    Great food, a fun experience & excellent hospitality is what I received at MOON BBQ. All my expectations were met. Great Service, quality meats and great drinks. Free parking in front. Stop in and experience the experience! Cheers!

    This Korean bbq spot is small, has limited seating, and doesn't have much ventilation. Those are about the only 3 bad things I can say about it. 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!

    Food was good. The portions were a little smaller that some other places I've been to. Which is fine, I'm assuming they do this so no one wastes food. One lady server who didn't speak at all was the sweetest person ever. Loved her! She was so kind. The other one not so much.

    Their soybean stew is a perfect pairing to their pork belly.

    They have one of the highest quality meat, beef n stew. Not to mention highly attentive service, never once did at have to request out grill to be changed. They are on top of their game! Indoor is an old school golf in the wall in an alley type setup but it's still comfortable for a small party. Depending on hour busy they are they have a separate section for larger groups but might be taken up depending on good buddy they are

    Extremely friendly staff with quick efficient service. Yummy meats. They hit the spot when you're craving AYCE KKBBQ. Dark and moody, very loud.

    Moon BBQ in Gardena is such a nice, cozy AYCE Korean BBQ spot! We booked here because they actually take reservations for groups over 5 people -- most Korean BBQ places only accept reservations for 10+, so this was a huge plus. The food was delicious and the servers were friendly and attentive. I especially loved their beef tongue and steamed egg, and the sirloin was really good too. Definitely worth the money! Parking in the mall can get a little tight at times, but there's always street parking nearby. Highly recommended!

    This place was referred to me by a friend and it was really good. I enjoyed my experience here. Food: I chose option A for $34.99 per person all you can eat on selected items, and I had the beef brisket, tenderloin, beef short ribs, blazing chicken, and a steamed egg. My favorite was definitely the beef short ribs as it was packed with flavor! Service: I came on a Monday night, slightly busy, but not crowded. I was seated immediately. The waiters were really nice and helpful, as it was only my 2nd time experiencing Korean bbq. Ambiance: the place is small and cute, located in a small shopping center with a parking lot. Tables are kind of close together, and seats weren't the most comfortable.

    The banchan is basic, and seating is very cozy on backless stools. But the variety and quality of meat are decent.

The inside is nice and spacious, a little dimly lit and clean. The worker was very friendly and service was quick. We asked for his recommendation and he suggested we try any of the yukgaejang. He brought out two sets of banchan - fish cakes which were firmer and more seasoned with sesame oil than some other place which was pleasant, a nice sweet fresh kimchi, and some chive kimchi, as well as the condiments for our dishes. To split, we got the small bossam, the rice cake and dumpling soup, the mul naengmyeon, and the yukgaejang with fresh pasta. Everything was super flavorful, large enough to split between the 5 of us, and delicious. The standouts are definitely the yukgaejang - the fresh pasta may sound weird but is a nice chewy thick noodle and the broth is rich and flavorful with just a bit of spice - and the bossam - at a lot of places the small bossam is still huge, and this was a good size so that we still had room for other dishes, and the meat itself was more flavorful, tender and nice and warm on the steamer that it came out on! The rice cake and dumpling soup and the mul naengmyeon were also solid. I'll definitely be back at Yuk Dae Jang for a warm comforting bowl of yukgaejang and bossam with friends :) Bonus, you don't have to go to ktown!

Instead of showing any understanding or hospitality, the owner told me to leave the restaurant and wait in the coffee shop next door. I was shocked because I had every intention of purchasing food. I wasn't causing a disturbance or asking for anything unreasonable. The way I was spoken to and treated made me feel embarrassed, unwelcome, and honestly as though I was being judged before I was even given a chance to order. I left feeling humiliated. Customer service is about treating people with basic kindness and respect, and unfortunately, that was completely missing during my visit. I won't be returning, and I hope the owner learns that a little compassion can make a huge difference in how customers are treated.

Her banchan are known for being: Never excessive Focused on the natural flavor of each ingredient Clean, balanced, and beautifully composed Served with a banchan cover that keeps everything protected and perfectly neat. Each dish feels like a quiet supporter that enhances the meat without ever overpowering it. Chadolbagi : The richness is unbeatable -- pure, clean beefy flavor. Samgyeopsal : A perfect match with aged kimchi. Truly a dream pairing. Nakji-bokkeum : Sweet, salty, and spicy all at once -- the kind of flavor that makes you reach for a spoonful of rice immediately. Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.
