First off service is EXCELLENT. Staff is always paying attention. It's a nice family casual vibe with menus you scan upon seating. The drinks made my mouth water as I read through the list! Got the grape-aid but will definitely get the iced plum or Jeju orange. Pork Catsu curry comes out sizzling on a plate atop a bed of cheese and you pour the gravy over yourself. Bestie the cutlet is a mound of rice with a perfect ANIME egg just beautiful sitting and waiting to be poked to drizzle. This was a delightful meal and definitely satisfied my munchies. read more

Our first time here and we enjoyed everything! The food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. The service was impeccable. I would suggest not ordering their lemonade drink. It's super sweet!! We asked if they could dilute it down with seltzer water, but they did not have any. We would return to this place as it is one of our new favorites! read more

I came here for dinner one evening and found the place warm and welcoming. The store is decorated well and features a colorful menu. Food options are plenty with items coming out very quick after ordering. My friend and I shared some rice cakes, a cold noodle dish (which was a bit spicier than I had expected) but still delicious. Fun place for some faster street food like dishes! read more

My friend and I stopped by for lunch and ordered the T1 Moon Spicy Rice Cake (tteok-bokki) along with the chicken katsu. Service was fairly quick, and the ambience was simple--nothing particularly memorable. We shared both dishes. The chicken katsu itself was nicely prepared, but the accompanying sauces were underwhelming and not really to my taste. The tteok-bokki, on the other hand, was well made and genuinely enjoyable. Overall, it's a pretty solid spot, and I'd come back to try more of their menu. read more

This place is great for lunch as food comes out fast. They also offer a good selection of drinks like Dalgona coffee and sparling ade. Two of us sat down and ordered Tuna Mayo Kimbap $8.99 and Beef Brisket Spicy Rice cake $18.99. It was just enough food, no leftover. It's a solid meal for the price. read more

I had a great lunch at Moon's kitchen this past weekend! The two of us split a ham gimbap ($8), jjajang udon rice cakes ($18), and a pork katsu cheese curry ($16) - this was a LOT of food! The restaurant was quite busy on a Saturday at 3pm. The ham gimbap was very generous sized - excellent and a great way to start the meal. The tteokboki portion was huge, and it came out on a hot plate. I thought the jjajang flavor was excellent and went well with the udon, fish cakes, and rice cakes. The pork katsu came out in a cast iron with sizzling cheese. The breading and fry on the katsu was excellent - and it was so yummy with the melted cheese. The curry comes on the side so that the katsu stays nice and crispy. Overall, we had a great meal at this restaurant. I would definitely come back. There's lots of parking in the strip mall, and it's only a 10 minute walk from the new Federal Way light rail station!! read more

I was craving some Korean street food and made the genius decision to try Moon's Kitchen out. We had their tteokbokki and added gimmari (seafood roll), spicy tuna mayo cupbap, and tonkatsu. Everything was seasoned well and the tonkatsu was so crunchy and juicy. The tteokbokki was tasty but the Rick cakes were a touch over done. Otherwise, it was the exact flavor I hoped for. The vibes hit the spot as well, with the lively and fun music playing. The staff were all friendly and service was quick. I look forward to going back and trying more things! read more

It's a so-so place overall, but they do have some solid Korean hot dishes that are comforting and filling. The katsu was good and probably my favorite thing I tried.

The food is great! I tried the bulgogi and tuna kimbap. Both were great. I usually don't prefer cucumbers in kimbap but they julienne the cucumbers and soak them in salt or something so it's not just a raw piece of cucumber. So it's quite nice. The kimbap as are quite large and make a great appetizer. I've tried both the pork and chicken katsu. Both tasted great but I preferred the chicken. The breading was much more crisp and airy. The spicy jjolmyun was one of my favorites. It is quite spicy and the noodles are so chewy. The Sophie slushy was good but I missed the rice part of it which wouldn't work in a slushy. Nice flavor though. The restaurant is spacious and has chair and booth seating. The chairs are the type where you can open the top and put your purse or coat in. Service to order was quick. The food came out one at a time but if you're eating family style it works out. read more

Food was delicious at this locally owned small business. The service was slow as they were understaffed but they did try their best. Clean restaurant and overall pretty modern. This is a casual dining experience. The individual hot pot was filling, I recommend T2 the Brisket with Spicy Ricecake. Two people can easily share one order. Pork Katsu Cheese Curry was also delicious. Moon's Udon was good but nothing special..served in a light dashi broth. Good value, will be back when I'm in the area. read more

A cozy shop with delicious Korean street food and it's just as good as when I was in S.Korea As much as I want to give it a higher rate I couldn't get over the amount of fruit flies there were. It was a bit of a nuisance of them flying in my face the entire time For service - our waitress is very friendly and sweet it did get slightly busier and she was the only one running around taking everyone's order and bringing the food out. One thing about my meal was I asked for instant noodles with my spicy brisket rice cake. (which was yummy) She however informed me that it already comes with it and when it came out it did not come with noodles. We also ordered the chicken katsu - the portion for this was huge, very juicy and crispy I enjoyed this Overall if you're in the mood for some Korean street food and price is fair this would be the place to visit. I will most likely be ordering this as a take out since I was very bothered by the fruit flies. read more

Had high hopes of this place but was disappointed with the service and food. The server was very busy and impatient throughout the dining experience. She was more concerned about wanting to turn off the fire as soon as the soup came out. I thought the point of the "hot pot" is so the ingredients are continuing cooking throughout. I understand that the majority of the ingredients are pretty much cooked when they came out of the kitchen, but I usually prefer my rice cakes to cook longer to soak in the flavors and the cabbage to be softer as well. It would have been nice if she had asked whether we would like to turn off the fire or not rather than just stormed in, turned it off, and walked away without us even realizing what happened. The soup itself is rather unimpressive, maybe it could have been better if we ordered the spicy type. The gimbap is what I'm most disappointed with. I think the presentation look very nice but it's lacking any flavors, I think even the hmart gimbap are more favorable and tasted better than these. Also when we checked out, the server unexpectedly charged another additional item on our bill by mistake. Make sure you double check your bill before you pay. Place does come with a huge parking lot which is nice, but I would have rather gone to the Korean restaurant next door instead. read more

Moon’s Kitchen - T3 soup with gimbap - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Moon's Kitchen nails the balance between fast service and flavorful comfort food in a clean, modern Asian setting that feels both fresh and welcoming. The minimalist decor, accented with wood and warm lighting, creates a calm and casual vibe that's perfect for a quick lunch or relaxed dinner. I ordered the GoongJoong tteok-bokki and was pleasantly surprised; it's not the heavy, spicy version, but it had a light, sweet soy glaze with just enough seafood aroma to keep it interesting without overpowering. Delicate, balanced, and super easy to keep eating. The real standout was the bulgogi cupbap. Perfectly portioned layers of tender beef, fluffy rice, pickled daikon, and a touch of creamy mayo made every bite taste just as good as the first. It's rare to find a dish that feels so consistent and satisfying all the way through. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to--and recommending. Quick, tasty, and thoughtfully done. read more

We got the Kimbap, rice cakes, and cold chewy noodles. The rice cakes seemed watered down, same goes for the cold chewy noodles. We'd come back here if it was the only place open late. The food wasn't bad, but if we're going to spend money we'd rather spend it somewhere else. read more

A recent regular of this place and is easily my go to place for weekday work lunch! The bulgogi gimbaps have GREAT filling to rice ratio. Great option to get lunch within reasonable prices especially with this economy. My rainy day lunch is Moon's udon with a bulgogi add on-- the torched bulgogi adds a nice smoky touch. The service is always wonderful from the quiet and efficient young lady to the friendly and attentive young man. For those who like soju, the nights are slow but peaceful-- great place to enjoy a quiet night out. Definitely am still frequenting! read more

My husband and I finally checked out Moon's Kitchen a cozy little Korean spot I've been seeing everywhere, and I heard they specialize in different tteokbokki hot pots. And since we are HUGE tteokbokki lovers... say less, we were there! We went on a Friday evening around 6-7 PM, and surprisingly it wasn't too packed yet, so we got seated pretty quickly! perfect timing after work. We ordered the prime brisket tteokbokki hot pot, tuna gimbap, and the sweet potato side (that one was meh for me a bit too oily, I'd skip next time). The tuna gimbap was simple and so good! We want to get the other gimbap next time we go there! For drinks, I had the strawberry matcha, and hubby tried the mango highball and green tangerine, the green tangerine was actually bomb. Food was good, prices were solid, and service they were attentive and friendly the whole time. We're definitely coming back to try more, because the menu had so many other hot pot options calling my name If you love tteokbokki or Korean comfort food, Moon's Kitchen is worth a visit. read more

I still miss when this spot was Youngwol Noodle so I have been hesitant to come back to this old space. I tried the tteokbokki with brisket and the gimbap with ham.

Last minute decided to come here for lunch and it was so worth it. This place is now one of my new fave top spots. There was no wait for lunchtime and service was super friendly! I love how they have a large drink menu with alc and non alc options- their grape ade was delicious and reminded me of the drinks we had in the cafes in Seoul. Their menu has so many options I wanted to try so many things. We got brisket and rose tteokbokki - I love how it comes in a heated pot tho remember to keep stirring! The tteokbokki was so tasty- probably the best I've had in PNW area- super fluffy! We also got tuna Kimbap which was delicious. For sides I got the fried seaweed wrap and sweet potato cheese rolls- both super tasty and perfect to dip in the tteokbokki. We also got a pork katsu for my daughter and she loved it. Portions are so generous- I'm excited to visit again even tho we don't live near federal way! read more

This is a newer Korean restaurant in Federal Way that I only heard about through social media foodies, and my group of 3 went over to try here on a Friday night around 6pm. This place has tons of seating for mostly large groups though I could see the place getting full during peak hours given vids I had already seen of foodies being here. The menu is pretty simple; it has tteokbokki, gimbap, noodle soups, dumplings and katsu. Our waiter was pretty attentive to us overall, though overall service was quite slow even with a large party sitting close to us. My friends and I got their pan-fried pork dumplings and their Moon's pork katsu dish. The dishes took maybe about half an hour altogether to come out, which did affect our experience a little this time around. Looking past that, the dumplings were tasty and well-pan-fried, and the meat on the pork katsu was long, huge, plentiful and juicy all at once. :) We also ordered Moon's gimbap with ham (and the rice in) though our order also came with bulgogi gimbap, so we wondered how we had two kinds of gimbap when we only ordered one kind. One of my friends actually ordered a bulgogi cupbap (rice bowl) instead and realized our waiter misheard his order. Portions were huge and bountiful enough for my friend to share my food with me, but this did negatively affect his experience in particular. It also took a little while for us to get our check since we had to flag down our waiter for it. I still loved my experience here regardless and see tons of potential for this place even when handling larger crowds. read more

It was their grand opening but not enough workers working so service was super slow. They only had 1 guy working as a waiter but later another waiter showed up. I was hoping their spicy rice cake was good but it wasn't. The rice cake was too soft & spicy sauce tasted different. Our fave was the spicy noodles. I would return just for that. Spicy pork bowl was good, too. Their portions are on the small side so you have to order more if you're hungry. read more

Happy we decided on this new spot, since there are way too many choices of Korean restaurants in the area it was getting hard to choose. The food we ordered was great considering the men in my life don't care too much for anything katsu. However we ordered to share the regular "pork katsu" and "pork katsu cheese curry". To my surprise...at first bite, I could've sworn I saw hearts and stars coming from their eyes!! They were instantly in love with "lightly crisp texture of the batter" and very "tasty" from what I heard. They liked it so much that I was told, "whatever you don't finish I'll finish it for you". If you only knew...that meant a lot to me. Lol! The service was very welcoming and friendly. They were also pretty quick. The place is cute and clean too. read more

As a Korean American, I have pretty high standards for Korean food and this place is just okay. The Kimbap was the highlight of the meal -- the ratio of rice to filling was excellent and the ingredients tasted fresh. The fish cake soup had a generous amount of seafood but the flavor was super underwhelming yet too salty. The katsu was not good. You can tell from my picture that the breading is dark -- it was overcooked so the meat was dry. Again, the portions were generous though but I prefer quality over quantity. read more

Cute spot for some hot steamy tteokbokki. Simple yet with bolt taste. Looks spicy hot but it's temperature hot instead. Good selections. From tteokbokki to gimbap. The seafood creamy udon was so good. Love the deep fried mochi inside. The young lady probably the owner checking with us from time to time. We will go back and try other stuff next time. read more

I was really excited to try Moon's Kitchen given the stellar reviews, but my takeout order was not good. I ordered the seafood udon, and found it to have a very fishy odor which makes me question the freshness of ingredients used. I'd like to come back to try a different dish to see if it's any better. However, after my initial impression, it's not a place I would go out of my way to try again any time soon. read more

I went during their grand opening and it was so busy! Luckily we didn't have to wait too long to get in, though it took some time for our food to get out. I got the tonkatsu! It came with a side of rice, salad and a corn salad. I think the tonkatsu was a little dry and slightly cold due to being out for a minute. Despite that, it was still fairly good and a good experience overall. I will say it was crowded inside because of the tables being so close to each other and it being so busy. read more

Our food order tonight was based on our usual liking and the dish prior to tonight was consistently the same from prior visits. Well tonight was maybe an off night because we ordered 3 of the same dish and it was not the same as before. Very disappointed that the curry was watery and not spicy considering we ordered #2 in spice level. The fried dumplings were delish as well as the bulgogi cupbap and the Dalgona coffee. I think we may choose differently our favorite curry dish next time. read more

The service was immediate; my husband and I got here at the perfect time before the crazy lunch rush. The waiter working was so sweet and quick and very efficient! We ordered 3 dishes to share, and my most favorite I had to say was the Tteokbokki. I've had rose tteokbokki before but this spot made it so creamy and not too thick!!! The sauce was such a perfect taste that I can't really describe it. Some rose sauces taste a little too milky or too tomatoey but this one was the best I've had so far! I suggest added the brisket or any side of meat to it; I wanna try it with the pork next time but this was a solid combo. The Gimbap was also so fresh; it didn't fall apart despite the amount of filing you get with it. My husband loved his Katsu; he gave it a a 4/5. The meat was thick, juicy but he says the meat was still slightly tough. The breading was PERFECT, but the curry sauce he gave a 3/5. Personally I would've loved smaller cuts but that doesn't take away from the taste. As for the ambiance it got louder since it was the lunch rush and the space is a little compact but I loved it; it felt cozy and homey and was a super clean space. The service was amazing, welcoming and friendly. read more

My mom and I visited here as we love trying out new Korean restaurants and we saw that this restaurant serves bunsik (affordable and convenient) foods and drinks. They opened up not too long ago so I am aware that they may still be trying to figure out everything. We arrived and were greeted by the cashier/waitress who politely let us know we can sit anywhere we like. There were three tables occupied but there was plenty of seating for parties of all sizes. They even have chairs from South Korea where you can lift the seat to store in your personal belongings such as jackets, bags, etc to ensure no spills or messes occur and you have no worries about it being stolen. The waitress brought us menus and then asked if we wanted hot tea or water, we opted for the hot tea which was comforting and perfect for the windy and wet day. The inside is bright and the decorations are minimalistic but whimsical with cute Korean street food art with some floral plants at the front. We ordered their egg cupbap, milmyeon, and jolmyun which also comes with a free ham kimbap (you can use if the rice is in or out, but you can only have ham as the option). It took quite a bit of time to receive our order despite being the only table that came in on a Thursday afternoon and no take out orders were taken. We received our cupbap first, then got the ham kimbap. After another couple minutes, we got our noodle dishes. The food was all delicious but nothing to real amazing or memorable but just a simple satisfying meal. The service declined after we received our meal as we only got checked in on once while other patrons got checked on more frequently. I don't know if we would return and I know many other reviewers complain about the portion and cost of the tteokbokki but looking at the pictures and ingredients it seems pretty justified. In general the portion sizes seem a bit small for the price paid for and it seems to take some time, which other reviewers mention too. Hopefully after some time, the service will improve and I would like to check in to try their drinks and other offerings. read more

New Korean restaurant to try in federal way! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. We had their Thin Slider Beef Brisket Spicy Ricecake, Pork Katsu, and Korean Chewy Noodle. All of the food tasted good. Unfortunately for the Korean Chewy Noodle, there wasn't much protein to the dish. The Tteobokki dish portioning wasn't good for the price of it ($20). For the month of March, they give a free Kim Bap with a purchase more than $20. The service was okay. I can't say too much because the restaurant recently opened and I went during a really busy time. It made sense that it took time for our order to get processed and for our food to come out. The servers were nice though. The ambiance was good. There's plenty of seating inside. It's nicely organized and has some cute decorations throughout the restaurant. Overall, a nice new Korean restaurant to try. Not too if I'd come back due to pricing and portioning. read more
