“I came to MOA to celebrate my friend’s graduation with her family, and we had such an amazing time! Our server was Gavin, and he did a great job explaining the menu, cooking for us, and making sure we were well taken care of all night. The bartenders Amberly and Nate also pushed our experience over the top. They were both so fun to talk to, and Amberly made me this amazing personalized cocktail. My friend and her family shared the Premium 2 combo, and they all loved it. I am vegetarian, so I had the veggie stir fry platter with tofu, and it was the best stir fry I’ve ever had! Overall the service and food from MOA was excellent, and it’s such a fun experience for a group of people. 10/10 will be coming here again!“

“Excellent food and service. Among the best Korean restaurants in Columbia. Our party ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Beef Bulgogi, Bibimbop and several appetizers including Kimchi Pajeon, Mandu and Tteokbokki. All were excellent as were the various Banchan. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the speed of the service. The owner, a Korean lady, was very friendly and kind. With the demise of O'Bok and the rumored upcoming sale of Hero, Gangnam is a great addition to Columbia's stable of Korean restaurants. We will be returning soon!“

“Atmosphere, only do to the music was so loud, we couldn't hear the waitress most of the time. Good tunes just to loud.Kid-friendliness: Yes, kudos friendly, but do keep close eye on them due to the fact there table to stoves.you are cooking food at your table.“

“First time at Burning 99 and it was amazing!! The atmosphere was dope. The food selection was incredible. Our waiter Julio was so energetic and helpful!! The Korean BBQ was so delicious and easy to prepare!! The abundance of options for both Hot Pot and the BBQ were crazy!! We definitely enjoyed every bit of it and will be back!! It’s most definitely worth the price!!“

“First time eating from this restaurant and very impressed! We grabbed our order to go. Nice menu selection. Located in a very nice and clean area. It has roadside parking but we had to park and walk a little bit, less than a block to get to it. Hostess was very nice and helpful. Food arrived quickly. Can I just say.... Packaged nicely and carefully, truffle fries and wings were magnificent!! Must come back to try more items. Soy and garlic flavors are impeccable!!!!! Ate too quickly to take pics like we usually would; ooops ;)“

“ISO AUTHENTIC Korean. Like someone's Korean grandma that cooks with the heart! Which is who greeted us in this very casual market and restaurant adventure . While I waited for my SPC army daughter, (was stationed in Korea) I ventured into the specialty market. A trip into Korean cuisine. I felt I was definitely in another country. I had my heart set on pork belly as I saw they had on the menu. Unfortunately we have to cook it tabletop ourselves. As a chef myself, I go out to be cooked for so I ordered spicy Squid. It satisfied my traveling craving search for Korean grandma's cooking. My children's favorite is still the competition down the block which I detoured from because I wanted the elusive pork belly. My coffee was cold and instant. I'd definitely shop here for the necessary specialty ingredients when I put on my Korean chef's hat!“

“This Korean family-style restaurant is incredibly clean and inviting. The unlimited complimentary side dishes are a fantastic touch. The fish cakes were exceptionally tasty, and the seafood pancake had wonderfully fresh octopus. The stone pot bibimbap was served at just the right temperature, and I absolutely loved it ～^_^Overall, a great dining experience!“

“I have tried a lot of different flavors including: taeyong, lemon pepper ( both the wet and dry seasoning) soy honey etc. I would say all of them are very delicious and I am kinda addicted to this place just that it is a bit pricey. I really recommend the honey garlic.“

“The food was so AMAZING! I ordered the Kimichi jjigae and the flavor was out of this world. I immediately had to write this review after finishing the bowl. I loved how the dumplings were vegetables and tofu. the waiter was by himself but he was great. 10/10 “

“If you’re looking for Authentic Korean food, this is it. Since I’m Korean, I would know. lol. They have well prepared meals and their side dishes will amaze you. Simply the best in town.Kid-friendliness: What a great way to share an experience of another culture and their cuisine? Enjoy!“

“This was a surprisingly nice experience. Kind and helpful staff. Plenty of parking. Really really good food. The ambiance was a little lacking but all in all, I really liked the whole "cook your own dinner" situation. It was a cold and nasty day so warm soups and hot meats were just what the doctor ordered. The portions were generous, the bill wasn't too expensive and the food was great. I would definitely go back if I was in the mood for this kind of food. The bathrooms were less than optimal but that's how these old buildings are some of the time. The signs were still old and very much focused on Covid. Those could be updated but if you can just focus on the food, recommend them.“

“The restaurant had been redone recently, so the inside was clean and nice. Service was great and the food was delicious! Bulgolgi was like I remember it from Seattle area Asian American cuisine and the BBQ chicken was awesome. Highly recommend!“
