Moon Beach Sashimi & Grill

Came here on a weds where they have 1+1 on drinks plus free soju if you give them a 5 star review.We got combo c which was very fresh and delicious. We didn't make it to the appetizers we took them home for tomorrow.All in all everything was really fresh and the hosts are very friends and kind.Will come back with more people

Disappointed and HeartbrokenI was really upset to find out that this place serves live octopus. Octopuses are incredibly intelligent and sensitive animals--they can solve puzzles, feel pain, and even show emotions. Knowing this, it's heartbreaking to see them treated this way for the sake of a meal.There are so many ways to enjoy great food without causing harm to such amazing creatures. I truly believe we should be more mindful of where our food comes from and how it's treated.I can't support a place that profits from this kind of cruelty, and I hope others will think twice, too. We can make kinder choices that don't come at the expense of another living being.

I took my parents for dinner here this past week. My mom wanted to have live octopus and this was one of the few restaurants in Orange County that had it.The setting is nothing super-fancy, but still nice and clean. "Typical" sushi restaurant set up with a sushi bar taking up one side of the restaurant with the bar seating and the sushi chefs working behind it. The service was very good.We ordered:Live Octopus - One of my Mom's favorite foods. For those that have never had it, it's chopped up live octopus that still squirms after it's been chopped up. My Mom said it was very good.Sashimi Combo - We had the smallest combo (meant for 2-3). It comes with a lot of "extra" foods on the side (steamed egg, handrolls, salad, stews, etc.). The fish was very fresh and tasty.Sushi Nigiri Combo - 15 piece. Same as above, the fish was fresh and tasty. My one comment for improvement might be having a bit more variety.This restaurant does a great job of presenting their food in a pretty, very appetizing matter.We will definitely be back.

Everything we had here was super fresh, light, and delicious! My 2 girlfriends and I came in really hungry . We started out ordering set #3 with oysters and fresh eel. Our server actually suggested that we order set #2 which is a little smaller order and cheaper since we already had the oysters and grilled eel and thank goodness he suggested that because true to his words had we stuck with set 3 it would have been too much food! Thanks for the suggestion and honesty!Pros:All the seafood was fresh and delicious!Grilled eel was highlight of the night cause it was grilled to perfection and had a delicious, flaky, yet still bouncy chewy texture! You just have to try it to appreciate it!Service was attentive and good.Appreciated all the "compliments of the chef" extra dishes we got to try!Cons:Tempura wasn't their best, but I honestly wasn't there for their tempura but it came with our mealSet.

From start to finish, service was perfect. This was our first time eating Korean style Sashimi and it was amazing. As they say "fresher is better" we ordered the live sashimi platter, everything tasted sooooo fresh, the quality of the fish was exceptional. A must try is the fresh shrimp Sashimi and Fresh flounder!!! Delicious, perfectly paired with their dipping sauces. We also ordered the Toro!!! Now this is the Wagyu of Sashimi, this melted like butter in our mouths. Ive had Toro at other sashimi spots, High end Sashimi spots and the quality could not be matched! moon Beach has the best/ freshest quality sashimi around!

Love coming here the seafood were fresh and the service were super friendly. Nice ambiance to enjoy a nice meal.

Food was great! However, the staff needed to be more attentive. Overall good experiences! But for this price, i would love to see better decorations & ambiance.

Gave this spot a try since I saw on Instagram along with high reviews. Opted for the live sashimi set. I don't know if they had an off night but the fish was ok and there was one that was really bitter which I don't remember the name of. Service was ok and wish server gave better recommendations. I have been to a select number of sushi places and this does not make my cut considering the price and quality I received. I will not be returning

This is one of the two major Korean restaurants in the OC area. Overall, the raw fish/seafood is in good, high and clean condition.The portion of the seafood platter was small so I was hungry but the quality of the food was good.Some sashimi restaurants serve a lot of junk and the sashimi is as thin as a sheet of paper.Sushi is the best of best !!I praise the staff for being so friendly and fast. The food was all delicious and looked very good. I plan to visit again.

We came in for an early dinner a while back. This is a Korean raw seafood restaurant. Place was small and cozy. We tried one of the sashimi set menus and the varieties were impressive in large portions. Sashimi was fresh enough but some raw seafood was a bit fishy for my liking. But again I only like very few kinds of raw fish though. Overall it's a solid raw seafood restaurant. The service was very friendly and attentive. But I am not a fan of raw fish and most raw seafood so unlikely we will visit again. If you love raw seafood this is the place to try!
