    Food is fantastic!!!
    Christian R.

    A Hidden Gem in the Mountains! Moons Korean Kitchen is hands-down one of the best surprises tucked away in Kyburz! The food is bursting with flavor -- authentic, comforting, and clearly made with love. We had the bulgogi and kimchi fried rice, and every bite was incredible. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. The owners are so kind and welcoming -- you truly feel like you're being served a home-cooked meal by family. It's rare to find a spot that feels this personal and delicious in such a remote location. Whether you're passing through or planning a trip to the area, make sure to stop here. It's worth the drive. Don't miss it!

    Kimchi Fried Rice - by far the best I ever had 5stars
    Maxine W.

    Price was a bit much but the flavors can't beat. The kimchi fried rice was bomb totally recommended

    Chicken mild spicy fried rice

    Every time I drive through 50 I always noticed this little joint and today we decided to try since we were already fueling up next door and let me tell you!!! I don't know why I never stopped here before sooner , that rice was so fireee and by that I mean it was delicious one of the best fried rice I ever had , the mild spicy definitely has a kick and every bite you take you'll taste few different things! I recommend it!

    Egg drop soup DELICIOUS!   Flavor transcends the dish.

    I've had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant now several times and I've had the pleasure of talking to the owner Mr. Moon himself. Given his small space this man makes his restaurant a very welcoming space and the flavor profiles he can achieve using the most basic of ingredients is nothing short of cooking excellence and passion for the craft! I Highly recommend you stop by if your ever in Silverfork CA on your way to Tahoe that you stop and eat here Mr. Moon won't disappoint. Keep on rocking Mr. Moon you have my support!

    Pork bulgogi and sides (rice not pictured)

    I'm angry. I'm so angry. It's been a few days since I came here. I hadn't had a meal at all that day on my long drive including stops due to exceedingly long lines or just being forgotten about and then I got here. And honestly I cannot blame the hunger for why this is the best Korean food I have ever had--including all the Ktown restaurants in LA It's not much to look at outside, not fancy, easy to pass (unless you're starving, have to pee, and love Asian food) and wow I'm glad I stopped. I ordered the pork bulgogi and I stopped breathing for a moment when I took my first bite of kimchi...hard to find a truly perfect kimchi. This was the best kimchi I ever have had. I had to decline more because I already knew I was going to need a box. The pork bulgogi I did spice level two and it was just spicy enough for me. Why am I angry after a fantastic (and peaceful with the calm music and it being empty while I was then) meal? Because I live 7 hours away. 7 hours. If I ever go back to Tahoe, I'll be back without a doubt.

    Absolutely delicious Korean food in this surprising hole in the wall. The chef was so busy handling everything by himself and there was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. Very casual dining vibe, comfortable and nice after a long day of driving.

    Quick glimpse of the menu.

    We really enjoyed coming here from Lake Tahoe. It's a bit of a drive from Lake Tahoe but the small no frills all taste was definitely worth it. The restaurant has been running for three months and Mr. Moon is a one man show! From speaking to him, he has over 20 years of experience in the restaurant business and he finally made his dream of owning a restaurant a reality. I'm really rooting for him to succeed with this restaurant because he's one of the good guys. Why? The previous restaurant had a no bathroom unless you're a customer policy but Moon has changed that. His reasoning is they are travel quite far to get to Tahoe and people need to go. He also takes care of the neighborhood cats when the owner is out of town. Just a good dude who can cook a mean Korean dish. You have to root for that. We will visit here every time we visit Tahoe. Hopefully his restaurant will gain a lot of traction!

    If you want an excellent, homecooked ramen meal that is obviously made with love, eat at Moon's! If you go there during business hours and the door is locked, that's because he's too busy. I recommend waiting it out, once he gets caught up he'll unlock the door and your dreams of delicious ramen will be fulfilled!

    First time coming here saw a video on TikTok and it looked promising. When we arrived, staff was…read morecourteous and kind and seated us quickly. We ordered the braised beef bowl and the miso bowl as well as the lamb kebabs. The lamb kebabs could've used some more seasoning and I thought there'd be more for the price. The braised beef bowl was pretty good lacked a little bit of seasoning, but noodles were excellent. The miso bowl had meat that looked undercooked it was bright red, and it was kind of small. 20$ a bowl I thought there would be a little bit more broth. Restaurant was clean and the interior was well designed. The only issue I had was the food. The noodles were great, but the broth for both bowls and the kebabs were inconsistent.

Parking can be a bit difficult due to there being many businesses in that same shopping center. As this spot gains popularity, there has been more of a wait during our recent visits but nothing too long! They do have space outside and inside to wait as to not be in the way. Now my favorite foods- the mango lemonade and strawberry lemonades are both tasty but the mango is my personal favorite! The perfect levels of sweetness that still allow for it to be refreshing. I love that it tastes like real fruit and not artificial in any way. The Dan Dan noodles are packed with flavor, we get these everytime! The pork won tons in the chili sauce have a delicious sauce that is a little nutty and a little spicy! We've tried the pan fried dumplings and they are good, but not spectacular. The shrimp dumplings are delicious and perfect texture! The pan fry pork buns were super fluffy and the filling was really flavorful. Loved the texture of the fluffy bun. The cucumber salad reminds me of the Din Tai Fung salad, perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor! Absolutely recommend this spot and will definitely continue to come here for my Asian food fix!

    Started off strong but ultimately we are regretful for eating here…read more Parking was easy around 5pm. Managed to score the last spot in the lot, but there is plenty of street parking. Upon entering we were greeted and invited to sit anywhere. I went with my husband, though there wasn't a lot of two top seats, we made ourself comfortable in the corner. Staff was friendly, though i'm not sure why even have 3 wait staff on when patrons put in the order themselves on paper. waitress just grabs and goes. I enjoy having conversation and feeling taken care of at a restaurant, this provides a disconnect and makes things off putting. Menu does not have prices. This is concerning as a patron and dissolves the little trust built. Taro Ube Boba was amazing, although the consistency of the boba was starting to get gummy. it was towards the end of the day, and happens at most restaurants. 5/5 We ordered the octopus balls and were accidentally given the gyoza - it was pleasant. Although seemed to be a bit watery from the boiling process. However nothing to write home about. This item was not on the final bill. 3/5 octopus balls had nice flavor. those unfamiliar may complain about the strong fish but that is how the dish is prepared. I wish it was prepared with a firmer cook, as it basically disintegrates the moment it enters your mouth. I believe the correct cook should allow you to take a single bite without it collapsing. 3/5 pork belly ramen: a single piece of overcooked and grey pork belly. Dry as the desert. all items seemed to be purchased from savemart next door. the single redeeming item in the entire bowl was the marinated shiitake mushrooms. 2/5 the most unfortunate part of our meal was the poke bowl. incredibly regrettable with zero redeeming qualities. i specifically beg everyone not to order the shrimp. This must have been a 91 count. Tasted like a wet freezer. Gave my husband and I the heebie jeebies. -10/5 i'd be embarrassed to serve this at my restaurant. I am a huge asian food enthusiast and that's why I beg everyone to avoid this place. There's a sign on the wall saying it's been rated top 100 Ramen spots in california. that is either some crazy joke or they are number 100.

    So there I was... sitting on an oil rig in Alaska, talking to a sheriff's deputy with over 20 years…read moreon the job. He says, "My buddies keep telling me about this place called Pho King Good." Funny part? Even he had never been there. Well, that little story stuck with me. Fast forward a few weeks. My road trip partner, Koda, and I are heading home from Disneyland, cutting through Sacramento toward Grass Valley. We roll into Auburn and BOOM there it is. Pho King Good. Now let's just take a second to appreciate that name. If you're gonna swing for the fences with a name like Pho King Good, you've set the bar about as high as Mount Everest. You don't get to be "pretty decent." You'd better make me question every bowl of pho I've ever eaten. The sign? Absolutely iconic. It practically jumps out and hollers at you from the side of the road. Easy in, easy out. Road-tripper approved. Walking inside, though, I was expecting a little more "Pho King Palace" and a little less "we've been meaning to remodel since the Clinton administration." The marble counter looked nice enough, but the place just felt like it needed a little love. If I owned a restaurant with a name that good, I'd lean into it. Give me lanterns. Give me atmosphere. Make me feel like the King just walked in. Charge me another couple bucks if you have to I wouldn't mind if the experience matched the name. Then came the menu. It felt a little like Dysfunction Junction. They had everything listed, but it wasn't organized in a way that made ordering easy. Give me sections. House Pho. Beef Pho. Chicken Pho. Special Pho. Help a hungry traveler out. The food? Solid... right down the middle of the road. After hours in the car, a hot bowl of pho hits the spot no matter what. Koda really enjoyed his chicken dish, and our vegetable egg rolls with the peanut sauce were decent, although the wrapper was just a touch on the rubbery side. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which always counts for something. My only real disappointment was this: with a name like Pho King Good, I expected to leave saying, "That's the best pho I've ever had." Instead, I left saying, "That was... good." And then came the plot twist. Time to pay. Cash only. So now I'm walking out to the ATM like I'm making a withdrawal for a back-alley poker game or a dispensary run. I'm standing there thinking, "Well... this tip just took a hit because I wasn't planning on paying an ATM fee for my noodles." I still don't quite understand it. You're giving change, printing receipts, running a business... we're already 95% of the way to taking cards! Overall, this wasn't about whether the food was amazing or terrible. It was about the experience. Sometimes that's the story worth telling. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably. Because sometimes a bowl of pho, your best buddy Koda riding shotgun, and a restaurant with the greatest pun in California are all you really need. And if they ever decide to polish the place up and make it live up to that legendary name... It might just become Pho King Great.

    VEGAN SIGHTING!!! I…read moredon't even know where to start my fellow vegans. This quirky, Vietnamese restaurant in the city of Auburn, CA, has by far the best vegan Banh Mi sandwich. The tofu was prepared so it did not take up the whole sandwich. The pickled radish and carrots had the perfect and balanced of sour and sweet. Of course, can't leave out the herbs of cilantro and fresh jalapinjoes. The french bread was crispy outside but still soft and hearty as you take a bite. My earth was it a 2 thumbs up!!! Then their vegan pho with veggies and tofu did not disappoint. Their veggie broth was perfectly blended and made wonderfully that I was not even thinking this was vegan. The staff was kind and informative. They were attentive and friendly. Then comes the merch. If you like a play on the word Pho, then come and check out their shirts for sale. All I have to say is "Life is Pho king good." With this said, another gem in Auburn, CA.
