MuuKaTa6395 — Restaurant in San Francisco

This place was so good I came back during the same weekend! And I bought a mookata grill the following week because I couldn’t stop thinking about going back LOL

First off, this is THAI bbq, not Korean BBQ so the experience will be different. There’s only two sauces (red sauce and green sauce) along with lime, Thai chili, and garlic and that’s it. So for everyone expecting all the sides that kbbq has, this is not for you. In all honestly, I prefer this so much more.

What I highly recommend ordering for two: Papaya Salad ($14), and Set Muu Large ($59). You will be stuffed!! On the occasion me and my girl friend came, we had to take so much left overs home. On the other occasion I took my very active, gym-going bf and we were both highly satisfied with the portions!

The customer service is excellent. When I went when it was not busy, our server even put our meat on the grill for us which was very kind of her. The servers on both nights I went were very courteous and kind.

The grills do burn very quickly if you’re not watching it. I noticed there were patrons who looked like they were not used to this experience and all their grills were burned. If you know how to be a grill master at kbbq then you should be fine.

I have a feeling I will be taking more people here… it’s such a refreshing change from hot pot or kbbq.. I honestly think this is less overwhelming and the customer service is a lot better. Overall worth at least trying once because you’ll definitely be back again.

For kids, I noticed a lot of kids were pretty bored here. Definitely feel like this could be a place for kids but I also realize this restaurant is fairly small and with limited seating. Because you need to tend the grill often, I would find that this is fairly difficult for a family of small kids.

For parking, there is street parking, with tons of meters. The meters expire after 6pm so this is the perfect...

This restaurant has been on my list ever since it popped up on yelp. I haven't seen any other Thai BBQ hot pot restaurants in the Bay Area. I came here with my family after watching the Nutcracker ballet. I didn't think about how we'd smell like charcoal and meat in our fancy clothes so next time I come l'd wear sweats! I think there's only street parking around but luckily for me I was able to find metered parking right in front. The restaurant is quite clean and bathrooms were clean which is a huge plus. We ordered 2 of the large BBQ hotpot combos and a papaya salad. It was the perfect amount for the 4 of us! We loved the charcoal grill and the sauces! All 3 were delicious: spicy seafood sauce, muukata sauce, and tamarind sauce. don't eat papaya salad but my mom and sisters really liked it. The combo also let's you choose a rice or noodle so 3 of us got garlic fried rice and 1 sticky rice. Both are good but we al liked the garlic fried rice more. For proteins we got pork shoulder, pork belly, marinated chicken, scallop, squid, and shrimp. For hotpot the broth was herbal Thai broth and vegetables was an assortment of cabbage, carrots, mushroom and tofu. Overall our meal was delicious, however the meat, seafood, and veggies are just ok quality. What made the food really good was the charcoal grill and sauces. I also got 1 free Thai tea from check-in and it was a little more creamy than I'm used to which didn't like at first, but it turned out to be a really nice drink after eating the spicy seafood sauce. My mom ordered their hot tea which was a corn tea and she loved it. Service was excellent and the staff is so attentive! It was our first time dining here and they were really helpful with explaining the menu. Altogether it was about $146 pre-tip which think is pretty good for 4 people in SF. would give the food 4 stars and 1 extra star for the...

This is so good... 🤤. I rarely review the good spots because I gatekeep but this place is new and I want them to stay in business foreverrrr. The bbq never burns and the broth is so yummy with all the meat drippings. The large bbq states it's for 2 people and I would say that's pretty accurate, you could get away with 3 but with 4 you'll need to order more food. I got papaya salad and 1 large CYO bbq with pork shoulder, pork belly, marinated chicken, rib-eye (not steak), and scallops with fried rice as the starch choice. It was all so flavorful and the chicken was unbelievably tender and not dry even though I left it on the grill longer than needed. In regards to the pan burning, there is a particular order you must cook the meats to prevent that and I learned this from kbbq. They give you a large piece of lard and that helps the meat from sticking thus prevents burning but don't leave the lard on the pan, it will burn. What I do is grease, place the meat and then place lard aside until I grease again when flipping the meat. An additional technique in keeping the pan clean is dunking the lard in the broth and using it as a scrubber, pushing all the meat bits into the broth for more flavor. Also, the heat is controlled by adding cold broth. For my meat choices this is the cooking order and it never burns: pork belly, chicken, pork shoulder, beef. The scallops should be cooked in the broth towards the end after most of the meat is cooked so it absorbs all of the yummy meaty broth flavors. The papaya salad was so good we ordered a second and the dipping sauces, red and green, are also very delicious. I had such a hard time choosing between the two when dipping my meat that I dipped into both at times. Afterwards, I kept thinking about the meal all day that, in fact, I went again the...
