This a real gem, stuck in an awkward corner and with very little sitting space or decor, the restaurant is clearly my favorite place in SoHo for Asian fusion food
Evelyn TanApril 21, 2016Delicious food with generous serving & very reasonably priced. Salmon rice, Beef rice & chicken wings are must try! Been there twice. Will be back again!
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013The whitefish salad Banh Mi has some serious fusion flavor. All that's wonderful about Jewish cuisine – the smoked fish, the excess – with jalapenos, pickled carrots and daikon and cilantro. It works.
LaurenOctober 18, 2019Lovely owners! Great lunch deal too, always enough food for two meals for me with plenty of veggies and flavor. Beats the median lunch price of the area. Cash and Venmo accepted.
Ms HeleneFebruary 24, 2013Miso glazed salmon and other entree 'plates' only $10. A little overdone and dry but great value with brown rice and salad. Imported beers like Tsingtao and Tiger only $4.
Good tofu bánh mì. The meatball bánh mì is good too. They have a great Thai iced coffee and a very strong Thai iced tea
Andrea HongDecember 5, 2013No frills but always yummy asian-fusion'y spot. Miso glazed salmon and asian pear salad with chicken sausage -- super good.
NearSay NYCJuly 22, 2011N-Sider obsession: I am crazy for their Miso Salmon dish. It's the perfect combination of sweet with a hint of tang, cooked to perfection!Bonus- Ask for a side of their fresh peanut dressing.
Steak Plate, brown rice. If you're not into meat, the Roasted Veggie bowl is great too. I don't eat seafood but I hear that the Miso Glazed Salmon is very good.
Chris RyanSeptember 17, 2014Can't go wrong with the Salmon Miso plate (I get mine with brown rice). Make sure you get the green sauce to put on top.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 27, 2011Try the grilled pork chop sandwich ($8): "tender, thin slices of pork, brushed with a bit of sweet hoisin and quickly grilled, paired with a mango chutney and irresistibly crunchy, fresh bread." Read more
Pamela CastilloAugust 8, 2014I mostly order via Seamless from there, but everything is amazing, especially the wonton soup (w noodles) and the summer rolls.
Great for lunch or dinner. The miso glazed salmon is my favorite, marinated very nicely. Also get the lime rickey beverage.
Grace S.July 9, 2013Miso-glazed salmon salad. Ask for the habanero green sauce on the side for a kick! The unsweetened lemon lychee iced tea is great too.- Village VoiceMarch 5, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Mooncake Foods to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest!
- Boon KohSeptember 18, 2015Awesome crawfish dumplings, and a bargain too! Almost a full meal. Definitely go for those.
Hannah GMAugust 2, 2013The chicken and buckwheat noodles with cilantro-ginger pesto is fantastic. Huge portions and incredibly reasonable!
Kmart FashionDecember 2, 2011Looking for a yummy healthy lunch in the SoHo/Tribeca area? Def checkout this place, it won't disappoint. The Salmon Salad is one of the bests. Cash only!- Village VoiceJanuary 25, 2013Mooncake Foods (& 50+ other eateries) will be sampling their fare at our 2013 Choice Eats tasting event on 3/19 - can't wait!
Vince WongMarch 6, 2013I've Seamless'd the Miso Glazed Salmon with brown rice twice now. I have to say, they've got a new regular on their hands. Someday I'll order something else. But for now...
Jeffrey ZhaoFebruary 20, 2016The steak is amazing, and the salmon is good too. All around solid place
CompassJuly 22, 2013Mooncake specializes in healthy Asian options. Everything is grilled, steamed or roasted, and many of the ingredients are organic.
Chris LuhurMarch 30, 2011Lobster sandwich is buttery goodness! Salmon plate w/ brown rice is awesome too. Steak is good when they don't overcook - get it with the cilantro ginger sauce!
Sliced steak with ginger and coliantro simply the best in manhattan... Amazing Value for the $$$!
Derek PanMay 21, 2010I ordered a steak and peppered something sandwich and it was bigger than my head! Meat was tender! I recommend their green hot sauce. Looked handmade. Oh, wash it down with Saigon Beer.
D FAugust 15, 2010Decided to try this place amid the positive reviews. Almost turned away sure to unsightly exterior of the place, decided to try the food, and were not disappointed! Friendly staff, delicious food.
Carmen GoosemanSeptember 18, 2013Food was quick. Good and not that pricy. Get the spinach and octupus platter and enjoy.
I AmosFebruary 10, 2010Get the Chicken/Tofu + Buckwheat Noodle Salad with Ginger Cilantro Pesto. It's a full meal--not a diet-y kind of salad at all--and it's bursting with flavor.- Mooncake delivered food, netflix and a glass of wine will make your night, when staying in.
Sue KimAugust 10, 2011Everything here is really good. Get the sliced steak with cilantro and ginger! The sauce is so goood
So much food and so fresh! Had the Thursday lobster special....Amazing and interesting lobster, salad and green bean combo...
Falcon ElizabethJanuary 8, 2010The cilantro ginger sauce is to DIE for. And they know it. I offer them $10 for a small container and they wouldnt sell it to me!! I'm not gonna decode the recipe i just want to EAT it ALL thetime!!!!
AaronApril 17, 2013this is the summer roll that no one wanted to finish. don't order the summer roll.
Ask for the Jumbo (1 pinter Singha). Perfect compliment for anything on the menu. Ask for extra spicy green sauce.
David KoJuly 23, 2011Love the tofu and buckwheat noodle salad! If you are a tourist please note that they take cash only.
Desiree GMarch 29, 2011i love mooncake... but there are some things that just aren't RIGHT. The best thing to eat there is the tuna burger and wasabi mayo...the worst... the veggie sammie... it is exactly what it is.
Like everyone says, the Salmon is amazing. Especially for $10.

"Must try the pork dumplings! The tingly beef was great too, flavorwise. The noodles themselves are sub par but flavor was on point. Definitely coming back"
