    Lemongrass Chicken-Main Course Gluten Free
    Adriana H.

    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.

    Grace K.

    This has become our sushi spot. Quick and friendly service. Found a piece of plastic in my sushi and they were quick to remake it for me. I love their cocktail and cappuccino.

    The damage - beef ribs, fried sea bass, lobster&shrimp wontons were great!

    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.

Menu is very limited with the protein options though with a few choices of noodles (spicy, ramen, or soup versions). They also carry poke bowls which I have yet to try. I did enjoy my beef over rice very much. Thin slices of beef, super tender and delicious. The sauce was on the sweeter side which was drizzled onto the beef as an au jus. And it came with half an egg, pickled radishes and broccoli. Another dish I enjoyed was the fish and cabbage hot pot. That was served with a bowl of rice. No noodles. Even with the spice level at "one pepper" rating, it was too much of a kick for me. But those that like spicy will enjoy it just fine. The fish pieces it came with were generous sized portions and this bowl was loaded with vegetables. Wood ear, mushrooms, cabbage, sliced white radish, and bean curd skin. It also has a few slices of spam (which I did order extra so I'm not sure if the normal is two slices). We also tried the pan fried pork gyoza which was perfectly fried on each side. Nice color. Taiwanese pork as a side comes with one pc per order. The fried chicken appetizer could use a little more spices but the chicken was so tender and very juicy. I liked it a lot. It does come with a dipping sauce which helps but I didn't use it much. All in all a good spot for take out but the menu will need to be expanded in order to have longevity. Sadly it didn't look busy each time I came to pick up. Staff is attentive and friendly.

I didn't get a chance to confirm the cost ahead of time so that's my fault. We were seated by staff and my server wasn't overly friendly as I assume she was busy so I hurriedly gave her my order . The food came in a see t amount of time and I thought overall the quality was just slightly above average (for the kitchen items ) the sushi wasn't anything exceptional compared to other Long Island ayce locations. We ordered only one round of sashimi and speciality rolls and a bunch of kitchen items for my kids. Our main server never really came to check with us so we pretty much gave additional orders to the staff collecting our plates. No dessert on the menu unfortunately . Pricing : for adults given the selection I can accept the $38 price however it is Not worth the money if you do ayce for young kids . My boys are 6 and 9 and were charged $23.99 each and probably ate less than half the value of food . You can do à la carte instead . Service : eh see above Food : great variety but no dessert On ayce menu

Instead, I was served a cheeseburger with french fries, which was completely different from what I ordered. When I brought this to the staff's attention, the response was dismissive and argumentative, rather than focused on resolving the issue. Rather than escalate the situation, I chose to leave. Although I had already paid, I did not feel comfortable staying or continuing the conversation. This was especially disappointing because I have been a loyal customer for years, long before the new ownership. I used to visit frequently, and even now, I go out of my way, often 40 minutes, to come here when I am in Queens dropping off my kids. As someone who does not eat cheeseburgers, receiving that order was both frustrating and avoidable with basic attention to detail. I truly hope the new management takes steps to improve both service and communication moving forward. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be returning. This is coming from a person that has been coming to this place for years. It's sad.

But what missed the mark for me was the "room for improvement" on a few things. The ramen was decent, broth was not packing enough umami for me. The extra noodle portion was ample. Overall the ramen just lacked that oomph factor but it's a decent noodle soup otherwise. The other item was the poke bowl we ordered. It sounded great on the menu but arrived a bit disappointing. The bowl was only half full and skimpy on the rice and ingredients in general. While it offers so many choices and includes a variety of items in three categories - it doesn't justify the portion. I believe you get more at standard poke place. Now onto my sashimi deluxe. It came with a bowl of rice but not with miso soup. I realized it when I got the bill. Many places have entrees that come with soup or salad (my bad for assuming). Overall food was good so no complaints there. I just wished the proportion was to par. On that note, I've ordered from them many times for home delivery and they are very good with packaging and delivery times. Despite my rating on this visit, it's still a solid spot to dine in.
