Moo Deung San Restaurant — Restaurant in Kaipātiki

First time visiting this Korean BBQ restaurant tonight. We ordered two types of meat, one beef and one pork, and both were marinated to perfection. They were so flavorful that you could almost eat them straight after grilling. Additionally, the restaurant provided fresh garlic slices to accompany the meal, enhancing the taste with the delightful pungency of garlic. The variety of side dishes was abundant and refillable, which was a great bonus.

The owner kindly assisted us with grilling the meat, making it even more enjoyable as we didn't have to worry about burning it. The final bill averaged $38 per person, not exactly cheap, but the portions were generous, and we left feeling completely satisfied. The restaurant's ventilation was also excellent, as we didn't carry any unpleasant barbecue smells on our clothes.

I highly recommend this place to everyone. It's definitely...

진짜 너무 추천하고 싶어서 챗지피티 돌려가며 썼음

I happened to visit this Korean restaurant by chance since it’s near my place, and honestly, I didn’t have high expectations—especially being abroad. But wow, it completely exceeded anything I imagined! The food was incredibly delicious, and the side dishes (banchan) were better than what I’ve had back in Korea! So many varieties and every one of them was tasty!

The portions were generous, and they kindly offered refills if anything seemed to be running low. It reminded me of the warmth and hospitality of Korea—I left with a full stomach and a full heart. It made me so happy that I came back just three days later!

This time, I had the Galbitang and Altang — and let me tell you, the flavors were calling for soju… I had quit drinking, but this place made me want to start again! Haha.

Everything I’ve tried so far — Samgyeopsal, marinated pork ribs, Galbitang, and Altang — was fantastic. I honestly feel like you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Also, the way they serve samgyeopsal with steamed cabbage wraps instead of lettuce? Such a unique and tasty twist!

There’s also a Woolworths, Asian mart, hair salon, and a library nearby, so it’s a perfect spot to stop by after running errands. Plus, there’s a bus stop right in front — super convenient!

I think I’ll be visiting often from now on. Thank you so much for the amazing food and heartfelt service!

I usually don’t write long reviews (they often feel like ads), but this place genuinely made me want to share my experience.

집 근처에 있어서 우연히 갔던 한국 음식점이었어요. 해외에서 먹는거라 큰 기대는 없었는데, 예상을 깨고 엄청나게 맛있었습니다! 특히!! 밑반찬은 가짓수도 많고 한국에서 먹는 것 보다 음식 맛이 좋았어요😃😃 양도 많이 주시고 모자란거 같으면 리필도 충분히 해주셔서 한국의 정을 잔뜩 느끼고 왔어요ㅋㅋ완전행복

그래서 첫 방문한지 삼일만에 다시 재방문했어요. 이번에는 갈비탕과 알탕을 먹었어요. 소주를 부르는 맛입니다… 술 끊었는데 여기서 다시 시작했어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

먹었던 삼겹살, 돼지갈비, 갈비탕, 알탕 모두 만족스러운 식사였어요. 아마 뭘 먹어도 100% 성공할거예요. 특히 삼겹살을 찐 양배추에 싸먹을 수 있게 나오는데 색다르고 맛있어요.

근처에 울월스, 아시안마트, 미용실, 도서관 등 다양한 볼거리도 함께 있으니 근처 돌아보시고 식사하기에 딱 좋을 거예요. 버스 정류장도 바로 앞에 있으니 걱정할 필요 없어요.

아마 앞으로도 자주 방문할 것 같습니다🤭 좋은 음식 정말 감사합니다♥️♥️

Family dinner out with our son. They had baby chair which we weren't sure if they would so that was good. Planned to get charcoal bbq but they suggested it's too dangerous with baby close so got sizzling pork and beef soup. Both were really delicious. The soup was so yum. The side dishes were also very nice. They had this mushroom one which i dont see often and was very tasty. Their kimchi was homemade and nice, bit of a spicy kick too but u can choose to be mild. They also sell the kimchi which we will try sometime. Will be back and a go to Korean...
