moon bbq — Restaurant in Gardena

Would probably go lower if I could.

Pros: Decent Food

Cons: Poor Service Including Tip into final bill then requesting another tip after that Price is significantly higher compared to similar places (Gen imo better quality everything for only $22/Person) Extremely uncomfortable seating especially if you're on the taller side Barely any table room to actually even manage to meat if you come with 4+ people

Finally Story Time:

So, 3 Friends and I decided to go to KBBQ we saw this place was open till 11pm so when we got seated at 9pm we figured we had plenty of time. To start off As others have mentioned they rush your first order of meat before you've even had a chance to inspect the menu as if you should just automatically know exactly what cuts of meat you want.

We order some basic fillers just to start drinks + brisket. The plate of brisket they brought for 4 people boiled down to 3 slices per person we were confused but figured we'd just order more.

We order more Brisket and some other items and the waitress goes off... 15min go by she comes back asking if we need more meat, we inform her we're still waiting for our first order......20 more min go by, still nothing. Mind you they've changed our grill twice now when we literally haven't had anything on it. We finally flag down a server how seems annoyed we flagged them down and place another order assuming they some how lost the first.

By the time we get out next round it's roughly 9:45pm we figure no big deal we'll have time to eat our fill. At 9:50 they come up to us and inform us that last call is already being called and we can only get more 1 round of meat despite the hours say 11pm

The bill came out to be $200 for 4 people with a roughly 20% tip already included, but of course they don't tell you that, then after you pay the bill give you a slot to deliver yet another tip for the extreme lack of service. Needless to say we did not have AYCE that night. If we were able to at least actually have the AYCE experience this review may have been closer to a 3 start, but we literally left still hungry (again their portions are extremely small for the fact that you have a party of 4) and ended up going to a cheap taco place after to...

By far probably one of the worst experiences I've had eating food at a restraunt. This rating is not specifically for the food but for the experience. The food is decent but not worth the price or experience. I do not see myself going back, or recommending it to anyone. Unfortunately I don't think it was because of covid either, it seems this place is designed to be a little cramped. I am 5'5 and went with a party of 4. I was the shortest person and I felt like I had no space. My friends complained about not being able to move and barely being able to sit in the chairs.

Another thing is after we had ordered 2 plates of meat, our third order took 20+ minutes to get for some reason. While we were seated two other new tables were sat and they got their meats before we did. I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but when they walk up to you after 20 minutes and ask what you want to order and you remind them you've already ordered it's halirously bad for everyone involved.

It was incredibly loud and alive. So loud that we could not hear each other from 3 feet away unless we were yelling.

We also arrived at 9pm, got told they were doing LAST CALL at 10pm. Even though the place closes at 11pm. Obviously we did not put up a fight even though we did not nearly have as much as we could eat. We ended up leaving/paying around 10:15.

What really left a bad taste in our mouths is being ignored whether it was just a slip of the mind or miscommunication. Then being told it's last call an hour before close (which kind of makes sense but also we were waiting for the meat).

Then getting slapped with a 50+$ per person bill just really made us all laugh.

After this because we were still hungry we went to go get tacos and talk about the bad experience we had. I do think maybe we just had really bad luck, but theres just no way I could recommend this place based on...

1st time here for daughters birthday. Small parking lot. We get by the door, someone greets us outside with mask and tells us to go in. They did not ask for vax card. We were not sure if they seat us or we find our own table. Plastic thin dividers were hanging from ceiling to separate customers. Very small in the inside. Finally got a table. No chairs only stools you sit on. No cushions. If you have back issues this is not the place for you. Table low, stools low and while sitting my legs fell asleep. They start your grill, ask about drinks. Didnt cart kids(26 and 20yrs) All you can eat is $31 a person. We ordered our meat (3). Small side dishes and tasted good. Meat comes on a small plate( like a gravy boat no handle and flat, or butter dish). Not enough for 3 people. We had to keep waving the server to come give more meat. Taste of meat was good for bulgogi. Pork belly, no season but we put sauce and salt. I just wish they would come and give more sides, more meat without asking. Will we be back, dont think so. Why, due to their stool my back will be in more pain. $123 dollars for bill, an a server had the nerve to ask for more tips after we paid. Um, to me this wasnt tip worthy. I just feel you have to go far and beyond as you serve. Sorry. But my...
