Moa Korean BBQ began as a small family-run restaurant in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, founded by Chef Jinwoo Park, whose dream was to share the authentic spirit of Korean grilling culture. With the passing of time, Moa Korean BBQ became a local favorite — the kind of place where sizzling sounds, smoky aromas, and laughter filled the air. As its reputation grew, so did its reach, expanding across California with a loyal following.
The Moa Korean BBQ menu evolved from traditional cuts and homemade marinades to a diverse range of premium meats, seafood, and fusion bites that blend old flavors with modern flair.
What many don’t know is that Moa also hides a secret menu — featuring off-menu cuts and spicy house specials known only to regulars.
Yet, through all its growth, the original marinated short rib remains the heart of the Moa experience — a timeless favorite that started it all.
