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. 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

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. read more

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 read more

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 ! read more

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 ! read more

Moodaepo Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Loved this place. We eat KBBQ a few times a month. Decided to try this place out and am glad we did! Enjoyed the flavors, the service and the cuts of meat. Found the cuts to be very nice with lots of flavor and tenderness. The side dishes are small, but we had no problem getting refills quickly. The kimichi is top-notch. We will be returning. The atmosphere was also fun and enjoyable. Side note: IF you are unfamiliar with KBB before going to this place, do yourself a big favor and watch a couple of videos before going. Several of the bad reviews I see are simply from people unsure of how things work in these settings. I love to figure out new experiences, but not everyone does. read more

They refused to service me because I was by myself and if I wanted to eat by myself I would be up charged this place is a scam!!

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

An experience that is unique to KBBQ - the restaurant is basically like an open food stall you would find in Korea with tables filled with people. We arrived and had a short waiting time before we were seated. The wait staff was quick and always attentive even with so many people. You can't really mess up Kbbq with the right cuts of meat which were delicious and a side of soju. Definitely a restaurant to try at least once read more

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. read more

Went here for the hype but was sorely disappointed. Yes, it's a very buzzy place and it's very cool and loud with a long list of meats to enjoy. I thought the ramen bar would be cooler but it didn't live up to the hype for me. Dessert was also not included with the AYCE price. read more

This was a great experience. My family and I love Korean barbecue but this was the first time we had waiters come to the table and take our order and then robots brought our food to the table and we had to take it off the trays of the robot. Food was excellent! We had sort of a funny incident. We were sitting at the back of the restaurant near where the waiters get water and two of the robots where coming towards each other and could have easily passed each other but my grandson was standing at the end of the table. The two robots stopped about 8 feet from each other whirled around with their eyes swirling one backed up but my grandson was sort of stunned so pressed himself against the table. The robot that backed up decided to go forward and turn into the aisle between our table and an other table, then the other robot when on it's way past my grandson. Then the other robot backed up and continued on it's original route. It was quite humorous. Poor little guys were so confused. As we were leaving my grand kids decided to stop at the counter before leaving and buy candy. I was sitting by the door and this very nice Korean man was moving boxes and refilling bins. I asked him how to you say the name of your restaurant and he said Moo Day Poo. He said know what it means? Stubborn! That's me, that's my nick name. The food was great and the whole experience was just wonderful. read more

Moodaepo Korean BBQ - The Korean grill - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

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

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

I've been here many times since it's opened and usually love it but unfortunately this year I have seen the decline. Understaffed.. menus tweaking for the bad (they have ridiculous tiers of ayce choices now).. meats are hit or miss.. quality of their sides are mediocre.. my last experience involved an older woman, she seemed like a manager or some sort. Man she was just rude.. I was at the ramen station and she was basically forcing me how to make my OWN ramen. And then later, she brings out 8 kimchi soups when I only ordered 5. She got upset and claims we ordered 8 but why would we when our table was 6 adults.. sorry moodaepo, you guys aren't it. 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.

Food is just okay. Their short ribs had the worst meat and we did not eat it. There was more fat than meat. The owner got upset when we left the food and told us they were going to charge us. How do you expect people to eat all fat on short ribs? Floor in the restaurant are covered with grease and are potential for a slip hazard. Overall I will not be back. Poor management and poor quality of food read more

A lot of my friends come here so I thought to give it a try. I have never been so disappointed with KBBQ. The last time I was this disappointed was at breakers and that place no longer exists in Dallas. We paid $40 for the AYCE and the only meat we liked was kalbi and even that was mid. There was not a single meat that we truly liked. The quality of the meat was just so poor. Maybe today was their off day but it made me and my husband quite sad because we took our family from of town here. All of our banchan came out super late. We asked for our steamed egg at least 3x. I noticed in other reviews there were more banchan than what we received. I don't know but our experience was not the experience we expected it to be. We do appreciate their late night accommodation and the service was okay. The vibes all around was fine. I would just rather pay $40 towards a good a La carte KBBQ joint than this place. read more

I came here after seeing it all over TikTok, and this was, without question, one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. I genuinely do not understand how this place is still in business. From the moment we sat down, everything felt off. For a sit-down restaurant, being told to get our own water and pour it ourselves was already a terrible first impression. It immediately made the entire place feel disorganized and low quality. The service was beyond awful. Despite there being fewer than 10 people in the entire restaurant, the staff repeatedly ignored us and acted as if helping customers was an inconvenience. One older staff member kept staring at us the entire time and giving us dirty looks, which made the atmosphere incredibly uncomfortable and hostile. The food quality was honestly alarming. The meat was extremely slimy, loaded with fat, and had a bad smell to it. It did not look or smell fresh whatsoever. The seafood was even worse -- it reeked the moment it came to the table and smelled like it had been sitting out far too long. At that point, it was already hard to trust anything being served. To make matters worse, the waiter had the fire turned so low that the grill was barely hot enough to cook anything. Even after letting it sit and heat up for a long time while we cooked our ramen, the meat still did not even sizzle when placed on the pan. It took forever to cook and ended up wasting a huge portion of our time limit, which honestly felt intentional and incredibly frustrating. The sanitation issues were absolutely unacceptable. At one point, a waitress tried to clear a plate that still had raw meat and juices on it and spilled the raw juices all over our table. It was disgusting, unsanitary, and I was left to clean it up myself. No apology, no cleaning, no concern. As if that wasn't bad enough, the rice I ordered came out with a hair sitting directly on top. When I brought it to their attention, they simply asked if I wanted another one with no apology at all. By that point, I had completely lost trust in their food handling and cleanliness. Another disturbing moment was seeing someone handling raw meat and then immediately coming over to changes our cooking pan. It looked extremely unsanitary and only added to the feeling that basic cleanliness standards were not being followed. And after all of that, they still had the audacity to charge extra for ice cream. Between the horrible service, rude staff, questionable food freshness, sanitation issues, and wasted time because the grill was barely on, this place was a complete disaster from start to finish. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I honestly regret spending money here. read more

Perfectly seasoned and charred to perfection. Best BBQ I've had in a long time! Amazing atmosphere and even better food. A must-visit for any BBQ lover! I loved the interactive grilling experience.

My friend saw this place on TikTok and we were so excited to try a new place until I read the reviews. There are more recent bad reviews than good reviews and that says a lot. I read the review about the horrible service, the food being disgustingly slimy and smelly and they weren't lying. When we first walked in, no one greets you and there's no sign anywhere telling you what to do. It's true that people just walk past you and don't acknowledge you... We stood at the door for a good 3 minutes, one of us had to go up to a worker and ask to be seated. I don't remember what we ordered but all the meat we ordered smelled sooooo bad and was just fat. There was more fat than meat on all the cuts, it was so sad to see my friends spend $40 on fat. I def don't recommend this place to anyone, save your money and go to Woomeeok instead. read more

Alrighty! They have redeemed themselves! I was a little worried cause it was a Saturday night but it's like night and day since the last time we came. This time we were seated in the main dining area. Service was great. There's a call button if needed now. We got our food in a very timely manner. The galbi was my favorite. The sauces were normal this time. Salt and oil, etc. They changed the grill several times and cleaned up the excess plates. The robot worked this time to deliver some of our meats although I notice the workers frustration when the robot is in their way lol. We can safely keep this on the list of places. Ambiance is casual and relaxed. read more

Lots of selection and customer service can vary, for example, not that great today. Although it wasn't that busy, service was a bit slow all round until the new set of servers/bussers showed up then it was a bit better. The food is pretty good, HOWEVER, there is one reason I can't see myself going back. It's so dang expensive. $40 per person for dinner and $20 for kids 5 to 9. That's a bit insane. If the price was $10 for kids and maybe $33-35 for adults, it'd be better. Other than that, definitely a fancy and cool looking place that I'd recommend visiting at least once. read more

Hands down to the food and service at this place. They had great customer service. They kept checking on us if we needed anything and while doing so they had a sincere smile. The place is kid friendly with a mini claw machine in the front. The place is well ventilated. After dinner my clothes didn't smell like Korean bbq. Definitely a must stop to get some Korean bbq if you're in town. read more

Moving to Dallas, I was nervous about finding a new KBBQ spot. Moodaepo has become a trusty KBbQ spot for my girlfriend and I. They have the best steamed egg that comes with cheese, corn, and brisket ! Service is always good considering that they're always packed on the weekends. One day I will build the courage to try out the noodle bar. 10/10 would binge again. read more

I feel the service should be better--especially if it's your first time visiting! The waiter needs to be more courteous; he doesn't greet you or explain the process until you specifically ask--even when it's obvious you look lost! The meat had a strange smell--I'd say it was on the verge of going bad! The only delicious thing there is the carrot-flavored ice cream! Do I recommend it? No, not at all! read more

Went back today for the first time in a long time expecting fresh banchan and high quality meat but left severely disappointed. Upon sitting down we were reminded about 10 times that any left overs would be charged for. Although it is nice to know this the constant reminders were a bit much. Furthermore upon paying we noticed that a 20% tip was added to our party of 5. We did not know about this until AFTER we paid and were leaving a tip. I asked a nearby waitress at how many people they automatically apply a tip (because often it is 6 or more and there was nothing on the menu that said this) and instead of answering me she asked to see my receipt which she then took out of my hands and then said 5. All in all terrible experience today, will not be going back. read more

Would not recommend. Food has gone downhill service has always been bad. They added a tip for themselves even tho we only had a party of 5.
