About Mokkoji

Mokkoji is a restaurant with locations in Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, and Irvine, known for its rich and well-flavored broth and fresh, well-prepared meats. The vegetables are colorful and organized, and the sides add a nice touch without being overpowering. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

During a recent weekday lunch, the restaurant was not very crowded, with plenty of seating available. The customer service was good and the food was described as tasty, although on the pricier side. The 10-piece brisket costs $27, and the dinner for two, which includes two alcoholic drinks, starts around $79.

The food is served quickly, and the brisket was tender. Unlimited rice, kale, Napa, and spinach veggies are available. The staff is attentive and the tofu is stamped with the restaurant's name.

For first-time visitors, it may take some time to get the hang of the cooking process and it is recommended to avoid overcrowding the pot with vegetables. The spicy broth lacked flavor, but the chicken broth was enjoyed more. A small slotted ladle would be helpful for fishing out the food while the broth is boiling.
