    Classic Soondae soup
    Minji K.

    Was super excited to find a restaurant that specializes in soondae (Korean blood sausage)! They sell everything from classic steamed soondae to soups. We got the classic soondae soup with bone broth and spicy soondae soup, both without intestines. The soondae was very chewy and the classic broth was on the lighter side. I added some pepper and spicy chili paste for added flavor. It tasted great with the kimchi and pickled radishes. The spicy broth definitely had a kick to it and had lots of pepper flakes inside. They ddukbokki took awhile to come out but once we got it, we enjoyed how it tasted like classic spicy rice cake with fish cake in it. It only had half of a boiled egg, but it was still good paired with the spicy and sweet sauce. They had lots of seating indoors. Definitely will be coming back to try more items.

    Still one of my favorite places to get Korean soup. Our go to is still the Soondae soup. The pork meat sampler combo is now a separate order vs a combo option, but still just as hearty and delicious. They now do a soup coupon deal where you buy a punch card for $150 and you get 10 meals out of it with 11 dishes to select from. The only catch is it's not shareable, as in if you came here with a friend, the punch card can only be used for your meal. Great deal as some of the items are ranging $18-20/plate... so you save up to $5 per meal depending on the order. If I lived closer I would definitely get the coupon deal. The kimchi is still the best in the area, so fresh and crisp. Clean restaurant, great service from the ladies working here. Really tasty soondae in Colorado!

    Back home in Hawaii we have the same chain restaurant that sells the soondaeguk. I was obsessed with that back home and while I am out in Colorado, I was surprised to find this chain restaurant here too. So I had to go and try. The restaurant itself wasn't as big as the one we have back home but it's was a nice clean space and felt very homey. The people there are so very nice as well and they ask if you want hot or cold water. I opt for the hot water which is of course their hot barley tea. While I am here I order my usual soondaeguk and soondae mix plate. I order the extras because I feel like the amount of meat and sausage in the soup isn't enough lol that or I'm just a big eater!! Either way I'm always satisfied after that meal!!! I will say that the broth here has wayyy more flavor than the broth back home. I really like depth in flavor of the bone broth which made the soup taste so much better after adding in my salty shrimp paste and crushed perilla seeds to enhance the broth flavor!! If I'm in Colorado again, I'm definitely coming back here to get my soondaeguk fix!!!

    Known for their soondae, but perhaps even better are their soups and kimchi! We loved this hearty meal and were so pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of their kimchi as well. Everything is very generously portioned, and we left after the meal feeling absolutely ballooned. The owners are friendly and hardworking. Lots of indoor seating, can fill up pretty quickly even on a Monday evening!

    This place was very clean, all of my silverware and glasses were shiny. The food was good but I felt it lacked flavor. The banchan was very spicy!! almost hard to enjoy. Typically there would be none left but due to spice I had to save it for later. I was looking forward to the egg but even that one lacked a bit of flavor. I was still happy. I just have had better korean food. I feel like Denver lacks this, which is why I took the drive to Aurora expecting to be blown away. I still cant find better korean food than a place back in the springs. The most delicious thing I had here was their broth. I picked the bowl up to my lips and all. I originally came here for the beef rib soup, but didnt see it on the menu so ordered the dolsot bibimbap.

    DELICIOUS. Camera definitely didn't get to eat first. We devoured the food as soon as it came out. Authentic Korean food for great value. Their house kimchi is so good. Ordered the bulgogi and spicy beef soup with glass noodles. Would've ordered the soondae but I don't eat pork. It looked really good though! If there was a halal soondae I would definitely come back to try it.

    The spicy pork neck bone soup is so tasty! I tried it for the first time with my family and it did not disappoint! So much flavor! It's a must try. I'll be back for some more. I tried the soondae for that first time too. It's doesn't compare with the bone soup but it's equally good.

    Moobongri is an area in Korea known for its soondae (Korean blood sausage) and is also one of the most popular, if not the most popular, soondae chain restaurants in Korea. Having had Moobongri Soondae in Korea before, I was both excited and nervous to try this location's. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. First off, the restaurant is squeaky clean from the dining area to the bathrooms. No matter how good the food is, if a restaurant is dirty, it's an automatic turn-off for me. The food was not exactly like the one I had in Korea but it was pretty close! The best thing here is the kimchi. The kimchi is probably the best and most authentic I have had in Colorado. The spicy soondae soup had a deep flavor and was really good with a healthy portion of meat. The side plate of meats was good but, again, just doesn't have that exact Korean flavor which is masked when put into the soup. I would definitely not get the tteokbbokki here. It was very watery and flavorless. No stars were taken away for the tteokbbokki though since they really aren't known for that. Service was spot on. We never had to wait too long on anything. Big thumbs up here because we had some leftovers to go and they have a cool plastic wrap machine that really secures everything. They also gave me some extra kimchi! This place definitely has the best soondae in Colorado!

    Very interesting soup spot. Literal perfection on a cold day when you've wrapped up your shopping at either arash market or both. I had the oxtail which was very nourishing and my wife had the spicy beef brisket which had great flavor. Enjoyed the radish and kimchi banchans. Overall very satisfying meal. Will be more adventurous and try the soondae next time.

    Daechang
    Thien L.

    When I heard they had daechang which a large intestines I had to bring my family immediately! The other times I have come here I usually order the soups but the large intestines were a great dish to share amongst the four of us. The crispy outer layer and the juicy/fatty interior was perfect! It also came with a bunch of chives that were fried next to it which was perfect to cut through the fat. I can't wait to come back here and order this again! Also the aunties in the restaurant here always take such good care of their customers and show us how to eat everything.

    Grilled intestines. By the way the kimchi here is amazing!
    Edward B.

    I was really craving some soondae soup and Moobongri has the best soondae soup in this area hands down! I ended up also ordering a family size platter of grilled intestines and I am so glad I did! It was so delicious and worth every penny. The ajumma who took care of me was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it but I assured her it would not be a problem :) the employees here are so attentive and caring it's as if you're eating at a family member's house haha. The interior was very clean, organized and very nice! The noise level was not loud at all even with almost a full house. This restaurant is known for Korean soups so if you're ever craving any this is the place to go! They also have other dishes too that are very delicious so definitely come here and check it out. I highly recommend Moobongri!

    When they first opened I loveed their soondae guk as their broth was nice and rich. But then the next couple months it started tasting mehh alright. Decided to visit again this week and its back to tasting rich and delicious!!!! they also now have alot more dishes added to their menu. I loveeee their donkatsu. And this time the katsu was MASSIVE in size. Definitely will be back to try the bulgogi stew (they were sold out of bulgogi when I went :/ its my favoritee)

    Sullungtang (Ox Tail Soup with Brisket and Glass Noodles)
    Hun K.

    Was in town for business and wanted something comforting in the cold. Decided to try Moobongri Soondae. Ordered Sullungtang and it did not disappoint like many stated. creamy and satisfying. Large slices of Brisket. Would recommend. Service was attentive and perfect. FYI Chopsticks and Soups are in a side drawer on the table.

However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

Gotta love the starch!! Friends ordered grilled meats and I snuck a tiny bit to taste (since I can't handle their level of spiciness! ) they were delicious. The grilled meats and potato pancake go surprisingly well with the purple rice which might have ended up being my most favorite side dish! The grilled fish was ok. I've had better. But all the little appetizing dishes accustomed to Korean cuisine were fantastic! Will definitely come back!

We each got our own side dish with 4 side dishes. There was cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and a soy braised potato with fish cakes. I love a good hot stone bibimbap because of the crispy rice and this was CRISPY. I loved it. The side dishes were the perfect compliment to the dishes too. I will say my only complaint is the beef wasn't as flavorful as some other places but with how much food they're cranking out with only 2 people, they're doing a pretty great job. Despite all the people coming in and the people eating, the lady in the front was still happy and let people know there would be at least a 30 min wait to get seated. Overall, I would probably go here again if I was in the area and wanted a got stone bibimbap and didn't mind a wait but its definitely not a place to go if you're starving due to the potentially long waits.
