leave this place, so pace yourself to avoid food coma. My only complaint is the music is too load, we can hardly hear our conversation with our group. Just a tad bit lower would be great. Good luck with parking tho...they have valet in the lot, but often you would need to look for street parking. Overall good experience at Moon BBQ

Come here once a month. Food is always great. Service is amazing! (Shout out to the young guy who always helps us I will ask your name and update this).

Went into LA Thursday night with husband to visit my son and his girlfriend. We ate at a Korean BBQ restaurant called Moon BBQ2. Parking in L A is difficult, but you had to valet park at this shopping area as there was really no parking. However, the food and customer service definitely made up for it. Price was $23 per person all you can eat. We would go back.

Good, affordable, clean Korean bbq restaurant. It's consistently good and food comes out pretty quick. Parking can be a pain but there is valet I think it is 5$. Definitely a good place to go if looking for a casual environment for a good price. You pay for everything before your seated so when your finished you're just welcome to leave!

This is our Korean bbq spot! We love coming here. At this point we are regulars! The waiters are always really nice . Nothing beats the salad and side bar! P.S: You will get full!

This place has a great look and atmosphere to it. It is usually busy, especially at night, so expect a wait time, but very worth it. The meats were delicious and plentiful. The grill takes a few minutes to heat up, but fine afterwards. !!!!The bathroom situation!!!! Horrible decision to have a 1 toilet bathroom. It may have not been any other option, but as a customer it is a very inconvenience. That is the only negative thing about this place. Other than that, a must try!
