About us

STOP what you're doing and book a table at Mountain San BBQ --this place is a certified KBBQ banger. If you're rolling deep and hungry in Ktown - Mountain San BBQ is your new go-to. We came in with a group of 7 and ordered both the Premium Beef Combo and Pork Combo, and it was absolutely the right move. Every cut was on point - the beef was tender and juicy, the pork had that perfect balance of crisp edges and melt-in-your-mouth fat. No dry bites, no filler -- just premium meat done right. The marinated short ribs and ribeye were crowd favorites, but honestly, there wasn't a single bad item on the grill. Every bite hit. Hard. And the side dishes? * Steamed egg - cloud-like, fluffy perfection. * Mung bean pancake -- crispy, earthy, addictive. * Naengmyun (cold + spicy) - refreshingly chewy and a lifesaver between meat waves. * Soybean paste stew -- warm, savory, and a killer pairing with the pork. Inside is spacious, clean, and stylish, with enough room for a big group without feeling packed. And the free parking with validation at KTP is a straight-up blessing - no Ktown parking games here. But the real MVPs? The staff. Super attentive, helped with the grilling, gave great recommendations, and kept everything smooth even with our big group. This spot is legit. A must-visit. Come hungry, come with friends, and don't sleep on the beef/ pork combo -- trust me.

I always used to go to the Mountain Cafe on 6th street to eat abalone porridge and chicken ginseng soup. And I heard that they relocated and also added KBBQ to their menu. So I went with about 4 of my friends and the beef combo menu with cold noodles was plenty! The meat quality was spectacular and definitely worth every penny. Honestly, for their quality, I was shocked at my bill because I thought it was going to be way more expensive! They give you plenty of great meat, food, and amazing service. I’m definitely coming again as I had the BEST rib eye and marinated short rib here. Their steamed egg is phenomenal and this is definitely the only KBBQ place I will be eating at from now on. P.S. bibim glass noodles 100/10.

WAIT DA FOOD WAS SO FIYA 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I DDIDNT TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS BCZ I WAS BUSY EATING BUT FIYAAAAA!!!! the service was top notch the vibe and OH MY GOSHSHSHSJSHSHSHSBSHSJ THE STEAMED EGG WAS SO GOOD i literally got two orders. if u ever go ITS A MUST!!!!!!!!!

Had no idea they moved over here from their other location! But I love their new concept here with the KBBQ lineup. Great quality meat selections and big portions. Hey, it doesn't have to be AYCE all the time right? Because honestly 2 or 3 rounds and you can stick a fork in me. Haha I did make one special request though and that was their Japchae noodles. Im a huge sucker for Japchae noodles. It's not on the menu but If you ask for it, they'll make it for you. Don't tell them I told you though lol.

Excellent food and excellent service!!! I loved Mountain Noodles so I was excited to try the kbbq and they did not disappoint. Three of us shared the 솥뚜껑 combo and it was plenty of food. The meat quality was amazing, especially the beef. And don't skip the steamed egg!!!

AHH just found one of my new fav KBBQ spots in Ktown!! I always went to Mountain Noodle so it was sad to see it go, but really happy they opened up this new restaurant because the meat is actually a game changer. Even the way they marinate their meat is a love letter to authentic Korean cuisine - tender and juicy that pairs perfectly with the side dishes and sauces!! I'm all for a good marinated onion and cabbage salad - it's the simple things ya know. My friends and I got the Premium Beef Combo for 3, perfect portions as we were 3 people, and they had meats with each their own unique textures and flavors - my personal favorite was the tender beef sirloin and of course, the marinated cuts. I'm no professional when it comes to meat but it literally has that perfectly succulent and fatty premium quality to it that's not too dense or greasy. Would highly recommend getting their side dishes like the classic steamed egg - so silky soft and light - and they also had a mung bean pancake which I LOVEE!! It has that kinda warm, earthy flavor to it with a delicate crisp on the outside and Had to get the soybean paste stew because it goes so well with the meat and it was perfectly seasoned, but we also got the naengmyun noodles (both cold and spicy) which was actually so fire - savory + refreshing + chewy - perfect for the upcoming summer. The inside is pretty spacious and they also have free parking for 3 hours with validation at KTP (a blessing). The menu is also cracked and has so many diverse dishes that can appeal to all palates, trust. Shout out to the service as they were amazing and also very helpful with handling the meats; the people here really are passionate about their cuisine and culture so mad respect to them, and I'll definitely be bringing my family next time!! 진심 모든 것이 ㅈㅁㅌ...이 집 잘함

Amazing quality meat, free parking (in this economy?!), servers cook the meat for you, dishes from all previous Mountain (San) locations, what else can you ask for? Def recommend to go w friends and family! The food is also MSG free, was told that they use apples and pears to sweeten everything instead of cane sugar!

I’ve never been more impressed with a Korean barbecue restaurant. Peng has been my long-standing favorite that menu spot, and Sean Kirby has been my number one take out spot. But this place both blows them both out of the water. Everything in the menu is intentional here. From the lack of added MSG in their side dishes, they use a fruit juice in their name and broth, and the intentionality of the slightly thicker cut of meat allows the meat to soak up the marinade more evenly. The gyeranjjim (steamed egg) is nothing to overlook, because it’s not nearly as salty or inconsistent as many others restaurants. I really liked the sauces they had, especially the sweet garlic dip, apparently all made in house. They have a sweet and somewhat spicy marinade with onions and jalapeños similar to Baekjeong that is set apart by a sly hint of wasabi. Each item on the set was placed intentionally in its order. There was even thought that went into the charcoal used in the grill and the type of grill that was used for each meat. They’re also trying out glass noodles that are typically found in Korean japchae in their bibimyun, which gives the dish a new element of chewiness that’s lost on thinner noodles. The ambience of the spot makes it a great place for a first date, a night out with friends, or dinner with your family. They are stocked with a healthy amount of Soju and beer, so this is the perfect place for a weekend night out. But if you’re driving, good news! It’s located super conveniently in Koreatown Plaza, so validation gets you three hours of parking for free. This place is in the heart of Koreatown and combines, my other most frequent restaurant mount noodles with this new Korean barbecue set menu. All the menu items from Mountain Noodle are still available here but with the twist that you can enjoy them alongside a healthy heaping of Korean barbecue. The spot is for Korean palates created by Korean palates, so don’t expect any of the overly sweet, greasy mainstream stuff at most other Korean restaurants.
