    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

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

Lots of garlic flavor and too much fat on the cut. Bibimbap I got the stone pot and there wasn't even enough oil to make the rice crispy. There wasn't any flavor except the sauce, and everything was just super dry. I liked the ingredients but they weren't seasoned separately or anything. Also, my egg was crazy overcooked. Banchan was very meager but they refill. Lastly, we ordered a beef noodle dumpling to-go and they forgot the noodles. Overall disappointed with every dish especially after seeing good reviews and misleading photos.

It came with a hard bowled egg and a few dumplings which were okay. I really enjoyed the side of a pickled veggie. But I would give this dish 2 stars. I ordered the five wing with K-sauce (medium heat). The wings were crispy and not greasy like the last time. Plenty of meat and the sauce was sweet with a little heat. I give the wings 5 stars. I also ordered the onion rings which was a large portion. They were crispy, crunchy and not greasy. One of the better ones that I have had. I'm glad I came back I definitely will come back for their wings but not for their ramen.

    So it's Valentines night around 630p and I had settled in on the couch thinking my evening was…read moreset,when my 24 year old daughter who was visiting for the weekend from out of town comes into the living room and was like "So where are we going for dinner tonight?"I literally did LOL and was like "Nowhere-not on Valentine's Day on a Saturday night with no reservations".She did not accept that as an acceptable answer and she jumped on her phone and after calling place after place she found a spot that had a wait under 30 minutes,though it was pretty far from Natomas and it's a place I have zero and I do mean zero experience with-but what are you going to do-When the wife and the daughter want to go to dinner on Valentines Day,I guess you get off the couch and head on out-we headed out to Modurang Korean Restaurant on Folsom Blvd. Parking at this location is kinda tricky in front of the restaurant as the spots seem very close and people seemed to be parking recklessly but luckily it's quite a large lot with many spaces in front of some of the other shops in this multi tenant shopping area. Once we got to the restaurant we noticed a few people waiting in the lobby ahead of us but considering what night it was,I was fine with it.We ended up waiting about 20 minutes before we got our table. I will admit fully I have zero expertise at Korean restaurant,outside of occasional visits to a BBQ spot but at traditional sit down Korean restaurant,I was out of my element.Luckily for me,the daughter has spent multiple weeks in Korea thru her military service,so I felt like I was in good hands-I let her have total control of what we were eating that night,that wasnt easy for me to do. We ended up going with Fried Chicken in spicy sauce($22.95)-Seafood Fried Rice($18.95)-Soft Tofu Stew($17.95)-Hot Stone Beef Bibimbab($19.95),which along with the courtesy banchan was so much food-but I'd never been to this restaurant-I wanted to try some things. To drink we ended up going with some Blackberry wine($14.95) and my daughter went with a Milkis($1.95) drink-I just went with water but I did have my eye on some Soju,but decided against it since I wasn't sure what I was up against "food-wise". Once the food arrived which was lightning quick-I was in heaven,the 11 small dish banchan along with our dishes,I can't tell you which was best because everything I tasted was on point and kept getting better and better.My bibimbap was so fun to eat-I enjoyed the act of mixing it all up before trying it-was so tasty.The tofu stew came out piping hot and the flavor profile was like nothing I've had before-it was super enjoyable.If I had to say though,the star of the meal was that fried chicken in spicy sauce-holy smokes-large pieces of chicken drowning in the spicy sauce,it was a flavor overload that I couldnt get enough of-I loved them-I think I ate 80% of them-sorry wife and daughter-I couldnt help myself,they were awesome,I'd always heard how good Korean chicken was but now I can vouch for it-it's really really great-do yourself a favor and get this dish-it's awesome. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the mood to try a traditional Korean restaurant in the Sacramento area,I would without a doubt recommend Modurang Korean restaurant-it was a pretty amazing place and I'm glad I tried it-hope you feel the same way if u try it one day. PS-forgot to mention that Blackberry wine was delicious-another surprise of the night-very enjoyable.

The management changes of past years has brought back pros who have lived and immersed in Japan and Korea, and bring a sparkling authenticity to a place that had sometimes lost its way past decade.

Unlike most places in this region, the parking is free and expansive amidst the mini mall in a forest.

    More Umami Needed!…read more SHORT Ver: Most selections lack flavor to true authentic originals. Service was friendly and adequate, hence my giving 2 I am Asian who has lived over 50 years in Hawaii and have eaten authentic Asian cuisine from around the Pacific and Asia so I'm qualified to make this statement! LONG Version: In heavily populated Asian communities,if we see a particular race eating at that races' restaurant, it's generally a signal that the food there is gonna be good! Makes sense, right? While visiting Tahoe today my family had a craving for sushi and based on the rating for Harumi Sushi (as of 6/26' is is 3.9 Stars) we decided to go for dinner. Walking in, we were met with friendly staff and Japanese chefs behind the sushi counter! (Good sign!) their menu is mostly Japanese with some Korean dishes. I was also pleasantly surprised that there were a lot of Asian families also seated but I wasn't sure if that was a good gauge as I suspected that these families were all probably like ours-visiting from outside of the area. I crossed my fingers. We ordered various sushi rolls, a Tonkotsu Ramen, Tempura Udon, Pork Tonkatsu, and a Dotsolbop. Kitchen help must've been short staffed because each dish came out singly with minutes in between the next single dish and by the time the last dish came out, the first few people had already been long finished. First: Tonkotsu Ramen soup broth was completely tasteless. I have packaged Tonkotsu Ramen from my Asian store in Vegas that has much more flavor and body that the one I had. The noodles were simply noodles, the egg was not ajitama. It was simply a half boiled egg. The rest of the dish was not appealing nor tasty at all. Even the charsiu tasted old if not just pan fried for presentation! I could not finish it. The Tempura with the udon was adequate for an AYCE Japanese style buffet so, 'mid' as my kids would say. The udon, I was told wasn't bad, I guess I should've order the Shoyu Ramen instead. The Tonkatsu also fared better in taste rating than my ramen. The Dot Sol Bop came after everyone was finished eating. It had chopped lettuce on it among a couple other non traditional looking veggies. There was very little meat in it. After adding the kochujang sauce and tasting, it was the strangest version of this dish I have ever tasted. The vinegar flavor coming from each bite was so overwhelming. We didn't know if it came from the rice mixture or from the kochujang sauce. Not even half of this dish was eaten. And this was with half the group sampling it. No one wanted to finish this dish. The sushi rolls looked like they were a little on the old side however all said the sushi was pretty good. Not amazing, but adequate. Mid range quality ingredients. My conclusion is that the quality of the ingredients is in need of some improvements. The sushi chefs are getting the job done with what they have. The cooked dishes, however, need to be reexamined If you truly know what Asian cuisine is because you've grown up with it and/or have experienced it, you will walk away disappointed especially if you order a non-sushi entree. The staff were nice though!
