This is a super lowkey Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat spot — definitely a small hole-in-the-wall vibe with its own tiny lot, but there’s plenty of free street parking nearby. It’s not the most upscale place, but it has a lot of character. The boss and staff are incredibly sweet and attentive, which makes the experience even better.
I usually start with the brisket, add the soybean soup and steamed egg, get free refills on the banchan (side dishes), try a few different meats, and then finish with the scorched rice to cleanse my palate.
The only downside? The air circulation here isn’t great, so you’ll definitely leave smelling like BBQ and feeling a little oily from the smoke — but honestly, that’s part of the charm for some people.

It's a nice cozy place! The menu is easy to understand! They are helpful, attentive! It was our first time at this location. We were sat right down, no wait at the evening time we went. We were full when we left. We'd return if we were in the area. The meat was tenderrrr

The protein here is really tasty compared to other spots. It’s also air-conditioned, which is a nice bonus. The portions aren’t huge like at Gen, so you might find yourself ordering more dishes to fill up. But the upside to smaller portions is definitely the higher quality. Maybe there’s some psychology at play too—since you get less food, you end up savoring it more and spending more time enjoying your meal lol.

This is the worst AYCE Korean BBQ I’ve ever experienced. Their **stingy cost-cutting tactics** ruin the dining experience—limiting how often you can order the same item, slicing the meat so thin that it burns almost instantly, and doing everything possible to avoid letting customers get their money’s worth.
The **service is just as bad**. Servers ignore requests, making it a struggle to order more food. They rush you to pay **before your two-hour time limit is even up**, as if they’re eager to push customers out rather than provide a decent dining experience.
At **$35 per person**, the quality and service don’t come close to justifying the price. Instead of wasting money here, I’d rather spend an extra **$10 at Gen KBBQ**, where the meat is high quality, the service is smooth, and I can actually enjoy my meal without chasing down staff or sitting in an uncomfortable, cramped space.
If you want **a hassle-free KBBQ experience with quality meat and decent service, avoid this place.**

Extremely friendly staff with quick efficient service. Yummy meats. They hit the spot when you're craving AYCE KKBBQ.
Dark and moody, very loud.
Literally cooks the food for you .. Christine ask for she's amazing
Moom BBQ is an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbecue place! My favorite cut of meat was the spicy pork belly, and my friends favorite was the marinated beef short ribs. The spicy pork belly was tender, sweet, slightly savory, and covered with a spiciness that was perfect with their jiggly, airy, honestly one of the best AYCE steamed eggs I've tried. The short ribs were marinated perfectly and even if slightly overcooked it was extremely tender, smokey, sweet and delicious, my friends absolutely loved this cut of meat and it's no wonder that it is limited to one per person. And I rarely compliment service like this but Moon BBQ had the most attentive and frequent service I've ever had, we probably had around 25 grill changes without asking, and our rotation of waiters would always unexpectedly come to help cut and cook our meats! (Truly thank you so much! We three boys were too scared of the barbeque fires ?) Overall Moon BBQ's service was unexpectedly amazing, their marinades are super delicious, and the next time I come I will certainly eat to my heart's desire!

A very authentic Korean bbq in Gardena, from the setting to the all you can eat menu.
The food is delicious and the service is excellent.
Every time I come to this place I leave very happy! ?

From the many options in the City of Torrance for Korean BBQ, a trip north on Western to Moon BBQ is always a great choice, as well as Shilla and the other great Asian restaurants in Gardena et al. The Staff is amazing and the value is extremely hard to beat anywhere else unless you are outside the U.S.A. In South Bay, for accessible and affordable. They have an A and B option. You can't go wrong with either one. I recommend you find street parking. Enjoy!

Great customer service, yet the food was garbage ?️. To expensive, I'd rather go to furusato, you pay less, and the food quality is amazing.
