The lady taking my order was very friendly and helpful. The truck appeared to be very clean. After I ordered, I was given a buzzer for when my meal would be ready. Their menu appears to be mainly Korean and Asian inspired. I ordered the Bulkogi loaded sweet potato fries with pulled pork. It was delicious and really hit the spot. And being at the gardens made it perfect so I could walk about 4 miles to get my digestion going. I recommend this food truck if you come across it.

Ordered ice tea, & when I pointed out to the server it appeared carbonated, she acknowledge it was not fresh brewed but from a soft drink machine (in the South!, in a Japanese restaurant!). I sent the house salad back because it was full of slimy, black, rotten greens. They brought miso soup instead that was just broth with slivered green onions & no sliced mushrooms or tofu. My expectations weren't high given its location in a tourist area but, if you are a local, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

I hate to report my disappointment :( I tried this place twice to give it a fair go, but both times…read moreI ended up feelings underwhelmed. I will say, the bibimbap is quite good and I was not disappointed in the flavor or quality of that dish, but my husband's pork katsu was so small and absent of meat that it looked like fried pork skin. See photo attached. I was drawn to Mura because I love Korean food, but also because of the conveyor belt. There were NO fresh foods on the conveyor belt....only a few prepackaged cookies or desserts. Super sad. The server was also extremely curt with us on both visits. My husband visited with me once and a friend the second time, both commenting on how little hospitality he showed. The environment is definitely not a bring your friends and chat place. There are only bar seats in front of the conveyor belt......with nothing on it. The final piece I'll add is the price for what you get is unreasonable. And I believe I may have been charged the wrong thing? I just left it alone, but it definitely was confusing. I ordered the stone bowl bibimbap which noted 12 plus 6 dollars for a fried egg. I assumed my total was 18 and it came to 22. No where on the menu does it differentiate between stone bowl and whatever the other cheaper option was. Not the biggest issue; if the food and service had been different I'd probably not have thought so much about it. When I brought up the difference to the server, he continued with his curt approach. The bibimbap was good, like I mentioned, but I'd just order it to go if I wanted it.

I genuinely and wholeheartedly wish I could give this 0 stars. There is absolutely no way these…read moregood reviews are real. I'm convinced all the good reviews were either paid for or are from family members of the owner. Before I start, I just want to say that I personally feel for the server. There was only one server for the whole restaurant and he was balancing the food and the bar for the dinner service, which is wild in itself. Despite him having an attitude, I didn't let that bother me because I truly felt bad for him. I also want to mention that everything on the conveyor belt was dessert (chocopies, rice snacks, candies). This is not what was advertised. Where is the food?? What's the point of the conveyor belt if everything is made to order? Is it just there for funsies? I love the concept of a conveyor belt, which is why I came here in the first place. But it was completely useless. Now let's get on with the food... It's insulting to call this food Korean. The yoogaejang broth tasted like the broth you get when you make those $0.99 ramen packets from Walmart. It tasted SO CHEAP. And there were only two tiny pieces of meat in there. This was furthest thing from real yoogaejang. Let's move on to the beef ramen. As you can see in the picture, the beef ramen looks gunky and disgusting. Aside from how it looks, let's talk about the flavor. Tell me why the beef ramen broth tasted like shrimp?? That caught us all off guard. And the noodles were definitely ramen packet noodles. I don't know who they think they're fooling with those cheap noodles. That was ridiculous! THE TTEOKKBEOKKI OMGGGG How can you call that tteokkbeokki?? It had 0 flavor. It tasted like nothing. Where's the flavor?? It was so bland. The pickled radishes tasted so off, I can't even explain it... ANNDDDDD we had to wait 40 minutes for six wings. They claimed that another table took our wings, but I highly doubt that because we didn't see any other order of wings coming out of the kitchen. The kimchi radish and the gochujang wings were the only good things we had. Very sad. And to top it all off, they require an 18% gratuity...for what?? The food was so expensive for no reason, tasted horrible, was not Korean in the least bit, and the service was horrible. I've never been this disappointed in a restaurant before.

Growing up in a town called Palisades Park, NJ...I have been to more Korean restaurants than I can…read morecount. It is a part of me, and by far my one of favorite things to eat. My mom now lives in Myrtle Beach. I come here to see her often and she always tells me how much she misses the Korean restaurants back home. So I found this place and decided to give it a whirl with very low expectations. The price for starters blew me away- $25 a person AYCE hotpot and bbq is almost unheard of! I really didn't believe it until I physically saw the bill. I also like how they have all the raw meats/fish and veggies set up in a buffet like style for you to bring back to the table to cook for yourself. Each person at the table gets their own soup aka hotpot that they can put whatever they want into it-I got the mushroom one and it was just simply outstanding. For the Vegans and Vegetarians- so many options here for you all as well! Everything was so fresh and even when I was full- I couldn't stop eating. We all definitely ate more than $25's worth. The service was also fantastic, the waitress constantly kept coming to check on us to make sure our table was good. Everything was seasoned properly and very fresh with a ton of dipping sauces that would make anyone who goes there happy. I will however say, they need to step up on the side dishes- the kimchi could have been a better quality along with their cold radish and spicy cucumber side, maybe possibly add some type of salad bar. The actual bbq pit on the tables could also be a little bit bigger, I found it to be small and it made it hard to cook all the meats and veggies at the same time. But other than that hats off the owner for making such a fantastic inexpensive Korean restaurant in Myrtle Beach. This place is a win for sure!

Lava Korean Steakhouse ended up being one of our favorite finds during our Myrtle Beach vacation…read more We enjoyed it so much that we visited three separate times during our trip for lunch, happy hour, and dinner. Every visit was consistently excellent. One of the things that really stood out to us was the variety on the menu. Whether you're craving Korean dishes, sushi, burgers, seafood, or tacos, there truly is something for everyone. The prices were also very reasonable, making it a great option for both tourists and locals. During our visits, we tried fried flounder, sushi, sashimi, chicken hibachi, smash burgers, and a crispy chicken sandwich with a large portion of tender chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The sushi was especially memorable, and we found ourselves ordering the spicy tuna more than once. Happy hour was another highlight. The food and drink specials offered great value, and we loved sitting on the porch enjoying the live music. Our only disappointment was that the music wrapped up at 7:00 p.m. We would have happily listened longer. We also stopped by on Taco Tuesday and sampled the El Pastor, Tasty Tacos, and The Winner. All three were delicious, but the El Pastor tacos were definitely my favorite. I enjoyed them so much that I ended up ordering three of them! If you're visiting the Myrtle Beach area, be sure to add Lava Korean Steakhouse to your list of places to try. If you're local, this is absolutely a restaurant worth supporting. Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices, and a menu that keeps you coming back to try something new.

Only after they finished was I finally able to check in. When I gave them my name, I was met with nothing but attitude. I asked if I could be seated outside, but the hostess ignored my request and seated me inside instead. I also asked for the parking validation code and was told that my waiter would provide it. When the waiter finally came to the table, he didn't introduce himself and seemed very rushed. When I asked for the parking code, he gave it to me without saying much else. I ordered the fish of the day sandwich, which was a huge disappointment. The piece of fish was so small it didn't even cover the entire roll, and it had no flavor at all. Charging $19 for that sandwich was a complete waste of money. When the waiter asked if I wanted dessert, I replied that I don't eat desserts. His response was, "Well, I have to ask," and then he simply walked away. After bringing the check, there was no "thank you for coming" or "hope to see you again." The entire staff acted like they were unhappy to be there, and it showed in every interaction. I will never be back, and I can't recommend this place to anyone.

They have a nice variety of Thai curries and sushi. I love nigiri and they had a really nice variety to choose from. I tried the Tuna, Salmon, Octopus and Spicy Scallop Nigiri. The only thing I will say is that the nigiri is a little pricy. I had 8 pieces and it ended up being about $30 before tax and tip. They were big pieces but that is also difficult because you are supposed to eat them in one bite. My friends had the drunken noodles and the yellow Thai curry. Both were a big hit. I would definitely come back and try this place again and experience more of the options available.
