Moobongri Soup & Yakiniku is located in the old McCully Buffet location aka the old Camellia Buffet location. Moobongri is a popular restaurant that specializes in soondae, which is a Korean blood sausage dish. This restaurant is fairly new, we came early for lunch on a weekday so we wouldn’t catch a crowd. They did a great job renovating this place, everything was so clean and new looking. The Korean waitresses were very nice which is a bit of a departure for me but I’ll take it lol. As we lunched, more folks came in and the majority of them were Korean so that’s a good sign. They have a pretty big private parking lot which I was able to self-park, not sure what the parking is like at night but lunch time is chill. Let’s get to the food!
Various Seasonings
Their menu has an expansive soup section – I love that they have all these seasonings for your soup at your table! I didn’t have to use any this time but would definitely use them if I didn’t get such a flavorful soup!
Broccoli Banchan
Great side dish, it’s steamed broccoli with goma dressing. How simple is that? Since I have to stuff myself full of more vegetables, I totally bought myself broccoli and the dressing to make at home too. Quick blanch of the broccoli to retain the crunch and just a bit of dressing. Perfect summer cooling dish.
Daikon Kimchee
Nice banchan! You can tell this daikon has been properly fermented. I don’t like it when it’s too fresh or too sour, this was just right!
Kimchee
Can tell this was house made and it was good! Looks sour but it wasn’t too sour at all! I enjoyed it!
Poke
Don’t usually see poke as a banchan but I was very happy to see it. I’m thinking this might be kajiki but I like kajiki so it was good! Seasoning was like a simple sesame oil and salt with red chili flakes. So good. They even offered to refill this which I absolutely said yes to and finished both plates myself lol.
Kimchee Pancake | $13.95
Good pancake! They actually mistakenly gave us Seafood Pancake at first but I had to correct them since my fellow diner did not want the seafood pancake. They weren’t mad and took it back and brought us the new one after. It was delicious!
LA Kalbi & Cold Noodle Lunch Combo Special | $24.95
Not my dish but it was enjoyed heartily! I think they are generous with their portions and even the slices of the meat in the naengmyun was pretty “tick”. And of course they offered to cut up the noodles for her when they served it.
Spicy Soondae Sooup | $17.95
Yes, you read that right. Spicy. I am the spice queen after all *ahem*. When Chan saw the pics, he was saying the soup is only half full. He is correct but actually this bowl was quite big (bigger than the usual bowls they serve soups out of) so it was a lot! And it’s chock full of blood sausage and offal that most folks probably wouldn’t like.
Well, more for me! I like it! It was so delicious! I had enough leftover to eat it for dinner too. Delicious. We both really enjoyed it and plan to return soon!!
