Mo Ran Gak Restaurant

This place is delicious. There is a small wait time, but just hang in your car since they text you when the table is ready. BEST KOREAN FOOD!!! It's my favorite go to spot! Great quality and lots of side dishes. If this is your first time here, you won't regret it! Use this as a sign to come! 1000/10

Mo Ran GakYou truly are the stopFor all things Korean bbqYou have meat, banchan, and even stewYour service is impeccableIt truly is respectableAnd the place is nice and newSo make sure you take your booThis is their second location and it's great! Spacious, busy, and delicious. We got the special B for three people and all the meats were on point. We also got the cold noodles (both kinds) and they were solid (though the spicy noodles could have had more kick). All in all this place rates high on my list as well as the list of others given the wait.

Was worth the hour long drive for this place. The more tender and juicy meat in the mool naeng myun. The meats were so good! So delicious.

I refuse to visit socal and not eat at Mo Ran Gak. It's good every single time and i've never had a bad experience no matter when I come. Yes, it's busy constantly but it's busy for a reason. We always get a bbq combo and always leave so full and satisfied. The meat quality is so good and the beef brisket melts in your mouth- it's definitely the best i've had at any restaurant. I also highly recommend getting the cold noodles! I'm also obsessed with the rice paper side they give you which a lot of places don't give :') Make sure to end your meal with the complimentary coffee or black bean drink from the machine at the front!!Be prepared to wait. Definitely put your name on the Yelp waitlist in advance since there's usually very little seating outside of the restaurant. Parking is always near impossible but you can either find parking in nearby neighborhoods or the plaza across the street. It's popular for a reason!

The best restaurant for Korean cold noodles This is the most popular food eaten by Koreans in the summer. It is a cold mixed beef broth mixed with buckwheat and sweet potato/potato powder, and the noodles are made into a refreshing dish.Try eating cold noodles and grilled meat together. It's absolutely fantastic.The long wait is annoying, but the moment you eat the food, your mood completely improves. I always want to visit this restaurant again.These days, food prices are not cheap, so it is not easy to eat out, but it is one of the representative foods of Korea, so it is worth opening your wallet.

Went here for dinner after a day at California Adventure. We were here on a Tuesday night and didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table, but it was pretty consistently packed on a Tuesday!The service was fast and friendly. One thing I love about SoCal is the KBBQ places cook it for you on the grill at your table. Almost all places up north you have to cook yourself which can be fun, but it's so much faster when the servers cook it for you!We had the meat combo for 4 (was about $173). Not a bad deal for the amount of meat you get, and we had to take a little bit home. It comes with bone in short rib, boneless short rib, rib eye, brisket, choice of soup, steamed egg, a pancake, and all the banchan. It also comes with a salad. It's a lot of food so come hungry if you get a combo!All of the meat was delicious and tasted high quality. I also loved the variety of banchan and the side dishes that came with our combo. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town!

Best KBBQ in all of OC! Totally worth the 70-minute wait! I've been to so many KBBQ places, and this one is by far the best. I really care about portion sizes and meat quality, and this place nails both--10/10 for portion, service, and quality. I'm from NorCal, and I'm so sad we don't have a KBBQ restaurant like this up there... It was actually a lot of food for four people, but it was so good, I felt like I came out of an all-you-can-eat meal after finishing! Haha. Also, make sure to add the naengmyeon (Korean cold buckwheat noodles)--you don't need rice. The noodles and meat must be eaten together!Just remember, this place gets super busy, so be prepared for a long wait!

Affordable Wagyu meat selection, a la cart portion, not an AYCE joint. You'll get your money's worth. The banchan here do not disappoint, I always end up asking for more. My favorite here is the 평양물냉면 Pyeongyang Mul Naengmyeon ( Cold buckwheat noodle ) if you purchase the full size, you'll get a small complimentary bowl of 비빔냉면 Bibim Naengmyeon ( spicy broth less cold buckwheat noodle )on the house. Set A is usually my go-to: - brisket - 3/5 - boneless short ribs - 4/5 - rib eye steak - 5/5 - bone-in short ribs - 5/5 grab a bottle of hite or cass beer, and you're set! happy dining. p.s. my advice is if you haven't been here before, try going on a weekday, with an early dinner time, as it gets packed, despite with the new location opened up in Fullerton. The locals here love their Mo Ran Gak fixes. They used to have yelp check-in from home, but now you'll need to be there physically to waitlist check-in. Be prepared for at least 40 min to an hour wait. Parking can be limited, residential parking is allowed, but please be respectful to the residents. They used to serve bone broth... my favorite appetizer before the main entree, but they took that away. The black bean/sesame hot drink is still available! (but only after dinner, lol when the restaurant is too packed, there will be an "out of order" sign placed on the machine)

This place was very good We ordered :-BRISKET- LOVED this. So tender-MARINATED BONELESS SHORT RIB- this was very good too- NENG MYUN (cold noodle soup) - this was good- BIBIM NENG MYUN ( spicy mixed noodles) - this was too sweet for some people in my group but I loved it ) Can't was to come back

Always a lengthy wait, but well worth the delectable savories from grilled pork, chicken, and mouth-watering soft beef pieces, cooked to perfection by the friendly yet attentive staff chefs.Ensure to be on-site to add your party's name to the guestlist and don't wander too far!The interior is cozy and well-ventilated and you don't leave feeling smoky like at typical AYCE places. Pricey menu items can feel expensive but trust; it's worth it all.Can't wait to return here again soon!
