    Variety of meat
    Eric W.

    The quality of the meats was good but not the best. The marinated galbi is flavorful without being overly sweet, and the pork belly is my favorite. Everything was fresh, and the side dishes were flavorful. The service was ok. Grill wasn't changed regularly. We had to ask to get it changed and that was also the time they cleared out empty plates. Majority of the meat were self serve on the open bar. Tables were kind a small and they were closed to each other. When we left, no thank you from the waitress. Maybe it was just her personality. Be aware the time limit is 100 minutes for AYCE. They charge $10 per person for every additional 30 minutes. They don't warn you if you reached the 100 minutes. So keep an eye of your time or you can ask the server how much time left.

    Honestly, the best standard tiered KBBQ! My family and I came here to celebrate Father's Day and it was super easy to get a reservation. Since we were a table larger than 7, we had to call in to make a reservation. Their website says that you have to email them but since it was during the week of, we decided to test our luck by calling in and it worked. We came 10 minutes before our dinner reservation and we were checked in and seated within 5 minutes. Since it was a Friday, they have a really good happy hour for alcohol! We also decided to do the basic tier which was $39.99 since it was our first time! It was honestly, one of the best standard tier KBBQ I've had. The standard tier had everything that satisified our craving, ranging from brisket, pork, galibi. Unfortunately, there isn't a seafood option within the standard tier so if you're the type of person that wants seafood with your meats, this won't satisfy your craving. On the tablet at your table, you're only allowed to order 3 meats but they have a buffet on the side where there are the other meat options and side dishes! I really enjoyed the buffet style on the side since you can refill your banchan and side dishes such as tteokbokki, fried tempura, mandu, and much more. The unfortunate thing about this place is that you're ACTUALLY on a time limit of 100 minutes. Majority of the other KBBQ establishments I've been to don't enforce it but this place definitely does. They have a rule of charging $10 per person per a certain time (website can clarify). Since we were a table of 9, we were split into two tables with two different grills and after the 100 minutes, our grills were taken away which is honestly a GOOD thing since we don't have to get charged per person for exceeding the time.

    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.

    The service here was amazing! One thing I noticed right away was that there wasn't a strong KBBQ smell lingering throughout the restaurant like there is at many other Korean BBQ spots. The side dishes were definitely my favorite part. I had to go back for refills of the japchae, kimchi fried rice, and several other items. The self-serve side dish bar had so many options that it kept every bite interesting, and I never felt food fatigue. The ambiance and overall vibe of the restaurant were also great, clean, welcoming, and enjoyable. Between the excellent service, delicious food, and variety of side dishes, this has easily become my favorite KBBQ spot. I'll definitely be coming back!

    For Kimchi Pancake lovers, this spot has the best kimchi pancake I've ever had!! The ratio of pancake batter to the kimchi filling is just perfect. You get a very thin, crispy outer layer, with very delicious, fresh-tasting kimchi and scallions filling on the inside. And each bite of it has a perfect crunch and I was told that the chef here makes his own kimchi and takes great pride in it. And of course, the main attraction here is the meat and the quality was just phenomenal. Friend and I went for the Essentials AYCE meat package for $39.99 per person. This menu included a nice variety of beef, chicken and pork meats. Most of your meats are in a self-serve bar. I mainly enjoyed beef brisket, nicely marinated bulgogi and 2 different types of pork meat. The beef brisket and bulgogi were outstanding, very juicy, tasty, tender. The meat was melting in my mouth. The spot itself has a nice modern design, with modern light fixtures and modern and very effective exhausts at the tables. Those exhausts made sure to keep my clothing fresh and free of kbbq smell. The customer service was excellent. Our server was nice and friendly and very informative on their menu and recommendations. Will definitely come again! Great experience!

    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.

    Such a great experience from beginning to end. Everyone was very kind and attentive and the 100 minute dining time flew by! Make sure to park in one of the two designated structures to get parking validation.

    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.

    My brother came into town from Singapore and really wanted to try some great food, so we decided on Moohan. Getting a weekend spot is tough--he originally tried to book for last Saturday or Sunday but they were completely full. We finally locked in a Friday reservation for 6:30 PM, and it was absolutely worth the wait! Parking was surprisingly easy and stress-free--only $3 with the restaurant validation. Once inside, the experience was great from start to finish. It's an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) spot with a 100-minute limit, though we were happily full and finished in about 70 minutes. They offer an "Essential" and a "Premium" tier. Because we had the kids with us, we opted for the Essential package, figuring premium wouldn't be worth it for them. Honestly, the Essential tier exceeded expectations. The meat quality is excellent. The standouts for us were definitely the pork jowl, beef brisket, and pork belly. The marinated meats were tasty too, just a tiny bit on the saltier side. Our server was incredibly nice. He took the time to explain how to order using the tabletop tablet and pointed us toward the massive buffet side-dish bar to grab appetizers while waiting for our meat orders to arrive. The selection at the buffet is huge--everything from traditional Korean banchan to tempura, fried rice, and chap chae. My younger son is usually a very picky eater, but last night he completely devoured the steamed egg, fried rice, pork belly, brisket, and melted cheese. When a picky kid eats that much, you know the food is good! Moohan is officially our new go-to spot for AYCE KBBQ. Highly recommend!

    Moohan is great. The service was good even with a bunch of huge grad parties, and the meat is top-tier. My family opted to get the premium option for the Galbi and other options and the self-serve line of side dishes made this experience even better. Parking is tricky and this place is on the pricier side, but it's a spot worth trying if you're craving Korean Kbbq in Koreatown

    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.

    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.

    Sides
    Becky L.

    We got the premium tier to try the steak and other premium meat and it was okay tbh. I'd say the beef belly, brisket, and sides carries the experience. We were wowed by the amount of side dishes, lettuce for our wrap, kimchi, corn cheese, with another self serve for meat. It was super packed at opening and saw people ordering the basic with a lot of side dishes, so might be the wave next time. We would come back here again for the basic tier but probably not the premium. Staff were super attentive, changed our grill without having to ask, and cooked for us here and there! Also parking is validated which comes in clutch! Just might be hard to find parking at night but we came right at the opening on a Friday.

The bar itself has a cozy atmosphere, and the photo booths are a great touch. We first ordered drinks from a female bartender who was friendly, professional, and served us quickly. The restrooms were clean and spacious. Having only two stalls for such a busy venue isn't ideal, but it could always be worse. Later, we went back to order another round. An older white bartender wearing glasses started serving us, and while he was preparing our drinks, he was also taking another group's order at the same time. I completely understood that since the bar was very busy. We ordered two Whiskey Sours and one of the bar's signature cucumber cocktails. The Whiskey Sours were served in margarita glasses without ice instead of traditional whiskey glasses. I assumed they had simply run out of the proper glassware because the bar was packed, so we didn't complain. The real problem started when it was time to pay. The bartender placed the payment terminal in front of the other group instead of us, and they accidentally paid for our order. Instead of acknowledging that it was his mistake, he immediately acted as if it was somehow our fault. We tried to resolve the situation calmly and even offered to pay the other group's bill and buy them an extra drink to make up for the price difference (their bill was about $31, while ours was around $45). When it came time for us to pay, I chose not to leave a tip because of the multiple mistakes that had already happened. At that point, the bartender completely lost his temper. In the middle of a packed bar, he raised his voice and started yelling at us, saying it was disrespectful not to tip him. He also complained that we had ordered drinks that weren't on the regular menu and that making them had taken him "so much time." As a bartender myself, I know exactly how long it takes to make a Whiskey Sour, and it's certainly not an unusually time-consuming cocktail. If preparing it had been a problem, he could have simply told us before taking our order. He continued shouting that the bar was extremely busy, called our behavior "disrespectful" and "f***ed up," and finally told us he would never serve us again. We were honestly shocked. This was the first time we've ever experienced someone reacting this aggressively simply because we chose not to leave a tip, especially after such poor service. I've worked in customer service for years, and I always tip when I receive good service. I would have had absolutely no problem leaving a generous tip if our experience had been pleasant. After that confrontation, we no longer felt comfortable staying in the bar, so we left immediately with a very negative impression. Looking back, I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. It seems that many of the negative reviews mention the exact same bartender. A truly disappointing experience.
