This is one of our family's favorite kbbq spots! If it's a busy night, you check in thru yelp and place yourself in line. You must ask for banchan now, they don't just lay it out all on you. We've been going since they opened, and I'm impressed that service is still great after all these years! I do feel like their banchan and quality has gone downhill a bit though. They do a lot of parties and such so it can get rowdy at times!
We came here for lunch after a recommendation from a fellow co-worker. It is ticked away in a little strip mall. We were the first to arrive at 11:00 am and were seated right away. We had the lunch special and ordered Spicy Brisket, Short Ribs, Spicy Teriyaki Chicken, and Cajun Shrimp. The meats were average and the Ribs did have quite a bit of fat on them. My friend had never been to Korean BBQ. It was a great experience for his first time but I have been to better Korean BBQ places. They also have Ramen Station where you can cook your own noodles. The ambiance was not too noisy but I see how this place can get busy at dinner. Apparently, they have had some mad reviews after this place was posted on Tik Tok. I think this is a fun to visit but I don't think I will rush back anytime soon.
There was a lot of hype around this place so I had to come try it out. It ended up being a let down. My friend had called about 4 days before to make a reservation for 14 of us, as it is a big group and of course be courteous. We get to the restaurant and there is no host to be seen and the staff are running around keeping up with how busy it is and turning a blind eye to those coming in. There's only an iPad that allows you to join the Yelp waitlist. We see how busy it is and there is obviously no tables "reserved" for 14 at 7pm on a Monday night. We were able to flag down a server and he said that there were no reservations for 14 made despite my friend calling twice to confirm. We instead had to join the hour long waitlist despite making a reservation days before. We stopped by hmart to waste some time and long last, we finally sat down at 8:30. We ordered with an older lady server and she seemed to be rushing us through. We requested white rice multiple times throughout our meal to which she mistook as kimchi fried rice which came out before our white rice. Our meats came out on a robot and were very good quality. Banchan, corn cheese, and fried chicken were skippable. The ambiance was startling with so much going on. It gave moreso a pocha/pub feel with the tvs and loud output. Maybe it was because of the size of the group that we didnt have the best time but regardless, our dining experience should be way better than what we got.
Had a great dinner here, definitely was very busy when we went, so I understood the wait, but it wasn't even a long wait. Our food was delivered by robot and the staff were on top of changing the grills very regularly. We did have a little trouble getting attention to the staff for drink refills, but not a huge deal. This is a great place to go for KBBQ but you do have to cook for yourself. I know that is standard, but I still prefer to ones that have someone cook for you, but that is personal preference. Overall good experience
Layout/atmosphere is great and the servers are very attentive for the most part.. our grills became super burnt a few times before it got changed out though. More upsetting is that we got bamboozled 3 times during our meal lol! I wanted to come here because I saw on social media they had chimichurri (my fav) sauce but nope, not ready for the public yet apparently? Then I ordered a side of kimchi fried rice but it was just white rice with kimchi mixed in (still good) lol. Their ramen noodle options are very misleading.. there's a whole panel/display of a ton of diff types of ramen but literally only 4 to actually choose from; also, there was another display panel with 2 rows of non-meat toppings to add on but only 4 in the actual fridge lol. Yikes!
We had out of town guest who wanted to do Korean BBQ and we have never been here so decided to try it . There was a total of 6 of us which one was a vegetarian . First our waitress told us over 6 times that the Veggi person can't eat any of the sides or we would get charged $40 , she can't even taste it . Ok no problem we will pay for one or two dishes she wanted to try . She was extremely rude n not accommodating at all . Anytime we asked her anything she would give us a rude response and laugh . The quality of the food was ok. We will never go here or recommend this place !! Anyone want Korean bbq please go to GEN ! Always great service and great selections !!! And quality meats !
Tried MOODAEPO Korean BBQ in Carrollton for dinner with my daughter. We when with the $29.99 all you can eat option, they also have a $39.99 full Menu. The place was pretty packed but service was fast, and the food came out fresh every time. Lot of meat choice to grill plus ramen noodle included, which was a nice bonus . The ambiance was lively and casual, great for group or family dinners. Definitely worth checking out for a fun and filing meal !
the wait wasn't too bad considering it was a saturday night. service was quick and attentive. the prices are unbeatable!
Our daughter wanted to try a new place for dinner, and this place did not disappoint, the food was excellent the service was outstanding our server John was great and talked us thru everything, the decor was cute, I absolutely loved the little cat robot helper that was serving the tables.. we will definitely be back!
My daughter was in town and wanted to try this place. She doesn't live in the DFW area but one of her friends told her to try this place. So we gave it a try. Walking in there really wasn't much direction given so we kind of just stood there until someone noticed how lost we looked I guess. The place was slightly dark but there was enough light to see. One of the staff members walked us to a table and said he would be back with waters. The place wasn't super packed but it looked like the staff ran it well. It seems everyone had a role to play. The waters came quick along and someone came to turn on the grilling area. We perused the menu and was truly lost so we asked for help and a kind employee explained how the all you can eat works. Once we got that figured out we began to order items and before we knew it, we had a million small plates show up. OMG the table was so full and we sat there looking at one another like what now?! Lol. Finally we figured out to start cooking and enjoying so we did just that. The proteins were all seasoned pretty good but the sides I was so unfamiliar with but did try some of the various items brought out. I really wasn't a fan of the sides. So I stuck to the cooked protein and white rice. Can't go wrong with that. The experience went pretty quick and we opted not to order another round of proteins considering you have to finish it all or be charged a fee for the leftovers.
Great place for parties and large groups. Lots of options for meat and korean banchan. Very attentive staff! They even jave a ramyeon station you can customize it how you like. Will for sure come back with friends!
If I had known, I wouldn't have gone. I came to this place because of an IG restaurant influencer I follow, who was probably paid to promote. It did not play out how I expected. Being a first-time 'guest', I walked in confused. The entrance feels like a back door entry with products stacked along the walkway, a dimly lit bar with no bartender, and no host to greet or guide you. Employees rushed by us with no acknowledgment that we were there. There was only one tiny iPad at the end of the walkway to sign into the waiting list, even though we had 'reserved' our time ahead. We awkwardly stood amongst the chaos & inventory hoping that someone would give us direction or call our name. A robot brings you your meat. We learned that we have to cook our own meats on a dimly lit grill in the center of the table. We hoped that we cooked the meat long enough to avoid salmonella. The fans aren't strong enough on the vent hood to suck up all the smoke, so one side of the table was overwhelmed with smoke. Our clothes smelled like a grease fire. The next part brought me back to my youth when my parents forced me to finish my dinner plate...There was a sign on the table that said we would be charged extra if we had any uncooked meat or leftover food. We had to cook every piece of raw meat, then we disguised our uneaten food underneath other items to avoid being punished for not eating/cooking our meats. You cook your own ramen as well, which is in individual packages, just like at home. There is a ramen bar where you pick the package, grab your pot, and then dispense hot water. We were surrounded by TVs. The K-pop & Korean media is all fine & good, but it was a bit overwhelming to have 15 different shows & screens surrounding you. While the meat selection & taste was good, the $30-$40 per person price was not worth all the hassle. Your dinner ticket will suggest leaving a tip of 18%-25%. Our server was nice, but the service was barely service. We did 70% of the work. I should've read reviews before assuming my IG influencer was trustworthy. Lesson learned.
Our visit to MoodaePo in Carrollton was great. As soon as we walked in, we were seated pretty quickly. The prices are honestly unbeatable--$19 for all you can eat is amazing. They offer so many sides and appetizers, plus you get complimentary access to an all-you-can-eat ramen bar, which was a nice surprise. The meat was really delicious, and the grill cooked everything super fast. All the food we ordered came out quickly, and some of it was even delivered by a robot, which was such a cool touch. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The vibe was very cool and lively, it honestly gave me major Korea vibes. Definitely a fun spot to eat good food and hang out. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a great Korean BBQ experience.

Decent kbbq, huge place that easily fits large groups. Kind of club vibes inside. Meat was a little dry. But fun for a large group! read more
i would like to first start with the service. they are extremely understaffed, making it harder for the server to check up on tables. even when we press the button we have to wait several minutes before someone comes. the music is also very loud and our server spoke very low. continuing with music, they played a lot of well known songs, perfect for people who enjoy listening to upset music. the food wasn't anything special. the kimchi "fried" rice was extremely disappointing because it was just steamed rice with very little kimchi on top. the quality of the meat and the seasoning was good, but it was not something that i would crave. the noodle station is complimentary. they have all types of noodles like shin ramen, jin ramen, 2x buldak, and a couple more. they have automatic boiling water that is dispensed to make cook time faster, with a timer attached according to the noodles you're making. however, this space can be cramped and messy very fast, with one trash can and i believe six stations right next to each other. read more
We tried this Korean barbecue place on Saturday evening. We made a reservation a week in advance for 7:00 PM, but when we arrived at 6:45, there was already a line ahead of us. It seemed like reservations didn't really matter, as walk-ins were seated before us. Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long--about 15 minutes--because they opened a second dining area. The restaurant was packed, and service was a bit inconsistent. Our first round of meat was delivered by a robot, but by the time we placed our second order, staff members brought it to our table because the robot was busy elsewhere. The meat itself was well-seasoned and delicious, but a few things left us wanting more. There were no side dishes provided initially--we had to request them. We also expected clam soup to come with our meal, but it never arrived, and no dessert was offered after we finished, though we were pretty full by then. We opted for the $29.99 BBQ option, which was decent, but considering other places offer Korean BBQ and hot pot for a similar price, I'm not sure it stood out. The ramen bar was limited to only Jin Ramen (spicy and non-spicy) with minimal toppings. Overall, the meat was flavorful, but the service and extras side dishes could use some improvement. The restaurant open late which is good. read more

Josh best server out there!! Food 10/10, service 10/10, atmosphere 10/10! Bring all of your friends read more
There was plenty of space inside so we didn't have to wait. We got beef brisket, beef belly, and beef tongue. The beef belly was our favorite. I also liked the short rib. The steamed egg was alright, but not super puffy. I wish I could pour soy sauce on it. The kpop chicken was very ok, I would not get that again. The grill was very hot, which made everything easy to cook. Service was slow because there aren't that many waiters. read more
A solid place for AYCE kbbq in the area! There are a few different tiers you can select when eating here, but our group opted for the highest ($39pp) one, as this is the one that has unlimited short rib/kalbi cuts This is tucked in a plaza farther away from the HMart/Ranch 99 madness (tealatte/mochinut/golden spoon plaza/aldi plaza) and has a LOT of parking available. Service was decent and the cuts of meat come out nice and quick. Soju was ~$14 a bottle and they had a ramen bar that we didn't try for $5 (?) a person Overall a solid, casual spot if you're in the mood for all you can eat korean bbq and are looking for great cuts of meat. This place can seat a LOT of people and was fairly empty when we went on a weekday evening. read more
Awesome service and great portions! Normally it takes about 8-9 rounds to fill me up. Not here, the portions were so big that i was done by round 4. We came a bit late but that didn't affect the quality or the service. I will definitely be coming back. Plus the location is so cute! There are games to play and other things to do before and after eating. read more

Love this place!! The minute I walked in I felt like I was back at one of my favorite kbbq spots in Seoul. The restaurant tables were set up in a way that matched the vibes there. The ramen station and the side dishes really brought me back to those days too. The waiters are great too, super friendly and attentive and do their best to meet customers' needs. Our waiters were Nathan and Daniel and they were awesome! read more

i really like this place I've came here two or three times and I've honestly never seen a bad thing from this place. the octopus was really good along with the buldak, and it has a ramen bar!! the servers were decently nice. this place is usually packed with a lot of people but since it was around an hour before closing time it wasn't really that full so it was easy to get a table. nice place, nice food, nice ambiance, everything was great!! read more
