It's almost impossible for me to go into Mooncake Foods "cold" to evaluate it. I've already enjoyed food at their other two locations in Manhattan so I was already predisposed to enjoying this restaurant.
Blink and you'll miss walking by the small storefront of this restaurant. In heavy contrast to its sibling restaurants, this one is a medium sized establishment that could probably seat about 20 people tops (and even then rather tightly). It's not as tiny as the one downtown, but not as big as the one in the 30's. The seating is comfortable and you get a full view of the kitchen from several of the seats.
I confess I decided to be boring and ordered items that I knew I loved already. This included the amazing chicken wings (still stellar after all these years) and the octopus salad (it never fails to amaze). Our service was really quick, though to be fair we were only one of three tables there that night.
This is a great spot for a modern take on Asian food. It doesn't look super fancy but I like that. It's comfortable, clean and pleasant. Take note: this place is cash only so be sure to hit the ATM before visiting!
They deliver!
The food was probably some of the best delivery foods I've ever ordered. I had the fish tacos and they come unassembled. The (white) fish is cooke and in one to-go box and the greens and tortillas come in another so it's not soggy when you get them. I just made mine into a taco salad and threw bits of tortilla into it. So delicious!
My friend ordered the tuna burger and he said it was fresh and the tuna/wasabi mayo combo was perfect–not too much sauce or too little. It was Goldilocks. He also said it wasn't fishy at all and the buns were nice and fluffy.
The name itself is cute and catchy; it was one of those nights I wanted snacks but not meals per say so I stopped in here for some Vietnamese spring rolls. The shop is little and dingy, but that adds a casual ambiance to it. Their spring rolls are pretty good and cheap as well; $5. This place is perfect for Vietnamese small eats.
Really really small place lacking in decor but pretty good food. Ordered the steak with ginger sauce. The ginger sauce was BOMB!!! Can I order a bottle of that to go please? But the steak was overcooked. Presentation was bad. Atmosphere was very Chinatown. Didn't feel like I was in NYC at all (which for some may be a godo thing but for me was not). Also had an octopus noodle dish to-go once and it was pretty bad.
Note this place is cash only.
Met a friend here around 6:30pm on a Tuesday. I was a little nervous that there wouldn't be seating but it seemed like only 2 of the about 20 seats were occupied on the time.
We ordered 2 appetizers (dumplings and Vietnamese spring rolls) and 2 entrees (salmon and ribs). We paid $21 each. Enjoyed this spot, would come back again.
Mooncake, how I love thee. Your menu is innovative. Your ingredients are fresh. I only wish this location was a bit bigger since you're so popular, but I appreciate how quickly you make your food to help get us in and out quickly without feeling rushed. This restaurant is truly a reliable, delicious spot in this part of the city.
Everything I've had here is tasty. Some favorites include the peashoot dumplings (steamed and green) to share, Vietnamese Pork Meatball Hero (with ample pickled veggies, daikon, and chili sauce), and the steak with Chimichurri. Prices are competitive for the amount of food you get and the quality of the ingredients. Mooncake is playful with their dishes while staying true to their Asian roots.
Don't forget to snag the $3 Sapporo draft.
Cash only.
I ordered the tofu bahn mi and it came with a side salad and ginger dressing. I loved what they were shooting to achieve of the bahn mi as well as the stuffing but it had no flavor. It came with a green sauce and I used all of it.
Cash only.
The service was fast!
Great place in Hell's Kitchen to get a healthy, cheap sit down dinner.
Gluten free and vegetarian options are abundant. Dinner plates comes with rice (brown or white) and a big side salad. Miso salmon is my personal fave, very reminiscent of a home cooked meal.
Staff is super chill with a surprisingly extensive beer list.
