Irvine Eats｜Moving Octopus Sashimi 🐙 + Grilled Beef Intestine Hot Pot

The other day I came across a Korean restaurant called "Moobongri" in Irvine and was instantly intrigued — they serve the same live octopus sashimi you see on Korean variety shows! 🐙📺 I was so curious about how it tasted, so I grabbed a friend and went to try it. Turns out they have a huge menu: beef intestine hot pot, pork spine stew, ox bone soup, bossam — you name it! 🍲🔥 👇 Here’s what we ordered 👇 🌟 Live Octopus Sashimi: Fresh octopus tentacles cut into pieces — still slightly moving when served! Dip them in sweet-spicy sauce and sesame oil — chewy, bouncy, and zero fishy taste! Super fresh and refreshing — way better than I expected! But be careful — don’t let the suckers stick to your tongue! 👅💥 🌟 Beef Intestine Hot Pot: We got the small size (with beef large intestine and tripe). Pre-grilled till golden, then cooked again with fresh chives and garlic 🧄. The intestine is crispy outside and bursts with rich beef oil when you bite in — so flavorful! The tripe is crunchy and chewy — best eaten with dipping sauce to cut the richness. 🌟 Cheese Pork Cutlet: Crispy Korean-style fried pork cutlet stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese 🧀. A total calorie bomb — but oh-so-satisfying! 😋💣 Restaurant: 【Moobongri Irvine】 📍 4250 Barranca Pkwy Ste G, Irvine, CA 92604 #LAEats #LADining #LiveOctopus #IrvineEats #IrvineFood #Irvine #IrvineKoreanFood #IrvineFoodReview #LAFoodGuide #LAFood
