In a city like Los Angeles and a place like K-town it's really hard to stand out when it comes to Korean food, this place accomplishes that with easy. The meats are top notch for the price, the parking is quick and simple, customer experience has was excellent. That watermelon soju is elite! I definitely recommend this spot and I'll be back soon.
A hidden hotspot in Koreatown! The retro-style ambiance is intriguing, and the restaurant's spacious interior with high ceilings sets it apart from other BBQ spots--no lingering meat smells here! It's a rare treat to indulge in premium cuts like chuck flap tail and shrimp meat to your heart's content. The signature watermelon soju, served in an actual watermelon, is a must-try! This place is perfect for family gatherings or birthday parties with friends, and even bringing kids wouldn't be an issue. ***The meat quality is top-notch!

A steal if you ask us The watermelon soju is a must to share with friends and family and have a good time before getting right back into eating haha great part is they also have their own valet parking!
Found this place on instagram and would recommend. Good food and music. Definitely a spot to try
I honestly have to say it is hard to impress me with KBBQ... Especially in the town where there is a kbbq spot on every corner. HOWEVER, Moodaepo was able to accomplish just that! Their meat? Saucy, Spicy, Savory. Soju? Crisp refreshing danger juice- you could not taste the alcohol at all, and the watermelon tasted so fresh! The customer service was excellent & it was one of the most spacious kbbq spots I've been inside. FOOD&DRINK: Brisket Spicy Pork Belly Short Ribs Corn Cheese Bulgogi Watermelon Soju
This is a great spot to take the fam for Korean bbq in Koreatown! so much space and for sure you'll be seated right away! Choose between 2 options- special or premium! You can go wrong either way! We chose premium and we think for 42.99 is such a steal for the premium meats we got! Our fave would have to be the Wagyu Beef Belly and Angus Short Rib! Also- the banchan kept coming no need to ask your servers! For our sides we also got steamed egg, ramen and corn cheese. I also had to get the Screw Kiss- cocktail soju with an awesome popsicle! They also have free parking which is pretty hard to come by in Koreatown!
