After going several times, MUN definitely ranks up there in one of the better Korean BBQ places in KTown. On my most recent trip to LA, I convinced a friend to try out MUN after I had a great experience the last time with my family. While the previous time was during dinner where it was more crowded, this time it was during the late lunch hour which was a lot more chill. Both times I had ordered the MUN's Choice menu (5/5) which felt like a pretty good deal considering the amount and quality of food. The meats come out in an impressive display which includes prime ribeye, prime hanging tender, prime chuck tail, and marinated boneless short rib. Like other Korean restaurants, they had generous banchan, but the menu also comes with cheese fondue, bulgogi jeon, japchae, and choice of stew all of which was great! The service was pretty good both times. Always appreciate when there is a server there to cook the meats for us to make sure it is well cooked. Parking can be difficult as it is with most places in KTown. They do offer valet on select times, but otherwise may need to find paid parking at a lot depending on the time of day. Overall, MUN is a great KBBQ place to try especially if you are looking for a more premium experience in KTown. read more

The food was great, but the service was unacceptable. One waitress, who didn't even have other tables, couldn't be bothered to properly serve us. She would walk away whenever we asked for something and couldn't give a simple explanation about an ingredient when we asked due to an allergy concern. This was lunch, and we spent over $350 for four adults and five little kids, yet the service didn't come close to matching that. Then we were told a 20% tip would be added because of a "large party." If that's the policy, the service should reflect it. There are far better places to eat in K-town. I specifically chose this spot because I thought they offered valet, but to be clear, it's only available on Friday and Saturday evenings. We won't be coming back, and I strongly suggest management invest in better staff training. I don't usually write negative reviews, I typically just share great places on Instagram, but this experience warranted it. read more

I do love collecting my outdoor KBBQ spots, because there aren't that many! MUN scores high in the ambience book for sure, as the outdoor patio is a literal courtyard, so cute and so intimate! I've come here twice now, and the food is decent. The first time I came, they cooked the food in front of us, but the second time, it came pre-cooked and ready to eat. I enjoy both options. The meat is good, but didn't make me scream with excitement or anything. The food is on the more expensive end, and I had hoped the meat quality would be more decadent. It was filling and satisfying, but nothing stood out crazy to me. Their sides are quite delicious though, as their salad and glass noodles are highkey good. I did not expect to be so obsessed with salad at a KBBQ place lol! Dog friendly as well if you sit outside! Parking is as you expect it to be in Ktown, either metered street parking, or the underground lot under Hmart across the street! read more

Mun Korean Steakhouse is easily one of my new favorite Korean BBQ restaurants in LA. The meat was extremely high quality, tender, and flavorful, especially the ribeye and short ribs. I loved that the staff cooked everything for us and asked what temperature we preferred. The banchan was fresh and delicious, and I especially enjoyed the japchae, bulgogi patties, sweet potato mozzarella sticks, Mun's stew, and crispy chicken wings with cheese fondue. The service we received from April was excellent, and the entire experience felt perfect for a date night, birthday, or special celebration. I highly recommend visiting! read more

I've been to Mun a couple times, once to celebrate a birthday where we were given the entire upstairs area, and once at the end of November for a double date. Years ago I remember Mun was always very busy and almost more of a party atmosphere. The second time I came it seemed half empty, but maybe everyone was out of town for the holidays. Both times our server was able to have a shot of soju with us. We ordered the beef tartare and the OMG set menu for 4 people for $210 as well as some drinks and soju. We ended up getting hooked up with an extra bottle of soju and the beef tartare for free. The servers will cook and cut the meat for you. Mun has always been a good experience if you're willing to pay more for a slightly more premium feeling Korean BBQ experience that's a tier below somewhere like Daedo, but it can be pricey if you're not prepared! read more

Great for big groups. If you eat inside you can get the ramen too but they have to bring it inside for you which is fine! The kid loved the ramen bar and ate EVERY PIECE OF MEAT.

A K-BBQ restaurant with an amazing atmosphere! The beef is especially delicious, and the cheese fondue dip the meat into is an absolute game changer--such a perfect combo. Their galbitang and yukgaejang are a must-try. Honestly, the broth is even better than many Korean restaurants that specialize in soups. After grilling the meat, pouring that warm, comforting soup over rice is pure perfection. Unlike many K-BBQ spots that are loud and crowded, this place has a much calmer vibe, making it great for family dinners as well. read more

Not sure if he was a host or manager or whatever but the boy who sat us was kinda rude. He looked so dismissive and just looks like he doesn't wanna work. Anyways, bad first impressions aside, came here for a birthday celebration with friends. We parked in a nearby lot for $20 on a weekend night. It was pretty yummy but a little on the pricy side considering theres 100s of options in that area. The server cooks for you so that's great. The side dishes tasted good. We were a large party so we ordered 2 different menu combo sets. The sets we got were the OMG (feeds 4) and the Feast (feeds 3). We also ordered the beef tartar but it was ok, I would not get it again. The cuts for our combos were delicious though. The servers were attentive so nothing was burnt or overcooked. I also got a yuzu highball, it was yummy. The slushie at the end of the meal was a great way to end the meal! Overall, pretty good. I'd come back.. read more

Mun Steakhouse was absolutely amazing. My friend and I came here on a Tuesday night we made reservations however they were still willing to take us right away. My friend and I opted in for the date night special with came with three amazing beef choices. It also comes along with many side dishes. All three beef selections were amazing. They were also fresh well cooked and ready to indulge! My favorite would definitely have to be the marinated ribs or the ribeye. Highly recommend recommended! Our servers Deborah and Derrick were amazing. They always came to ensure that our service and experience with nothing less than perfect and that our meat was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're ever in Ktown. Also to know if you're a dog lover, you're also dog friendly and offer outdoor seating ! A true gem of k town! read more

The experience was not on par with other Korean BBQ places. Food came out already cooked, which kinda ruined the experience, waiter forgot to bring several items and the restaurant was not even busy. Either they were short staffed or just inattentive. read more

Very disappointing experience. The service was poor, and the staff had an attitude that made us feel unwelcome. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the premium prices they charge. We expected much better given the cost. Unfortunately, this place did not meet our expectations, and we won't be coming back. Overpriced and overrated. read more

I've been to a lot of Korean BBQ spots around LA, but MUN Korean Steakhouse in Koreatown easily stands out as one of the best. From the moment you walk in, the place feels upscale and modern -- definitely more of a luxury vibe than your typical BBQ joint. I ordered the Date Night Combo along with the Kimchi Bomb Rice, and both were phenomenal. The meats were top-quality, beautifully marbled, and cooked right at the table by the staff -- perfectly tender and juicy every time. The Kimchi Bomb Rice was the perfect mix of flavor and comfort, and I honestly could've eaten a whole bowl of it by myself. Service was amazing too -- super attentive without being overbearing. You can really tell they take pride in every detail here, from presentation to atmosphere. If you're looking for a Korean BBQ experience that's a step above the rest, MUN Korean Steakhouse is absolutely worth it. read more

AN ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE IF YOU WANT QUALITY MEAT IN A KOREAN STEAKHOUSE PROS----- Meat: All cuts of the meat we had were so fresh and flavorful. You definitely receive a high quality. The sides were also very delicious as well. My favorites were the short ribs. We had 4 people and the OMG combo was the perfect amount of food. Ambiance: This is a restaurant on the smaller side so make reservations to ensure a table. It's a lively place with good energy and vibes of people having a good time. The table settings are beautiful. Grill: This is one of the best grilling set ups I have seen. Absolutely no smoke smell on our clothes when we left, the exhaust fan kept us all clean. Service: Very attentive and quick service. Our waiter cooked our meat to perfection CONS----- Nothing read more

MUN Korean Steakhouse - Beautiful spread We got the OMG combo - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The meat here is excellent, no joke. We had a rotation of staff members cooking different cuts of meat from the OMG set for four, and almost everything was cooked to perfection. The ribeye and beef belly were my favorites. The bad: The service was a mixed bag. The staff were attentive when it came to cooking the meat, but they lacked hospitality and attentiveness in the rest of our dining experience. For example, when we first arrived, we were told to leave in 2 hours before we even sat down. Another downside is the huge vent coming out from underneath the table. While it does its job well, it takes up more than a foot of leg space, and at the smaller tables, it's quite uncomfortable. Also, as usual, parking is terrible in Ktown. read more

We walked into this place expecting a good meal, but the first thing that happened? No greeting, no "welcome"--just a staff member rushing up and barking: "Two hours only! You have to leave in two hours!" Really? We hadn't even sat down yet and they were already trying to push us out. There were four of us, and we ordered the OMG set. The food itself? No complaints. The meat was tender, fresh, and perfectly grilled. Quality-wise, it was great. But the service? Absolutely awful. Not all the side dishes were refillable, and even when they were, we had to wait forever for anyone to notice. Our water was empty for over thirty minutes before someone finally came over--only because I flagged them down. When they weren't grilling meat, every staff member was glued to their phones behind the bar, ignoring customers like we didn't exist. This is apparently their idea of "service." And yet, they still expect a tip? What a joke. Even when we asked simple questions while they were grilling, we were met with cold stares and curt "yes" or "no" answers. It felt like we were bothering them just by asking. So yes--the meat might be good, but with service this bad? I'm never coming back. read more

Started the New Year off with my favorite type of food... Korean food!!!! Annnd on day 1 of the year I found my new favorite Korean Steakhouse @munkoreansteakhouse I'II take that as a sign it's going to be a great year! Mun Korean Steakhouse is not your regular everyday Korean BBQ place. It's an upscale elevated experience. The meat is such good quality it melts in your mouth... even the medium well pieces my sister chose (Ava and I are medium rare girlies) We arrived right at opening and the place quickly filled up. We made a reservation... I recommend you do the same. You know the food is going to be good when the kimchi is on point. 10/10 totally recommend Thank you @piggie_la for recommending. read more

Came here on a Saturday night since I was craving KBBQ. Had to pay for parking at a nearby plaza because it's LA. It was packed inside so we were given outdoor patio seating, which was the better choice of seating because you sit under a big tree strung with lights. The ambience is serene and very nice. We did notice that the place is right next to a residential neighborhood, so we're curious how they feel about the constant noise and smell of KBBQ. We chose the Date Night (serves 2) combo for $110 which comes with banchan and three servings of meat: prime beef belly, prime ribeye, marinated boneless short ribs. The prime beef belly was by far the best meat because it pairs best with the sauce given. There's a person that cooks the high quality meat for you, so it's cooked well each time + they use bread to soak up the fat. It was super filling and everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend for a night out if you're looking to splurge a bit. read more

Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 Nice restaurant with patio seating perfect for hanging out with friends. We had a reservation, so the wait wasn't long. Parking in the area is pretty rough. I think they offer valet, but don't quote me on that lol. It was toward the end of the day when we went, and the staff looked tired some were even slouching over the bar counter which I found kinda funny. That said, they were attentive and came to you when it was time to grill, so we didn't really have to flag anyone down. We ordered the Mun's Choice, which worked out really well for our group of 5. I do wish they had told us which cut they were grilling at the time it was hard to keep track and I can't remember which was my favorite. Mun's Choice includes: prime ribeye prime hanging tender prime chuck tail flap marinated boneless short rib- i like the marinate on this, definitely my favorite cut! Complimentary dishes: cheese fondue bulgogi yuk jeon - My absolute favorite of the night! It's a beef pancake that's both savory and sweet. I've never had anything like it before so so so good and the mustard onion goes so well together! Japchae mun stew mun's mushrooms - wish there was more of the mushrooms! seasonal slush - unfortunately, they were out when we went so did not get to try. egg souffle - this has cheese in it, which I loved. mul naengmyeon - cold buckwheat noodle soup that's super refreshing, especially after all the grilled meat. stir fried tofu & veggies - SO good. I don't know what sauce they use, but it paired perfectly with white rice. I need the recipe! Overall, this place leans more toward the fine dining side of KBBQ, which explains the slightly higher price point. It's pretty on par with nearby competitors like Quarter and Baekjeong. I'd definitely come back especially if there's no wait hehe. read more

Traveled from OC to LA and had to try Mun Korean Steakhouse! They didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was great and everyone around us was enjoying their meals. Now I know why they give you 2 hours to eat! So much food! Brandon was an awesome server and showed us how to best enjoy our first KBBQ meal. I wish there was a Mun in OC but, for now it was a fun adventure that we will do again. Highly recommend the kimchi pancakes! read more

IG/TT @ eatwkris So good if you're looking for a Korean barbecue with high quality meats. I like the mun's choice which is $65 per person and comes wi the 4 cuts of meat and a ton of sides. The meats are so tender with my favorite being the prime hanging tender and marinated short rib. Dip it in some salt and add some wasabi and it's so good. It also comes with assorted banchan, soybean stew, japchae, bulgogi pancakes, and a lemonade slush for dessert. It was the perfect amount per person and I love that they cook for you here too. read more

I had such a great experience at Mun Korean Steak House on 12/5/25. From the moment we walked in, the service was genuinely top tier. The staff was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, they made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Perfect for a birthday celebration or a date night! And we brought a really pretty cake with us, and I really appreciated that one of our servers didn't automatically put a candle in it, but asked first. Which I thought was such a thoughtful touch and showed great attention to detail. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and everything felt very well-paced. I would absolutely come back again. read more

went to try this place after over a year of finding out about it and regret not trying it so much sooner the restaurant was dim but vibey - service is great! i think they lowkey forgot about us at the end but it's okay lolol the general service was great they cooked all the meat for us and did it really well - we ordered the feast for 3 people and it was quite a lot even though it didn't look like it, especially if you order other things. the beef cuts were so so good! the pork was also good and was pleasantly surprised by the jowl. def so good having it with their kimchi to balance out the heaviness of the meat! their potato salad, salad, and japchae were also SO good! the potato salad had some kind of seasoning or sauce in it that made it salty which was nice. i liked the stew that was included as well! very light and the cabbage inside was so yummy we also got the bang bang shrimp, beef tartare, and kimchi fried rice. the shrimp was SO good!! honestly it looked small in photos but irl it's quite good sized for what it is and is like $18! best part is that we hardly smelled like beef after so we didn't feel gross - would def go back! read more

Went here for a date night and honestly, it was disappointing. The service was great, no complaints there, but the food really didn't match up. The meat was super chewy almost rubbery and had a strange, not-fresh taste. It also didn't look anything like the quality they show online. As someone who's tried a lot of Korean BBQ spots around LA, this was easily the worst experience I've had. I thought Korean bbq was suppose to be yummy but not after this. Good service can't really make up for bad food, especially at a place like this. Is it even real beef? We didn't even finish the food and decide to leave. read more

Wowie the meat quality here is off the charts! I got the Mun Special which came with 4 different types of meats and a bunch of sides. Also added a half order of kkotssal, steamed egg & kimchi stew. We started with the kkotssal and it was sooooo good. Perfectly cooked by our server & the red wine salt is a game changer! The steamed egg was so yummy, they added cheese on top too so it was a eggy cheesy gooey goodness in every bite. The kimchi jigae is a hard pass yall. It was sooooo sour and had 0 kimchi flavor. 0/10, might've been the worst kimchi stew I've ever had Besides the kimchi jigsae, everything else was great. Service was really good and all the meats were very good The prime ribeye and hangar was suuuuper tasty and so tender, it caught us off guard because we didn't expect much but man oh man were they delicious! Definitely wanna try out some other meats next time, like the pork belly and beef tongue. Highly recommend for date nights or dinner w friends because the vibes are really nice inside and there's a lot of tables outdoors and upstairs where it's a bit more private! read more

a popular korean steakhouse in koreatown, parking is classically difficult to find. if you're lucky you can find street parking nearby or there are a couple of lots that you may need to pay for to park in. the ambiance inside was chic and spacious, perfect for a fancy night out or a classy casual meet up. the food was amazing and beat my expectations and the service was friendly and attentive. there are a few set menus you can choose from as well as a la carte items. it is on the pricier side so i would probably go for special occasions, but it is worth the experience! MUN's Choice Set for 2 people ($65/person) - Included Side Dishes we ordered their cheapest set which was still so good and very filling. the side dishes tasted very elevated and had fun twists on traditional korean flavors while still maintaining the integrity of the traditional tastes. all of the side dishes paired really well with the meat and complimented the experience. - Included Meat + A La Carte Pork Belly the presentation was very cool with the dry ice and every piece of meat was tender, juicy and overall delicious. you could taste the high quality of the meat. we also added on an a la carte item of pork belly and although we were full by the time it was cooked, it was still so worth it. they also cook the meat in front of you and they asked us how we liked it cooked. Acorn Seafood Pancake we had no idea what to expect for this, but i love acorn jelly and i love a seafood pancake so what could go wrong? we were pleasantly surprised at this appetizer. it was so unique and tasty and the chewy pancake with crispy edges balanced the textures very well. Strawberry Lychee Martini & Agua Fresca Mojito the drinks were strong but tasty. it wasn't too much that it felt overwhelming but i thought the serving size was good and the sweetness covered the alcohol taste well without being painfully sweet. read more

It was rainy and cold to try MUN patio so we opted for the steakhouse and it did NOT disappoint! My party of 3 ordered the Date (2 ppl) order with a half serving of pork belly. Our favs were the galbi & ribeye steak , but what blew me away were the side dishes! The japchae, salad, CHEESE, pickled veggies and stew were delicious. Def do NOT skimp out on the cheese. We were too full to order additional rice/noodle dishes, but SO satisfied! Great service , very attentive and they grilled to perfection. A higher price point for bbq, but worth the price for the meat quality and service. We also got a corner to ourselves upstairs so it wasn't chaotic or loud like other kbbq spots. read more

MUN is such a fun and memorable dining experience. We ordered the Mun's Choice combo, and it was worth every penny. At $65 per person with a two-person minimum, it's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of the meat and presentation make it feel special from start to finish. The combo includes ribeye, hanging tender, chuck tail flap, and marinated boneless short rib, which ended up being my favorite cut of the night. Everything was cooked right at the table for us, and our server, Nicole, was absolutely wonderful. She made sure each piece was grilled perfectly and checked in often to see if we were happy with how things were going. The meal also comes with a great mix of sides and extras: cheese fondue, bulgogi yuk jeon, japchae noodles, and MUN stew, along with the usual banchan like spicy salad and creamy potato salad. You'll leave full and satisfied. The only downside is parking. It's street parking only and nearby lots charge $20. Still, for the overall experience, I would come back. Just plan ahead for parking. read more

Finally was able to try Mun KBBQ after hearing a lot of good reviews from friends and social media. Got a reservation two weeks in advance to sit indoors. There is an outdoor patio that you can also join the waitlist for if you go in person which is on a first come first serve basis. Got the combo plate for 3-4 people ($170). The combo plate had a variety of different cuts of meat which was so tasty. If you're looking for a great Korean barbecue spot that doesn't sacrifice quality then Mun bbq is the place for you. Server was extremely quick nice and the side dishes that come out are very tasty as well. They also have a cocktail menu, which is very cool prices range from 17 bucks and above. Mun is pretty spacious with high ceilings and you dont get that smokiness in some places where their ventilation sucks. If you're celebrating someones birthday or for a special event, i think Mun is a great choice. If youre looking for a kbbq spot for AYCE or with more variety probably look elsewhere. Parking is valet or street parking. Would recommend ubering as it is in prime koreatown. Parking is scarce. read more

Such good food! I am a tough critic. Such nice people an the food was superb! I will deffinatly be back for more when nearby.

They allow dogs in the back! But you can't grill things yourself. They bring you everything already cooked, which is honestly how I prefer it. The service was SO friendly to us and our dogs. They even gave us some house-made dog treats! The food was delicious. I did think the place was a little pricey, but I don't go to kbbq a lot so I don't know if it's comparable to other places. The bulgogi was really good and the flavor was perfect. I'd highly recommend this place. read more

Modern-y looking kbbq place with both soju and liquor. Ordered a few a la carte meat plates - way too many actually - for two people. Had 4 half-orders since we were craving specific cuts. Probably a better call to do the set menus since it's made on a per person basis. The meat quality was great and the portions were bigger than we thought we were going to get. The MUN stew was awesome also. Wish there were more banchan choices though. Otherwise, a good time and would come back. read more
