The food was absolutely stellar and I LOVED THE BOBA. They were able to change my order from whole milk to almond milk and it tasted amazing, the service was incredible. The ambiance is cute, there's some cafe seating and you can chat with the workers all day long! The food was absolutely stellar and I LOVED THE BOBA.

OK you know how I am about the bathroom situation and oh boy this one was bad. Look, I wouldn't want to clean stranger-used bathrooms either but when you work on a restaurant it's part of the gig. It just is. And a filthy bathroom tells you a lot about what else isn't being done. But, by the time I discovered this we'd already ordered so we were stuck. The seating is odd and sparse. They no longer have a lot of items that other reviews here have raved about (including several entrees and the boba & ice cream waffle bowls). Our orders came out in carry out containers which had the words "Dine On" written on the bag so that was weird. And the flimsy little plastic forks were annoying. The food was fine but honestly I had a hard time eating after seeing the ladies room. The boba was just ok. I did think the egg roll on my bun was pretty good. For me there are so many fabulous Asian restaurants in the area that I would not go back. And I can't in good conscience send friends there based on the sanitary concerns. Sorry, 2 stars.

Classic Thai tea with boba
Christine M.

This is the first time in about a month I haven't been super disappointed in a Thai tea. Moonlight boba is in a small plaza and it's incredibly hard to find parking. I walked in and ordered right away. It was 6.75 for a classic Thai tea with boba. While I was waiting I used the restroom, it could use a good cleaning. By the time I finished and washed my hand my Thai tea was ready. The boba is firm and sweet, they are actually the perfect consistency and sweetness. The Thai tea was much more chocolate forward than others I have had but I really enjoyed it. 10/10 would drink a Thai tea with boba anytime I'm in the area from here.

The inside

There is an Asian food district in Pinellas Park, & that drew us to the Moonlight Boba shop. Our goal was to get Vietnamese Coffee with Boba beads. Our drinks were spot on perfect & tasty. Despite the outside appearance being plain & almost uninviting, the inside of the shop was super clean & comfortable. Don't let the outside look scare you away, lol. One of the best parts of our time here was a visit by the owner, Sid. She was full of awesome personality & a delight to converse with. She spent a lot of time visiting with us, which really impressed us. All in all this place was 5 stars all the way.

​It could be from new management since the last visit. The menu changed and now includes Pho. Service is great, the food prices are reasonably priced.

Unassuming exterior with a pleasantly cute store inside. Plenty of seating and sunlight! And fast service as well! Got a house milk tea boba and it was pretty good, however the flavors are very very subtle. If you're used to a stronger tea flavor, I'd recommend asking for something else. Otherwise, the boba itself was perfectly chewy!

Good tea - good boba - good clean seating ! Fast /friendly service. Accurate ordering- prompt. My 1st time . 5 stars solid for everything. I'll definitely come back later to try their food & other drinks. All my drink orders were made perfectly and not overly sweetened.

Sliced Pork Sandwich and Lavender Milk Tea with Boba
Alyssa S.

A friend introduced me to this amazing boba place and it has become a top favorite of mine! They sell a bunch of flavors, much more than the few standard taro, milk tea, etc. that others might sell. One of my personal favorites is honeydew and their version tastes absolutely incredible! They also sell all kinds of food. I always get the bánh mì, there isn't any banh mi places near me back home so I always jump at the chance to get some here. I've tried the grilled pork and the fried egg, naturally they both taste great. I've also had the waffle ice cream which was equally delicious! The waffle was soft and fluffy, paired well with the ice cream and all the toppings. Service was fast and friendly. The place has a chill vibe and I've seen quite a few people come here to study. Definitely a good place to grab lunch with a friend!

Moonlight Smoothies

Friendly service and great boba. The strawberry milk slush was delicious and don't sleep on the lychee popping boba - so flavorful. Not the biggest space but it was clean and there are seating options.

1. Banh Trang Tron wasn't good...too much rice paper and not enough of everything else.
Emmi A.

We need more Vietnamese snack shops like this in south Florida. The last time I had Banh Mi Bo Ne was in Vietnam and this place just brought back some memories. The bread is outstanding and the flavor of the sauce with the beef and eggs is out of this world. Hubby got the grilled pork Banh mi and said it's one of the best ones he's had in a while. I did come specifically for the Banh Trang tron but turned out to be the least favorite thing we ate. Rice paper was plenty but was lacking in everything else. The texture of the whole dish was just chewy and lacking the dimension that makes this snack so amazing. I wouldn't get this again here but definitely want to try some of their other goodies because everything else was great. Mom had the bo luc lac which, as picky of an eater as she is, really enjoyed it. I would make the 3.5 hr drive just to come for the Banh mi bo ne again. We of course got boba's and they were cooked perfectly and was a delight in our drinks.

Cotton candy ice cream on a waffle cone
Mable G.

Seeking some dessert for my daughter and found Moonlight Boba. The place is somewhat small but comfortable. She ordered cotton candy ice cream on a waffle with toppings. She loved it. The boba menu had some unique options. My husband got a virgin mojito and I got a white grape milk tea. The flavors for both were underwhelming but it sounded good on the menu. The parking lot is small and there's a supermarket they share it with.

Mango smoothie with Honey Boba
Serenity Y.

My favorite place for Boba! The mango smoothie with honey boba is my favorite, very smooth & delicious. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who has never tried Boba because they have many options, and you can sample the boba to decide what you like!

Coconut Boba Smoothie
Brett N.

Why 5 stars? Because I want Moonlight Boba in my life often. --- --- --- I recently sent my wife the Moonlight Boba Yelp listing because her office is not too terribly far away and she loves boba. The reviews are pretty amazing, but I'm not in Pinellas Park very often, so I figured she'd be able to enjoy it before I would. Fortunately, we actually happened to be in the area, so we stopped by and I'm completely in love after one visit. At first, my wife just had me run inside and order a taro boba for her. I planned on grabbing a couple drinks to go and heading home, but I saw the waffle ice cream concoctions on the menu and thought that it would be much better to eat-in. Every waffle looked amazing, but the "Rainbow In My Hand" with cotton candy ice cream, gummies and mochi's really caught my eye. The saying "explosion of flavor" is cliche, but I don't know any other more accurate way to describe this. You got creamy, sour, sweet, mushy, hard and dense in every bite. It's quite a lot for your taste buds to process, but I liked it. With that being said, I'd opt for something like the Cookielicious or the Snow White next time, just for a bit more continuity. Also, my coconut boba smoothie and her taro milk tea were both top notch. But then as we were leaving, my wife pointed out a sign off to the side that showed ice cream boba's. And I have to tell you, outside of a sign that said, "Brett, you've won a new car," I don't know if I could have been happier to see that particular set of information. I'd recently been introduced to ice cream boba's in San Francisco and fell head over heels in love. I was told that they only recently made their way to the United States and were super hard to find. I knew that probably meant I wouldn't find them in Tampa Bay until about 2024, when they'd be old news in SF. So to find them about 3 weeks later in Pinellas Park, I was ecstatic. I'd already had a small dessert before arriving at Moonlight Boba + ordered a boba smoothie and an ice cream waffle here. I wanted to fully enjoy this ice cream boba, so we hopped in the car, drove about 40 minutes home to Tampa, froze them and ate them the next day. They were still just as unbelievable as I remembered, despite nearly melting away in the car the day before. Do yourself the greatest favor and go to Moonlight Boba for many things, but especially for the ice cream boba's before they sell out! As I said, we aren't in Pinellas Park often, but if timing/circumstances work out, I know exactly where I'm coming for my sweet fix.

This time we had their noodle bowl and it's a lot so we split it with half beef and half chicken. First time trying their side sauce and it's sweet with a little tiny kick and such a nice flavor addition. So good. Will be back here again. I think I like this location over the Largo location but same great service and food. Next door to MD and next to Tasty Pho. Great A/C is a super bonus and comfy and k pop music.

They have bibimbap and bulgogi cheese fries in their fast food menu. Yeah, Korean and Mexican fusion in here. I think Kogi means meat in Korean! We ordered a Shrimp and Chicken Bowl. When I first opened the shrimp bowl, I smelled that fresh grilled shrimp aroma over fresh vegetables and hot rice. Wife reacted, that was nice aroma. Her chicken Bowl was very flavorful. She did not finish her bowl and took half portion home! But keep saying, "Try that Kogi sauce on your shrimps, have a little kick in it!" Good, nice, delicious and well done! They have spicy pork, Kogi beef bowl and more. But now we started to wonder how the tacos and burritos tasted with the Korean touch? The place is clean! Staff helpful and very quick service. Will try the Kogi beef or Bibimbap bowl next time when in the neighborhood!

They didn't ask my spice preference, which is usually no problem at most restaurants, but they always seem to lean into the spice too much here. The red curry was pretty spicy, I would say it's what places usually call medium-hot and the penang had better flavor and was more medium spice. I prefer my curry on the mild side. I wish they would ask instead of just making everything kinda spicy. Next time I will also ask for no sliced bamboo shoots.

The crispy duck served here is not deboned nor fried to a crisp. The lighting is so low that it is difficult to see many details of the food or tables, but when I looked to the right ; I noticed the tables had several stains from not being properly cleaned. I was the first customer of the day and the waitress sent the half duck back to the kitchen to be refried and packed separately from sauce to go . Pictures included. The price doesn't equal quantity or quality. The lunch specials are probably the best way to go but I wanted crispy duck , so I paid the $33.60 plus tax. The service was friendly and adequate. I know that a duck breast would be better sliced for crispy duck and the Panang curry could stand some green pepper, and cream as opposed to broccoli and milk.
