I really appreciate all your help; thank you for making everything so easy!“

“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“

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

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“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“

“Best priced KBBQ in OC as of 2026. This is the ONLY place I know of where they allow you to pay a set price regardless of what time of day or what day or the week it is. The owner is fantastic and personally checks in on you. The meat is always fresh, delicious and generously portioned. They switch around the banchan and there kpop and soju everywhere. The service is fast, friendly and it feels like ajumma worried you're not eating enough. Parking can be a little tough and lines can long during weekend dinners. Also be aware that they only accept solo diners between Monday-Thursday from 11-4.“

“Excellent service and food“

“I really enjoyed the food here because there are a lot of vegetable variety. The food and service was very quick and delicious. The pork belly here is a must order. Renee did a great job walking us through the menu and made sure everything was timely.“

“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.“

“Aaron and Vicky were the best. Vicky was so quick on bringing our orders out. Aaron explained everything as if he was the chef himself. I would believe it if this restaurant would be owned by them.

The food is the most delicious. $39 for all you can eat. It gave us favorable ribs and bulgogi. Those were our favorite.

We had the order rice paper, tortilla, and salsa constantly since we were with Mexicans. They totally understand their customer. Worth thr drive for quality.

I was able to enjoy my squid cut up by small. Constant grill change. It was impressive.

Plenty of space for a family reunion.“

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

“Voted North OC’s favorite neighborhood Korean spot for decades, we are at Soy Tofu in La Palma. Yes, that one Korean restaurant next to Han Nam Chain aka Super1 in La Palma, CA. It feels like a secret because it’s as cozy and comforting as grandma’s house. This is a spot where everyone goes to for Sundubu (Korean Spicy Tofu Soup served boiling hot), or if they want Naengmyeon (Korean Buckwheat Noodles in a icy tangy broth) on hot summer day, or Bibimbap (Stone-pot Korean mixed rice filled with vegetables and meat with a spicy gochujang sauce and sesame oil)—just something comforting, and what they’re used to. This place has been there forever, and it’s under the same owner who wants to spoil us with her Korean recipes. Beyond the great service, delicious made in house banchan aka Korean sides , fresh ingredients and all the menu favorites, you can scoop your own free ice cream in a cone! I recommend Soy Tofu as a solid spot for anyone who is new or super critical about Korean food. It’s a guaranteed delicious spot.“

“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!“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“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!“

“Love the authenticity of this place! Definitely would recommend to everyone! Bring a group and enjoy the experience of authentic korean cuisine. Daniel is legit! He really brings out the light in this place and his positivity and passion is astounding!“

“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.“

“Found a treasure. This place is 10/10. By far the best kbbq place I've been too. The employees are so welcoming and sweet. I love the ability to order by phone, such a cool thing. It's so convenient and efficient. Everything is top notch. I live in the Antelope Valley, but you best believe I'm stopping every single time I go down to Artesia“

“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.“

“The place is small and a little old, but it’s pretty well known around OC for Korean BBQ ribs. The prices are a little high, but the food is really good. Both the beef short ribs and pork ribs have great flavor without being too heavy, and you can really taste the meat. The side dishes are simple but good, and I especially liked the seasoned minari. It goes really well with the meat. Not a fancy place, but I’d definitely come back for the ribs.“

“Came here for dinner time during Christmas week with my family. We were a group of 10 and we came right at peak dinner time, which honestly sounds like a terrible idea but thankfully they were able to sit us within 40 minutes. We were sat at two tables and had a burner each. The service was great, especially with how busy they were that night. The KBBQ was super yummy and I especially loved the steamed egg, I ordered two total. The house salad was so so good- I wish someone would tell me the recipe (pls) because I ate the whole bowl. The meat came out at a decent time and I enjoyed sides. They also offered buldak ramen, which my younger cousins enjoyed- so I’m sure other parents or family members may wonder what else kids may enjoy here. I will definitely be back!“

“The side dishes and giblets seasoning were so delicious, and the unglazed cuts were easy to eat, and the water sashimi was also a delicacy.“

“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.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

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

“First time there was today. The portions were good size, and the food was delicious. The waitresses, that waited on us were very polite and asked us every few minutes If we needed anything. My son also liked the cuts of the meats and the sauces were very good along with all the sides. We will definitely be going back again. Also, for desert ice cream. Yum.“

“My family was the first to have dinner in this Korean BBQ restaurant. Their beef brisket, belly and bulgogi are absolutely delicious.Fresh, tender, and full of flavor. And the friendly staff are another big reason I will return and introduce it to my friends. They are friendly, fast and attentive!“

“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“

“The best KBBQ I’ve tried in years!!
