“Excellent service and food“

“The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! Our server Jack was great and the service was genuinely 10/10. We had such a great time from start to finish. I came from out of town and it was absolutely worth the trip. I would highly recommend Mo Ran Gak and would definitely come back!“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“Delectable though a bit pricey $$$ for lunch“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“reasonable price for all u can eat.
great food, great services.
why not try!
I have been eating here so many times already. Will be back whenever we have birthdays, anniversary parties, friends gathering for Christmas or new years...“

“came in expecting a regular kbbq joint, maybe a little nicer than others since they grill for you. but came away having eaten an unexpected tasting menu with an elegant vibe (soft jazz?).

charcoal grill. unlimited hot tea. marinated short rib was the best of the two meats we chose from the beef course.“

“Soooooooo hot lol…

They said the air conditioning was running at full capacity, but it was so hot that I felt like I took a shower in sweat at a barbecue restaurant for the first time. I think you absolutely shouldn't come here in the summer. The elderly and young children, in particular, need to be careful because of the heat.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

As for this Canadian traveller from Vancouver BC, what’s a west coast party without K-BBQ?!
It’s definitely delicious here. The ingredients are fresh. The service is good. Prices are higher for the Canadian tourists because of the conversion rate. But the hospitality is cozy here. The experience is good. Highly recommended 👌.“

“I came here with family because it was recommended by someone else, and I'm glad I tried it out.

It was a very chill place with quick, attentive service. The self service bar is a smart idea, because you only take what you need. I especially enjoyed the wagyu beef and bulgogi!“

“Very good 🥩 steak. Will come here again ❤️“

“Wow, why did I wait so long to come here?

We tried all five meat selections, and the salad bar had so many options—everything was fresh and delicious. Lunch also included one ice cream bar per person and coffee.

For only $29.99 per person, it felt like an incredible value. The servers were also incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Great food, great service, and a fantastic lunch deal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“i like the food, big serving & it’s worth the price, i hope they willnot increase the price or lessen the service.“

“Such a nice family owned establishment! The food was so tasty, and the woman at the counter was the absolute kindest most hospitable lady! We ordered the pork belly fries and chicken quesadilla, both were 10/10 and left us satisfied. Huge portions full with lots of meat left us full and needing a Togo box. 100% a business I want to support! Highly recommend“

“Great Korean BBQ and excellent service! The staff was attentive and took great care of us. The pork belly, beef brisket, bean sprouts, and kimchi were all delicious, and the complimentary kimchi fried rice was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“Such a fun place for Korean BBQ! We ordered a variety of meats, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The beef was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly on the grill. I really enjoyed having kimchi, vegetables, and bean sprouts grilled alongside the meat. The side dishes were also delicious and complemented the meal very well. Service was quick and attentive, and the restaurant had a nice energetic atmosphere. It was a great dining experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“Really enjoyed our dinner at Marble. My friend and I ordered the Wagyu steak and short ribs, and both were so good. The meat was really well marbled, juicy, and had great flavor.

They also have someone grilling the meat tableside, which made everything super easy. We didn’t have to worry about overcooking anything.

The banchan was generous, and the corn salad and bibimbap were probably my favorites. The steamed egg and soup at the end were a nice touch too.

The location in Woodbury is convenient, and parking was easy. It’s on the pricier side, but the meat quality was definitely there. We left very full and happy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving Korean BBQ in Irvine.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye“

“A few things I love about this place:
1. Ample parking
2. Self-serve marinated meats and select sides
3. Tender meats

I don't have the patience to find parking or to wait around for service, so I loved being able to grab stuff myself (including rice). Staff was kind and food was great! Loved the short ribs, beef tongue, and marinated meats!“

“I went to another KBBQ spot down the street and noticed it was not AYCE so I called this place and because we had a huge party, they had no problem setting up the table for us before we got there. I really appreciate the staff being so nice to us and having everything ready for us! 10/10 for the service. As for the food, side dishes are amazing and the kimchi was so fresh mmm! I loved the meat selections that they had to offer and the bangchan side dishes. I appreciate the atmosphere and the vibe too, I feel like more common kbbq spots have minimal lighting in the restaurant but this one was perfect!! I could see all my friends! Left with a full stomach! will definitely come here again!“

“Quality meat that’s not frozen. Good ventilation. Prompt service.“

“Nice place to hang out with friends“

“Ricky, thank you so much for patiently answering all my questions and for making the setup for my big party such a smooth and enjoyable experience. Your professionalism, efficiency, knowledge, and great sense of humor truly stand out. Your friendly and excellent service certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. I really appreciate all your help; thank you for making everything so easy!“

“Excellent restaurant ,meats seasoned to authentic Korean flavor and great service ask for Megan and she will make you feel welcome and appreciated. And if you’re new to the experience she will show you the experience of cooking on your own table…very good food,cheers“

“I went there with my daughter she's been there before it was my first time. But it was great the food and prices was decent compared to other places I will definitely go back don't let the entrance fool you that place is big lots of room to sit. Love this place“
