    a menu for rice bowl

    Great food, but stupid machine. If you're unlucky, you won't get any food. This is a vending machine. At lunch time, the family before me placed 2 orders, none came out. The machine was also stuck and wouldn't allow any more orders. They were calling the "questions & assistance" phone number on the machine, but I didn't see any progress and decided to leave. At dinner time, the machine looked better because more food was sold out. I tried to place the orders one at a time to avoid the same issue at lunch time. But the 3rd order failed after it charged my credit card, and the machine was again stuck in the same state that doesn't allow any more orders. (See the error message in the attached photo.) I tried calling the "questions & assistance" number twice, but both got redirect to voicemail after 2 minutes' wait. I was lucky enough to find the manager at KT Base Bar. According to him, the machine isn't owned by KT Base Bar; they got a new machine every year for 3 years straight, but it still had a lot of issues like what I encountered; if I could leave a message at the the "questions & assistance" number, I should at least get a refund. So I tried to call the number the 3rd time, which actually got responded by a human. He probably fixed the machine remotely and gave me a promotion code, so I finally got my 3rd order. The food we got is great. (We ordered Taiwan Beef Noodle, Beef Pho and Chicken Teriyaki Rice.) But the entire process took more than 20 minutes. So YMMV.

    Seemed like it would be great, but alas. Scrolled through nine pages of noodle soups and zero were in stock. Super disappointing.

    This was a nice surprise at squaw. I had the pho, and it was really tasty. I want to get one of these machines at my home resort.

The outdoor seating made for a relaxing experience, and the overall atmosphere was very enjoyable. The only downside was that it took a little while for someone to acknowledge me and get me seated. However, once we were seated, the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others. I'll be back!

    Would have given them 5 stars if the -- manager? -- had not come over and been so rude…read more We went to watch a World Cup game ... my husband is from the country that was playing. We were super excited that the game was playing both at the bar and on a huge screen on the wall. First we were at the bar ... the server was amazing, the food and drinks were excellent. We soon realized that there was a group of mostly ladies, also from the same country, watching the game on the big screen behind us. They were very excited and boisterous and invited us to join them. The game was a nailbiter so the group was loud at the exciting parts. I remind you, the game playing was on a huge screen, clearly a sports atmosphere. The girls were not drunk or out of control. The manager (?) came storming out of the kitchen and told the ladies to quiet down, that "someone at the bar" had complained that they were too loud. Keep in mind - we had just been at the bar, everyone was watching, no one was "complaining" about them. The manager was rude and took all the joy and excitement out of the space. Just curious ... when you play football games on that big screen/wall, do you tell men to "keep it down?" Do you tell groups of male sports fans that people are complaining about them? Of course not ... can you imagine? So, five stars on food, drink and atmosphere, but taking two stars off for the sexism. Go enjoy the vibe and especially the patio, but don't go if you are a woman who might get too excited about a game.

We started with the lobster small dish as an appetizer and our 7 year old devoured most of it. It was so delicious. They were incredibly accommodating for my gluten-free and dairy-free needs. I was impressed with how they had special menus for each of my diet restrictions - the items to avoid were crossed off (see pic) which made it super easy to follow. My black cod was AMAZING, cooked perfectly, just the right amount of complimenting flavors and ingredients, in addition to great broccoli. Lastly, the fact they had even one gluten-free/dairy-free dessert option was mind blowing. I was so pumped. It was a smooth and super flavorful coconut passion fruit house made sorbet. I was in heaven. This isn't your typical dining establishment and their food definitely showcases that. And the views do too, holy smokes. Talk about a wag to enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe! Absolutely gorgeous. We're so thankful we got to spend an evening here, in our most favorite vacation spot. Way to go owners, staff and chefs!

Our server, who was from Brazil, was so bubbly, friendly and made the experience more fun. She seemed to be taking care of almost the entire place and still made everyone feel seen. We ordered the lobster roll and the duck bánh mì, and both were good. My only note is that the lobster roll seemed to be mostly shrimp, so at $33 it felt a little overpriced. You are really paying for the view! One of our orders did take a while to come out, but our server was super apologetic and comped the dish, which we really appreciated. Overall, good food, warm service, and an unbeatable view.

    The Food While planning for a Lake Tahoe trip, my wife and I…read morediscovered this niche stop along the way that is Moon's Korean Kitchen. We made a pit stop, and ordered their Kimchi Spam Rice Bowl, along with Pork Rib Soybean Paste Soup. The order also came with banchan, side dishes with cucumber, radish, and kimchi. The Kimchi Spam Rice Bowl had a good mix of ingredients and was delicious. The Pork Rib Soybean Paste Soup was flavorful and has a good kick to it. There are other dishes on the menu that look interesting, but perhaps next time. The Miscellaneous The Moon's Korean Kitchen is along US-50, about midway between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. You can miss it if you zoom through the highway. The restaurant is not super big per say, but there's a decent amount of seating for its size. During the time we went, it seemed like the owner was soloing the entire place. But the food came at a reasonable time. The restaurant doesn't have an extensive menu, but it's straightforward with variety. There are appetizers with barbeque, stews, noodles, amongst others. Though it is not a place one would visit often, they do have yummy food. Would recommend making the pit stop if you are around the area.

    This place is definitely a must try. A family owned restaurant. Everyone is so nice…read more It's a dive but it's so good.

    Came here on a last minute dinner date with husband about 11-12 days ago…read more Many tables cute setup. It was super busy so we were very understanding on the wait time. I am a business woman so I show lots of patience especially when there was a new server definitely doing her best. We were seated off to a corner again no worries gave some privacy. Food delicious loved the ramen husband and I tried two different ones and we both very much enjoyed them. I loved the cucumber salad surprisingly my husband did too usually he doesn't like that sort of thing like vinegar cucumber etc but he definitely appreciated this one sweet and tangy. Tried two rolls Togo the mango one my husband was very hesitant due to past experience but family enjoyed including my husband. Husband and I both go Thai tea Boba and that was the best way to end the night. Definitely recommend, they also gave us complementary mochi ice cream and edamame due to the mix up and wait which we appreciated.

Clean and comfortable, with a lot of eclectic and funny signs throughout. Feels more like a quick meal spot than somewhere you'd stay a while. Service was good. Everyone was friendly and things ran smoothly. We had the tuna summer roll, fried gyoza, shoyu ramen, and tonkatsu ramen. The summer roll was fresh but pretty standard. The gyoza had a nice crisp, but the filling was just okay. The shoyu ramen was light but a little flat, and the tonkatsu ramen was richer but didn't really stand out. Prices felt a bit high for the quality, but that's pretty typical for Tahoe and tourist areas. Overall, it's a convenient option with good service.

We ordered right away at the cashier and the food came out fairly quick and still piping hot! - 5 wings with K-sauce: the wing pieces were big! The coating was very crispy and the meat was flavorful and tender. The K-sauce was good and slightly spicy. - 7 tenders with soy garlic sauce: the tender pieces were huge! The coating was crispy and the meat was tender. The soy garlic sauce was good but I wish that it was more evenly distributed as most of it was at the bottom of the box. - large crinkle cut fries with honey butter: the fries were good and crispy.

Also I tried their spicy ramen which I was highly disappointed. The noodles were similar to those instant bowls you buy at a supermarket and the broth was the same as an instant bowls. 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.
