Came on a Sun around 2pm for a party of 3. There was about a 20 min wait. Great food, no complaints! We ordered the Soy Garlic Chicken (half size), Creamy Rose Spicy Rice Cake, and Beef Short Rib Stew. The chicken and rice cake were both very flavorful while the beef short rib stew was light (just how we like it). Portions are pretty big so careful not to over order. We had left over chicken and rice cake to box up! Service nice and attentive.

Everything was great! The ambiance, the service, and the food. Had the spicy galbi jim, cold buckwheat noodles, spicy beef soup, fried chicken wings, and the bossom. I wish the child buckwheat was ice cold and the cheese on the galbi jim was torched.

Food is great. Ambiance is great. Try the red rose pasta it's pretty fire. Service is pretty solid. Highly recommend this place as it's on my list of the best in the bay.

Loved the service and fantastic soup here! We had the pork bone casserole, rose tteokbokki, & blood sausage. All delicious and super super filling. We ordered these 3 dishes for the 3 of us and had sooo many leftovers (could've fed 4-5!) Rose tteokbokki - My favorite dish & I've come back to order it twice since then. The rice cakes are noodle-like and deliciously chewy coated in the creamy sauce This dish has a kick to it and really brought the spice!! Parking was difficult since we came on a Saturday but there is a small lot in front of the store. Overall the spot has yummy foods for a late night dinner or hot soups for a rainy day! I would definitely come back

My family's favorite K restaurant in Oakland. Today instead of Bonsam, we ordered the sausage soup coming with Sundae, just like the ones tasted in Seoul. MBR never disappoints you!

Good food, good people, good place, I would recommend ?. The creamy rose rice cake noodles are my favorite!! They have the perfect balance of chewy, savory and flavor. Me and my girlfriend comes here all the time and is one of our favorite Korea spots.

As soon as we came in we got seated right away which is good cause we were starving. Banchan(side dishes) super good specially the kimchi. We ordered NaengMyeon (11/10), Assorted Pork Soup (7.5/10) and Half and Half chicken— Yang Nyum?&Soy Garlic (10/10). All in all our experience was great because of the good ambience and comforting food. ?
Got the spicy beef soup and the yangnyum chicken. Portions were very generous and the amount of spice was perfect. Bouncy glass noodles and extremely crispy chicken!

It was yummy and a great experience. I came with three people and we got the spicy short rib in Medium and the soy garlic chicken. The portions were huge and very generous. Even for three people, we couldn’t finish the short rib but were glad to take it home. The service was exceptional as well and our waitress was very attentive. There was no line at 4pm on Sunday and the food came out quick.

For quite some time now, I have been searching for a place that serves rose tteokbokki and bossam as good as I had it during my visit to Korea. Moo Bong Ri does just that, and they do it so well! For our rose tteokbokki, we added bacon and extra rice cakes. It is so creamy and flavorful that it’s honestly addicting. I love that they give you huge servings of pickled cabbage along with your bossam.

Had the pork backbone stew and crispy fried chicken which were both mid..Service was severely lacking. Decor feels like a Midwestern Western holiday inn. Meh all around.
