If you're looking for an incredible Korean comfort food experience, Moobongri in Irvine is the spot to visit! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly, and the service was impressively fast and friendly throughout our meal. We got seating right away at around 5 pm on a Saturday night, but after 30 minutes all the tables were filled and the waiting list started to grow. Let's talk about the banchan first--WOW. Each side dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell if a Korean spot is good by their kimchi and kimchi radish and it was really really good, enough for us to ask for a refill. We ordered the soondae hot pot, and it was absolutely perfect for a cold day. The rich, hearty broth was packed with flavor and came loaded with soondae (Korean blood sausage), vegetables, and other goodies. The portion size was generous and more than enough for two very hungry people. Quick tip, the soondae you gotta eat fast because if you leave it in too long, it falls apart and disappears lol On top of that, I added an extra serving of soondae and ramen, which elevated the dish to the next level of deliciousness. Our server helped cooked our dish as well which was super helpful. Moobongri is a gem, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're craving authentic Korean food and a cozy dining experience, this place will not disappoint. I'll definitely be back!

真的好后悔，后悔为什么没有早点来吃！！！除了松鹤之外第二家我特别喜欢的烤牛肠！ 怎么说呢他们家生意特别好，我周三下班来吃的，还好来得早！ 过了六点半全都是人！！ 而且都是韩国人。足以说明他们家的食物真的很正宗～ Moobongri Soondae Irvine Barranca (무봉리 순대국 얼바인 바랑카)： 4250 Barranca Pkwy Ste G, Irvine, CA 92604 我们点了三个最经典的菜： Spicy Pork Neck BoneHotpot：辣味火锅是Moobongri的招牌菜之一，主要材料为猪颈骨，与丰富多样的蔬菜如土豆、紫苏叶和大葱一起，慢炖于浓郁的汤底中。猪颈骨经过长时间炖煮，肉质鲜嫩，易于脱骨，完美吸收了韩国辣椒、大蒜及其他传统香料的辣味。这种火锅味道层次丰富，既有鲜味也有微甜，味道是我很少在别的地方见到的。讲道理应该是一道很油腻的菜但是品尝起来却非常清新，味道浓郁但是又不会腻。 Hinoki steamed Pork Belly：不得不说真的呢非常健康，用特制的桧木蒸锅来蒸制猪肚，使猪肚在完全不接触油烟的情况下，保留了肉质的原汁原味及嫩度。虽说有肥肉但是完全不油腻。蔬菜蒸出来之后口感也是非常鲜甜！！非常健康保留了食物的原味但也很好吃。 Beef Intestine/LargeIntestine/Abomasum BBQ： 小肠大肠和胃，我觉得是算非常不错的！ 不喜欢太油腻的可以稍微烤久一点！ 烤久了之后的皮香香脆脆， 没有任何的异味处理的很好。 配上辣酱和葱丝可以完美的解腻，一个劲的吃！！

A very unassuming place, but the food here is delicious, especially in the cold winter months when you're looking for something soupy (although they have a variety of tasty non-soup dishes as well). My go-to order is the Spicy Beef Short Rib Soup, the meat is so tender and the spiciness level packs just enough heat but is not overpowering. And the soup comes out piping hot temperature wise which I absolutely love and is so comforting on a cold day. The portions are pretty generous, and don't be afraid to take anything home. After putting the items in a to-go container, they shrink wrap the top of the container, so those dishes will remain fresh and sealed until you're ready to enjoy again!

Stop by on the way up from San Diego to SoFi stadium a chargers game. Ordered the pork belly and seafood pancake. The pork belly was soft like butter and tasted clean without much marinade. The seafood pancake was thick and was more like a loaf, stuffed with an assortment of seafood and veggies. Kept me full until after the game hours later. Friendly staff and and food came out fast.

Moobongri in Irvine is the go-to spot for delicious Korean cuisine. Their pork neck soup , boiled pork belly , and kimchi ribs are rich, flavorful, and perfect for chilly days . The tender meat, hearty broths, and bold spices make every dish satisfying. With a clean space and friendly staff , Moobongri offers both great food and a warm dining experience--ideal for winter comfort meals.

I've been here a couple of times and both experiences were similar! They don't have some of the things that are on the menu like the deep fried soondae or intestine hot pot or fish cake tendon soup. The food is delicious, but expensive and service is just okay! The last time we had to ask for white rice multiple times before they brought it. The spicy soondae hot pot was more than enough for 2 people but there was an absurd amount of bean sprouts inside

This spot has so many great options for food from stews to pancakes, mandu, and more plus plenty of seating. I tried their spicy pork ribs with cheese and loved the sweet, spicy sauce it came in plus how soft the meat was. Seafood pancake was perfectly crispy as well and had large chunks of squid in it. Dishes appear pricey but the portion sizes are generous. I would say the pork ribs by itself could feed 2 adults. Downside of this spot is that it's understaffed. Everyone was working really hard here and you could see how quickly they were cleaning, taking orders, bringing out food, etc. Because everyone was so busy, I had to grab menus from the cashier, walk up to the cashier to ask to order, and flag down a waiter for both the check and takeout boxes.

I want to preface that the service here was definitely a miss and my overall experience could have been better. The employees seemed overwhelmed and wasn't the most attentive HOWEVER the food was fantastic! I love gopchang, soondae and bossam and I haven't been able to find an authentic Korean restaurant that offers all of the above until now. The large beef intestine was one of the best I've had (note they only serve it after 3PM). I loved how they stir fry garlic and chives with it. The soondae was also solid and abundant. The bossam came in a steamed basket with a good variety of veggies. The kimchi tasted like it was fresh and made in house! All in all, this is a really authentic Korean spot in Irvine!

Moo Bong Ri is a pretty authentic korean restaurant serving all sorts of comforting soups and hotpot's to stir fried and steamed goods! what i ordered: * steamed bossam (s) * stir fry soondae (m) * spicy pork neck bone hotpot (m) their kimchi banchan is super good and portion size was great too
