This was such a treat! Mother-daughter date night here! Servers were really helpful and pleasant. Food was great though much of that was because of the spicy sauce which I put on everything! They didn't bring enough to the table. Ate so much, didn't have room for dessert. Definitely recommend going there.

worst service ever, after I was seated, the staff at the front desk completely forgot about me. I waited at least ten minutes, and no one brought me a menu. When I initially raised this issue with the manager, not only did they give me an attitude, but they also did not apologize. It was only after I specifically requested an apology that they finally apologized. When serving the dishes, they were very rough in their movements. This restaurant shows extremely poor standards in service quality.

We’ve been to this restaurant in the past, back when they had sushi on the menu. We loved everything about it back then. We visited recently, and unfortunately won’t be coming back again. We came for the kbbq (on the left side of the restaurant). There weren’t too many people sitting around and I don’t remember if music was playing, but it was peaceful where we were seated, and could easily have a conversation. We picked “Option B” on the menu. We didn’t know that they didn’t have any Yam or Onion left when we picked the option until later (the server didn’t tell us). The servers kept conveniently forgetting to bring the meat and sides that we ordered. On our first round we said, “everything except the chicken”, and they didn’t bring out the shrimp or squid until we had to remind them on the second round. We had to ask a server to change our grill which is something that they were supposed to do once or twice during the meal, but we got some attitude from the server (a huge sigh and a wave of his hand to cut us off before leaving) and had to wait another while before our grill was changed. I believe they were starting to get upset when we ordered our third round of fried tofu (four pieces each order). A lot of time was wasted on waiting, that was for sure. We had empty plates and empty grills for some time, waiting for meat, a grill change, or sides.. For a restaurant that wasn’t too busy, the servers hardly ever came around, and when they did, they were rushing to leave. There were a few times during our meal where we were asking them for meat, and they’d leave to get it before we even finished our order - in the middle of speaking. The marinades on the food were really mediocre. They used to be really flavourful, but now it’s almost too plain. The short ribs were really tough and we had to fight to rip them off the bone. The only good thing we had was the marinated spicy pork.

I absolutely love this place! We’ve been dining at Mu Goong Hwa for 11 years, always ordering the same thing. Even though we moved away, we recently decided to visit some of our old haunts, and Mu Goong Hwa did not disappoint! The yaki mandu and tteokbokki were the perfect starters, accompanied by the usual complimentary sides (miso soup, kimchi, etc.). My partner and I always get two orders of bulgogi with extra rice for me (of course), and my best friend sticks with the bibimbap. It was such a great experience coming back —now I’m craving it all over again!

Food was very good, meat was very well seasoned and waiter was very nice to us. The waiter even got us sauce without us asking because he heard us saying that we like it. One of the best K bbq I tried so far.

We ordered a few times before, the galbi is overcooked. I can’t even swallow the meat. Today I ordered the spicy chicken, same problem. Too tough to chew!! These chicken are hard as stone. I don’t get why these are so expensive. I spend $40 to get these …. So disappointing! Never purchase again! The seafood tofu soup is normal, but too many onions, like half of the soup is onion. The seafood in it is low quality, taste bad.

Has the boss changed? I visited after seeing good reviews, but I felt like my trip was ruined. Red pepper powder in the water container. The water smelled like kimchi so much that they replaced it with other water, but the water still smelled like kimchi and I couldn't drink it at all. There were a lot of people in the group, and there were a lot of cups with red pepper powder on them. I don't know about the stir-fried food, but I couldn't eat the soup at all and left it as is. The fishy smell of the galbitang was so bad that I couldn't eat it. The soft tofu type tasted like just red pepper powder added to water. hygiene. The overall taste was disappointing.
worst restaurant,If is possible, I want to give them minus ten stars .don't recommend

Four of us came here for dinner, specifically for bibinbap, as we were told it was very good here. It didn't disappoint. Two had the vegetable, and two had bulgogi beef. We all enjoyed it. The bibinbap came hot and sizzling like it should. The staff working there were very attentive
