It was my first time there. I came in with my two boys. They gave us a table and 2 min after, two caucasian gentlemen came in a they gave them the table next to us. You could tell the difference of service right away! They never ask us what we wanted to drink, the waitress seem rush every time she will ask us what meet we wanted. We ask for water several times and they never brought it. Meanwhile all the waitresses were so nice to the other two guys. Nothing against them, they were really nice. I wanted to say something but my boys didn't let me. Food was amazing I'm not going to lie. But service, they sucked!!! As much as we love the food we are never coming back. My money is as valuable as any other person's money. Just because me and my boys are Mexicans that doesn't mean we don't deserve the same service as any other Caucasian person. I never felt so discriminated before like tonight. read more

freaking love it. amazing food the bean paste pork belly flavor is insane bursting with flavor. The service is quick and easy lots of checkups and the ambience is so chill and upbeat. They play tons of kpop bops too heard my girls aespa the last time i went. read more

Everytime I come here I truly enjoy my experience. The staff is very friendly and on top of keeping your needs met. The food is good. It's also a very reasonable price and you have 2 all you can eat options. It is not a large establishment. Space is a tad tight. But being in a manual wheelchair I have been able to get through to my seating area when it is not too busy. The fact that when it is busy its very crowded is its only personal pitfall to me. But not every great spot requires a ton of space. I appreciate this place for what it is. Nice Korean bbq spot that doesn't break the bank in the process. I've also never had an empty drink or side I wanted here even when they are slammed busy. Lots of sides brought to the table upon seating. Kimchi, big salad, pciked goodies. Ordering is swift. Bbq portions are large. The brisket was my personal favorite. If your intent is to go with a large group I would highly suggest you coordinate that with the staff as there is a side room that would likely accomodate this. read more

Overall: Had a great first time experience! Would definitely go back and highly recommended! Food: Food was delicious. The marinated beef short ribs were specially good and had so much flavor. This place has a lot less meat options than most KBBQ I've been to but I don't think that's an issue at all. Service: The staff were super friendly and really attentive. Very different from some KBBQ places. It made my first visit at this place very pleasant and enjoyable! Ambience: It's the first time I've seen a round table at a KBBQ place, apparently they have these tables in Korea. Very interesting and a fun experience. The table is also much lower than regular tables. I enjoyed it because I almost had a birds eye view! read more

I can't count how many times I've driven past here on my way to work and thought I need to try them out. Recently stopped in to celebrate a friend's birthday and this place was super cute, the service was incredible and super friendly. I have been places where you bbq at the table like this and the servers rush you and are very cold towards you. Here they clearly are very attentive and super nice. The food was very tasty and we ate everything they had to offer. Would have kept going too but 5 out of the 7 of us tapped out so we wrapped it up for the night. Definitely will be back. read more

Moon BBQ - Option 1 for 30 dollars. - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Delicious small kbbq spot in Gardena- a favorite of most locals. High points are the service, quality of sides, and wide meat variety. The small seating space can be uncomfortable for larger patrons (im 6'5 and could barely fit under the grill table). This could be my imagination, but I believe the seating capacity was reduced during the Covid pandemic. Would highly recommend the bulgogi beef and fiery chicken- both are great quality meat cuts and are deliciously unique. This is coming from someone who normally doesn't bother with chicken at Korean barbecue due to the long cook time. It was definitely worthwhile here, it was my favorite meat from our dinner. read more

This review is long overdue. I started going to this kbbq spot since 2017. I wasn't into writing reviews which is what took me awhile to write this but it's about time a give credit to where credit is due. First of, it may not be a big spot but I love it. The service is great and the owner at the time(not sure if it's still the same person), was very welcoming and kind. I love how the grills were the old school ones. They've got steamed egg and our fav beef tongue, brisket, and the large intestine. Their macaroni salad is really good too. U def gotta try this place out. Only thing is they don't open till about 4 or 5pm. I forget already. If I'm ever in that area, it's definitely a no brainer. It would be my first choice everytime. It's because of you Moon that I found my new food obsession!! Kbbq!! read more

The rice paper was hard as rocks and the meat was okay. The best thing about the place was the service. I will not be going back, but I do have a little upscale taste so maybe this is why I'm judging so hard. read more

Food was fantastic and the service was phenomenal!!! Very authentic!! I would go back anytime!!!

Great BBQ experience. Boyfriend and I are the first ones in for the day on Sunday. The place got full right after with a steady flow. Opted for option A. The sirloin was yummy. Noodle soup was comforting. Banchan was tasty. The kimchee was sooo good. Pork belly and brisket were good. Everything was really delicious. The dipping sauce were aok. I was curious if they had the spicy kimchee tofu like soup because I love spicy broth with the bbq! I will find out next time. The service was really attentive and kind. 1 free beer per table upon check in. Parking was pretty good but I'm sure it gets packed. Would come back and probably will! read more

Slow service. Overpriced. Doesn't honor the coupon. Pressed the claim button but still got charged read more

Moon BBQ - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

On a busy Saturday evening, we called around to check on the wait times, while we were already driving in the area on western. If we had to wait, we were gonna get takeout instead. The owner picked up at this restaurant and said "no wait, but people keep coming." We were only two blocks away so we were super happy and drove in. Turns out there were 3 parties waiting, and completely packed seating. There was definitely an ongoing wait from before. The guy clearly lied just to get more business, thinking we were further away. Then it turned out the inside was all "reserved" - he told the non Korean family next to ours that they had to reserve it over the phone. Weird right? Why can't you ask for it when you get there? Sounded like he was reserving it for friends or something. I think the family thought he was being racist because I heard them say something like that. But I think he was just unprofessional to everyone, based on what happened to us (we were speaking Korean). So people kept coming and going right to tables inside and even outside. Not sure if they were reservations but they need to account for that when telling people there's no wait. After waiting about 45 min with a toddler sitting down and touching everything in the dangerous parking lot, we got takeout in an adjacent restaurant and left. We've been here before and the food really wasn't worth a wait, especially with a toddler. I wish they would have given us an honest answer when we called so that we could have made an appropriate decision for our family's situation. Don't tell little white lies to get more customers. Honesty is very important in the food industry. read more

I really enjoyed the food and it's the best kimchi I've had. Parking is a bit of a pain (it is La) and the outside isn't auspicious but the staff is very friendly, attentive and on it. The regular tables are quite cozy but we sat at the larger table for the 5 of us and it worked well. Definitely recommend it read more

I love Korean BBQ and as we were entering the place, it smelled tasty. However, we had to leave before we were seated. A few days before, I had made a reservation for a party of 8 over the phone. They assured me I would have my Saturday reservation at 7pm. When we went to check in for our reservation. They claimed they did not have a reservation for us. They gave us rude looks and while I was okay with waiting, they did not give us an estimated wait time. I like to put down reservations for places like this especially for a large party. I didn't appreciate being told that they never had a reservation or a phone call. My cousin ended up cancelling our names off the list because loosing our reservation and not even giving us a wait time was horrible service. When my cousin cancelled, the waiters gave him a nasty look. I wanted to give this place a chance, but I don't think I can give my business to people who are rude to customers. read more

Sorry, Moon BBQ was not it. We always pass by here since we live nearby but was apprehensive about trying it. The husband made a good point about not judging it until we actually tried it out but he ended up also regretting eating here. The sides are mediocre, meats were subpar and I was not a big fan of the grill and the seats. I understand that this setting is probably close to how it would be in Korea (don't quote me on this, I'm assuming) but I was just not feeling this place. Nothing feels worse than when you leave a restaurant disappointed and had to pay for it. read more

My go-to for local kbbq. It never disappoints. Meat quality is pretty good for the price. Our fave is the beef bulgogi and short rib. The service is always great. The only downside is the seating, the stools aren't that comfortable and most of the tables are pretty small. Insider tip: If you do the help check in you can get a free beer read more

Tasty. Yum. Nothing was amazingly standout but here's a quick rundown. Pandemic feelings of safety with outdoor dining, check. The good Rice paper wrap, steamed egg, diff types of meat from brisket to short rib (off the bone type) It's $29.99pp with a 2-hour dining limit. The staff is incredibly super duper nice, which stood out, as that's just not the norm for Asian eateries. We would return, if not for the really really awful parking situation..it's like you're parking in K-town but you're dining in the 'burbs where you kind of expect an easy parking experience. read more

Moon BBQ - Getting ready! - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Food tasted about the same as every KBBQ place, but more expensive. Service was okay, they change our grill without asking but when I ordered the soup, our waiter offered to put it into our bowls for us, however she didn't seem like she wanted to do it because she was aggressive passing the bowl back to me. Some soup spilled onto my hand, and it hurt since the soup just came out. I also checked in on Yelp for my 2 free drinks and they didn't honor it, they still charged me for 2 drinks, and when I asked for money back they denied me. All in all, probably won't come back, too expensive and service is not the best. read more

Moon BBQ - The food here is really good! It's on the expensive side of KBBQ, but if you have the money to spend, I would go here:) - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Moon BBQ has great service, and the meat cuts are good quality; however, lacks options, no veggies, or seafood. Very limited. The restaurant seating it's meant for two three max per table. Very small. It's uncomfortable, the round low table design, needs to be reimagined. I issuing four out of five because the staff was great, and it deserves to be noted, they were very attentive and helpful. read more

My husband and I decided to try a new KBBQ restaurant and Moon BBQ did not miss! We went in with our 6 month old daughter and at first I was very nervous because of the space. However, They made sure that we had a table where my daughter was comfortable and safe. In addition to making sure our food selection was brought to our table quick, about 4 servers & the manager kept making sure my daughter was well taken care of. That says a lot about the type of establishment this is! They fulfill their job with pride & love. We went on a Saturday & the ambience was super chill. Food was great!! Totally recommend. read more

Went here with some friends a couple weeks ago. I've tried other types of Korean BBQ and Japanese Teppenyaki restaurants before but this was a new experience. Great fun! We ordered the all you can eat option and, "thanks" to my friends, it was literally all you "can" eat for me, not just all I "wanted" to eat. Left stuffed but how can you say no to one more piece of steak? Also tried beef tongue for the first time. It was good, maybe because it was sliced thin and didn't look like a tongue! Waitress checked on us regularly, changing out the BBQ rack and bringing more meat. Sides (kimchi, etc.) were good too. Wouldn't recommend the chicken gizzards, a bit chewy, but that's just me. read more

The parking was good and everyone is so nice. I haven't eaten yet, but the place has a really nice setup!

The foods okay, service okay, almost feels like they try to rush you into getting more meat before you're even done with the one in front of you and rush you the bill (got a few racist vibes). The prices are ridiculously expensive too, I Spend $155 with two adults and two kids under the age of 8. Sorry to the waitress for not leaving 10% out of $155 it was too expensive for me but I still left ya $10. Somehow I still feel robbed. read more

Moon BBQ - Marinated beef (they don't have bulgogi), marinated short rib. - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Moon BBQ! Go for an unforgettable experience! I always order the Option B menu. Two of the menu items are, beef tenderloin, one piece per couple or marinated beef short rib are one piece per person. There's usually no wait every time I have been there but the restaurant is packed. 1. Beef Rib Finger I would recommend for you to order the beef rib finger because it is the best quality meat out of all the other meats I have tried on their menu! 2. Beef Tongue Beef tongue is always one of my favorites but not at Moon BBQ! It was cut into very small pieces and was not appetizing at all. I could only force myself to eat one piece. To me, meat quality is below mediocre and has been going down. For me, service has been good the first few visits but it does take that one bad service experience to even make you reconsider coming back. The service I experienced last night made me very uncomfortable as I tried to use the check-in offer which the waitress said she would give me. However, she proceeded to demand a 'five-star review' and asked me to write it now. I did not comply with her request and it did make my dining experience last night a rocky start. Then, she proceeded to ask me, 'do you want any rice' and 'do you want any drinks,' in which I said no to both and she proceeded to glare at me and had an extremely unhappy expression. I would have to say I would NOT recommend you to go Moon BBQ. Spare yourself and your company the trouble! read more

After coming back from my business trip, I was craving some Korean BBQ. I found Moon BBQ on Yelp and decided to go for dinner. My bf and I arrived around 5:30pm and were instantly seated in the back corner. I really liked the small, low tables and stools because it felt like a very authentic Korean BBQ joint. However, my bf commented that his butt started hurting after an hour because the stools were so hard to sit on. We ordered the $23.99 (option A), which pretty much came with all the usual beef cuts like beef tongue, beef brisket, beef belly, beef short rib, and chopped sirloin. The only item I didn't try on that list I just named was the beef belly because it was too fatty for me. Everything else tasted fine. I was really impressed with the marinaded beef short rib and chopped sirloin. It was so tender and flavorful. I also thought the dipping sauce, a jelly-like plum sauce, was very unique and refreshing. It acted as a palate cleanser but also added extra flavor to the meat. Moon BBQ was a good experience because food and service were pretty solid. The servers were proactive and would come back to see if we needed to order anything else quite often. I don't know why some people complain about the price because decent Korean AYCE BBQ is always $20-28 depending on the option selected. read more

Hubby and I dined here a few nights ago for AYCE and I was 100% satisfied with my meal and the service. We got there around 8p on a Friday night and the place was jam packed. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to be seated. We sat in the very back room and let me just say, it's "cozy" back there. The tables are very small with the grill taking up most of the table with the side dishes (kimchi, daikon, greens, potato salad, rice paper) taking up the rest. And, you sit on these tiny metal stools (hubby was not a fan) without any space under the table for your knees. The "coziness" of the place was well worth the food. You order two meat dishes at a time, and I'm pretty sure we tried a little of everything. My faves were the spicy pork belly, soy sauce chicken, marinated short rib, beef brisket and chopped beef sirloin. Quality meat, flavored well and just enough of each kind so you can try quite a few. Service was great, just as each meat would get close to being cooked, the server would come out, get your next order of meat and change out the grill and transfer the meat for you. As we ran out of the side dishes, they got us more and brought us out two side of rice too....all included with the AYCE and we went with the $23.99 pp option. The AYCE does not include a drink and they serve canned soda so we just opted for ice water. Overall, great experience, great good and a bookmark for my Yelp list. They're open until midnight too, so that's always a nice option if we have to put the kids to bed before leaving for dinner, gives us a lot of time to enjoy a meal! read more
