    I genuinely appreciated Rosa's service today. My brother and I both wanted to eat KBBQ after a long day of work. We ordered the 3P. The amount of meat we received was well worth the price! We had brisket, pork belly, and galbi. They put thought into how much food to provide for the price given. Rosa stopped by often to cook for us and changed our grill before we even asked. This place has been around for years. I've been coming here since my teens! Ambiance is mom and pop. I've recently moved back home for school, and I'm glad I have access to KBBQ just minutes away. I wish Hwang's many more years of success. A staple in Gardena.

    Tofu Kimchi (and pork!)

    I ordered the Tofu Kimchi and WOW, it was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, if I had to pick a last meal, this might be it. The portion was massive and lasted me three full meals and it tasted amazing every single time, even when reheated. What really blew me away was how much pork was packed in. So flavorful and satisfying, it completely exceeded my expectations. 5 stars!

    Yum!

    GOOD FOOD, DECENT SERVICE, AMAZING SALAD!! My bf and I went here before our movie date night, and I loved it. We literally whipped out yelp, and went to whatever Korean bbq that was closest! FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the 2 meats, and we picked the spicy pork, pork belly, and a few sides. My fav side was That friggin pancake thing, it was BOMB! It comes with 2 drinks, 2 rice, spicy cucumber, green salad, bean sprouts, and mashed potatoes. The only thing I didn't really like was potato salad- other than that, everything else was great! The meats were fresh and well seasoned, and I would definitely order the pork combo again! PRICE: 5/5 The price was $70.00 for two, including tax. It's about average, and I think it was decently priced. We had a lot of food, and it was really worth the price. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 2.5/5 Well, we did go during "hurricane Hillary" lol. So service was...well, not great, and not good either. It was my only negative feedback of our experience here, if I'm being honest. There was an older lady trying to serve the sides, and one guy seating, taking orders, ringing up, and trying to serve as well... as he was doing all of those things, us and other tables needed refills, napkins, to order other things...it's was just a mess. However, I know being short staffed must be the worst feeling for any business, so I try to give them grace. ALL AROUND: 4/5 I will definitely be coming back! After reading some of the other reviews, I see that people genuinely love this place, but the only complaint is the service. I know this place will continue to get better, and I hope when we go back it improves.

    Banchan. Love that they included pancake and potato salad.

    Home style Korean soup and dishes! Plus Korean BBQ with a burner on each (small) table which is great when there's just two of you. No need to wait to eat KBBQ with a large group, and because it's not AYCE they use higher quality meats than buffet style places. It's a family owned and run business that's been around for decades! Super friendly staff and the mom was cooking when we visited recently which was a huge plus for delicious authentic food. Portion sizes were excellent and they provided a lot of banchan side dishes including ones you don't always get at most Korean spots, yay. We ordered a bimbimbap and beef soup (galbi tang) and the soup really made me feel like I was eating homemade healthy comfort food. It had clear noodles and daikon and delicious meat on the bone. They're open late which is awesome. Just be aware that the last call is more than an hour before closing. When we ate recently we saw them turn away people 1 hour, 15 mins prior to the yelp listed close time.

    My new favorite Korean BBQ restaurant! It's not all you can eat but it's really good! So much flavor in all the meats and sides we ordered. We came in with a group of 8 and they say is right away and we're so accommodating and sweet with our kids. Our server even cut our kids some meat for them and played some kids music. It was so sweet of them and food was amazing! I highly recommend and will be back very soon!

    I'm not too picky when it comes to Korean BBQ, but I do prefer quality over quantity so I loved that Hwang's was no longer AYCE because the quality definitely showed in the meat selections we ordered. We ordered the Combo E which consisted of 5 meats of our choice (ok to double up) and either a soju or 5 sodas. We chose 2 brisket, 1 pork belly, 1 spicy bulgogi, and 1galbi. This was enough to feed our group of 7 adults and get us full, so you know Hwang's is not skimping on their portions. Also, 10/10 for service - the owner was SO sweet and personable. Looking forward to coming back the next time I am in the area.

    Oh my gosh! There is so many things to say about this place. My family and I have been coming here since 2016 and can never find something similar or better! I love getting their take out and even eating there! The food is always so flavorful and delicious!!! The customer service as well is so great and we love April so much she is so kind and welcoming!! Overall the best place to go to and eat with the family.

    Yummy brisket

    If you are looking for a place that is open late with great meats and friendly service, This is the place: Landed in LAX hungry after flying for 14.5 hours. Didn't get rental car until 10:30pmish. Was in search for Korean BBQ that is open late. Found this life saver. Walked in at 11:05pm. They close at midnight on Saturday. New management. The mom and son was Uber- friendly. Great service. Satifying bbq. We ordered Combo C for three people, choice of 3 meat and sides. Ordered Brisket, Bullogi, Boneless rib and pork belly. We couldn't eat them all, so we took the leftovers home. Definitely have to come back when in the area again.

    In Gardena this is the best Kbbq option. No frills, just good food and service. The menu isn't overly complicated. They have a few combos fairly priced with all the sides you need to fill you up. The meats + sides offered were of good quality and tasty. Highly recommend.

    Lil sides & beef brisket being cooked

    The food we ordered was a bountiful plenty, the beautiful hostess at the stand kindly greeted us & sat us. Immediately other people started coming in & the restaurant was busy but gave me a nostalgia feeling. It was the first time taking my little sister out & treating her to Korean bbq. Oh yeah they also let you keep all the food you ordered unlike most Korean bbq places !! Would & will come again :)

    Side dishes for bbq aka banchan
    Jenny M.

    Arrived just before 11pm and they still allowed us in and to order as normal - did not feel rushed at all considering it was getting close to closing time. The staff were really friendly. Food was great, we ordered two meats and a soup to share. The meat and all side dishes came out and I was so overwhelmed I had to ask if the kitchen could prepare the soup for take away. The lady came over to help us cook our bbq meats after which was nice as we were hungry and wanted to eat and leave so they could get on with their closing. We asked if we could take everything we couldn't eat away and they packed it for us nicely. There were a few others in the restaurant but they were finishing up. I really enjoyed it here and was very satisfied with my meal considering I literally rolled out of a nap and went to eat some bbq before sleeping again like a beast. Thank you for making my belly happy. Would recommend!

Now for the good things which there is a lot: The meat is great. I've noticed that the more popular Korean bbq spots like Gen or 92 in Torrance don't have good meat. This place 100% does. It tastes fresh. As for sides, you get kimchi, white rice, and a couple other things but there's also cilantro & onion mixed together which I thought was different. You get a salad and the assortment of sauce they provide was delicious. Their beer selection is mid but they offer soju too. I'm not very picky with beer. I enjoyed cass with my dinner. The brisket was great and if you like beef bulgogi, you would select their sirloin which is the same. The workers are incredibly friendly. They will change your grill, help put your food on the grill for you, clear out your table, etc etc. They all are very attentive. The tables are circular which is odd and then there's one big table in the back which is kind of in its own little room. I came on a Wednesday night and it was slightly busy so I can only imagine what a weekend night is like here. The music is fun & the food truly is 5 stars. I love Moon bbq. I will be back!

Their brisket sauce was a bit different and thicker than most kbbq places. Service was good and the workers were attentive!

We gave this place a try because we were excited to see they have Rice Wine here (since most of the mainstream KBBQ places didn't have this), and we were satisfied beyond our expectations. Parking: A very small dim lot next to the restaurant. Right below the small sign that sits above it. Ambience: We came on a Saturday night (7:00pm) expecting busy wait times but we called in and there was no wait! We were immediately seated. It's a very small restaurant, the booths are big enough to fit a family but bigger parties may need to call in to see if space is available. The vibes are especially different from most bigger and popular places but this qualifies as a hidden gem for sure. Service: Quick and nice! Second time coming to a place where they cook it for you at some points and serve you. They check on you often enough and were quick to see you get all that you ordered. Food: Absolutely nothing I've never had before, we knew we wanted brisket and pork belly, we skipped out on the combos + intestine sections bc of this. Luckily our two meat combo qualified us to also receive a soybean paste soup, steamed egg, and corn cheese for free! We additionally added rice paper to our order for a small charge. The menu is vast and I would like to come back here to try their different meats. I have never had a more flavorful brisket in my KBBQ experience before and the pork belly was thick enough and had that chewiness texture that made it so enjoyable. Employee was nice enough to inform us that the soup + steamed egg are carefully cooked with real flavorful ingredients, so expect high-quality. We didn't go into this place expecting AYCE since we believe places that offer à la carte specializes in quality, so please come with the same idea if you choose to go here! Regardless, our small bodies were filled by how much food we received! Overall, I gave this place a chance despite its smaller reviews, smaller atmosphere, and a generally smaller presence this had in comparison to its competitors. I would suggest you do the same too!
