Moon Beach Sashimi & Grill (문 비치 활어 - 부에나팍)

Terrible experience with incredibly rude staff. They responded to my previous complaint admitting fault in the situation and I now see that they have deleted that. Talk about shady...

I love me some good seafood and was looking forward to enjoying this place! But when you're serving food, the animal should be ready to prep, not torture it inhumanely while seeing octopus bits squirming around or shrimp wriggling around. No animal deserves to suffer for our pleasure (yes, there are humane ways to get them into their permanent sleep), so this place will be a no go again!

It’s just messed up they serve live animals. I’m not vegan, but have some mercy on the poor damn creatures. I just wish animals were treated better before we eat them

I recently visited this restaurant that serves live animals, and I was absolutely shocked to find out it’s legal. It’s hard to understand why this practice is still allowed or necessary. I can’t help but question why we need to treat animals in such a way for the sake of dining. Needless to say, I won’t be coming back.

Came here last month and the staff was less than friendly…. felt like they weren't genuinely interested in making the experience enjoyable. It wasn’t worth the price at all and I left feeling like I’d overpaid. Honestly wish I had gone somewhere else!

One thing that caught my attention too was that the restaurant seems to always be hiring, with ads popping up regularly on their website. This constant turnover suggests poor management, which likely contributes to the lackluster service I experienced.

Overall, it’s a place I won’t be returning to, and I can’t recommend it based on my visit.

I recently had a truly unsettling experience at this restaurant, and I feel compelled to share it. I was curious to try this place out but when I arrived and sat down for dinner, I was horrified to learn that they serve live animals. The concept, which was completely new to me, involves presenting live creatures as part of the dining experience—animals that are prepared and served while still alive. I can't begin to describe how deeply disturbed and uncomfortable I felt seeing this in person.

As soon as I realized what was happening, I had to leave. It was impossible for me to stay and enjoy the meal knowing the cruelty involved. I left feeling a mix of sadness and anger, not just for the animals, but for the fact that this is happening in California, a state that prides itself on being progressive and humane.

I genuinely hope that someone helps soon to put an end to this. No animal should have to suffer in this way for the sake of entertainment or dining. I won’t be returning, and I encourage others to be aware of what’s happening here. It’s not only shocking but heartbreaking, and I sincerely hope this restaurant is held accountable for their actions.

After my recent visit I called and asked to speak with the manager. I politely expressed my concerns and they literally hung up on me! I don’t know how this place is still in business… it’s actually shocking. Do your research and read the other negative reviews. There’s clearly something going on here and I just wish I knew sooner.

Personally would not recommend this restaurant. I’m a little disappointed in their live seafood practice.

This is one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been too.

I had an absolutely horrible experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, there was a strong, unpleasant odor that made the entire place feel unclean. The floors were sticky, the tables looked like they hadn’t been properly wiped down, and the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting—filthy stalls, overflowing trash, and a smell that suggested they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks.

Unfortunately, the food was even worse. Both my wife and I became violently ill after eating here—worse than we’ve ever felt in our lives. Clearly, there are serious food safety and hygiene issues going on in this kitchen. The food tasted off, and in hindsight, we should have trusted our instincts and left.

To make matters worse, the staff was incredibly rude and condescending. When we politely expressed our concerns about the food, they brushed us off with an attitude, as if we were the problem. No apology, no willingness to make things right—just dismissiveness and disrespect.

I would strongly advise anyone to stay far away from this place. Between the filthy conditions, terrible service, and food that made us horribly sick, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had.

Disgusting food! Yuck!

Don’t get the set menu. I’ve ordered 4people food, set B with extra uni total of $377 but actually for 3people. 2 short korean females and one male. Wasn’t enough food. Just order everything separately. The sides that come with tempuras arent really worth it.
