MOOHAN Korean BBQ

Who’s marking this a five star is the real question. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in the past trailing twelve months, and I eat out a lot. If going, be sure to bring your own: Fork, knife, napkin, kindness, and benedryl. Finding the place requires a real safety gamble (see surprise homeless person photo under the mezzanine), I wasn’t able to snap a pic of the shopping cart one who scarily drove by us. The service, specifically from Randy, was actually very rude. I asked for a knife (to cut my salad) and he scoffed. He said “we don’t allow guests to have knives.” I said “how am I going to cut my salad?” He said “with a scissor.” And he proceeded to cut two (yes, two) of my leaves of iceberg lettuce with a scissor. You read that right. He tossed the plate back in front of me. I then asked for a fork. He brought a plastic one. I thought it was a joke. Randy forced us to order from the iPad and offered no assistance on process or procedure. The napkins, which were rationed, were extremely small cocktail napkins. Seriously thought it was a joke. Food allergies, forget about it. I left the restaurant and just bought Benadryl instead. Real lack of care and competence on this regard. The meat was good at least (of the 10 options, I could have two, due to gluten). EDM music was very loud inside. I think if you have a restaurant in LA you might need utensils. For $127, I expect more, and you should too. Suggest rebrand from “Moohan” to “MooSCAM.”

This place is so nice inside and clean! They way they have things set up is so organized you order all your items at your table from a tablet and they bring it out in a very timely manner. We had no problem with ordering and getting more of the items we wanted bc the process is a dream. They have so many options. The only that sucked was the time limit but I understand there are people that can ruin it so I get it just felt a little rushed but I was the one being mindful of the time limit. The servers would give you the heads up right at 15 mins and I thought that was great. Super nice and helpful staff cooking your items and getting your grills changed out immediately when needed.

The meat quality was exceptional. The stand outs for us were the wagyu brisket, the wagyu platter, the beef tongue, and the LA kalbi. They have a ton of appetizers and other meats that you can take from the buffet area, but I’d recommend not filling up on those since the meats you order from the tablet are far higher quality. The servers were incredibly attentive, clearing away empty plates instantly, changing grills quickly and bringing over a new water pitcher as soon as it was empty. It’s the best service I’ve ever seen at an all you can eat kbbq restaurant. The kitchen does take a bit of time to get the meat out after you order, but given how fresh the meat was, it seems like they’re preparing it when you order instead of in advance, so I’ll take that trade off for high quality any day. They do solicit for reviews for a free drink, and I typically avoid places that do that since it inflates the rating, but I think this place was worth its high rating.

Came here during lunchtime and it wasn’t crowded at all, which made for a really comfortable experience. The atmosphere was great. Parking can be a bit tricky—make sure to park in the H Mart parking lot and remember your license plate number since they’ll validate it for you. If you park in a lot that gives you a ticket, you’re in the wrong spot, so be sure to park in the correct building. Meat-wise, it was okay overall, but Korean BBQ places in general have gotten pretty pricey these days. The service was great, and they offer self-serve meat and food stations, which was convenient. Any soups or dishes not available in the self-serve area need to be ordered through the tablet. We noticed the meats ordered through the tablet were noticeably better in quality than the grab-and-go options, and we ended up ordering most of our meats that way. ⸻ I was excited when they mentioned you’d get a free drink for leaving a review. I left a four-star review, but they insisted it had to be five stars and took the drink away because I didn’t comply. It honestly felt almost like being bribed for a perfect rating—who takes a drink away for not giving five stars? That experience completely ruined what could have been an enjoyable visit and led me to lower my rating.

This place is our new go-to spot for KBBQ! The meat selection is awesome—everything’s fresh, well-marinated, and there’s a great variety to choose from. I love the buffet-style setup where you can grab your own meats, hot foods, and salads. Service is amazing—everyone’s super attentive and friendly, always quick to change the grill and make sure you have what you need. The soondubu (hot tofu soup) and steamed egg were both so good, comforting and flavorful. The service here is amazing! Nate is very attentive! Their in-house lager is also surprisingly great, and only $5! Perfect with all the grilled meat. We’ve already decided this will be our regular KBBQ spot. Can’t wait to come back!
