    Burned impossible bulgogi

    I did not reach out for that comp meal, but my wife ordered the same bowls again and everything was perfect :) We gave it two more tries since and everything was cooked to perfection each time. We will be back, thank you guys for offering great healthy options!

    The first bite of my food!!!

    The food was so well cooked and managed to deliver on time!!! One of my top 3 favorite food places to order from..

    Nutella Chia Pudding
    Dung N.

    Moonbowls is located in Barrio Food Hub, so I had it scheduled for pick up a couple months ago. I ordered the Korean hot chicken, chicken and egg, a couple of chia bowls, and built my own moonbowl! I love that you get updates on your order too! My order was nicely packaged for transport and came in a sturdy bag. The chicken and egg bowl was okay, but I really enjoyed the hot chicken and my custom moonbowl. I added roasted pineapple, marinated chicken, charred peppers, purple sweet potato noodles, spicy special sauce, pickled Fresno chiles, roasted corn, ginger garlic soy sauce, mandarin oranges, chicken breast, and citrus-marinated kale. This bowl was loaded with all my favorite things and it was so delicious and flavorful. The sweet potato noodles were different and very interesting. The chia pudding was pretty good too! I recommend building your own moonbowl if you decide to check this eatery out!

    We ordered three bowls. For the first bowl, they did not add kimchi. For the second bowl which is called Avocado Bulgogi, it didn't even have any avocados at all. For the last bowl, it didn't have any tofu. So basically all three bowls were inconsistent. However, I'll still give them 3 stars because of how they handled the situation - the kitchen staff apologized to us and the staff at the front provided us with a refund. We did however have to wait another 15 min or so for the refund. Update: Turns out they could not provide us with a refund right then and there. We were told to call corporate and request for a refund.

    Purple Noodle Salad
    Donnie M.

    Pretty disappointed in Moonbowls. I wanted to like it because the options seem super health and tasty. Also, the hours are great for healthy food in the area. Ordered for delivery and unfortunately both dishes were half prepared. Ordered off of uber eats. Prep time seemed to be a normal amount of time before it was available for the driver. The purple noodle salad had almost no ingredients that it was supposed to. It was essentially the noodles, mixed greens, and cold chicken. It was missing every other ingredient including cucumbers, mandarin oranges, peanuts, sesame seeds, and any sauce. The lack of fruit / sauce made it very dry. It's a shame because what was in there was fresh but it was clearly less than half done. Almost like they stopped making the salad half way through. I also did a build your own, which was another perplexingly dry salad. They forgot pineapple, kale, and BBQ. Both salads were only half prepared. I think they would have been great with all the ingredients. Sadly they were underwhelming, especially for how much they cost. May try this place again but would have to be in person to see if it's right.

    RAW CHICKEN

    I ABSOLUTELY will not recommend this place. My chicken was RAW! Let's hope I do not get sick after eating RAW chicken.

    I really like this place! I've ordered from here two times and both times were consistently delicious! I got the bbq bowl and I the chicken is cooked very well just the way I like it. I will say though that the chili dusted pineapple was cut bigger this time but I prefer it over the diced version I ate the first time. I ordered from Uber eats so I can't really say much about the location but the food is definitely good!

Here we go - so I paid full price for a combo meal, but several of the included items weren't available. They were out of my side dishes, out of rice for tomorrow, and ultimately had no rice at all--yet I was still charged full price. What's frustrating is that two different servers encouraged me to order the combo meal in the first place. I was dining in and also placing a takeout order, but I never received everything that was included in what I purchased. As someone who occasionally does paid collaborations with restaurants, I want to be clear that this was not a collaboration. It was simply a regular customer experience. It's eye-opening to see how some restaurants operate when you're just another paying customer. Experiences like this make you wonder whether the level of service changes when promotions or influencers are involved. Being in "ninja mode" definitely gives you a different perspective. At the end of the day, customers should receive what they're paying for--or be charged accordingly when key items are unavailable. Restaurants need to do better.

The quality of the food is also consistently solid. Everything tastes fresh, the marinades are flavorful without being overwhelming, and portions are fair. I also appreciate that they're accommodating with portion requests instead of making it complicated. Even the smaller details stand out here. Their sides are genuinely good, especially the steamed egg and rice paper. You can tell there's a difference in quality compared to a lot of other KBBQ spots.

    MANNA HEAVEN BBQ @ CONVOY…read more Parking is available in two different lots since this Korean BBQ spot is right on the edge of the main driving area, you'll have to choose one or the other. I'd recommend parking near Ole BBQ or closer to the UTC area because that lot is much easier to navigate. There's also free street parking, which is a plus. This place doesn't take reservations or allow you to join the waitlist over the phone, so you'll need to go in person to put your name down. They'll text you when your table is ready, so you can walk around while you wait. My party of six waited about 45 minutes, but it honestly went by faster than expected. Once seated, they have a newer system where you order your meats and sides through a tablet, which made things super convenient. The service was solid, staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to clear empty plates. The quality of the meat was really good. I highly recommend the beef belly, and the corn cheese was a standout for me--I had like three plates of it because it was that good. Our group had a great time overall. They also offer free ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, and green tea) for all guests, which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, including the bathrooms, and the ambiance is great. Just be prepared, you will smell like Korean BBQ afterward. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by!
