    Inside with ramen station along wall
    Karen L.

    Good go to place for teriyaki, sushi with a bit of Korean. It's a small restaurant located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Received a warm welcome from the staff at the counter. There were about 5 tables and a ramen station along one of the walls. We ordered the bulgogi bento box which comes with a small salad, miso soup, 4 California rolls and tempura. We also ordered the salmon and volcano roll. Everything tasted decent and good portions for the price. The bulgogi was a little dry and overly cooked but the flavor was good. We also tried cooking a ramen at the cooking station. I know we can get ramen for less than the $6 that they charge but I think you also pay for the experience of cooking it at the ramen station. We got the mild Jin ramen and it just hit the spot! I would definitely give this place a try if you're in the area. Noticed a lot of people picking up food to go. But plan to stay if you want to try the ramen station.

    Holiday special
    Erin R.

    I am so excited about Mukgo and I can't wait to come back. The shop is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The service is amazing. I didn't get the name of the woman who took our orders, but she was so kind. She gave us recommendations, helped us with the hot water dispenser, and was so pleasant to talk to. I love the idea of their packaged ramen system. Basically, you pick a packaged ramen from a wall and then you can make it with machines in the restaurant and add toppings like green onions and cilantro. I got lucky and came on the first day of their holiday special, so my soup was only 3.99. This is a great deal, but I'm not sure I would feel the same way if I had to pay the full price. I would love to see Mukgo expand their topping section to include things like sesame seeds, crispy onion or garlic, or even rice cakes. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Mukgo and I will be back!

    a hidden gem in the SCV area (must try!) I will be coming back for the lunchboxes (includes miso soup, salad, tempura (light & crispy batter), rice, and protein of choice (I chose chicken). It was very hearty and a great value! they are currently having specials on certain rolls, so I totally recommend you add them onto your meal! I want to try their instant ramen machine--they have so many different types of ramen available. The machine is the one they use at the han river in Korea so it's cool to be experience that here locally in the SCV area. Great food, great ambiance & great service. Truly a great experience and I will be back :)

    Found this place from my IG account and decided to try it today. Friendly service and Korean package ramen was pretty good. Wish they had Shin Black....which is my favorite. I had the regular Shin ramen, bowl of rice, and a mixed tempura. Mixed tempura was the BOMB! Best I've had in a long time!!!! Ordered Galbi bento, two mixed tempura and couple of sushi rolls togo for my family. Highly recommended!

    My kids love ramen so we came by to check it out. They had so much fun picking thier packet from the wall, cooking it and adding the toppings. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! The kids picked a mild ramen and it was perfectly spicy. We got a couple sushi rolls that were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

    Delicious and the owners are super nice and friendly. I enjoyed my dining experience here! It was peaceful and quiet! Good for solo diners or a quick stop for some sushi cravings! Yum!!

    I guess this is a decent. I enjoyed how unique it was in comparison to other places I've ate before, but truth be told I don't think I'd come back here to eat. For starters the ramen clearly has a cool style, you choose which ramen packet you want there's a poster that helps you know if you want spicy or non spicy ramen, after they give you a bowl that you add all your stuff to and place it in a ramen heating matching, there's a few toppings you're able to choose as well after free of extra charge. Right now before the ending of the year it's 50% off ramen but normal price is $6.59 something like that. Honestly the main reason I dined here is because my 7 & 4 year old though their concept was cool but would I pay that price for Japanese ramen I can find in H mart etc for less the price same exact thing? I do not think so. We also had their rolls and honestly their rice did not taste so well to me and the tuna/salmon did not contain the best quality. However their drinks I loved ! They have these two different drink options inside these clear plastic pouches that reminded me of an adult version Capri Sun and both drinks tasted amazing to me. They do not have a bathroom ? Apparently it is out of service and said we can go across the parking lot to use Starbucks restroom but who wants to do all that in the middle of your dine in experience when you have two young children that will require to use the restroom. I would imagine there being a sign already stating there isn't any restrooms available so you can determine whether or not you want to dine in since the start. As we were eating I also noticed they have a B grade vs an A which lead into my curiosity to see whether or not it's hygienic in their kitchen or not and I noticed how they had a mop up against their sink, and the head of the mop was entering where they wash dishes. So imagine the fact that after mopping the bathroom floors, the kitchen floors, the dining floors, etc., they place the mop against the same sink they used to wash the dishes that they used to prepare and make the food ? The lady who works in the front was very polite and helpful however, that's not enough to convince me to return. Hoping the business good luck !

    Water dispenser ramen maker thing
    Erika Chloe R.

    A nice selection of instant ramen to choose from. I ended up going with the spicy Jin ramen, and the yuzu drink they offer. They had a neat tier list to help choose from the different spice levels, which is helpful for people who aren't familiar with different ramen brands. I enjoyed the experience of using the ramen maker thing, and I love the idea of adding different toppings. The selection was a little small though, so I would love to see them expand the choice of toppings. Some sesame seeds, rice cakes, and things like that would have taken it a step up. I was there during the 3.99 holiday special, so I think a greater selection would make that regular price of 6.99 more justifiable. But the staff was so nice and helpful and the space definitely has potential to be a great study hang out spot.

We took a look and the pictures all looked delicious so we decided to give it a try. Best decision! We got to try the Tri tip which was my favorite, but also tried the half chicken (very juicy), & brisket. For side we got the mash potatoes and Mac and cheese which both had excellent flavor. We got a side of the grilled corn which wasn't our top from the other options but still good flavor. The waitress was also very helpful and answered all the questions my hubby had (he had asked quite a bit lol) They have seating inside and out but given the afternoon was fresh we opted to sit outside. The service didn't changed we were checked on often. Either way both options seemed pleasant. All in all, We were left in food coma after in the best way possible. This was a place we're saving to go back whenever we're in the area. 10/10

    This use to be out go-to place for special occasions but it has fallen to the "will not go back"…read morecategory. For starters, it is outrageously priced for what you get. I got sticker shock just looking at the menu. Over $20 for a regular wedge salad. The kicker though was the cleanliness of the place. First there was black mold growing in the drink menu. Then i looked at the brick floor ( we were sat outside) and i was disgusted (see photo). I understand that drinks and food get spilled but it doesn't take much to power wash the patio at night. My plate came out dirty with a chip on the dish-ware. The bbq bottles were sticky and congealed. Just think, if this the cleanliness of the dining room, imagine what the kitchen looks like. I have worked in the restaurant business before and this is just intolerable. Two stars for a good atmosphere (live music). But that's it. If you want great bbq, try Copper Hill BBQ. It's doesn't have the atmosphere of Smoke House but you get great BBQ and a clean environment.

    Definitely eat here…read more This place if ALWAYS fantastic and clean and has really hard workers that are always working steadily. Especially the Mexican woman and the Chinese woman. They have strong ethic and great customer service. The only thing to be warned of is that it's very busy here and the food is prepared from scratch, so you will wait for your FRESHLY COOKED DELICIOUSNESS. I recommend the $12 sandwiches in the original or "secret sauce" if you're on a budget, but the rice bowl and wings are great for a higher price point. I tried the Caribbean flavored rice bowl today, to try a new flavor(they have like 14). I was spicy, savory, and was enough for two to three people. I also enjoyed their staple fried wings with "secret sauce," which also has a kick. It is made from a sort of hoison/soy sauce with a little spiciness. Very flavorful with every bite, and a few wings is filling. The onion rings and sweet potatoes were both fresh and supplemented the meal just right. They are busy here from open to close, due to their consistent quality, so hurry and get your order in before they sell out! Thanks BB.Q!

I made a comment about how the menu is now a QR code, and Jorge pointed out the newer items, such as egg rolls, hashbrown, and fried squid. We also ordered two draft beers ($7/ pint). Jorge took our meat order and we started off with beef belly, thin pork belly and marinated pork skirt meat. The food arrived on a robot which was really fun. (Don't forget to hit the Done button to send the robot back home!). I also ordered the fried squid. I found the beef belly to be perfectly fatty, and it crisped up really well. My favorite has been the marinated pork skirt meet for a while now. The marinade is a little sweet, and the pork tasted great too. I tried the fried squid legs and there was a lot more fried, and less squid legs. However, the batter was pretty tasty! We ordered a few repeat meats, and Jorge was efficient with the grill changes. The last thing I ordered was the tofu soup. I don't want to say it was too spicy, but it definitely had a kick that left me coughing. I wish that we could pick the spice level, maybe next time I will ask to see if it's possible to get less spice. This is my favorite KBBQ spot in SCV. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The icing on the cake for me is that they always have the best music playing! I always have a good time whenever I come here.
