mooncake foods is a must for great pan asian food. the best dishes are the miso glazed salmon, fish tacos and the steak dish. the lobster mango rolls are great starters. prices are unbeatable and the staff is always very friendly from the waitresses, waiter and the chefs.

Hidden gem 5 Star Rating - World class

I went in there randomly the other day, even though it was busy, i dont have to wait long to order, a minute after i ordered my drink was on the table and 5 minutes later the food was there! Quality of the food is amazing for its price (sliced steak platter is less than $9!)... I loved it. Now i'm about to order my lunch delivered from there :)

Pros: Delicious food, very affordable menu, cozy
Cons: small space but the food makes up to it :)

It's a mooncake! 5 Star Rating - World class

This place is amazing! And consistent! And always fresh! I order here at least once a week. I always get the same thing, cilantro steak entree. I am not a creature of habit, but I can't get enough of this dish. Almost two years I've been addicted. I dream about it. I am in love with it. To be perfectly honest, I've never once actually step foot in the restaurant. Always ordered in, and always was extermely happy.

Pros: Delicious, fresh, tasty, inventive, unique, friendly
Cons: None.

Randomly delicious 5 Star Rating - World class

Most random location and random place and random menu. But freakin' terrific. And priced really reasonably. A clean but bare-boned interior, small and diner-esque with a good vibe and a very friendly, welcoming staff. The food is the hero here, and they have the most unique and surprising menu I've seen... and everything on it rocks. Literally everything on the menu is amazing.

Fresh, zesty food with a familial vibe! 5 Star Rating - World class

Mmm, Mooncake. Few restaurants I've been to consistently offer such a high quality of freshness and zing in such a wide range of dishes. When I was there last I had fresh edamame soup, a rather inventive creation I never thought I'd end up trying. Delicious, energizing. Wish I could remember exactly which salad I had (it was terrific) but I know I had a wonton soup that was also a home run. Mooncake fits the bill for me because the flavor quotient is high, their food gives you all the vitamins and nutrients you'll need to power up and go about your business for the rest of the day, and it does so with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Everybody working there's in a good mood there because they're into the food too -- always a telltale positive sign in a restaurant. Put this one on your list and set a date to visit!

Pros: Flavor factor is high! The food stands on its own because it is so fresh.
Cons: Let me get back to you on that.
