All the food was fantastic and the server was excellent. He grilled perfectly and shared insights about Colombia for us while we waited.
MOA is our go to for special occasions or date nights - an upscale yet accessible experience with fantastic food and top tier service
The food was delicious. The manager and hostess were very professional and accommodating. Our server was pleasant however not very aware. My son and daughter in law have had her as a server on a previous visit and were not impressed. We were celebrating my son's birthday. I purchased a gift box upon arrival and asked that it be brought to him as a gift with the dessert. She brought the food cart when he and his family were away from the table to take pictures. When we were finished eating, she asked if I wanted the gift box now, ruining the presentation and then brought his birthday dessert with a beautiful lit candle when his wife and daughter were away from the table. We appreciated that the manager apologized and gave us anther candle so that his daughter could participate. We would probably return but would not want the same server.
Food choices were great. Portions were large (beware). Menu can be intimidating but the server was most helpful.
Services good but the bbq is okay. Meat is blend and hot dishes are not having enough taste. I have lot of leftover.
We arrived late but the attendant was very welcoming about it. The food was impressive drinks not bad you get exactly what you as first. I was impressed with the calamari breading, well seasoned and tasty! I ordered the short ribs and it didn't disappoint.
Great experience food service ambience I recommend it for dating family reunion even business. Food meats are great kimchi was great!!!!!!
Great experience! The service was phenomenal will be back for sure! Our server Alex was amazing! And very polite.
I made a reservation online for a 5:30 PM Mother's Day meal with my family. The restaurant wasn't particularly crowded at that time, so it was pretty quiet. (I have limited hearing so that was nice.) The server was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We had lots of sides and several types of beef and Tiger prawns. We ended up getting dessert as well. That was equally delicious! We have visited this restaurant before, so we knew it would be great. The staff/ owners are always very attentive and friendly. The quality of the food and the whole experience is always top notch!
We had the absolute best experience Saturday evening! It was packed – University of South Carolina graduation (and prom and Mother's Day weekend). Our server - Alex - was fantastic. She made the night so fun. The food was amazing. None of us had ever experience Korean barbecue before we chose the cook at the table option and it made for such a great night. Highly recommend. Huge kudos to Alex!

The attentive servers and our ability to enjoy a celebratory meal without having to shout across the table made this a very enjoyable experience. We were seated early for our reservation, and the staff were patient with our first-time patron questions. It is certainly a place we'll look to again
From the moment we arrived & saw the beautiful space, menu & then service, we were very pleased. The food was excellent!
Food was great, however the experience was pretty poor overall. Our service was slow and our server would hardly check in on us. After we had food delivered to our table we sat there waiting for 15 mins for our server to come back and tell us he would cook it. He forgot our drinks and I couldn't even order more because he would leave before anyone could ask anything. They also forgot my cousins food and then brought the wrong item out another 15 mins later. Overall a very frustrating experience considering we had to pay auto gratuity of 20% for an expensive meal. As a server myself I would not have left a great tip based on our servers attitude, and lack of care. Our server clearly checked out the minute he knew he wouldn't have to work for his tip.
Amazing food and drinks - loved the cooked to order option which I haven't seen in a Korean BBQ place yet!
I took my daughter and SIL for my SIL's Birthday dinner and was very happy we chose MOA. It was a great dining experience and the food so delicious. The meats so tender, flavorful and cooked just as we asked. Our server was very friendly, helpful and attentive. It was a very busy night due to the Women's final basketball game and our server and manager were very concerned about length of time of the progression of our meal. We appreciated this but honestly we enjoyed the time together and the pace of our meal. Oh and such a fun Birthday dessert surprise ( not the actual one because of a nut allergy but the candle! ) We highly recommend and would definitely return. h
