  That was delicious. I enjoyed that more than the first time I went. Admittedly I did not enjoy my first try at this restaurant (here with family for the Korean BBQ). This time I ordered the entree and appetizer directly and wow. It was a much better experience. The entree I believe is enough for two people. The rice was somewhat dry and did dry out after a while. The matcha from Nibl was fantastic. Service was overall fast and the food all came out very quickly after ordering. The restaurant is also very beautiful with a great view of Main Street. If I were to come back I would bring a friend or two.

  Solid dining experience. Great for couples or a group. Preparing your own food creates a unique dining experience that we found quite pleasurable. The server was top notch and readily available to assist. We highly recommend this dining experience. It was our first time. Definitely won't be the last. Make a reservation.

  Everybody needs to have a one-time experience at least once at MOA. I was able to celebrate my birthday with my family and it was an epic experience I would never forget. The staff was very nice and I love the fact that you're able to cook your own food in front of you. It is a very intimate atmosphere.

  Dan and Garrett are some of the best in the Columbia F&B business. We had to wait for our table and got to talking with them at the bar while we got drinks and decided to sit at the bar to eat. They basically chose our meal and it blew me away. Some of the best galbi I’ve ever had. I will absolutely make it a point to eat here when I’m in Columbia. Shout out Dan and Garrett for coordinating such a great dining experience

  Elegant dining room, slightly upscale take on Korean classics. The lunch box was delicious. We chose spicy pork and soup (like a beef consomme with green onion). The japchae was very good. The chef's special dish was a sweet and sour fried chicken. The kimchi was perfect. I really enjoyed our lunch here and will be back for dinner. If I understand correctly, this is owned by the same people who own 929, but I like this restaurant FAR more than 929. If you want something more than mom & pop Korean, I'd choose Moa over 929 any day. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with the classics like Arirang and Korea Garden!
