Sun & Moon Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in East Providence

Ordered tuna gimbap appetizer and kalbitang main. The gimbap was not too strong, but not too weak on flavor; it just met expectations. The kalbitang however was underwhelming in flavor, could have added more seasoning, because the bone broth tasted like a diluted/watered down bone broth with a hint of salt and pepper, otherwise there are 2 large chunks of meat that fall right off the bones very easily and was somewhat tender. And in traditional Korean fashion, you are served with free side dishes, im not sure if the side dishes change from day to day, but in my case I was served with seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi (of course, but it tasted like the “fresh/unfermented” kimchi) and marinaded cucumbers. Overall, this place is average, I’d give it 3.5 stars for food, service, and atmosphere (I like small and compact pocket places like this).

Side note: I’m from the west coast born and raised where 1/3 of the city population is korean and I go to SK for 1 month every year so I know how everything is...

We used to love this restaurant when we lived nearby , they had amazing bibimbap that was generous with the meats and veggies and affordable at 12.99 for the chicken option . We also loved their seafood Korean pancakes that were 13.99 and full of seafood. We went back recently and found the prices went up by 50% or more ! On the plus side , the wait was short and the staff friendly. Now the food … maybe my expectations were too high with my previous experience here and with the huge price increases … The shrimp on the bipimbap were very small, (salad size) and had just 5 shrimp ! The chicken one was a bit better with roughly 1/2 breast . The pancake had barely any seafood in it! In total we spent $87 on two apps and 2 bipimbaps ! We did have a little leftovers but did not think the value was...

The owners of this place are very nice, friendly and attentive unfortunately their waiters are bad. Had lunch with a friend and we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes. Brought the appetizers, then only one main dish and we waited and waited for a dish that never came. Had to tell the owner because the waiter never came back. Finally they gave us what we had ordered. Food is nothing extraordinary neither in taste, presentation or quality of ingredients. Its plain, average. Veggie dumplings are good...but that's about it. Had a "bippin Bop " tofu was way too fried and stiff, not a good ratio/ balance between rice and veggies. Had like 5 cups of rice for 1 cup of veggies. Meat and rice dish was plain, expensive for several tiny pieces of meat and plain rice. I will be happy...
