Moyo Moyo Korean Restaurant
DIXON – I’ve discovered some of the best quality restaurant food in the most humble, casual surroundings. Such is the case with Moyo Moyo.
Their sizable menu consists of small plates, soups and casseroles, bibimbab (a popular entrée consisting of steamed white rice topped with an assortment of seasoned vegetables, fried egg and beef), hot pots for two, noodle and rice dishes, grilled entrées, as well as stir-fry favorites and combo dishes.
If you’ve never been to a Korean restaurant, prepare to delight your taste buds with all the choices and delectable sides (banchan) that accompany your meal. Enough to share as an appetizer, I recommend their Haemul Pajan (seafood pancake).
Located at 127 N. 1st Street in Dixon, they’re open daily and feature lunch specials. For info., call (707) 678-4982.
