    I don't usually leave restaurant reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. Moon BBQ #2 has quickly become one of my favorite spots in LA. The quality of the meat is outstanding, the self-serve banchan bar is always fresh and delicious, and the overall atmosphere is fun, lively, and welcoming. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable, and the service is consistently excellent. A special shoutout to my favorite server, Jacob, who always goes above and beyond to make sure I have a great experience. Whether it's recommending dishes or helping cook everything to perfection, he genuinely elevates the whole meal! One of my favorite moves here is throwing some corn tortillas on the grill and making little KBBQ tacos... highly recommend trying that! I've already told a ton of friends about this spot, and I'll keep doing it. If you're a KBBQ fan looking for a new go-to, give Moon BBQ #2 a try... and ask for Jacob. You won't be disappointed! -A real Angeleno who appreciates great food and great people.

    For the price, I'd say the AYCE Kbbq experience here was worth it! As we finished our meal, there were a lot of people waiting outside because the waiting area isn't too big. I definitely recommend timing when to come here. The small lot for this spot was valet parking by the time it was 5PM. You can do that or street parking. The pricing goes by tiers and as of February 2026, we have A at 23.99, B at 29.99, and C at 34.99 per person. We got the B. Once they call your name and group, you pay already at the counter. For groups of 5+, there's 15% gratuity included. The meat quality of the brisket would be a 3/5 for me. Beef belly 5/5, LA galbi was 4/5. Flower steak was too tough 2/5 and rib fingers were 4/5. The server we had was efficient and changed our grills a couple times. For the steamed egg, you can only order 1 for every 2 people, but us sharing it wasn't so bad as it was pretty fluffy. The miso and tofu soup had a kick of spice that I liked! Going to the bathroom is a bit cramped and definitely not for ADA since you walk through a narrow hallway where people sit at as they wait. The free salad bar is small and really more for sides! Kimchi, rice paper, japchae, macaroni, etc. I like it since some restaurants hand out plates of sides already and some sides don't even get touched.

    I really can't get behind low Yelp reviews because what do you mean yall only gave 3 stars to Moon BBQ #2??? Are you holding out to give the rest of the stars to Moon BBQ #1 or something??? Considering the price (about $60 total for the two of us), this place was exactly what we wanted out of Korean BBQ that is: 1. AYCE 2. located in LA 3. existing in this economy At the end of the day, I'm happy with some great bulgogi marinade and a server who jumps to change our grill top for us not one, but four different times.

    This place is such a Hidden Gem i have been coming here with my boyfriend for 3 years & have always had a GREAT experience with all the employees. The service is amazing The food is delicious, it always hits the spot!

    My experience at Moon is always a blast. It's my favorite all you can eat KKBQ in Ktown!! The service is always 5 stars and all the staff is friendly and smiling ( shoutout Alex!). Whether it's busy or slow the food always tastes amazing and it feels like we are home each time we go. Thank you guys for always being so great.

    After 6 flags one of my son's friends requested if we can dine in at Korean Bbq. So I searched it up on Yelp on our way home to see which place was closest to where we were at. "MOON BBQ 2" showed up on my yelp search. When we arrived the parking was too small and tight , and you have to pay for the parking. Also there's a long line to dine in. I thought it would take forever before we could eat, but because we were 6 people we got accomodated right away 'coz a big table just opened up, we probably just waited like 10 mins. So before seating , they will ask you to pay first, if you have a group of more than 5 to 6 people, there's an automatically 15% tip charged already. Banchan and other side dishes are help yourself at their salad bar. We were seated with 2 grills, I assigned the second grill to my Son and his Friends and the other one was for me and my husband. There are 3 levels on their Menu and I chose only the minimum one they have 'coz we are with 4 teens and some were not familiar with Korean Bbq's or were not big eaters. But it worked, the teens enjoyed the food, but they were not able to try all of what was on the menu 'coz they kept Chatting more than eating ;) But me and my husband enjoyed it and were able to order everything on our menu level. The meats here were well marinated and tender. The service was fast and friendly.

    I love moon. My friends and I come for the good ahh food. It's well seasoned and super delicious. The service is great, they don't hoover a lot they actually let you enjoy the all you can eat and never pressure you out. Soon as I get paid tmr I'm coming back . 10000/10. OMG I forgot the Mac salad .... Ughhhh so good.

    Affordable AYCE KBBQ restaurant in LA that has 3 options to choose from. One pays before sitting down, which we found quite odd, but the quality of the meat is good, especially the bulgogi, which was marinated. The brisket was plentiful but a little dry/not as flavorful. The restaurant doesn't have many sauces to dip things in. They do have a "salad" bar with nice banchan options. The servers were attentive and brought out the meats quickly and changed our grill when needed. I also appreciated having multiple tongs at the table.

    Omg, Alex is the best waiter! not only did he recommend the best choice of meat but great movies! if i can give Alex a ten star i would !

    Moon BBQ 2 is always amazing--great food, fresh sides, and a fun atmosphere. Alex is hands down the best server here and deserves a raise for how well he takes care of customers!

    It's been so long since I've been here and it is still amazing as it was during the pandemic. Now there's better seating and a self serve salad bar which was amazing. Still have to pay upfront but it's honestly better that way once you're done you leave. The food itself is decent, the flavors are great and a good selection of meats, this place is good if you want more bang for your buck and don't really care about gourmet. Service is super amazing, the guys here are so attentive and bring everything promptly. It can be loud In here but it's a cool place to come eat especially late night. I definitely recommend coming here

The space itself is cute, trendy, and modern, but according to my Korean friends, the food stays true to tradition -- which is exactly what you want from a place like this. There was a line when we got there, but it moved quickly -- and they came around to take our order while we were still waiting, so food came out fast once we sat down. I've had bossam before and always got cold, sliced meat -- not my thing. Here, it comes out hot, and the pork jowl was incredible. I genuinely could not stop eating it, so tender with that perfect grilled edge. They also start you off with a little bowl of barley rice (bori bap) as part of the banchan -- first time trying it and it was such a nice, unexpected touch. We also shared the chicken sujebi and it was pure comfort in a bowl. The hand-torn noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was seasoned just right -- not too salty, just deeply savory. Heads up on parking: it's tough. I got lucky with street parking but it's only 1-hour limit, so keep an eye on the clock. The lot is valet only and looked chaotic when we pulled up, so budget extra time (and maybe cash) if you go that route. Honestly one of my favorite meals I've had in Koreatown, and a great spot to bring visitors -- my friends loved it too. Already planning my next visit to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend, especially if you love Korean comfort food done right.

Danbi is located in Los Angeles's Koreatown and specializes in modern Korean cuisine. For Dine LA, they offered a $45 tasting menu. We started with their signature honey butter chips. I used to not understand what all the hoopla was about these chips! But today, they were really good... and I think it's the honey butter sauce. The first time I ever had these chips, in 2024, there was no sauce on them. I just thought they were regular chips. And I probably never would have gotten them again if they weren't on a prix fixe menu. These chips were divine! Thinly sliced potatoes fried in house and topped with a decadent honey butter sauce and fresh chives. The sauce really made this appetizer. Thick and creamy, almost like condensed milk. And the touch of freshness from the chives really brought everything together. Although simple, I felt like this dish was very well crafted. Next, we had the corn cheese rolls - sweet corn and mozzarella cheese wrapped in an eggroll-like pastry and served with a sweet, tangy gochujang sauce on the side. These came piping hot and were so fun to eat. The cheese was so stretchy and the sauce really elevated this dish, cutting through that rich cheese and adding a savory, almost smoky element. Then our drinks arrived. I got the hwachae milk punch with milk clarified soju, strawberry, lychee, and lime. This drink was sweet and fruity and tasted just like one of those lychee jellies you would buy at the Asian grocery store. My friends had the kimchi mule, house white kimchi infused soju with ginger and pear - essentially a Moscow mule with fermented notes and a savory umami from the kimchi. Nice and refreshing. Then we had a watermelon kimchi salad. This wasn't my favorite. Compared to everything else we had tonight, this was a bit boring. It was light and refreshing, but I wanted more fermented flavor. But it was still good, and the Hami melon was nice and crisp. You can never really go wrong with watermelon. Then we had the spicy sashimi noodles with sea bream, soba, dropwort, and perilla. This dish was interesting, summery, and cool. Cold soba with a spicy kick. Flavor wise, the ssamjang and perilla stood out to me. And the soba and sashimi added some nice textural contrast. Our last savory course was their grilled pork jowl topped with their house chili crisp and served with a side of garlic rice along with some ssamjang and peppers. The pork jowl was, of course, delicious. The cut is naturally bouncy due to being jam packed with collagen. The grill imparted a nice, smoky charcoal flavor to the meat, which was also infused with that delicious chili oil. Their garlic rice is so good! It's packed with garlic flavor and perfectly fluffy. For dessert, we had a goguma parfait - sweet potato custard with a strawberry and blueberry compote. This dessert was.. interesting. The texture was smooth and creamy, but you could definitely tell that there was a sweet potato in there. I think this dessert could use a little more textural contrast. I definitely would have appreciated a cake layer in the parfait or a more prominent crunchy element rather than just the two pieces of tuile garnish on top. That being said, it was still good. Danbi is one of my favorite restaurants in LA if not my number one favorite. Their menu feels modern, interesting, and creative, innovating on traditional Korean classics while remaining authentic and delicious. I especially liked their Dine LA menu for this season as it felt very fun and summery. I can't wait to come back and see what else they have to offer!

You get SO much food: appetizers, the main course, two types of soup, and dessert. You definitely won't leave hungry! The food is mostly plant-based and pretty mildly seasoned, so keep that in mind if you prefer stronger flavors. Nothing particularly stood out to me this time, so I'm not sure I'd come back specifically for the food, but I'd definitely return when I'm craving lots of veggies and traditional Korean flavors. Overall, I'd recommend it if you enjoy Korean food and want something different from the typical Korean BBQ experience!

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

    my $20 lunch special turned into like 4 meals. GREAT value…read more i was craving korean home-style cooking and found this place. it's got affordable lunch specials under $20. i was really surprised at just how much food i received for just $20... giant plate of sizzinging. perfectly seasoned pork ribs & onions with a really nice char. a big cup of rice, a really great banchan spread with lots of variety, and a massive bowl of broth with such a great mild flavor to balance the spicy banchan and rich pork. it was phenomenal, cured my tummy ache, and immediately took me back to my trip to korea many years ago. i inhaled everything but there was so much food i ended up with a big takeout bag. i kid you not this one $20 meal has turned into like 4 meals for me. pork turned into lettuce wraps, rice fried and mixed with eggs , broth used to elevate a cheap ramen. i WILL be back. i wish i could have bought some of the banchan as an extra charge or something so i could take it home with me because im STILL dreaming of it. the inside has good a/c and a cute homely atmosphere. and the staff was incredibly kind and helped me choose what to eat and helped me pack up the broth once i was done eating. you can see the giant goblet of boiling broth in the kitchen as you eat. easy parking behind the restaurant and in the street.

    Suuper bummed about our experience today. We ordered the cold noodle & LA galbi combo as we always…read moredo, and a leek pancake as we weren't as hungry and the combo usually fills us up. Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.
