Great service, delicious food, and wide variety of banchan/sides. My favorite all you can eat kbbq in LA!

My brother and sister-in-law took me here for my birthday and I had the best time! They got me the Platinum tier so I was loving my wagyu brisket and all the good cuts of meat. You could help yourself to the salad bar and get more sides by yourself, glass noodles, fried stuff. But you also can order stuff from the tablet at your table. My brother-in-law is Korean so he was so polite and cooked for us the entire night. That is love. The wait staff was very attentive and I enjoyed my soju, my beer, and especially my wagyu brisket. Other places will give me the runs when it's ayce, TMI, this place... The meat is so good you will not get the runs. Highly recommend this place. The ambiance is nice. Good ventilation. The staff is very nice and the place is clean, the bathrooms did not stink. read more

One of the better kbbqs in la based on price and quality. They also validate parking. But theres a couple concerns My favorite meat was the short ribs, but you can only order 4? This is ayce. Theres also no deserts. The service wasnt friendly, he did constantly change our grill but never refilled the water or sides. It was also a little hot in their, recommended turning the ac up during summer time. On the bright side their meats are all good quality, they also have the wagyu brisket which they dont limit you on how much you can order. Decent appetizers as well. Will be back but hope they fix the things I mentioned. read more

Moohan Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We recently celebrated our son's birthday lunch at Moohan Korean BBQ and overall had a really great experience. We had a large party of 20+ people and Grace, along with our server (I forgot his name unfortunately), were both incredibly helpful, attentive, and accommodating throughout the entire time. Service was great, food was delicious as always, and they did their best to make sure everyone was taken care of. The ambience was also really nice, modern, lively, and spacious enough for family gatherings while still feeling comfortable and welcoming. It made the celebration feel special for our family and guests. We've been coming here since they first opened and have always had a good experience, which is why we chose to celebrate such a special occasion here. The only downside was the timing. Some of our guests traveled from farther away (we came from Santa Clarita), and because another reservation was placed close to our party's time slot, we felt rushed toward the end and had to rush our late-arriving guests to eat. Grace mentioned that if the restaurant had been fully informed about the size/details of our reservation ahead of time, they likely wouldn't have booked another large reservation around ours. I just wish the person handling the reservation emails had communicated things more clearly with the restaurant team, especially since the emails weren't signed with a name so we weren't sure who we were speaking with. That said, we still appreciate the staff for doing their best to accommodate our family and guests. Thank you again to Grace and the team for helping us celebrate our son's special day! read more

I wanted to update my review since its been awhile. Moohan still continues to be my favorite AYCE Kbbq spot in LA. They just have a large variety, great service, and affordable pricing. I came in recently with one other person for lunch. I love that they have a self service bar that includes hot items, cold items, banchan, and even meats. Fresher meats and other items are ordered though the kiosk. There wasn't any meat there we did not enjoy. Everything was really good. Besides the meats, my favorite items also include their ramen, korean pancake, and the lunch box. Besides foods they also have drinks such as cocktails. The staff came quick with whatever items we ordered. We were never left without meats. I also like that their grill doesn't burn is quickly as other places and they replace it without asking if needed. The inside is large and is great for small or large group. They do have a 90 minute limit which I found to be more than enough time. There is validated parking for $3 for 2 hours in the lot. Can't wait to come back. read more

We got reservations ahead of time as the wait could be long. Happy hour drinks before 6p on weekends. Validated Parking is available for $3 for 6 hours in the equitable lot and free for 3 hrs in the City Center on 6th lot. No validation in the hmart lot. Clean bathrooms! You can do premium or regular kbbq. For regular you can get your meats and other dishes from the "buffet" area but for the premium selection you can order more on the tablet tableside. There can be limits for certain premium items. The team is fast and came to change the grill several times and quickly cleared our empty dishes. read more

Finally got around to trying this place and it delivers on everything I want in an AYCE kbbq spot. From a great selection of meats, to a food bar that lets you grab your own wraps, sauce refills, side dishes, more meat, etc. I love when places have this bar feature along with their menu. The meat was also pretty good quality given it is an AYCE place. Prices were also not too bad! Lastly, they have validated parking, a huge bonus since Ktown usually has bad parking. Overall really impressed with Moohan and it definitely is one of my go-to's now if I'm looking for AYCE kbbq! read more

Moohan Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great friendly staff. Quick service and tasty food. Came here for the hubby's 50th birthday with his family. Ordered the premium set and took advantage of Amex's Resyb credit. Some of the cuts were outstanding, others were OK. Like the amount of buffet items and the ones brought from the kitchen. The takoyaki and friend chicken wings were yummy. The rice from the buffet was not my favorite, nor were the cold noodles or crispy spicy tuna. The ordering process is a bit clumsy from the iPad with an awkward interface. The text was so tiny it was difficult to read The space is minimal and modern. Dark wood and some metal and concrete accents. The speakers were a bit on the loud side as well. read more

My first time trying and got the classic. You choose your broth, 3 meats and sides. We got the Prime, Short Rib and Toro. We had ordered some shrimp for the side.But we didn't receive it. Not sure if it went to another table or if they just forgot. All in all, it was pretty good.Especially for the price of seventy five dollars. read more

It's been a minute since I've last had a classic KBBQ experience, so when I learned about Moohan, I had set my sights on it. We came during their weekend happy hour (Sat to Sun, 2pm to 6pm) and were seated within 5 minutes. The restaurant is large and expansive, with plenty of spacious seating and includes a large hot food bar to accompany your grill. We went with the premium AYCE which featured wagyu meat selections, seafood and everything from the other menus. My favorites from our order had to be the wagyu beef belly, prime beef tongue and pork jowl. If you're unsure of what to order first, the premium platter is an excellent option to start with. The meat quality is stellar and each order comes perfectly portioned. The sides that also came with the premium menu were also delicious, particularly the spicy tuna crispy rice. Additionally, the hot food station offers classic Korean favorites like kimchi fried rice, Tteokbokki, and more. Don't fill up too quickly so you have enough room for to enjoy the actual BBQ! Service was attentive with our waiter coming by frequently to attend to us and assist with grill changes. I appreciate how he helped us swap out to a completely different grill to enhance the LA galbi we had ordered, which was a nice surprise. It's small touches like that that ensure I'll definitely return the next time I'm craving KBBQ in K-town! read more

Moohan Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a great time! The only hiccup was although we had a reservation for 7:30pm, our party wasn't seated until almost an hour later. Granted we had a large party, but were not expecting such a long wait. However the staff were really apologetic and service was fast and efficient when we sat down. We opted for the premium AYCE menu which comes with more prime meats. The dining time limit is 100 minutes and all guests at the same table have to choose the same tier (premium vs essential). Everything we had was so delicious and I can confidently say this is one of the best AYCE kbbq spots I've had in LA! They have an AYCE buffet with a ton of side dishes but make sure save enough room for all the meat! The ambiance is great although the music was on the louder side. Parking: park in the Equitable Plaza public parking structure, and remember your license plate number - they validate for 6 hours! read more

My friends and I had dinner at Moohan on a Friday night and we really enjoyed our experience! We went with the premium option and were happy with the quality of the meat. The service was also great! Our waitress was on top of it, removing unused plates as soon as they were empty and offering us refills on our side dishes and drinks. We made reservations, which I highly recommend! Overall, it's one of the better AYCE KBBQ spots in the area! read more

Yeah, this place rocks. DO NOT PARK IN THE HMART LOT OR YOU WON'T GET PARKING VALIDATION. Put "Equitable Plaza" into Google Maps. Highly recommend to also make a reservation, this place was poppin on a weekday evening! Personally love that you order via a tablet so no waiving servers down. We opted for the premium menu and thought it was a decent price for the higher quality meats you get. In addition to the meat choices, they also have a buffet filled with a lot of snacks. You will not walk out feeling hungry whatsoever. read more

This 'All You Can Eat' Korean BBQ is a unique throw-back to the pre-covid age - because it is a BUFFET - including the meat. Long before Covid, many of LA's AYCE K-BBQ places began to have a Banchan Buffet counter, offering bottomless salads, kimchee, & a dozens other types. My daughter and I loved this endless supply of Fried Fishcake, Sweet Omelet, Cubed Daikon Kimchee, and Dried Anchovies coated in sticky-sugar, plus more. I fact we often decided which restaurant we wanted to go to based on how many items were being offered on the Banchan-Bar. The banchan bars were so successful that soon even more counters were installed, offering even more types of items like Maki Rolls, Soup, Tempura, Kim Bop, Purple Rice, and even more specialty Banchan, including Raw Blue Crab kimchee style, Soy Sauce Egg, Marinated Gourd, and Desserts. And then they eventually added a 'Meat-Bar', where the raw meat meat for cooking at your table is selected. And these AYCE Korean BBQ Buffets with Meat-Bars started taking over the AYCE scene in LA. This trend happened until late 2019. I remember back then (in the early two thousands until nearly 2020), when places like this were beginning to become popular in many North American cities with big Korean neighborhoods, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, and Seattle. Then everyone began to Panic, as Covid-19 took control over the entire food world. Within a matter of months, most of these excellent places had closed down. And they've stayed Closed since then. But they are slowly coming back to life. And I hope it stays that way. Because Moohan Korean BBQ is one of the best, offering an amazing meal for a reasonable price, in an atmosphere that is more akin to a high-end Korean restaurant than a worn-down buffet. NOTE: Moohan Korean BBQ is open until 2AM every night except for Sunday (when it's only open until Midnight). Also, lunch is only offered on Saturday and Sunday. All other days of the week Moohan Korean BBQ opens at 5PM. read more

We ended up at MOOHAN for a birthday dinner, and it felt like the right kind of place for it - lively, energetic, and centered around the table. We completely forgot to make reservations, and the place was packed - after all, it was a Friday night. They originally told us the wait would be over an hour and a half, but the hostess was really nice and somehow we ended up getting seated in under 30 minutes, which definitely saved the night. The meats felt premium, and what really stood out to me was the energy of the place. It had a lively buzz without feeling over the top, which worked well for a birthday dinner. The self-serve bar was a nice addition too. Plenty of variety beyond just the meat - from banchan and hot food to little extras that make it easy to pace yourself between rounds. There's a lot of good food there, but I try not to fill up on baked potatoes and bacon before the meat starts coming out. :) The atmosphere leans more modern and energetic than traditional. It definitely gets busy and loud, but that's part of the experience here. It's not the cheapest Korean BBQ spot in Koreatown, but the quality and overall setup help justify it. read more

This place is great for the variety in its buffet sides, meat is self serve, and validated parking! I got the cheapest menu which had an option to get meat from the iPad. I would recommend staying away from it unless you like leaner cuts. read more

I can imagine this place gets super busy/ packed during the weekends and reservations are/ might be necessary. Even on a Sunday visit it was a bit busy. Needless to say they have plenty of seating . The all you can eat for a set price and the time limit is the best thing about this restaurant.... This means they have a quick turn around of people leaving and not overstaying causing huge wait times . Love how everything is self services with option to have delivered to your table . The music wasn't too loud. I felt like I was dinning at a a restaurant with a club next door . I liked the vents over the food to capture the smoky and smell of the bbq. I really enjoyed the sides pre sit down .... Counted there were at least 5 traditional sides to the Korean meal... a must ! Also loved the fact that our grill got changed out mid way for a new one allowing us to grill our meet to perfection. The salad bar and choice of meats are abundant. The only thing I did not see at the salad bar were fish options . Not sure if they have any sea food options . There is a private dinning room which I think I'll be taking advance of next time around when I have a bigger party. Loved the happy hour drink options , very reasonably priced. They have a full bar as well and they house a lot of draft beers and beer options . read more

Ambience here is definitely 5 stars. When you come it definitely is a fun place to hang with friends. The ready made buffet has a great selection. We got the basic meal and the marinated bulgogi and Kalbi was the best. Is it the best Korean BBQ I've had? No, but it's solid. read more

Probably the best ayce in ktown for Korean bbq. Some meats are misses (NY ribeye, beef tongue) but some hit the mark (marinated galbi, brisket, strip steak) Won't break the bank either and you get a whole banchan buffet which is great. read more

Excellent selection for the standard menu. Loved their hot buffet, which includes items like tempura, sushi, japchae, etc.. Meats are decent quality. Loved their side dish selection as well! Fast service for tablet ordered items. Get the lemonade and happy hour beers! Reservations recommended. They validate parking at select lots, make sure to park in the Metropolis lot in the building to be certain. We came at like 4pm, and it was not so busy, but I can imagine the buffet area can get crowded during busy meal times. read more

Quick parking note first because it helps. Park at Equitable Plaza Public Parking on South Mariposa Avenue. Easy to find and they validate after you eat, so getting to Moohan KBBQ is simple. We had about a 15 to 20 minute wait for a table, which felt fair for how busy it was. We started with the crispy spicy tuna, beef tartare hand roll, spicy tuna hand roll, and beef tartare. The beef tartare hand roll was the clear favorite. Super savory and delicious. We ordered a few more because it was that good. The spicy tuna hand roll was solid and satisfying, not a standout but it hit the spot. The beef tartare had good flavor but was a little frozen in the middle. Probably would have been perfect if I let it sit for a bit before digging in. For KBBQ we ordered the KBBQ premium platter with a variety of meats like brisket, plus the prime seasoned short ribs and lemon herb scallop. The short ribs were amazing. We ordered about four rounds. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. The lemon herb scallop was a surprise hit. Very well seasoned, buttery, and quick to cook. Service was friendly and attentive. Easy to flag staff down and they also checked on us regularly. Drinks came out quickly. The music was good and the overall vibe was lively and enjoyable. Great food, easy parking, and solid service. Definitely coming back. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Moohan KBBQ, I love their setup. Most of the popular meats, hot items, and salad bar are self-serve, which makes it super efficient and keeps things moving. The remaining items and sides can be ordered directly on the tablet, and someone from the kitchen brings them right out. Service was great. Our waiter was very attentive, consistently clearing our table, changing out our grill at least three times, and refilling our drinks without us having to ask. Parking is available inside the Equitable Building (630 S Mariposa Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90020). With validation, parking is free, just make sure you remember/take a photo of your car's license plate number and bring it to the front desk. Overall, a smooth, well-organized KBBQ experience w/ solid service and a wide variety meat selection. Tip: If you have an Amex Gold or Platinum card, make your reservation via the Resy app, Moohan KBBQ is a participating restaurant and offers a $50 credit toward your bill -this perk is what originally brought us to try Moohan KBBQ :) read more

Yesterday, I went to Moohan Korean BBQ with my 15 group members.. It's an AYCE spot, and the quality of the meat was very good. All of the side dishes were delicious as well. The servers were friendly and attentive. They refilled our water right away, and whenever we asked for anything, they brought it out very quickly. I really like meat, salad, and tteokbossam (ricepaper) together, and Moohan has the tteokbossam that I like, which made the experience even better for me. cf 1) Parking is available inside the Equitable Building. With validation, parking is free-- just make sure to remember your car's license plate number. cf 2) The restroom was also interesting. When you wash your hands at the sink, the same unit right next to it blows air to dry your hands with a built-in fan, which I found pretty cool and convenient. I think it would have been even better if there were paper towels available as well. read more

We all got the essential and thought the quality was great. We will definitely be back! Cocktails were okay. That's our only negative, but for LA they are cheap :) read more

If you're looking for AYCE KBBQ in K-Town, this is your spot. This place is absolutely delicious, with brisket, marinated short-rib, galbi - it has everything. In addition to the menu you order on the kiosk screen, you can also get-it-yourself from the marinated and frozen meat section if you're impatient and want to jump right in. Usually I don't focus on service since it's not worth highlighting, however, Moohan does differentiate itself with top-tier service. With extremely attentive staff, the meat will be cooked well - also don't worry about parking, they'll validate after your meal. The environment is great, bustling with activity while also maintaining a clean interior, this is a great date night spot or if you're looking for a fun meal with a group of friends. When in LA, this is a must-hit-up spot if you're looking for an amazing KBBQ experience. read more

Ambiance: the restaurant has very spacious dining hall, good for large group hangout, and they validate parking for two garages on Mariposa Ave, with validation it costs $2 up to 6 hours in the Equitable parking garage, and 3 hrs for free in the City Center parking garage. However, the sanitary condition is very concerning here, I saw quite a mount of flies inside the restaurant, and landed on the open food trays Service: friendly but slow, it took a white to get seated and served with food after placing the order, although servers changed the grills frequently during Food: very limited options you can order from their menu, most food items are in the ayce bar area, salad and Banchan, premade fried items, marinated meat, and frozen meet etc. Pork Belly - ** frozen Comb-Cut Pork Belly - **** thick cut, tender and crispy afterwards, recommend Prime Beef Brisket - *** sour taste Wagyu Beef Belly - *** frozen Marinated Beef Galbi - * poor quality Spicy Tofu Soup - *** average Kimchi Pancake - ** soggy and oily Steam Egg - *** average Seaweed Salad - **** recommend Beef Japchae - ** flavorless Takoyaki - ** mushy texture Fried Vegetables - ** soggy Chicken Wings - ** not crispy Price: overall poor quality and not worth $50+ per person, I wouldn't recommend this place, there are much better quality options in ktown for similar or even lower prices read more

Most Korean bbq's will help you with cooking here and there but this place will make sure you're doing it right. So if it's your first time don't be shy just ask for help! Moohan's on the expensive side but you'll see from your first bite that the quality is definitely worth the money. Brought family over and they were immediately skeptical about the price. Nonetheless we ordered premium and just the brisket had us in awe. Hard to have cheaper Korean bbq's after meat this good! All premium meats are heavily marbled and you'll want a long nap after for sure. I also love that their fried rice contains pieces of meat. If you ask me I think it's a smart way of using all their meat. The self serve bar is beautiful and well organized. The decor feels very exclusive and the dining area is well equipped with proper ventilation. The only item I didn't find to be all that great were the scallops, the seasoning is very salty. Other than that Moohan is an S tier kbbq and I'm sad I can't have this weekly! read more

Came here around a month ago, and had to call ahead to make a reservation as I came with a group of 10. When we got there, it took them a while to get the room ready, but when we got seated we got a nice private room to ourselves. Ordering was insanely easy to do on the tablet, and other meats we could just get up and grab from the buffet. The meats were a good quality, and special dishes (like the pork bun) were insanely good, though took a little longer to come out. We also ordered 2 beer towers, and staff came in to help us get it settled nicely on the tables. Overall a fun experience, great place to go with friends, combos were reasonably priced, would come back again! read more
