    Classic Shrimp with Lobster Sauce
    Cheryl M.

    I found this business looking for a place to take my husband for his birthday. The decor is really nice, the bar is on the right when you walk in, the tables are centered in the middle and a little close together. The tables for larger parties are on the outside. We ordered the soup for two which was really good with shrimp, chicken and various other stuff in a tasty broth. Appetizers: Shrimp toast which I didn't care for, no taste of shrimp anywhere Salt n pepper Calamari was good and not chewy Entree: Shrimp n Lobster Sauce was really good and taste fresh Pork Tenderloin, it was fried and had a good flavored sauce but, the pork was so thin , you didn't taste pork. Mongolian Beef was a little bland The service was on point

    Lemongrass Chicken-Main Course Gluten Free

    We were in the area again and made sure to stop in for another great meal. Lots of gluten free options. Top notch service. Wish we lived closer!

    1/11/25 cocktail menu
    Stacey S.

    1/11/25. Generally, I am leery of Asian fusion places but I have to say I was quite happy here! The inside is very modern with a large bar. Irma was a friendly attentive bartender. However, it should be noted that every drink is EXACTLY measured so the drinks are very weak, imo. The sushi (clam, fluke, tuna and scallop) ordered was extremely fresh. The branzino (with ginger and scallion sauce) and crunchy seafood fried rice were very tasty. Not oily at all! Ended with really good pistachio ice cream. Just wish it was the pistachio ice cream with cherries that some Asian places have. I'd def return.

    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Winston L.

    Moonstone had a solid lunch menu! For the price, you definitely get a quality meal with attentive service. Since parking can be difficult around the area, it was nice that there were plenty of spots in their parking lot. I started off with a spicy tuna roll and the seafood tasted fresh. For my entree, I got the Moonstone Three Treasures and was impressed with the portion size. It came with a lot of meat and vegetables. The sauce was just a bit too heavy/salty for me but overall it is a good place for a more upscale meal. I would totally return to try their dinner menu!

    Salmon with mushroom sauce
    Chris P.

    We had dinner with my parents at this upscale modern Chinese restaurant that used to be East Buffet. The ambiance was a much elevated version of what the buffet set looked like. Prices were pretty high. However, it was worth it. We ordered a bunch of dishes. My husband ordered the four course meal, which was $65, only served Monday thru Thursday. The prix fixe menu had stipulations where sharing was not allowed, but that was impossible because portions were huge except for the key lime pie. My husband enjoyed the wonton soup, scallion pancakes, salmon teriyaki, and key lime pie. The sauce of the salmon teriyaki was great. Salmon teriyaki, key lime pie, and scallion pancake are highly recommended. My dad and I shared the half Peking duck. This dish was served tableside as my dad calls it Hong Kong style from the crepe to the duck preparation and presentation. My mom ordered the salmon with mushroom sauce, which was standard. I also ordered the shrimp and walnut, and omg, the shrimp was HUGE. This dish is worth ordering, too. I'll definitely be back to explore the 4-course prix fixe menu.

    Honey Chicken with Mixed Roasted Nuts

    Chinese restaurants around NYC/surrounding suburbs are everywhere, but it's hard to find ones that are of a high caliber. So when you do, it's a joyous occasion. Enter Moonstone, a newer Chinese restaurant (opened within the last 2-3 years). Technically in Queens, it sits on northern boulevard just on the border of great neck. Over the last year, we ordered take out 8-10 times. There was not a single time where the experience wasn't great. From top to bottom, it's high quality Chinese food that rivals any high end Chinese spot (Mr Chows, Shun Lee, Hunan Taste etc). Whatever appetizer you want, from their egg rolls to soups to ribs, they're top notch. Their mains are all excellent and the ingredients are noticeably better than a typical Chinese place (i.e. their beef is actually beef, their chicken resembles real white meat chicken, their shrimp seems fresh and juicier than the norm, etc). If you're ordering take out, you're in for an additional treat in that their to-go operation is as good as it gets. Walk in and you will see a table of 10+ to-go bags, neatly packaged and organized with an attentive team servicing to go patrons. Many may not care about this detail, but attention to the little things matters, and opening a to-go order that is thoughtfully packaged and always perfect, says a lot about a restaurants commitment to excellence. Last night we ate there for the first time, which prompted this review. The restaurant itself is upscale, clean and offers good vibes. In short -- not what you'd expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. They've actually focused on ambiance and created a really nice environment to dine. The service is great too -- really kind and attentive staff. Overall, there really is not a single thing I'd change about this place. Kudos to being a standout establishment in a field full of mediocre options

    Sushi
    Ekat G.

    Beautiful restaurant nice ambiance. The steak keep tender and delicious, the shrimp tempura was good the veggies ehh I wished the batter was better. Sushi was a hit! Service was on point but the staff comes to the table much too frequently!

    Sesame Chicken
    John C.

    Came here a few times, the food is pretty good. We ordered a few sushi rolls and mostly order the Chinese food from here. The service is good and very helpful. The ambiance is very upscale and luxurious for Asian fusion spot.

    Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup
    Joseph S.

    A little pricy but fabulous Asian fusion food. Elegant indoor space and great attentive service. I thoroughly enjoyed the best hot and sour soup I have ever tasted, which was vegetarian. The spicy scallop dish was tender and scrumptious. Menu is very diverse.

    They can't even get Spicy Tuna with Avocado right.  Disappointing!

    I order from Moonstone and request delivery. The order is generally wrong and it takes a full hour at minimum to get your order. They require $45 minimum to get delivery. You spending ENOUGH money why can't moonstone get your food right and under 30 minutes. Ridiculous and disappointing

    Braised Halibut Claypot
    Elena Y.

    Nice decor and prompt service. Ordered the halibut clay pot and it was delicious. Tom yum Soup was very good. Will be back to try more!

    Carlton R.

    Unexpectedly Amazing! Came here to celebrate Mother's Day with my family and it was absolutely an amazing experience. The ambience was exquisite! The staff here was extremely well attentive, friendly and always happy to aid us in our needs. The drinks are delicious, with the food being tasty! I will say, the food is served in very large portions that came be shared with 2 people. We did not know that and ended up having take aways! But we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and experience! Mom loved it! Will return!

    Lychee martini
    Sita P.

    Great local restaurant with an extensive menu, waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We tried the rock shrimp, sushi rolls, lamb chops, Mongolian beef, & lo mein. Everything was delicious, shareable portions. Beautiful decor, perfect for date night. We had a reservation but didn't seem necessary, was seated right away. Parking lot available.

    This is probably my go to sushi place in the area. I usually get salmon avocado rolls to go. The dim sum platters are good as well.

    Hey, just wondering what the dress code is like over there?

    No dress code... casual is totally fine

    What a lovely restaurant! Are there private rooms for families?

    There are no private rooms for families, but I have seen them set up areas for large parties before. It is semi-private.

    Do I need to make a reservation for this Saturday before Mother's Day?

    Hi Wendy, Thank You for inquiring. Reservation is always suggested for all Saturdays especially the day before Mother's Day.
