   I made a reservation online for a 5:30 PM Mother's Day meal with my family. The restaurant wasn’t particularly crowded at that time, so it was pretty quiet. (I have limited hearing so that was nice.) The server was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We had lots of sides and several types of beef and Tiger prawns. We ended up getting dessert as well. That was equally delicious! We have visited this restaurant before, so we knew it would be great. The staff/ owners are always very attentive and friendly. The quality of the food and the whole experience is always top notch!

   We had the absolute best experience Saturday evening! It was packed – University of South Carolina graduation (and prom and Mother’s Day weekend). Our server - Alex - was fantastic. She made the night so fun. The food was amazing. None of us had ever experience Korean barbecue before we chose the cook at the table option and it made for such a great night. Highly recommend. Huge kudos to Alex!

   The attentive servers and our ability to enjoy a celebratory meal without having to shout across the table made this a very enjoyable experience. We were seated early for our reservation, and the staff were patient with our first-time patron questions. It is certainly a place we’ll look to again

   Food was great, however the experience was pretty poor overall. Our service was slow and our server would hardly check in on us. After we had food delivered to our table we sat there waiting for 15 mins for our server to come back and tell us he would cook it. He forgot our drinks and I couldn’t even order more because he would leave before anyone could ask anything. They also forgot my cousins food and then brought the wrong item out another 15 mins later. Overall a very frustrating experience considering we had to pay auto gratuity of 20% for an expensive meal. As a server myself I would not have left a great tip based on our servers attitude, and lack of care. Our server clearly checked out the minute he knew he wouldn’t have to work for his tip.

   I took my daughter and SIL for my SIL’s Birthday dinner and was very happy we chose MOA. It was a great dining experience and the food so delicious. The meats so tender, flavorful and cooked just as we asked. Our server was very friendly, helpful and attentive. It was a very busy night due to the Women’s final basketball game and our server and manager were very concerned about length of time of the progression of our meal. We appreciated this but honestly we enjoyed the time together and the pace of our meal. Oh and such a fun Birthday dessert surprise ( not the actual one because of a nut allergy but the candle! ) We highly recommend and would definitely return. h

    Our server really made the night. It was our first time, and he gave us a an amazing breakdown/crash course on all things MOA. If we didn’t have him I don’t know what I would have done. The inside was stunning and the food was delicious! 100% recommend
