Upscale AYCE Korean BBQ with premium cuts, buffet, and modern vibe
"AYCE Korean BBQ can mean chewy brisket and one grill change if you’re lucky. But Moohan in Koreatown is easily one of the best options in LA for unlimited grilled meat. Prices start at $40, and there’s a $60 tier if you want premium cuts, like marinated short rib and rib finger. Both include access to a surprisingly solid hot bar stocked with wings, sweet and sour pork, dumplings, and tteokbokki. The grilling is DIY, but staff swaps out the grates regularly, and there’s enough seating here to host a corporate retreat. $40 per person, $60 per person for premium cuts" - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
"AYCE Korean barbecue usually means tough meats and one grill change if you’re lucky. But Moohan raises the bar, and it’s our favorite AYCE spot in Koreatown, with solid meats, a great hot bar, and enough seating for a corporate retreat. There are two tiers—$40 and $60—with the pricier option unlocking premium cuts like short rib, top blade, and rib finger. Most grilling is DIY, but the staff swaps out the grill often. The marinated cuts are the best of the bunch, so prioritize those and order some soju cocktails, too." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"AYCE Korean barbecue can often mean tough meats and one grill change if you’re lucky. But Moohan, our favorite AYCE spot in Koreatown, raises the bar. They offer two price tiers—$40 or $60 per person, both of which include a long list of solid-quality meats, plus access to a surprisingly great hot bar with crunchy fried snacks and Korean street foods like wings, sweet and sour pork, dumplings, and spicy rice cakes. Most of the grilling is DIY, but staff swings by frequently to swap out your grill before you have a chance to ask. As is often the case at AYCE, the marinated meats are the best of the bunch, and the more expensive tier is worth it for premium cuts like short rib, top blade, and rib finger. The bright, modern space has enough seating to host a corporate retreat, which means you can show up on any given night with a big group of hungry friends, order a round of soju cocktails, and prepare for your clothes and hair to smell like smoke for the rest of the night. photo credit: Wonho Frank Lee photo credit: Moohan Korean BBQ photo credit: Moohan Korean BBQ Pause Unmute" - Cathy Park
"Moohan is an upscale all-you-can-eat KBBQ spot from the Quarters people that offers set menus with unlimited premium cuts. There’s a $90 eight-course wagyu menu if you want to ball out, but otherwise sets range from $35 to $57 and include KBBQ standards like pork belly, beef brisket, and galbi, plus a few interesting marinated cuts like miso yuzu flat iron. Unlimited appetizers and banchan can be found at the buffet. " - sylvio martins
"I see Moohan as an upscale all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue in the former Gwang Yang BBQ space that focuses on strictly premium cuts — pork belly, beef brisket, New York steak, and rib-eye — and even offers an A5 wagyu omakase option. Positioning itself to redefine the all-you-can-eat scene, the On6thAvenue-backed spot provides multiple tiers of set meals starting at $34.99 and rising to $89.99 for the wagyu omakase with unlimited meats. In addition to large quantities of high-quality meat, Moohan serves an unlimited buffet of Korean sides and banchan, including japchae, tteokbokki, kimchi gimbap, house-made kimchi, and cucumber salad, plus stone pot bibimbap, spicy tofu soup, and Buldak ramen with cheese torched tableside. Drink options include soju cocktails and specialty bottles like Yangchon Chungju, as well as beer and wine. Inspired by Seoul’s late-night energy, owner Chris Lee and his team designed a futuristic, upscale-steakhouse interior with clean lines and dark colors to bring this concept to Los Angeles." - Rebecca Roland
