I've been here delightfully several times. The atmosphere is ambient, the staff are helpful and friendly. The food is gorgeous though!! Alittle pricey however, in the end it balances. A great selection of western fused Asian foods. I'll definitely return. read more

We took the family for a special occasion dinner at this relatively new South East Asian cuisine restaurant and everyone just loved the meal. A few of us chose Phad Thai rice noodles, very tasty and quite big portions. Mr chose the Crying Tiger marinated Thai style sirloin steak which was indeed grilled to perfection. My favourite was the Thai stir fry Cashewnut, and for the eldest son it was a Green Curry. The interiors are modern, I think they have tried to bring a bit of Ponsonby chic into New Lynn. We thought it all worked and are recommending Mix Moon. read more

Mix Moon was lovey, great for a large group, nice deco and artfully presented food. I just wasn't a raving fan of my Prawn Sambal, I think it had taken the Asian Fusion too far and would of been much better sticking with the traditional sambal sauce (this is assuming that Samal is the same rich, heavy, herby salty sauce I remember) the flavor was too sweet and tomatoey for my liking, but other peoples dishes looked amazing. I might just have to go back and order something else. The Mango Coconut rice was lovely, not too heavy and munched down in record time. read more

Went here on a Thursday night and it was super busy! We made a booking in advance so we had seats. I think they were understaffed, because it took them 15 minutes after seating us to take our orders. The Green Rice Prawns were a bit pricey but they tasted good - would have loved it if there was more sauce with it (only had the the decorative sauce). I got the Chicken Penang Curry. Was pretty delicious but not the best I've had. The serving size was good. Overall I feel like it was a pricey, but taste was good. Service could have been improved - but I could tell they were busy that night. read more

My dad and I went to Mix Moon the week it opened for dinner and were really impressed by the wide range and style of meals that they offer. As implied by the name, Mix Moon's menu includes traditional and contemporary meals from across a variety of countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other such South East Asian nations. This fusion of Asian meals makes for a very mouthwatering menu! Although our initial experience at Mix Moon could have been better - many of the meals and cocktails on the menu were unavailable as they didn't have the ingredients, Mix Moon has since smoothed out these issues and is now a brilliant place to meet for family dinners or dinners with groups of friends. Everyone, regardless of how fussy an eater they may be, will find at least one dish (more likely about ten!) that will satisfy them. And the best part is it won't break the bank either! All dishes at Mix Moon are very reasonably priced, with the average main course only setting you back about twenty dollars. And the portions are big. Yussssss. Tip: The Bun Ga is to die for. If you like lemongrass and vermicelli noodles, this is the meal for you! read more

Great local new Lynn restaurant. Probably the best in new Lynn. Asian fusion at its best. Great for large group but make sure you book ahead. The place get filled up quick. Everything on their menu taste great. I have yet to try a dish that I don't like there. So is pretty safe to try anything there. read more

This is an old favourite. Never fails to deliver great quality. Brilliant Sambal chicken with the right amount of spice! Staff here are friendly and it is quite a popular restaurant. I have been going here since when they used to offer 20% off on takeaways! Those were the days. Eat here and you won't be dissatisfied. read more

I'll admit that I was super sceptical about this place, purely because they offer dishes from all over the South-East Asian area; my previous experience with restaurants like this is that one or two dishes are great but most are bland. Well, happily Mix Moon is opposite the bland: every dish was sensational. I had a Thai starter, a Malaysian main, and a desert of various origins, and each one was distinctive, good, and flavoursome. I suspect almost everything is made from scratch without the commercial pastes that tend to make other dishes taste very similar. They also have a comprehensive vegetarian menu, hooray - it's really great being able to go to a place and not feel like you are a second class citizen just because you don't want meat. Other pluses: it's well kitted out with some thought having gone into the surrounds, the service was very attentive without being intrusive, AND they have cocktails. In short: you should go there. read more

Nice decor and the food is certainly tasty. Started with Curry Puff which were just ok and then had a Chicken Laksa and the Beef Rending with Roti. Both main courses were generous and really tasty. The beef was melt in the mouth tender and the roti were crisp and light. The Laksa was perhaps more subtle than the usual fair but tasted great. Prices are a little higher than I would expect but I will be back to try more of the very large menu. read more

Lovely setting and staff were very attentive. There was a wait for a table (Thursday evening) but it wasn't a long wait. I will be calling ahead next time :) The food was ok, generous serves. I had prawns and my friend had a curry. In hindsight I should have gone with a curry too. read more

Ok, so I have given this an overall three stars due to the food; the restaurants decor and service would be closer to a five star rating...and I promise to go back for a second time to try the food again and if it is a bit better then I will upgrade the stars! My husband and I have both tried the nasi goreng, one with chicken and one with beef. Now it comes with curry is that ok? Yeah, fine, we both figured, soon to discover upon first bite that this curry was 'curry powder' style, not a paste, no green curry nor red curry, dry curry curry...hmmm...hard to describe... maybe I should talk about the service...super patient with indecisive me, gave us glasses of water whilst we waited (we were getting takeaway - 20% off the menu price folks!), and overall very nice. Love the decor! Very nice art matching the lighting that is spread throughout. Cool music at a decent level. Spacious amount of seating indoors if you had a large group or if it is just a few of you then you have an option to sit outdoors - although you would have to get in quick. Parking was easy on Totara Avenue, which made for a quick takeaway getaway, even for a Friday night. Mix Moon only opened in New Lynn in 2012 and it seems to be establishing quite a good reputation for itself, worth checking out. read more

Enjoyed our time here. Love the range of food they have,. Only donfall was that it was so busy that it was so loud we couldnt really talk without yelling! Would definitely come back maybe on a week night when its not so busy. read more

second time at mix moon, still no improvements food just average noise level very loud. expensive for what you got. I had beef rendang with Roti beef tender but rendang extremely mild and didn't ask how you wanted it. I realise rendang tends to be on the sweeter side of curries but no kick or flavour at all. read more

Have been to Mix Moon 5 or 6 times now and it's a great local restaurant. Prices are reasonable, it's BYOW, plenty of menu options, and a nice relaxed atmosphere (although our table was super dark, I needed by phone's light to read the menu!!). However, the service is the letdown. The waitresses aren't particularly attentive, for example we normally have to call them over to take our order, or to get more water. You get the feeling they don't really like their job, which doesn't make for a great experience. But at the end of the day I always leave having enjoyed the food. It's more fusion than authentic - but that's not a bad thing. Ingredients seem fresh, and serving sizes are good. At my last visit I particularly enjoyed the cashew nut with prawns, and the beef rendang with rice and roti. Skip the desserts though, they taste of heated up bought cakes. All things considered, if go in expecting mediocre service and don't order dessert, then you're in for a pretty good dinner at Mix Moon. read more
