I’ve been four times now and every time has been a phenomenal experience! Tons of incredible options for all you can eat BBQ. I end up eating so much I become unsure if I’d make it out of the booth! I highly recommend the spicy brisket and beef tongue. Make sure to pace yourself if you come. 1000 times over I recommend Mosu!!

We visited Mosu Korean Grill yesterday to celebrate my brother’s birthday, and everything was amazing! We were a group of four and chose the all-you-can-eat option. As soon as we sat down, the waitress kindly asked if we were celebrating anything, and I mentioned it was my brother’s birthday. Later on, she surprised us by bringing out a small cake with a candle for him — such a thoughtful and sweet gesture! The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was fun and comfortable — perfect for a casual celebration. We all had a great time and truly appreciated the extra effort the staff made to make the evening special. Highly recommend Mosu for great food and even better hospitality!

Been here two times. Once with a big group and another time with just two people. Food was good on both occasions. We had a group of 8 that shared two grills, which wasn’t nearly enough. We had to wait and take turns eating because the grill couldn’t fit much food. One grill between two people was perfect. The grills do get charred quite easily so if you don’t get the grill replaced your meat will burn very quickly. My favorite was the marinated short ribs. For dessert, we really liked the mint chocolate chip ice cream and Creme brûlée. The base price for all you can eat BBQ was $55 per person. After tax and tip we ended up paying about ~$70 ish per person. It’s on the pricey side but worth a splurge to celebrate a special occasion.

The food is great, the service is wonderful, and the restaurant is gorgeous. We had four people and ate for $118. Consider how much you really want to eat before you go and are offered the all you can eat or ala carte version. Drinks aren’t expensive and sauces and herbs are free.

Love this place! Best Japanese BBQ here in upstate New York. Staff very friendly and nice, definitely recommend this place 11/10 experience!

A definite must try! The environment is very modern and clean. The food was delicious as well from the lamb, shrimp, salmon, beef and veggies. You cook it all yourself. It’s $55 per person all you can eat not including some specialty meats and alcoholic beverages. They were very helpful and very nice. Even for first timers. Great way to try more stuff on the menu! Great experience.

My daughter hosted part of her wedding celebration here, and the experience was so great that we decided to have my son’s graduation party here as well. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the communication while planning the event was seamless. Khalil Shabib, the manager, was organized and outstanding throughout the process. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

First time at MOSU since I moved to the area two years ago and OMG! I’m stunned at how delicious it was. Had the all you can eat BBQ and it is worth every penny. The Montreal sirloin steak and spicy brisket were my fav. The S’mores were the cherry on top of the cake. Really enjoyed it here and will probably be back to try the other meats on the menu.

Hungry hippos of the 518 at all you can eat hot pot. One of our best experiences yet. Service: 4/5. Staff is super attentive and kind. There were a couple of mishaps, none of which ruined the experience though. First off, a trainee brought us a different table's order. This might sound disappointing, but some of the hippos got to try kimchi for the first time because of it. For the duration of the visit you order from a tablet, which went smooth except one forgotten order. Not a big deal though, we just ordered it again. Broth was refilled while we ate. Atmosphere: 5/5. The restaurant is extremely beautiful. Great natural lighting. Perfect lunch or dinner vibes- friends, family, or bae. Bathrooms are clean, roomy, and have 2 ply TP. Food: 5/5. Great deal for AYCE. Everything we ordered tasted great. Very accommodating to allergies. Overall a fun experience to try different things. Overall, we will be returning. Maybe next time trying the BBQ. -The Hungry Hippos

Usually an Asian Fusion restaurant can replace decent Asian dishes that attract regular patrons. This place could not make a Seafood Pajeon (pancake) with decent amount of seafood ingredients and they charge you $17 for that terrible dough. Most patrons inside choose Korean BBQ or hot pot options. So, maybe it is not so bad.

Atmosphere is cute service was friendly and nice. Food was ok. It just wasn't worth the price and to cook stuff myself. When it came to the stove they didn't turn it on for a bit we had to ask them back so we could get to work haha but that wasn't a huge deal. It's just a one and done place for me

Solid Kbbq AYCE option in the area. 55 is a bit steep but it's one of the only places in the area with kbbq. There's a good spread of meat cuts available and premade appetizers. Soft drinks and dessert (a variety of ice cream, smores, and creme brulee) are also included. There's a 2hr maximum per table which is more than enough time. They also offer an a la carte menu and a hotpot option as well. Been to Mosu often and the service is always great, servers are attentative and kind. The restaurant is a bit more sophisticated ambiance wise. It's dim light so it could be used for a special occassion but plenty of people use it as a casual joint as well.

So fun! You order your food, you cook your food. So many delicious choices! This was my first time here and what a great experience. We did make reservations. We ordered appetizers that come already cooked and then our menu choices of steak and salmon and vegetables. Delicious and you cook it the way you like it!

Second time here... and WOW it was better than the first time which we can't believe because the first visit was AMAZING! So you can count on consistency at those restaurant for quality, service and delicious food and drinks! We live a couple hours away and made it so our relaxing getaway included an early dinner at MOSU! Made reservations for 1:30pm and were a little early they could seat us and our hostess and server were top notch! Fast amazing service and again our server was so friendly funny and awesome! Drinks from the bar delicious!! I don't understand why anyone would go elsewhere! Clean fun restaurant and how other restaurants should be run!

Food was mediocre at best. Appetizers were like Chinese buffet food. $50 per person was excessive for the quality of food. The fried scallops were like those fake toilet paper roll scallops, IYKYK. If you've ever had real Korean food, you know this stuff is not it. Service was good, ambience was nice. Just disappointed in the food.

I was at Mosu for a birthday dinner hot pot celebration and reservations were easily made online on their website. If you are anything like me, you will appreciate how user friendly their website is and it will give you a glimpse of what is on their menu. Options are endless as they also have Asian barbecue as well which I equate to a do it yourself hibachi. An important thing to note is that if you are there for lunch you have the option to order from either their all you can eat lunch menu, their more expansive dinner menu (also all you can eat) or from their a la carte menu. I think this is really great, especially for those who are looking to try something new but are not big eaters and want to keep within their budget. The ambiance is modern and clean with a really fun vibe. You can tell that the place is kept immaculate and everything served is brought to you fresh and with attention to detail. There's an iPad at the table where you simply select your drinks, and appetizers as well as your entree choices. The staff is friendly and very attentive and will patiently explain everything to you. I really enjoyed all the options available and included in the per person cost. You also have choices to add on many many more extras and skies the limit! During this visit we chose two hot pot soup options, bone broth as well as miso soup. It most certainly did not disappoint and the broths were delicious! We had a good amount of proteins and seafood along with lots of different vegetables as well as noodles. I assure you that there is most definitely something for everyone no matter the craving. I highly recommend Mosu as a must try!

Here's my beef. You have to pick hot pot or BBQ and that's a huge fail. As a lover of hotpot/BBQ's, it makes no sense to have one or the other. We settled on hotpot and the Szechuan and tom yum were both excellent and the broth was refilled by the terrific server. Service itself was an A+. Second major issue is there's no pork belly which is a MANDATORY item to try. The pork loin was sliced too thick. Third issue is there's no sauce bar where you can let your creativity flow! Let the inner scientist bloom. They give you three sauces. All kind of meh. These are likely three things novices might not know, but IYKYK. I saw some complaints about price, but $50 is fair for AYCE. Crème brûlée was missing vanilla which basically is the most essential ingredient. Tips for newbies: the Napa cabbage and soft tofu are must haves. Start with beef, go to pork, and then the seafood. But tbh, I would skip it because it wasn't great. But my point is seafood alters the flavor of the broth in a way that negatively impacts the beef. Don't eat rice. Avoid the noodles unless you have a big appetite. They're delicious, but also quite filling. Tip your servers in cash. You'll go throw A LOT of dishes. And lastly, order LOTS of SOJU. Will go back for the bbq and re-review, but if KPot opens soon, it's a no-brainer where you'll find me because not having both options is a huge issue.

A little bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. Quality and atmosphere is excellent for Wolf Rd. Five stars for the service, four stars for the price.

Ok so what was that boneless lamb? Got one order of it and couldn't even eat more than one piece. Basically inedible. Don't try. Even the waiter said they didn't care for it. Everything else was great especially the short rib but just the taste of the lamb makes me take off 2 stars. Yes...it was that bad.

Ella M.

Yelp
This place was AWFUL. The food was disgusting (we got hotpot), they barely have any sauces, the service didn't align with the food, just the ambience. The place was beautiful and the service was good, just to be served AWFUL food. I would choose Volcano BBQ& Hot Pot over Mosu every single time. This place is a great example of what happens when a cuisine is colonized and reconstructed to be more appealing with white people. Extremely inauthentic.

4.5 stars. Found a nice Korean AYCE In Albany. Open fire so no smoke from the grill and they change it regularly. The exhaust goes through the side of the fire so nothing hanging over head and you won't be smoked out. Portions are small so if you order from the tablet, make note it's a serving for 1 person. Some meats were seasoned well and we loved the lamb chops. Now that's a big plus, never had that in a Korean BBQ. I took off half a point coz the banchans were not that great, it could be better. Their dipping sauces are different so I had to ask for sesame oil and salt. Unfortunately they don't have crystal salts so I had to mix the oil with table salt. You can also do soup at this place along with the BBQ, aka K-pot. As you can see the place is clean and beautiful. Would definitely go back here again with my coarse salt

I've come here quite a few times and each time I feel my money is left well spent. The vibe inside is comfortable and you really feel like you can relax, talk and eat. I love being able to be in charge of when and what I order when I feel ready. Their food is absolutely delicious. I love their sauce trio for their bbq side, as well as the dessert. The crème brûlée is otherworldly. There's a 2 limit order per person and thank god because I'd eat them out of it. Everything comes out in a timely manner once ordered on the iPad. I've also done the hotpot once and that was a great experience and I think my favorite side just because there is more veggie options and I love veggies in the hotpot broth. The only downside is there are so many different meats I'd love to give a try because I've never had before but the portion for the meats are huge and you have to finish everything to not get charged for it. I couldn't normally eat that much of any meat so it was a bit disappointing that they don't have a sampler or size change like (just trying!) so you can get a piece each. Other than that I have my tried and trues I love ordering so that doesn't deter me in the slightest! I definitely recommend this place for date nights, special occasions. This place really brings the vibe!

3rd time back here and still love it for special occasion meals! I do miss the pickled daikon as it wasn't on the menu this time around. Lovely ambiance, always friendly staff and fun to feel like it's an event in addition to dinner. Will continue to return once or twice a year.

WHEN: Friday @ 5pm We made a reservation ahead of time. My party of 3 were seated immediately after arrival. Mosu is capital region's first AYCE kbbq & hotpot. It's a hotspot for foodies to gather, catch up with friends, colleagues, special occasions. You better be half starving before going to Mosu. I've eaten a fair share of ayce kbbq in CA before, I made sure I didn't overeat throughout the day. Mosu interior was larger than expected. Very upscale chandelier and modern take on ayce restaurants. Half of the restaurant has built in grills on the tables, half of it has built-in hotpot stoves. You can't opt for both kbbq & hotpot, only one or the other. MENU SELECTIONS A large variety of steak cuts, sirloin, filet magnon, briskets, you say it they have it. Pork chops, lamp, seafood options. Variety of veggies as well. And snacks. It's AYCE, I made a mistake ordering too many snacks for apps that I couldn't finish. Don't forget Mosu charges for extra leftovers!!!! Don't over order and waste food. We ordered 2 rounds of meats and veggies and were filled after an hour of nonstop eating lettuce wrapped kbbq. I highly recommend ordering kimchi, Szechuan chili veggies to eat w kbbq meats so you can digest quicker while adding flavors. Small beverage selection that's included in the ayce- water, soda, juices. Boba, cocktails, soju, sparkling water are additional charge. VALUE Not sure if it's worth $50/person. It's definitely not your typical CA ayce kbbq. It's the first in the capital region, demand is low, ppl are willing to pay as much as they can to experience it. Typically in the Bay Area, Los Angeles big cities offers ayce kbbq for $30-40/person. The quality of meats, veggies, seafood, desserts, snacks selection is about the same.

We came as a group of four. Parking is super easy in the plaza. The choice for all-you-can-eat is amazing for us who loves meat. The iPad for self ordering is really convenient, and our service guy is really nice in refilling water and changing grill. I'm a huge fan of the seaweed salad and cheesy corn. Fried rice is ok...less flavorful and too little of portion. But the quality of the meat is perfect in Albany. We almost got all kinds of beef if not second round. First time doing lamb and got really surprised by the juicy and flavorful meat. Love the fact that they have ice cream and smores for dessert. Didn't get to drink much this time but would love to come back next time to have another feast.

We were in the colonie area n were looking for a place for dinner on YELP n came across Mosu. Never been to an Asian style bbq n thought we'd give it a try. Was close to our hotel. Nice restaurant n w a good ambiance n friendly staff. A lil on the expensive side but we went with the all inclusive that had the appetizers entrees and deserts. We had a very light lunch. So when twas dinner time we were starving. The drinks were extra. Had the virgin () mango maragarita which I enjoyed. Our waiter warned us that we would be charged extra for wastage. Food was really good n delicious. Since we were 3 we tried different appetizers meats n veg. Had the dumplings, scallops, fried shrimp, edamame and crab Rangoon for appetizers. And the fried rice was b tasty. For desert we had crème brûlée, s'mores n ice cream. Liked the house special coffee ice cream. All in all was very good n plan to come back soon. Tx u 4 a great dinner.

My first time trying hot pot and it was so fun! The servers were very helpful since it was our first time and everything was very flavorful. The spicy broths were SPICY! Very good though. I want to come back to try the Korean BBQ.

Unfortunately, I do not have any photos. Our family went tonight for the AYCE BBQ and loved it. While I normally eat very little meat, tonight was an exception. We had lamb, ribeye & fillet mignon, and several vegetable items. Our little one, who is normally picky about her veggies devoured her broccoli along with the lamb. I enjoyed the dry rub which was not needed at all because the food was yummy without it, but it added another layer of flavor that did not disappoint. My hubby and I are looking forward to going again for veggie hotpot. The service was wonderful. It was excellent. Tips - Start small so you know how much to add on. We did this as to avoid wasting food and we were successful. - I agree with the other reviewers: This place is perfect if everyone in your group is going to eat a good amount otherwise order very little a la carte.

I really want to give 3.5 stars. But that's not an option. So I'm going 4 because I'd rather "round up" and! I did not eat BBQ or Hot Pot, which is clearly the key reason to come to Mosu. WHAT A NICE SPOT! Super high ceilings with all sorts of creative design elements. Lots of windows and natural light. Airy, roomy space that still feels comfortable. The bar is at the center of the restaurant, flanked by two sections of Korean BBQ and Hot Pot tables. For those who don't know, Korean BBQ and Hot Pot are meals you cook yourself at your custom built table. It is a very social, communal, fun dining experience. I imagine it would be a great idea for a first date! Or really any date... I sat at the bar. The menu at the bar is designed around Asian street foods. I don't eat beef, pork or poultry, but there were still things for me to order. The only "challenge" was that portions were so large I couldn't try as many things as I wanted. Which, honestly, is not a "problem" if you're dining out like a regular person. Suffice it to say you can sit at the bar have a drink or two (they have a WIDE selection of beer, wine, craft cocktails, even an entire Sake Bomb section...!) and order one or two things and be full. I was interested in drinking sake and they have an entire sake menu. Like 5 or 6 choices, but that works for me! I was able to order a sake I liked and then I ordered hot tea and they had barley tea, which is really mainly the only tea I ever want. When I'm eating Korean or Japanese I always want my three beverages: sake, hot tea and water. And I drink all of them. I started out with Edamame. You can get regular or spicy. So, of course, I got spicy. Weirdly, this was the most disappointing Edamame I've ever had. It wasn't actually spicy, despite the large, dried peppers. But that wasn't the actual problem. The problem was the Edamame was undercooked. Someone didn't steam them long enough. They were borderline hard...!!?? I'm assuming it's not always this way. Someone made an error in that kitchen. Then I ordered Kimchi Tater Tots. PURE GENIUS! I am HERE for every "update" to Tater Tots. You want to do creative things with Tater Tots? I will try them! These are CRAZY DELICIOUS: Cheddar Cheese, Kewpie Mayo, Sriracha, Scallions, Teriyaki sauce. They hit ALL the notes you're looking for in a snack/bar food situation: hot, crispy, cheesy, a little spicy, flavorful. I'm not sure it would be a "good choice" to eat two orders of these. But I also can't say it would be the wrong choice... Scallion Pancake. There was SO MUCH Scallion Pancake (which was perfectly fried and thin and flaky) that I asked the bartender HOW MANY PANCAKES had been cut up to make this order?? Apparently you get at least TWO pancakes when you order this. Again, portion sizes are not small here. These were totally delicious. But I was starting to be scared about how much fried food I was eating. So I ordered fried tofu skewers. Look, all I can say is that the whole mountain of Kimchi Tater Tots had me not thinking straight. I probably should have chosen something "less" fried for the final thing. Positive: these were served so hot I almost hurt myself trying to eat them. Negative: the tofu itself was not tasty and the sauce was very sweet and syrupy. Just didn't work for me. I am most definitely a "savory" person. There are other things I would have tried if I hadn't stuffed myself with all the delicious tater tots and scallion pancakes! The thing about Mosu is that they are telling you PRECISELY who and what they are: Korean BBQ, Hot Pot, Bar Snacks. It is hard for me to resist anything involving snacks. I also like to eat some vegetables to balance out my fried. Problem was I would have had to order an entire "bowl" dish to get those veggies and I didn't want to commit! I wanted to attempt to eat a bunch of things. But that is not Mosu's fault. Next time! LOL Come here for a date, for a fun dinner with friends and family cooking your food at your table. Or sit at the bar to have a drink or two or three and eat ALL THE KIMCHI TATER TOTS!

We have been for hot pot and bbq. The food is great. For hotpot we did all you could eat for four people, 4 adults was worth it possibly. 2 adults and 2 kids we came out well ahead doing a la carte. The only (big) negative is that you have two hours to eat. When we came for hotpot we got there 90 minutes before closing. Not knowing this, we started getting more aggressive service and reminders about an hour in they were closing in 30 minutes. About 75 minutes into Bbq we started getting reminders and more attentive service. The atmosphere is nice, well decorated.

Hot Pot- service excellent- broths are gross, there are no additional seasonings to add on. I have been to numerous hot Pat restaurants, this was super disappointing.

If you aren't THAT hungry or have small appetite, don't go to AYCE Mosu. I mean.. you don't want to spend $55 bbq if you only eat two pieces of meat, right? Anyways, I went to Mosu for the first time last week with my boyfriend. We ordered bunch of meats (mostly beef & pork) and veggies, appetizers (popcorn chicken, crab rangoon and edamame), desserts (creme brulee and smores) and barley tea (so good). It's worth the price for the all the food we ordered. The sauces they have is delicious--soy, gochujang and peanut sauce. Clever combo! Though gochujang is still my fave. Despite all the goodness of the food & experience, I am giving 4 stars because I think that their seafood selection is still limited. I was hoping they would have squids or octopus on the menu--considering this is still korean bbq place. But then, I thought to myself, this is a fusion restaurant too, so I should not have expected much. Also, another issue I got is that there's no exhaust for each grill. My eyes was a bit hurting due to the smoke. I guess I'm used to the korean bbq place in asia, where they have exhaust right on top of the grill, so that your clothes won't smell and your eyes are not hurting. Still, I like Mosu and I think it's an AYCE restaurant worth going. I cannot wait to try the hotpot. Overall, service is above and beyond, and I like that they are very attentive.

I went to Mosu for the first time and decided to try the all you can eat hot pot. You have a 2 hour time limit to eat anything and everything you want. Our server was very kind and explained how everything worked very well. The other servers that brought us our food as we ordered were also very kind. They made the experience feel a lot more welcoming. The vibe in the restaurant is great. Definitely would be a great place to have a get together of any kind. Lots of variety to choose from! The taste of the food was excellent. It is a cook-it-yourself place, so keep that in mind! There are tips on the iPad at the table that recommend cooking times, etc. There also are some additional charges for items like alcohol, special meats, etc. You'll see that when you go to order each item, so it shouldn't come as a surprise when you go to pay. It's $50-$55 a person for all you can eat hot pot OR BBQ (have to choose one), so in my opinion, the value for what you can get is great. Definitely make sure you're hungry when you come here! This is one of my new favorite spots, and I'm very happy there is a great hot pot and BBQ place in the area now. I will be back very soon! *Forgot to add: they are big on not having waste, so if you leave a lot of food behind that they have to throw out, you will be charged for it! Like I said, COME HUNGRY!*

Mosu is a new experience for those who have never tried hot pot or table top BBQ. Mosu's Korean BBQ allows you to cook your meal on a small grill in the center of the table. We have tried and enjoyed hot pot or shabu-shabu or Jeongol or fondu previous to this and enjoyed that. (Hot pot offers the diner the ability to cook their meats and vegetables in a steaming hot liquid and enjoy.) So, let's try the BBQ! Mosu offers ala carte or a one time fee to reap the rewards of Korean BBQ. Alcoholic or specialty drinks are not included in the price, but can be purchased separately. Also included in the one fee are appetizers (we picked deep fried calmari, shrimp and scallops), salads, and dessert. You select your meats/fish and vegetables from a tablet tableside. Your servers then deliver your raw choices tableside to cook on your personal grill. Selections include Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Pork, Seafood (shrimp and salmon), and several vegetable choices. Also on your tablet are suggested cooking instructions. You then have sauces for dipping to enhance the flavors or eat your cooked items sans sauces. We ordered several beef items including tongue and filet mignon. Veggys selected were asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms and lettuce wraps. Shrimp and calmari are cleaned and deveined ready for grilling. An enjoyable meal to say the least. Now my bad comment. I ordered a hot and sour soup. Their version of hot and sour is not. It is hot and sweet. It has most of what you'd expect in a hot/sour soup except the for the sweet. Not my cup of tea. Knowing that, I'd skip it next time. Very entertaining way to dine, however, I did see that the hot pot diners had the option of clams. I've had clams on a grill before and they can be delicious. Too bad. NOTE: Go light on what you order as leftovers that are over ordered and not consumed may get an additional fee for wasted product. Not a problem if you order what you want and eat it.

What an experience! MOSU is an incredible date spot. I honestly forgot to take a lot of pictures because it was so fun. This isn't just a meal, it's a fun thing to do! This review is coming after a 3 hour blissful food coma. Just wow. This is all you can eat, so come hungry and pace yourself. You get two hours and can order as many times as you'd like. I think we ordered about 5 times over 1.5 hours. It's pricy but I felt it was 100% worth it for an occasion. Would be ideal for a larger group of people and you could literally sample the whole menu. You use an iPad to place all your orders for individual meats and sides. It was so seamless and the service was incredibly quick. It was easy and if you needed a drink, easy to order and quick to come. So we did Korean Bbq and you cook everything yourself, that makes it so fun. I thought it could possibly be stressful but you really wanna pace yourself so it was all perfect. It all cooks really fast, longest being chicken which was about 8 minutes total. Super fun. Think like, hibatchi but on a grill? The flavors are similar though the dishes so if you love hibatchi I think this is something new you'd love! We had some of the kitchen apps, plenty of fried rice, but it's the meat for me. I tried most of the cuts of steak, the marinated ribeye and thick cut ribeye were my favorite. We also had chicken, pork, lamb chops, shrimp, short ribs, some veggies. The sauces they offer are amazing and they all complimented the flavors so well. The only thing that could have made this any better would be a second stomach. I think I have go back for my birthday and try all the things I simply couldn't try today. Cannot reccomend it enough, incredible.

It's a very good restaurant to go with family or dates. A la carte Can be a little expensive due to the fact that the meat selection only brings 4 slices of meat however the experience was amazing.

Went to Mosu for our 23rd wedding anniversary. Brought the kids for some extra laughs. They didn't disappoint. Food was phenomenal! Our server did a great job talking us through the iPad ordering system and we were off! Had the AYCE Asian BBQ. So good! Can't wait to go back and try the hot pot! Pricey but worth it. Parties over 5 have gratuity built in but our waiter was kind enough to share that up front to prevent sticker shock. Party of 5 was over $350.00. We felt as if we were at a signature restaurant in Walt Disney World. PS if you like crème brûlée, theirs is amazing!

WOWWW!! 5/5 stars all around, especially for a brand new restaurant, they have it down pat already and they've only been open a few weeks. Everything exceeded my exceptions. The decor is a vibe. It's definitely an up-scale establishment. Everywhere you turn there's something that catches your eye. We mad reservations for four on a Friday night at 4pm. We decided on the all-you-can-eat ($50 per person) so we could try a little bit of everything. Great menu, good variety of meats, fish, veggies, dessert, and cocktails. We tried a little bit of everything but I would say my FAVORITES were the crab rangoon as an appetizer, the Korean short ribs were unbelievable- we ordered 3 more servings of those- probably the best Korean ribs I've ever had. The curry chicken, filet mignon, and salmon were all tasty as well. The only negative thing I can say is the rice wasn't the tastiest but with some soy sauce, BAM! The drinks were all on point. I got the Bangkok Gimlet and it was so refreshing- Gin, Lime, Cane Sugar, Triple Sec, Thai Basil- *yum* One of the servers came out with a FRESH cut of meat (no marinade added) for our table that was unbelievable. It was so tasty, perfectly cut. The chef trained in Japan for over a decade before opening up this restaurant and they focus more on the quality and cut of meat than the marinade. Exceptional. I'm very bummed I didn't ask for the names of who served us because they were all top-notch. My boyfriend loves korean/Japanese/asian cuisine and he could not stop raving about this place. It's super hard to impress him with food as well. So I would say 5/5 recommend, and we will be back!

It's been tough without AYCE korean bbq since I moved to upstate NY. And then I found there's Mosu during a work trip. I went with 2 other co-workers and got the AYCE bbq. The price is pretty standard and there was a surprisingly large selection of items to choose from. The space is huge and the staff was very quick and attentive. You order everything from the ipad which makes it super easy and you don't have to wait for the server to come back. We ordered a bunch of items so I'm just going to touch on a couple stand out items. For apps I loved the seaweed salad and the scallops. The scallops are breaded nicely and the scallop was still moist and soft. For the meats I would recommend any of the marinated meats in the beef section. The meat, if cooked properly, will be soft and well seasoned. Amongst the seafood, the miso shrimp was super good. Don't over cook it though or it'll be tough. Also try the lamb and lamb shanks. They're really good value for the quality. The dessert was awesome. The creme brulee was delish! I think it's limited to 2 per person but I think they're a good size and I was good with just one. And then we got the smores! You can roast the marshmallow at your own table! What a great way to end a meal. I would totally come back to this spot when I'm in town again.

Went here for my s/o's birthday as a party of three. I booked the reservation online while carefully looking at the menu... are the prices listed on the website or did I miss them? Upon arriving and checking in we were slapped with a 55$ per person charge for all you can eat. Plus a single bottle of soju and tip the bill was nearly 250$ - not at all what I was expecting due to lack of clear pricing online. Additionally, I'm not sure what exactly I was tipping for due to the fact that you order everything off of a tablet and multiple people will come and drop it off - it didn't seem like we had a designated server at all so I hope they pool tips. I gave 2 stars because the food honestly did taste good but other than that it was an unenjoyable experience and we will not be returning.

I got a nice $15 grilled chicken veggie bowl for dinner followed by a $5 matcha bubble tea. It was a simple, healthy meal. I was ravenous and the staff was nice. They fed me quickly. The meal was as I envisioned. I saw the kbbq grills and the hot pots. I would have been happy to go to town with one meal or another, but that was not to be. My hubby was taking me out for date night. He wanted to decompress and have drinks at the bar. So the bartenders were very attentive and quickly took my food order. Somehow they realized that I was super hungry. I was also not drinking since I was the designated driver. This was one of those rare occasions when I was too distracted to remember to photograph my meal. The decor is modern. It looks upscale. My only issue was with the enormous dragon geisha-lady mural at the bar. Why did it appear that the geisha's eyes were bleeding? Didn't anyone think that might be alarming? Isn't a "dragon lady" an awful stereotype in this day and age? The colors were wonderfully vivid, but I found the mural offensive as well as an example of cultural appropriation. However, the artist is entitled to speech and expression. The owners are an investment group. They've apparently used the mural as a sort of trademark. If you plan to eat Chinese hot pots or AYCE kbbq, they're a big commitment since everybody at the table will share grills and hot pots. You'll need to be on the same page. According to the reviews, some people found the bbq unauthentic and a bit pricey. Others were disappointed that the meats weren't marinated. I like mine marinated, but some experts believe if the cuts of meat are great they won't need marinating. Maybe I'll come back to try these meals sometime. I just don't want to sit in front of the disturbing mural again. It's an Asian fusion restaurant so I won't expect everything to be authentic. I just want the meals to be good and the staff to be helpful. Most of the reviews seem to reflect that.

Ultimately it'll come down to how you feel about all you can eat vs a la carte. We came with four adults, each order of meat is definitely just enough for maybe 1 serving per person so budget accordingly. With a drink each, leaving full but no dessert we ended up maybe saving $5 versus all you can eat price (but we got drinks). The meat portions definitely say if you're coming here with four dudes that are hungry and can eat you should all you can eat. Tops were the rib eye for sure. The pork belly is to be desired...I wanted my traditional California thick cut belly but it's more like a thin fatty bacon. Great sides though. Not a banchan level of dishes but the Sichuan cabbage is great and kind of goes with everything.

I've been to Mosu before and it's fine I enjoyed my time but nothing to write home about. But today family and I made a reservation (a little prematurely I'll admit) for 6-7 People for a birthday party in two days.. 15 minutes later we called to cancel because there were a few people that weren't so sure about the restaurant. so no big deal in my mind well just call to cancel and apologize. When we call it's immediately a giant ordeal and we get transferred to a manager and the manager tells us that we are banned from ever eaten there again don't call for reservations or ever show up there again. I'd advise stay away from this place, the foods basic, the service is basic, the price is abhorrent and the management is apparently even worse.

If you're looking for somewhere nice to treat yourself or celebrate some big news, this is a great place. You can check out their a la carte menu, but I would recommend taking the all you can eat option (at least for your first time going) so you can try a sampling of what they have to offer. If you take that route, you can either pick the Asian BBQ option or the Hot Pot option. You're given 90 minutes, so feel free to take your time and soak it in (get it?) I went with Hot Pot, where you can pick two broths as bases to cook the rest of your selection in. After choosing the curry broth and miso broth, a waiter came over to add the broth bases (still in solid form) directly into the pot and then pour hot water over top to slowly blend it in and bring the broth to a boil. Once boiling, you can start dropping food in to cook. Most things took 30 seconds or so to cook, so it's a really convenient and easy process. The things that take longer, like the fresh noodles, still only take two or three minutes. The curry broth has a good kick to it, spicier than I expected. The miso broth is rich and flavorful. I tried the beef, lamb, shrimp, fresh noodles, mushrooms, broccoli, dumplings, and maybe more. It was all really fresh and the ingredients absorbed the flavor from the broth quickly. The all you can eat option also included already cooked appetizers, like wontons and dumplings, that you could order throughout the meal, as well as drinks and desserts (get the crème brûlée, trust me). I also ordered the Bikini Bottom cocktail, which was refreshing and complimented the meal well.

The atmosphere is good....staff were great, and helpful. The food (party of 2 had the $55pp all you can eat self grill Asian BBQ), was just ok. Appetizers (all cooked by the kitchen)...Crab Rangoon, veg spring roll, fried dumplings, fried shrimp, fried scallops, smashed cucumber salad...were all just ok. Sides....fried rice (cooked by kitchen), cream corn (in little cups cook on Asian BBQ)...were just ok. Garlic Shrimp, pieces of marinated sirloin pepper steak (on Asian BBQ) both good. Pieces of Thick Ribeye (on Asian BBQ) really good. Bone in Cumin Lamb Chop (on Asian BBQ) outstanding!!!!! Best thing we ate/cooked. Don't waste your time on the filet, or marinated Flat Iron steak, or the Odd Pork Belly. You only get 2hrs, and time starts when u are seated....so alot of it depends on your server etc....we didn't try any chicken or Sausage, because of the time of cooking them....went right to the meats...lol. Dessert is made in the kitchen...we tried Vanilla Ice Cream, and Cookies n Cream Ice Cream...both ok. The Creme Brulee is really good!! All the sauces/rubs they bring out are good, and bring some flavor. It took us 1 hr and 45min for 2 people, and only 3 other tables seated the whole time we were there. So you have to maximize your time, with ordering what and when....with a limited size Asian Grill in your table. Most likely we won't be back....not worth it. It was good to try...kinda gimmicky.

Listen the all you can eat option is not cheap, but it's worth every single penny!! We did the BBQ grill (there's also a hot pot option). It is such a fun experience start to finish. You can order whatever you want including cooked appetizers, plenty of different raw meats and veggies and desserts. It's super easy to cook on the grill and a fun time. We never spend a long time out to eat just the 2 of us and we spent 2 hours out New Year's Eve having fun! We also enjoyed some sake, soju and earl grey tea martinis that were just amazing. Our server was super helpful and the atmosphere was a blast!

This place is exactly what I was hoping for in Korean dining. Tables complete with grills and an easy tablet ordering system to pick out whatever you'd like. I like that the price per person includes everything in the tablet and the service is quick to the table with your requests. Everything is well seasoned and it's up to you to cook it to your liking. It's a busy, fun, somewhat upscale restaurant with a lot going on during peak dinner hours, especially on weekends. I've dined here several times and haven't left feeling like it deserved less than 5 stars anytime. If you're looking for Korean hot pot or grill tables, this place doesn't disappoint!!

I've been to a number of Korean barbecue places and I feel like Mosu is probably my favorite one. The rest of them tend to fall in either the two cheap categories with in expensive cuts of meat or the two expensive category where it ends up costing close to $100 per person. I enjoyed that Mosu had both à la cart and all you can eat options. And while I was sad that there was only two of the typical side dishes available, they could be ordered via the iPad in the quantities that we wanted. We also enjoyed the lunch specials, including the green tea ice cream that we picked for dessert. The service was top notch and in a style that I've seen in high-end restaurants around the country where there were multiple people at the host station and while we had a primary server, there was a constant stream of employees that took care of us. We can't wait to come back to try the hot pot option.
