My experience at Mapo BBQ was confusing if I were to describe it in words, but I left feeling content and satisfied. This was my first time visiting Mapo BBQ. I came here w my boyfriend, and we were seated immediately. While the store was not packed, it had a decent amount of people inside, and the servers were booked and busy. We were seated, and it took up about 10 minutes to decide what we'd like to eat. We then spent about another 10 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. While we'd make eye contact constantly with the workers, no one approached us. My boyfriend had to really wave someone down before they finally paid us any attention. The service is extremely hit or miss here. While some workers were nice, others were extremely disengaged. I also wouldn't say that the nice servers were particularly nice either, they did what they needed to. Extremely straight to the point service. While we had high expectations for the meat, we were still pleasantly surprised. The portions sizes were much larger than what we expected to see, and what we normally pay for , for the standard price. My boyfriend and I ordered 2 meats from the charcoal grill section, and we struggled to finish between the two of us. The meat was extremely tender and soft. It had great flavor and there were so many side dishes to eat it with. I would say I've definitely had better eggs and tofu stew, those could use more work, but still a pleasant experience. We were pretty content with our experience. While the service was lackluster at best, the servers worked fast and efficiently. Definitely appreciated for when we are hungry and eager to eat. They get the job done, no frills attached. Definitely not the type of restaurant you'd come to for the service experience. We were extremely satisfied with the portion sizes, price, as well as the quality of food for everything. We would definitely be back. TLDR; servers get the job done, no frills attached, good food, prices and portion sizes. Recommended!

A bit pricey, but Mapo's Korean beef is really good. The sides are also plentiful in variety.

Love Korean food and my favorite is Naengmyeon, so refreshing, it definitely helped after eating the grilled beef! The ban chan they gave were really good and so many options along with steamed eggs & zucchini soup. The beef was so tender and I love wrapping with lettuce, the sauce, Kim chi and garlic, perfect combo! Had soju too to celebrate a bday, the staff was very attentive and everything came out pretty quick! I'll be back cause the flavors were on point and really enjoyed the meal!

Service: 0.5/10 lol but I do not care about that. The food is at least a 9/10, putting it at an 8.7/10 to accommodate price point. Best banchans in a Korean restaurant I've ever had and the traditional meats like spicy fish and beef ribs were delectable. You can tell it doesn't taste like a $400 cut but it's incredibly delicious for the everyday cut. This is fantastic and an upgrade to the middle class Korean dining experience. Do be wary though they actually do discriminate against non-Koreans. I had to say "I want this" as my order 3 times when the waitress said "no, you're not Korean." And they do serve Korean patrons their food first lmao. I'd honestly give it a 5* for food but I will tone it down to a 4* just to warn others that the service and attitude of the staff might get to you. If you don't care, this place is amazing.
