    Located in a shopping center Moon's Kitchen has easy access to parking spaces. Walking in it looks kind of drab and outdated. The menu is straight forward and easy to navigate. The price point IMO is on the higher side for the quality of food I received. The service again IMO was lack luster, I felt like even though the server did a good job, she didn't want to be there serving us. She crossed tithe T's and dotted her I's but that's it. The food was a solid C- The food was sweet did not taste fresh and looked like it was thrown together with leftovers. The Chinese salad was pretty much shredded lettuce with a dressing on top. Overall the food reminded me of old people food, if you know what I mean, aka we came here to eat because the food is inexpensive and we don't care about the quality, because I lost my tastebuds" except in this case the food was also overpriced. To be fair... I did like their mushrooms but honestly that was about it. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately for me it's not my cup of tea.

    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.

    Super clean restaurant and very friendly staff. The food was amazing and the portion size for lunch was great. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

    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

It's been great to see them grow with additional locations while maintaining the same high standards. The food is consistently fresh, the banchan is plentiful and well made, the restaurant is spotless, and the prices are very reasonable. The service is always warm and friendly, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about the restaurant and the experience they provide. This visit we ordered the bibim naengmyeon and the old-style bulgogi--two dishes that aren't as easy to find at many Korean restaurants that tend to focus on BBQ meats and pancakes (which Danbi also does well). Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. Next time we'll definitely be back to try the tofu soups. We also had the chance to chat with the current manager, who is in the process of taking over ownership. She was incredibly sweet, and her excitement, pride, and commitment to the restaurant really came through. It's wonderful to see someone so invested in preserving what has made Danbi special for so many years. We're so happy to have a great, casual, family-friendly Korean restaurant in South San Jose, and it's nice to see Danbi continuing to grow with a Los Gatos location as well. We'll definitely keep coming back.

The rice cakes were enjoyable as well. The seafood tofu soup was decent and surprisedly didn't taste too spicy for a medium spice level. I think the marbled beef brisket could have had a better flavor and I wished the onions were more grilled.
