After a long drive home from Florida last weekend, arriving early Saturday morning, there was only one place we wanted to go for dinner that night--Moonstone Modern Asian. If you're looking for a comfortable, clean, white-tablecloth restaurant serving consistently good Chinese food, this is the place. Tonight I brought a friend who is visiting from Europe. As soon as we walked in, Irma, the manager, warmly greeted us and seated us right away. Irma is always so gracious, and attentive. She has a natural way of making every guest feel genuinely welcomed and remembered. My friend ordered a lychee martini, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We shared half a Beijing duck, steamed Chilean sea bass prepared two ways, crunchy seafood fried rice, and finished with ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious. Eric and Miki were our servers tonight--attentive, professional, and pleasant throughout the evening. The entire team, including Eric, Miki, Alex, and Johnny, is always welcoming and attentive. My husband and I dine here almost weekly, and over the years we've brought many family members and friends here as well. Moonstone has truly become one of our favorite neighborhood spots for authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

I found this business looking for a place to take my husband for his birthday. The decor is really nice, the bar is on the right when you walk in, the tables are centered in the middle and a little close together. The tables for larger parties are on the outside. We ordered the soup for two which was really good with shrimp, chicken and various other stuff in a tasty broth. Appetizers: Shrimp toast which I didn't care for, no taste of shrimp anywhere Salt n pepper Calamari was good and not chewy Entree: Shrimp n Lobster Sauce was really good and taste fresh Pork Tenderloin, it was fried and had a good flavored sauce but, the pork was so thin , you didn't taste pork. Mongolian Beef was a little bland The service was on point read more

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. read more

Good but was way too expensive for Cantonese food. Their drinks and sushi way overpriced too. Rather spend the money on a fab Greek, Italian restaurant or steakhouse. My favorite is a Chinese takeout spot in Fresh Meadows. The ribs are not $25 like at Moonstone. They also don't clear their lot well when it snows, always icy and unsalted. We prefer Orient Garden on Herricks Rd. Sushi at Aiko in Port Wash is fab. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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! read more

Delicious!! Beautiful seating and excellent services. Worth the trip from eastern Nassau County.

Dined in for a group of 5 on day before Thanksgiving. Place was half empty, spacious, nicely designed. We ordered - Spicy edamame Rock shrimp tempura Pork Shumai Chicken Shumai Hot & sour soup Beef short ribs Lobster+shrimp wonton Cucumber roll Mango shrimp roll Fried black bass While Beijing duck Vegetable fried rice Shrimp lo mein Thai chicken fried rice Beef chow mein Dranks - Ozeki Sake Lychee martini Volcano blast Emperor's mojito Our waiter Eric was a disappointment. His friendliness was rough around the edges, borderline aggressive. Not much help when asked to reccomend items off the menu, constantly walked away while asking questions and/or taking down orders. Quickly leaving and walking by as if thsy were full house or short staffed (place was half empty and staff everywhere). Anyways, food was okay. Nothing special. Beef ribs, lobster&shrimp wonton, fried black sea bass are worth noting. Drinks were fine. Price to taste ratio is disappointing - mediocre taste for Steakhouse price. Whole duck is better at Flushing, Queens and much cheaper. After all, it is Great Neck. read more

The food here at moonstone is very very good and the service is great and ambiance is very good and every thing is really great I would give this place 5 stars ! read more

How did I previously give Moonstone only 4 stars and not 5? It is truly fine dining...at its finest. Tonight, for a belated birthday celebration for my dad, we ordered some of our usual (pan fried noodles and yang chow fried rice), and we also tried some dishes for the first time: crispy lemon chicken and tangerine scallops. Boy, am I glad we decided to deviate a bit from our norm, because both of these dishes were distinctly, lightly citrusy...and delicious! We've been missing out! The sauce for the crispy lemon chicken complemented the chicken very nicely: it was not tart or sour but rather light and pleasant in its citrus flavor. Really, these two dishes just married fruity and meaty so perfectly! As I recall from previous visits, the servers were very courteous and attentive. Decor and setup of the restaurant is very classy, and the restaurant is also nice and clean. The menu is extensive, with unique dishes categorized - and it's actually a shame that we hadn't ventured off to try new dishes until tonight! I recommend going for something that sounds interesting, bc Moonstone has yet to disappoint (and I doubt it will!). read more

Very nice, felt a bit underdressed, lol. Food was fantastic and staff were efficient and friendly. Will be back

Oh how the (semi) mighty have fallen. We paid our annual visit to Moonstone and it will be our last. The food was so so at best, but the true disappointment was the service. In a word, abysmal. We came for lunch and there was literally no one in the restaurant so they can't use the excuse that they were "busy." More like busy doing nothing. Since our party was on the small side, we asked how many people does each dish serve. The waiter shrugged and said "it depends on how hungry you are." We could not get a straight answer. After receiving our order, I can tell you each plate will serve between 2-2.5 people. This is not rocket science and a server should have an answer to this very basic question. They rushed us through the meal. We ordered a second serving of soup dumplings (which are tasty) and they proceed to take away all our silverware. When I reminded them we had more (of the same) food coming, they said, we will give you new utensils because the kitchen will get confused. Huh? Also, they cleared our plates while my mother was still eating. Literally, she was still eating and they took away her plate. Unacceptable. We won't be coming back. read more

The food, ambiance, and service were excellent. The highlight of the night was the tangerine scallops, which were the best. I will definitely return to this place. read more

A glamorous upscale spa like atmosphere with beautiful drinks and beautiful waiters, I so recommend this place for the creative food, great noise acoustics, and service! read more

Loved the food. Mongolian lamb chops especially!!! and the best hot & sour soup. And the service was excellent

Chinese restaurant with a very upscale setting and prices to match with that! While the overall food was good, you're left wondering "why did I pay $30+ for Chinese food that would normally cost less than $10 anywhere else?" The food wasn't elevated to justify the cost vs any typical hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Service and ambiance were great, but if you're looking to pay for overpriced food, then this is the place to go. read more

Everything is excellent at this restaurant the ambience the service is outstanding and the food is delicious. I highly recommend it.

We drove past this place a week ago. My friends and I decided to expand our restaurant catalog. When Saturday night came around we knew just where to go. We pulled up to a full parking lot which was encouraging yet worrysome that there would be a long wait. We were expeditiously seated and greated by the friendliest staff. We loved the decor & bar area. Then we cracked open that menu... and oh, that MENU! That delicious dictionary. It was large but so was my appetite. We shared the chicken dumplings & the vegetable pan fried gyoza. As we tasted the flavors our eye's widened in disbelief (we may have just found our new spot!) We ordered as if we were a party of 10 just so we could try more dishes. Going from sushi, to lemon grass chicken, to a simple yet delicious chicken fried rice. Everything was amazing. We left there filled to the brim smiling ear to ear. Would 1,000% recommend. read more

We went back to try different dishes and see if we finaaly foubd a Chinese restaurant with high quality fiid, ambiance and food. The menu offers a wide variety of Chinese and sushi. The ambiance is pleasant and refined, with seating areas, lighting, and tableclothes. We ordered cocktails and appetizers of salt & pepper calamari and salmon tartare. The calamatlri was excellent, the tartare not of top quality. It was pieces of salmon and avocado with a mushy mayonause based mixture. We followed with a whole steamed striped bass in what was suppossed to be a ginger, scallion sauce. The North Carolina black bass listed on the menu was unavailable. The flavor was good but there was no ginger. There was ample food for 2 people and we were done and asked for the check. THAT WAS WHEN THE OUTRSGEOUS CHARGES APPEARED!. We had ordered basic cocktails, one with Tanqueray Gin and a Manhattan made with Knob Creek bourbon. The upcharge for the Knob Creek, above the $17 charge for the Manhattan was $11.00, bringing the cost to $28 + tax. We have dined all over the world and this ridiculous overcharge may be the most ludicrous charge I have ever received. Any being yelled at to boot. We will never return to this establishment and hope this makes all those reading it forewarned. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS RESTAURANT. read more

Came here for Mother's Day dinner and had the best time. The staff were super cool and funny. The food came out family style and we didn't even realize. We definitely could've shared our entrees, but we all took doggy bags to go which isn't an issue. The roast pork is absolutely my favorite thing we ordered. So juicy and flavorful. Every dish was amazing though. I love that they give fried wonton skins as a free nibble. It's cute and a bit upscale inside. Better to overdress than underdress I say! read more

Came on New Years Eve with my friend Carol. We had the wonton egg drop soup and then we shared the kung pao chicken and the mushrooms dish with bok choy. Both were delicious.

I understand why this place has such great reviews. It is extremely cozy, yet roomy inside. The staff is very kind, inviting, and attentive. The menu has so many different options, it's extremely hard to choose what to have. The food and drinks were brought out extremely quickly. The food was hot and fresh. When leaving they faced our leftovers very neatly. The ice cream hit the spot after dinner. A must try. I will definitely be back. read more

Have been here a few times now and have to say the food is just delicious! The perfect neighbourhood spot with classic and modern Chinese/Japanese eats! I came in for a taste test while I was looking for venues for my sons first birthday and was just blown away by how beautiful the restaurant is. It's modern, chic, and a little edgy, all while being spacious and welcoming thanks to the incredible staff! The dishes I've tried so far are the crispy eggplant, hot and sour soup, dim sum platter, crispy prawn balls, avocado sushi, chicken clay pot, prawn Szechuan, Thai chicken curry, and the cheesecake. I don't think I've had a thing I haven't liked!!! The crispy eggplant was sweet, spicy, and perfectly textured, especially with the crispy peanuts thrown in! The prawn balls, so juicy and flavourful, and so so filling! They were just massive! The dim sum platter was ok, I've had better but all in all a small variety of dimsum options that will do the trick if you're in a pinch. The chicken clay pot was so so innovative, LOVED this dish the most, the flavours were so interesting, a classic Chinese dish, with a basil twist! The Thai chicken curry and prawn Szechuan I had during my most recent trip and they were absolute perfection - the only thing that made the meal even more epic was the INCREDIBLE cheesecake - which they said was made in house! You'd think there was a baker in the back making these incredible cheesecakes fresh!!!!! So unexpected but a welcome surprise! Looking forward to coming back again:.. and again!!!! Also very baby friendly with clean bathrooms! read more

We were a party of seven. Two of the "girls" (age 79) were celebrating their birthdays. Soup was excellent - now the problem begins! ONE meal arrived. after TWENTY MINUTES the rest of the meals arrived. The waiter said there was a computer glitch. During that period he said we would all get a complimentary dessert. He - and management reneged on the promise! My wife and I had been to Moonstone many times. the food was generally excellent, but not this time! We all agreed that we would NEVER return to Moonston. A VERY bad dining experience! read more
