    Chicken Gui Bento
    Lily W.

    I've tried August Moon about four times now, and I really want to love it.. but every time, I end up leaving feeling like the food is just okay for the price. The staff and service are always amazing, and the atmosphere and cleanliness are great, so I truly wish the food matched the rest of the experience. I've tried several dishes here: their sushi rolls, Bibim Bap, the bento box with Gui chicken, and another bento box with teriyaki salmon. Everything is decent, but nothing has really wowed me so far. For what I pay, I just expect a little more flavor and value. I might give it another try someday since the people and service are so wonderful, but for now, it's a solid three stars from me.

    A friend and I decided to meet here for lunch and catch up. It's a fairly spacious place that gets about 10 - 15 guests during the lunch hour. Unfortunately, there was only one waitress who was also the host which was a bit difficult for getting attention when needed but she made it work for the most part. Food was quite tasty and i got some spicy sauce on the side to kick it up a notch.

    Nice service and interior, servant is very friendly. Korean cuisines and side dishes are authentic and delicious

    August Moon is a very well-decorated place. We are impressed by its classy vibe and the whole restaurant looks very clean. Food and service are both decent. The only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is its price--I find it a little pricy. My Stone Bibimbap is $18-it's mainly rice with a little bit meat and vegetables on top; my husband's chicken Katsu is $26; with one soda and tip, we walked out with a bill of $60. It's not overly expensive, but within this price range, there are many options for sure.

    Dined here for lunch on the 14th of March, 2023. Parking: a private lot Atmosphere: open and bright with cool Asian figurines. Service: April was very helpful. Cocktail: cosmopolitan. It was good. Food: 1. Edemmame. You can't go wrong with these, so I enjoyed them. 2. A tuna roll, I think, with avocado. It was ok. The roll was falling apart, and that's never good. 3. Spring rolls. They were fried just right and crispy. I would have liked a dipping sauce. 4. A seafood combo bowl with shrimp and mussels and served in a bowl that came out sizzle hot like fajitas. I believe there was other seafood, but I can't remember. I wasn't a fan of how it came in that sizzling bowl because it made the rice a little hard. The flavor level was low. Overall, the experience was ok. I will come back to try something different.

    Seafood teriyaki

    Absolutely fantastic experience and food every single time. We ordered: Mandoo soup (no picture) Miso soup (no picture) Polar bear roll (no picture) Godzilla roll Seafood teriyaki Stone bowl bibimbap (seafood) Soon doo boo (vegan) Pork gui Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and I tried everything and it was all fantastic. The service is top notch and the restaurant is family owned and operated. If you're looking for authentic Korean food and high quality sushi outside of the city--this is your spot. Also, easy parking in the lot and a short distance from the norristown transportation center. Full bar including sake as well as a comfortable atmosphere.

    Food was ok. Service was decent and the ambiance was good. The food was a little too pricey for what we got and the bibimbop was more rice than actual meat in it.

    Sashimi bibimbop

    Everything is so fresh and good . Though I usually get the same thing everytime . Been coming here with my family for years now. Service is always great, and it's nice enough for a quiet date night .

    Seafood Scallion Pa Jun
    Percy N.

    Stopped in for a mid-week late lunch at the redesigned August Moon. While I was the only customer around 2pm, I am sure the service would have been just as friendly and efficient. I started with a seafood pa chun (pajeon), courtesy of a Yelp checkin. It was freshly make with large pieces of squid, shrimp and scallions. Next, I wanted to try the sashimi as I am always looking for good sushi places in the Burbs. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of Tuna, Salmon, Fluke and Macekrel. In fact, I got the first cut of the Tuna and the fish was so fresh, it could give Bluefin a run for its money. I am eager to go back and try more sushi to ensure consistency. The price for my lunch Sashimi plater was just $9 for 12 or more pieces. I also got some Bul Go Gi to go which I had for dinner. Was not blown away by it, but that could be because it was sitting in the container for a bit. As a nice bonus, the decor (including bathrooms) was nice and Morinoto like and super clean. Will be back to try more Sushi and Korean BBQ.

    Still the best! The dishes here are executed perfectly and the best in the area as it relates to…read moreboth flavor and quality. Plus the portions are very generous and the prices extremely reasonable. Be sure to grab a pancake, the gamtang or army stew, a classic dolsot bibimbap and a galbi. While the cooking is done in the kitchen, the galbi quality and flavoring cannot be beat - and the portion is quite generous especially given it is less than $30! The team here is absolutely wonderful and incredibly kind. We had 2 babies with us and they were welcoming, accommodating, and even helped to keep them entertained. It has been quite a number of years for me and I no longer live in the area but we will be back every time we come to visit my family. This is a true gem and you can see that this is a go-to for locals as the patrons are all on a first name basis with the team. If you are craving Korean, this needs to be your first stop!
