    My family has been coming here for over 25 years. Great fresh food served with love. Small restaurant but worth the wait if there is one.

    Excellent. $95 well spent and the service is excellent. They're friendly :) it was my partner's first time here and enjoyed the food. he even liked the salad here!

    Lunch 2 item Bento box (Chicken breast teriyaki & crunchy California Roll) comes with chicken salad, rice, and soup.

    I can't believe this was my first time trying Moon's Kitchen. It's been around a very long time which is always a good sign. I don't live in the area but family does and they have always given it good reviews. I called in my order and opted for the Combination I which came with chicken salad, shrimp and vegetable tempura, rice and teriyaki chicken. It's not cheap at $19.95 but what is cheap anymore?? It was worth the price, I gotta say. The shrimp tempura were my fav, they were almost pounded thin and flat with just the right amount of tempura. It came with tempura dipping sauce or ranch and I honestly liked both. Teriyaki chicken was really good and on point. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the chicken salad was, so simple but flavorful. I even had leftovers so that $20 meal was two meals for me! I will DEFINITELY return to Moons to try a few other items on their menu. I gobbled up my food so quickly when I got home but I managed to snap a pic of the inside dining room while waiting. Quaint little place that was pretty busy on this Friday night. Great option if looking for Japanese food plus a little more.

    Their food was pretty good! Not amazing, but it's somewhere I'd go to again if I am in the area. I ordered unagi, and it was very soft and flavorful. It was a good pairing with miso soup and the salad they serve on the side.

    This nice employee wouldn't let my pregnant wife use restroom. Of course I'll buy food during business hours.

From the moment we walked in, everyone was super polite and super friendly, making us feel right at home after a long drive. The food was absolutely incredible. The chewy rice cake had the perfect texture, and the soup was super tasty, rich, and comforting -- exactly what you hope for when craving real Korean food. Everything tasted super authentic, like a home-cooked meal rather than restaurant food. Honestly, this is probably the most authentic Korean food in the Bay Area we've had in a long time. Love love love it, and we will definitely plan our next trip around stopping here again!

Was comforting and really flavorful. I would order this again. SPICY PORK BIBIMBAP HOT STONE 8.5/10- yum!! I loved how crispy the rice got at the bottom FRIED CHICKEN 8/10 - classic, came with radish and some cabbage with sauce. chicken wasn't dry SEAFOOD PANCAKE 8/10 - a little thicker than what i prefer but it was still crispy and paired well with the sauce it came with. BEEF SHORT RIB 6.5/10- I'm already not a short rib person, but it was decent. I thought it was quite expensive for the portion that we got. Not sure if I would order this again --- AMBIANCE --- bright, clean, cozy

    This place is our favorite! Everything is sooooo good, you can't go wrong…read more We always get the Old Style Bulgogi and the Meat Jun, and they never disappoint. The Meat Jun is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender--I can basically eat the whole thing. The Old Style Bulgogi is like a comfort stew, and it tastes super clean. Oh yeah, and the banchan is fantastic--if they got good kimchi, then you know the place is good. Service is always great, and they're so nice and welcoming. Takeout is packaged pretty nicely, even the banchan (although you don't get unlimited...).

    My friend and I were looking for a new place to try after work. This popped up in our Yelp search…read moreand since it was relatively close to both of us, we decided to try it out. We were seated right away on a weekday evening. There were a few tables that were reserved, but other than that - we were able to pick our spot. After looking through the menu, I ordered the bibimbab (rice stone pot) and my friend ordered a tofu soup. We also got the seafood pancake to share. Our side dishes came out first and then the seafood pancake. The banchan was decent - the usual kinds that you get at most Korean restaurants. I liked the cubed radish a lot. The seafood pancake had a good texture to it - cooked well and crispy. The sauce also went nicely with it. My bibimbab looked pretty when it came out. It had a nice sizzle to it and I left it a bit to get crispy (I would have prefered it to be crispier). I liked the red sauce it came with - it gave it a good kick. My friend said her tofu soup was okay - a bit on the saliter side for her and less tofu than what she was used to. Overall, a solid place to have Korean comfort food. The parking lot is shared with a grocery store and other small retail/restaurants and there are plenty of spaces - if you're willing to walk a bit out. We were lucky and able to find parking right in front of Danbi. Service was quick, friendly and efficient.

It was a weekday around 1:00 pm, and the restaurant was already pretty busy when we arrived. We ordered the galbi soup, spicy pork bulgogi, and bibimbap, which turned out to be the perfect amount of food for the three of us. Everything was comforting and satisfying, and came out nice and hot.

    Wow. Amazing Korean food…read more Friendly Korean speaking staff. Top items we enjoyed the most: 1. Japchae with beef. $15, +$3 for beef tofu or other meat. The flavorful noodles with the vegetables were great. 7/5 2. Tonkotsu with cheese. 8/5 Crispy, outside, melted cheese pulling out between pieces. Comes with rice and vinegared tonkatsu sauce. Very impressive. 3. Ban chan. It comes free with the meal and only a very small amount - but each item is very delicious. Salty and crunchy Cucumber kimchee, mild garlicky kimchee, sweet shoyu potatoes, soy beans, and slightly seasoned broccoli. 7/5 4. Toppogi with rice cake $10. 5/5. Satisfying mochi and nice rice cake. May order something else next time: 5. Hot stone bimbimbap. $20 it had lot of great veggies, and the beef on it was great, however, the veggies could have gotten a little more taste and gochujang was slightly thin and a little on the sweeter side. 3.5/5 6.

They also have nuoc beo (fatty broth) available, which makes the pho even richer if you like that extra flavor. On top of that, their fresh juices are really good and a great addition to the meal. For being in Morgan Hill, this place definitely holds its own. If you're craving pho locally and don't want to drive to San Jose, this spot hits the spot.

I have many fond memories of dining here. The food is still excellent. We ordered the tofu and chicken bubbling soup along with the bibimbap, and everything was delicious. The quality of the food is definitely a reason I would return. Unfortunately, the service was very inconsistent. There were two servers during our visit. One was incredibly kind, professional, attentive, and welcoming. She checked on us, offered more side dishes, and was very sweet with my six-year-old son. I even thanked her personally at the end of the meal because her hospitality stood out. The other server, however, made the experience uncomfortable. From the moment we arrived, there was no warm greeting -- we were simply asked how many were in our party. We were seated at a very small table, and when I politely asked if we could move to a larger one since we were ordering multiple dishes with sides and I had my young son with me, she looked visibly annoyed. Throughout the meal, she kept making faces when I asked normal questions about the menu or requested an extra to-go box. These were simple customer requests, and her reactions felt rude and unnecessary. I also noticed that several other reviews mention a woman making faces during service, and based on my experience, I believe this may be the same server. That kind of behavior really affects the dining experience and should be addressed by management. Hospitality matters, especially in a restaurant setting. Good food is important, but customers should also feel welcome and respected. Overall, I would come back because the food was delicious, and the other server was genuinely lovely. However, I hope the owner takes the service concerns seriously. If I return, I would likely ask to be seated with the kind server who made us feel welcome.
