Mapo BBQ offers delicious beef, kimchi, and banchan, with a focus on quality. The menu features three combo BBQ options, ranging from $150 to $220, with the main difference being the meats and cuts included. Customers can also order a la carte. While not the cheapest Korean BBQ in town, the restaurant provides cooked meats, which many find satisfying. The combos come with salad, side dishes, and house stew, though the salad is often considered meh, and the house stew is only served when requested. The pork belly is highly praised for being thick, juicy, and well-cooked, especially when BBQ'd at the table, which enhances its flavor. The spicy seafood soup pairs well with the BBQ. The restaurant has two rooms—one for non-BBQ dining and another for BBQ—so diners should specify their preference. Staff are polite but not overly attentive and have limited English skills. Parking is available in a small lot, usually without issues, and there is no wait even on busy Friday nights. Despite its simple exterior, Mapo BBQ is known for its good-quality meats and reasonable prices, making for a satisfying dining experience.
