Vegan friendly Moonlight has an all-vegan menu. I highly recommend their Hot Pot and amazingly delicious tomato-based soup. The soup "wowed" me with complex flavors. Like many Vietnamese soups it came with mildly spicy pepper slices, lime wedge, bean sprouts and fresh basil on the side to add as you like. Hot Pot: Moonlight offers an array of vegetable protein shaped into succulent bites that resemble meat, poultry, and seafood. The ambiance has had a recent upgrade. Woodwork gleamed and festive lanterns hung from the ceiling. read more

One of the best vegetarian spot I like in Seattle. They have all kind of options. From vegan to none vegan. The vibe in there is pretty chill. Been going there since a child. I can always count on this place when I want some good real vegan food. read more

Ambiance: Relaxed and casual Environment with fun music playing. It's perfect for a warm day as it feels toasty inside! Food: Green Menu Vs Black Menu The Green Menu is all 100% Vegan! I really appreciate that as sometimes it can be hard to figure out which options are available amongst all the meat options. I choose the Vegan Orange Chicken and it was delicious! It also came with well cooked vegetables. The portion wasn't overwhelming which many restaurants in the US tend to do. Taste was great! You can tell they season their food and it wasn't overly sweet. The Black Menu is Meat. My husband ordered a the Grilled Pork and Eggroll. He recommends it as one of his favorite dishes growing up. Lots of nostalgia. Service: Very nice staff that let us choose our seating and was very quick to bring our food. read more

I ordered from here last month for the first time, the food was delicious (ordered 4 dishes, they were all good). I ordered again today, there was a freaking cockroach in the soup. I ate half the soup before I found the bug. Disgusting, this is a serious health code violation. I don't usually post, but I wanted to give everyone a warning to check your food before you start eating. read more

With the loss of Bamboo Garden in Queen Anne and a few more of my vegetarian stables, I find myself increasingly reliant on Moonlight Cafe and they do not disappoint! The best part about coming more often is that I can now explore the rest of the menu instead of ordering my favorite every time. I had been coming to Moonlight for years but never knew that they had a whole section of noodle soups! I just love bun rieu (previously the meaty version, now the vegan versions at ChuMinh and LovingHut)! And I can't believe how many veggies and proteins they throw on top of their wonton noodle soup! My new favorite now is the veggie congee and singaporean vermicelli. That's a combo fit for the most classic chinese breakfast. read more

I've never had vegan food as delicious as the meal I had from Moonlight Cafe. Every single entree I tried was so tasty. This is my new favorite place in International District. I'll definitely be back! My friends and I ordered the following dishes: - Vegan General Tso's Chicken - Vegan Pork Skewers - Veggie Chow Mein - Mongolian Beef - Sweet & Sour Chicken I would recommend every single dish. It's rare to find vegan options of Asian meals that taste use protein-based meat instead of tofu. My friends and I were very impressed. read more

Got some pandemic takeout from Moonlight Cafe in the Central District: - Cashew chicken lunch plate, 4/5 - Bamboo chicken noodle soup with crystal noodles, 4/5 - Shredded tofu rolls (vegan), 3.5/5 They also have plenty of both meat and vegan dishes.  Lunch specials are available every day, and online ordering makes it easy peasy during covid times. read more

Ordered takeout when lots of other locations were closed. Staff are friendly, looked super busy. Sweet and sour chicken: could almost fool the veggie, the meat eaters were happy with taste but could tell the plant powered origin. 3.5/5 Tom yum soup- very spicy and sour, it's a real throat cleanser. Some people's favorite, just not mine 1/5 Bok choy: overcooked, not too bad 3/5 Fresh roll: pretty typical, very long roll and heavy wrapped in plastic 3/5 read more

Delicious Vietnamese food for vegetarians and meat eaters! Call ahead if you don't want to wait long for your food to be made during rush hours. I've tried the vegetarian combination vermicelli (đặc biệt) and vegetarian bun Bo hue. Both really good and with mock meat, not just tofu. My husband loves the combination vermicelli meat version with shrimp, grilled meat, egg rolls, and noodles. Can't wait to try other dishes! read more

I love that Moonlight caters to non-meat-eaters by offering a full vegan version of their regular menu. It's extensive. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls (regular menu), orange chicken (vegan menu), and the shanghai curry noodles (vegan menu). Everything was tasty, and we ended up taking home quite a bit of food. Service was attentive and friendly. Interior isn't noteworthy (think cafeteria) aside from the karaoke stage, but it's comfortable. We found it odd that they were projecting on the stage wall a video of animals being prepared to eat. Not very appetizing... read more

Pleasantly surprised by the improvements at this old time Vietnamese restaurant. Use to eat and sing karaoke here in the 90's. Food is good but the pho and bun bo hue are the stars. Actually the vegetarian food is probably the main attraction but I wouldn't know. Service is good. read more

Wow ! I'm very impressed with their vegetarian items here, not sure if it's vegan or vegetarian but I had to change my diet to low fat and mainly vegetables due to a health condition. Their chick'n pho was delicious ! Broth was slightly on the sweet side but full of flavor , lots of topping and you wouldn't be missing a thing ! I also ordered their vegetable congee and that was really yummy too , lots of veggies in there and hint of sesame oil flavor as well. Def will come back to try more veggie dishes!! read more

Everything is great until they charged me for a side of rice when I ordered special rice. This is not an entree! I never ever have to pay for rice when I order rice dish at Vietnamese restaurant. The description literally states that it comes with broken rice. Do you charge people separately for rice when they order fried rice too? LOL read more

A small hole in the wall place that has amazing all vegetarian options, mimicking taste of all kinds of meat. Many options from Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. I tried vegan chicken Bahn mi sandwich, and also the buffet. Really good. Friendly staff. Small place, free tables. read more

I have been to this place several times because of their food. They have a separate menu for vegetarians and non vegetarians. They have the best vegetarian Pho with several veggies meat added. Do not judge the look of the restaurant but their food is awesome and yummy. If you try the vegetarian food you can't even tell it is vegetarian because it tastes like a real meat. You will keep coming back. It is on Jackson Street next to Franz Bakery. Try it!!! read more

One of the best vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle! They do have meat option but I always order off the vegetarian menu. If you're looking for a healthy, clear broth noodle soup, I recommend #45 hu tieu mi chay comes with veggies, tofu and "fake" meat that's the gluten. I also recommend the Vietnamese curry, a subtle curry with more coconuty curry that is light and delicious with rice. Canh chua (hot and sour soup Vietnamese style) and tofu lotus salad are also my favorites to share with groups. This place does Togo and dine in, I just dined in today. So good!! read more

Their crispy chow mein (vegetarian) is the best! Tastes super authentic and just like how I had it in Vietnam. 5/5 food quality read more

Really tasty! Highly underrated and easy on the wallet. Good value. HUGE menu to choose from and pretty much everything can be done as a vegan / vegetarian dish. Restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but pleasant surprise once inside and the food is GREAT! Had the vegan chicken lemongrass vermicelli bowl. Fresh ingredients and the vegan chicken was nice and crispy. Seriously good sauce. read more

You know how expensive Seattle is, right? Do you feel tired of paying more than 10 dollars per dish on average whenever you just simply want good Asian food in Downtown Seattle? Well, look no further... Moonlight Cafe has all to offer if you're into authentic Vietnamese food, and I know you are because it's part of being in the diverse city. All funny jokes aside from my corny opening statement above, Moonlight Cafe offers vegan/non-vegan options. So friends, please don't feel obligated to discriminate anyone. Everyone is welcome here! I ordered chicken fried rice and pan-fried noodles. I have to admit... fried rice was on fire. I dig it. I know I won't order the pan-fried noodles again, but that doesn't mean I'd knock one star off of my review for Moonlight. I dig the whole karaoke lounge in the restaurant, which gives you the Asian Persuasion vibe. I am totally kidding! I'll come back here again if I am ever in the area, which I know I am because my girl friend's already talking about having a birthday dinner here. :D read more

Pretty good food, conveniently located close by. Great go to place to get a bite to eat!

3.5 I'd say. I can always appreciate places that have vegetarian options. The decor was simple, service was not really there once food hit the table. So I had the tofu porridge. It was pretty good for what it was. I'd say on the porridge side of things I've had better, this had too much water in it. Took away from the overall flavor. I did like the addition of veggies for it and the crispy tofu skin. The other tofu in the dish and meat alternatives were nice here and there. If the porridge had just been on point this would've been great. I kinda wish I had chili crisp and oil but that's just personal preference really. All in all, if I was in the area again I'd probably try something different and see where it takes me. read more

Not in a million years would I have known Moonlight Cafe is a Vietnamese location from the outside. They do cater to the vegans with tofu, fake meat soy products but what I came for is the traditional clay pot catfish and also the tamarind soup. Claypot catfish (Cá Kho To) - My all time favorite dish that must be accompanied by the tamarind soup. The soft braised fish is cooked in a caramelized sauce. Meat is tender and sauce is just about perfect. A wee bit more pepper and ginger to make it just right. Tamarind soup (Canh chua) - a tamarind, sour soup that goes well with a claypot dish like fish, shrimp or pork. Their version is good but is toned down quite a bit. If only they would use more herbs, fried garlic and additional sourness, the soup would exactly how mom used to make. This type of soup needs to be kickin' with flavor! They have their own parking lot and there is plenty of parking on the street as it isn't next to all the other business in the ID. Fair prices and food here. read more

"I know a good spot"......glad I trusted a friend's recommendation to come to this place. As we pulled up in the slightly sketch parking lot, mini-mart with bars on the windows, a sighting of a man with an unleashed wolf in the lot, and the wonderful smell of the Franz bread bakery, I wasnt sure what we were in for. Got a slight 80s look to it, with neon signs and decor, some mismatched furniture etc. But the gentleman that greeted us was very nice and I was in too deep to turn around. They have a vegetarian/vegan menu and a regular menu for meat eaters which is a plus. Everything looked so good and we didnt know what to get. Hot tea is offerred while we comtemplated on ordering from veg menu or regular menu. Server came back shortly and as we began to order the server triple checked with us to make sure who was vegan/vegetarian or not. Nice that they take the time to make sure as one of us in the group is vegan. "Real meat or fake meat"??? was the important question. I decided to stick with the veg menu, I ordered the Tofu Fried Rice but with egg, so it's non vegan but vegetarian. Super tasty, freshly cooked so it was super hot right off the wok. Very light, not with heavy soy or anything, tasty tofu chunks and a good amount of veg. A heaping plate full too so the portion was a plenty! My friends ordered Vegan Chow Mein and a Vegan Vermicelli Bowl, I got a taste of both and tasted wonderful and mental notes to order that next time. My other buddy ordered the regular Mongolian Beef and that was quite tasty as well, he enjoyed it very much and it was super flavorful. We all enjoyed everything and I would totally come back. Service was fine, no issues, super friendly staff and pricing was fine too. As we waddled out into the parking lot after dinner, the wolf was gone. read more

I love this place. Their vegan menu is extensive and I'm accustomed to having only a few items on a menu to choose from. You can't go wrong. I got the sesame "beef" and one of my friends got the eggplant clay pot. We both loved it. Our carnivorous friend got the sweet and sour chicken and also gave 2 thumbs up. It's a must to visit if you are vegan or vegetarian. Flavor and freshness is unbeatable. Also, check out their great beer menu! Beer from Japan, China, Thailand, and Korea! read more

Yeeeehaw, this place is a superb place for those who are vegetarian/vegan. For me, I normally love eating regular dishes with meat, but every time I go here, I always end up ordering from the vegetarian/vegan menu (the green version) over the regular dishes simply because of how delicious the food is. After visiting this restaurant for the past few years, quality has remained consistent and tasty. Most items are family sized and for the combo meals, these are often big and filling portions for individuals. If you decide you want to venture on the vegetarian / vegan side but fear missing out on your usual "meaty" taste, have no worries! Most of the vegetarian dishes share the same exact name as its meaty counterpart except......the meat is substituted with various ingredients like lotus roots, tofu, and etc. So really, half the time when you eat, you'll forget that you're eating some veggie thing (and not meat) but really think it taste like meat :P For my group, we ordered (all vegetarian / vegan option): Combo fried rice, sweet & sour spareribs, chicken nuggets like appetizer, curry stir fried beef, pan fried combo noodles, chow mein combo, and a few other small items. Alas, my group ate too fast for me to snap photos of everything, but let me tell you, everything was good. For the curry stir fried beef, this was yummy with its spicy texture (you must tell the waiter that you want the dish spicy if that's your thing) and flavorful taste. As for the fried rice and chow mein, these were seasoned perfectly that you didn't need to put anything on it. As for the pan fried noodles and sweet & sour spareribs, both were sweet and salty and had a good balance of everything. Overall, you really can't go too wrong in ordering food here. Service may be a bit slow but the staff does try their best to please everyone. Plus, this place does well with large parties, so it's a great place to dine and eat yummy Viet food with friends and families :) read more

I can't believe I've never been here before! I don't know how many times I've driven by. It definitely looks run down and gives that hole in the wall vibe but it's quite delicious. There are some designated parking spots in the lot and there's also free street parking if you can't find any. Relatively spacious restaurant with plenty of seating to accommodate large and small groups. I go the dry glass noodles with a mix of veggies. Their meat substitute was delicious! The portion size was pretty large and I was quite impressed. I love how fresh everything tastes and not overly salty. Also the dish was $8! That's pretty rare to find in Seattle now a days. I'll definitely be back to try other items! read more

I love pho. This pho was overpriced , lukewarm, served with ice cold noodles . The to go package was unwieldy, with the wider part on top and prone to tip over. Soup tastes ok, but very little chicken and the chicken tastes off. I can't forgive lukewarm pho though. Miss the places in White Center; they are so much better for less read more

A little gem close to the International district. A friend showed me this place when we went to high school, and I've been hooked ever since! Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a priority to come here. It's not in the best area- but the price and quality of food makes up for it! There's not much places I know of that sells both vegan food and meat at the same place (which makes it convenient for me to get my food and the person I'm with) without having to go to two separate places. My favorite things I've tried so far is the Kung pao chicken (V), Mongolian beef (V), sesame beef (V), and the vermicelli noodle bowl. I don't ever spend more than $15 here and I have a whole meal plus leftovers! And for a bonus, they have vegan fish sauce read more

Yay to more vegetarian Viet places! (I recognize it's not new, just new to me). I tried their crispy seafood chow mein, canh chua, sweet and sour chicken, and pho.

Wow! What amazing food vegan food! I was blown away at their vegan options and just how good they are. I've gotten both the lunch specials and the entrees and I would recommend entrees for the size. I love their vegan orange chicken and their Mongolian beef vegan dishes My favorite thing to do is to add the vegan shrimp to dishes. I don't know how they make it but it tastes sooo good. I'd also recommend their vegetarian stir fry noodle dish and the satay appetizer. They do wonderful takeout orders as I've gone here several times during the pandemic. They always are quick and their packaging is wonderful! I'd highly recommend you stop by Moonlight Cafe for a takeout order for the most delicious Chinese food I've had in a while! read more

I convinced the kids to try Moonlight Cafe with me. Everything was soooooo good! I was not expecting to love the goi cuon chat as much as I did. The variety in textures and flavors blew me away; this is now my all time favorite cuon of any kind (I'm including nem nuong cuon from Brodard). The other thing I love about this place is that they do both vegetarian AND meat options equally well.

If you are okay with bad service and just want to quickly grab cheap food, then come here. Otherwise don't pay to get your mood ruined by the terrible service. Food will be 4 star. Cheap but large portion. Taste decent too. Come super fast. Recommend the spicy beef soup and the stir fried seafood with vegetables under lunch menu. Their porridge is a little disappointing. The service is probably a 1 star. Slow and rude. No service unless asked. Want to order? Raise your hand for about a minute then maybe they will notice? Want drink? Raise your hand to request. Say thank you and get no reply. Want napkin? Go to the front desk and get yourself. read more

A mostly Chinese & Vietnamese restaurant of average quality - perfectly edible food, a 1960s atmosphere, and friendly staff.
