NAMOO Korean BBQ

Probably one of my new favorite Korean bbq spots on the west side! 😋 My grandma, sister, and I all decided we wanted to come get Korean bbq for my sister's birthday and im glad we did because this was delicious!! It wasnt very crowded because it was a Wednesday and we came around 4:15 which was around the opening time. The center the restruant is in was beautiful and the interior was gergous! The music was great with a lounge vibe which had me swaying along. The waitresses and waitors were very kind and attentive explaining every dish and making sure we were all well accommodated. The food now on the other hand was amazing! The starters were very yummy and we tried every single one! We also got glass noodles (my favorite dish) scallion pancakes, and dumplings! For the dumplings though we didnt know they were going to be fried, but regardless they were still great! For the meats we had chicken, beef, and marinated pork! Our favorite was the beef, though they were all good. We also finished it off with a crepe cake for my sister's birthday and that was great! My grandma said it was delicious with the fruit bit with the cake. Overall everything was great and I really want to come back and try more things on the menu! I loved everything about this place and left a good first impression on me. Will be back again!

Finally - a solid, quality KBBQ option on the west side! We ordered Course Combo A for 2, kimchi fried rice, dumplings, and the soybean paste stew. The meat was great quality, our server cooked the meats for us perfectly the entire time, and we left really full and satisfied! While the banchan might not have been as thorough/traditional as some spots in Koreatown, the flavors were still authentic and solid. The ambiance inside was also nice, bright, and modern, making it the perfect spot for a date night (it's also right next door to AMC!!) or celebratory meal. Parking was also super easy and free in the structure.

I like that it’s a full service. I didn’t have to grill at all. They grilled for me and the ventilation is really good. I didn’t walk out smelling at all. Spacious place. They offer combo meals or you can do al a carte. Meal is on the pricer side. Staff are super attentive and nice. I was able to enjoy the food and my company without being distracted from grilling and my company. Overall, if I am back in the area I would definitely come back. Tips: Free parking in parking structure. Accepts credit card Serves alcohol. Great for big parties and date night. Reservations on Open table Indoor and outdoor seating available.

We hope they hire more staff soon because this place is great, but the poor servers are tending to too many tables at once. This can be an issue at times when you have to repeat your orders when they are too busy. Regardless, we go here when we don’t want to drive to Ktown. The meat is of good quality, the appetizers are tasty, and the restaurant is very clean and modern. The servers are polite and always check on and help with cooking the meat. We usually order the combo for 2, which is quite a lot of food for two individuals. Unfortunately, we never manage to finish it all, but it does taste great

Very clean establishment. Friendly servers. They do all the cooking of the meats for you. I highly recommend getting the apple sparkling cider and the b meat course meal with the bulgogi. Ribeye and brisket. Rice was separate charge unfortunately. Free parking in mall garage.

High-end KBBQ (Korean BBQ) - NO AYCE. This is a fine-dining experience. From the minute you walk in, you can see their bottles of fine wines: Silver Oak? Yes, please. They also have a variety of soju and a nice sake selection (medium to high end.) The place is elegant and classy and clean; not the greasy, smokey AYCE places with loud music. Since this was our first time here, we ordered the set dinner for 3-4 persons. It was perfect for the 3 of us. I prefer "quality" vs "quantity." The smokeless grill did not leave our hair and clothes smelling like BBQ. The wait staff cooked the meats to your liking. My son and I like medium-rare and my wife likes medium. They cooked each perfectly. In addition to the 7 or 8 cold side dishes, you get 3 hot side orders: steamed egg, Korean savory pancake and cheese and corn, all served burning hot, so be careful. The 4 meats, in order, were Beef Brisket, Namoo house special Boolgolgi, Ribeye steak, and my favorite, marinated beef short-rib (bone-in.) They also have a similarly price 3 wagyu course, but they were out of 2 wagyu choices. Besides, you won't get as much meat if you go with the wagyu, even though it's the same price ($188 vs $187.) I don't understand the pricing. Still, we thought $188 was the right going price for quality KBBQ on the Westside. $12 for a large bottle of Sapporo lager.

We got to try Namoo BBQ and were really amazed by this location! Their interior is really clean and the staff is very attentive to any requests you may have! We had gotten their combo Course A. It came with Beef Brisket, Pork Belly or Bulgogi and Beef Short Rib! It came with its own sides besides the complimentary sides they already give you so it got us full! Would recommend coming in and trying this location out if you’re in the Marina Del Rey location!
