So delicious! Wish we had a place like this in Az! We had mushu chicken , scallion cakes, duck egg rolls, crispy beef and the best bread pudding for dessert. Everything is elegantly served, atmosphere was great, service excellent. Loved it! read more

This is probably my go to sushi place in the area. I usually get salmon avocado rolls to go. The dim sum platters are good as well.

I ordered take-out from here. Nothing bad. Nothing amazing. Very normal. For the price, I think you could probably find better. LOTS of asian food places around here, I wouldn't say this is the best. read more

Tommy Lee and the entire staff of Moonstone went above and beyond to make my Uncle Jimmy's 90th birthday celebration a truly special event. We were only a small group of 9 for dinner but we had decided in advance to go with their catering option. Every detail from the personalized printed menus, to the service and of course the food was SUPERB! Tommy Lee especially was such a pleasure to work with and so accommodating of all my requests. I've eaten dinner at Moonstone before and the food is delicious and the space is so beautiful and clean, but now I know I can recommend Moonstone for special events too! read more

I have dined at this restaurant several times as of late. Each time, the meal was delicious and the service highly professional and attentive. All of the food is very fresh and the restaurant boasts a very clean and airy environment. The wait staff is very eager to please. Highly recommend. read more

This is about my 10th visit so far and I never write reviews (as a matter of fact this is actually my first review) but my experience here is always breathtaking. First of all, I'd like to say (to my opinion at least) this is the best authentic Chinese Restaurant in Long Island. The decor is so modern and elegant. Those crunchy fried noodles that they serve to you in the beginning along with the side of duck sauce and spicy mustard has HAVE to be THEEE most addictive starter that I've ever encountered. I couldn't keep my hand off those noodles. The service is absolutely impeccable. Our waiter Eddie was so accommodating and his recommendation was the highlight of the evening. If you love roast pork as much as I do then you'll love the Lacquered Ribs! Boneless, Lean, Sweet, Savory, Tender... you can't fail! I requested to order the Mongolian Beef and Eddie recommended the Mongolian Delight which was an even better option and it was delightful. Such an amazing experience overall. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Moonstone - Chinese Near Me - Great Neck, New York

This used to be harvest buffet which my family frequented all the day. Now it's a "upscale" chinese restaurant targeted at the non chinese community. I have several main complaints with this place -rude chinese workers who barely spoke english . He bore down on me as I was writing the bill -whats up with the sushi pizza? I know you are trying to make a fusion but thr "dough" is as hard as a rock. -i paid plus tip , $80 for one app and two entrees . Not worth the money, considering how I didnt even order fish or seafood. For those willing to work, drive to flushing for much better food at a much morr reasonable price. read more

I believe this place deserves a Yelp review. We took our mom here for her birthday partially because she was curious to see what has become of her beloved Harvest Buffet. It was a Wednesday evening and it was not crowded. I'd consider Moonstone as an "upscale Chinese restaurant". Decor was ultra modern and the prices were on the higher spectrum of Chinese food. I haven't been to many Chinese restaurants such as Moonstone. It had a very upscale vibe but was not pretentious at all. Moonstone is definitely not your typical Chinese restaurant. It is not cheap (but not overly expensive) and the service was great. Also, the bathroom was in pristine condition. Based on the reviews that I read here, we ordered the steak in "birds nest" and the thrice cooked pork. We also ordered the Peking duck and a fish dish. I thought all of the dishes were delicious. The food was also prepared in a way suited for non-Chinese clientele. The fish was completed de-boned and the duck was wrapped for us. We're Chinese so we're used to doing the work ourselves. We were glad to have treated our mom to a "fancy" feeling dinner. I really enjoyed my first experience at Moonstone. Hopefully the quality of the food and staff remains the same in the long run. Even though we are sad that Harvest Buffet is no longer around, I hope Moonstone will be around for a while. read more

Never disappointed when I come here. Love the food, atmosphere, drinks and very attentive staff. The fried noodles with duck sauce and mustard and the ice cream reminds me of the Chinese food restaurant I grew up going to, Ho Wing in Little Neck. Cherished memories I have there. Lots of vegetarian items offered on the menu, as well as a gluten free menu. Highly recommend this place. read more

This post is dedicated to people who are looking for gluten-free restaurants. First off, let me just say that I LOVE THIS PLACE! My husband has celiac disease so it is very important that we find a place that takes gluten-free cuisine seriously. We first found out about this restaurant because we had dinner here for a friend's birthday December of last year. Since then, we have been here 5 times in the last 2 months! The ambience of the restaurant is amazing and the staff is always helpful and friendly. They always have fresh flowers on every table and is super clean. The cocktails are consistently good and amazing! Now to the food - everything on the menu is so good (we have tried almost everything). So good that it's hard to pick a favorite! Usually when Chinese restaurants serve gluten-free food, it is bland because they do not use gluten-free soy sauce. This place cooks the dishes with gluten-free ingredients and the taste is not compromised. My favorite from the gluten-free menu is the Stir fry jumbo prawn schezuan. My husband loves the Beef chow fun and Chicken fried rice. As an appetizer, we always get the Moon stone chicken lettuce wrap. The best thing is, all gluten-free dishes come out with a wooden marker that states "gluten-free" to avoid any confusion when going out with friends. Another tip: They have happy hour Sunday- Friday from 4PM-7PM and reverse happy hour Saturday and Sunday 9PM-11PM. I came here with my girlfriends for happy hour on a Tuesday and got 50% off all drinks and 20% off appetizers and sushi. We had a great time and food was delicious. In conclusion, if you are trying to find a gluten-free Chinese restaurant, this place is the place to go. My husband has eaten here and has never had a problem with the food. This means no contamination and delicious flavorful food. This place is highly recommended! read more

Amped up run of the mill suburban (yucky) Chinese food. If you rate a place by transmuting good looks into quality food then I can see how this place is rated so highly. If you have actually had high-quality, high end Chinese food somewhere else (most likely not on Long Island), you would certainly know that this place is sub-par despite its good sleek looks and highly capable service staff and friendly management. I'm not saying that you should not go to this place. I am saying that you should manage your expectations because this is far from a gourmet Chinese experience and is truly nothing more than a local take-out quality Chinese food joint that happens to dress itself up very nicely. read more

Terrible place. Came here on Sunday and ordered 200 $ worth of food . Left a 20$ tip and the Asian older waiter came up to me and complained that I left way too little. For this I will tell everyone that this place is horrible!!! The waiter then proceeded to harass me in front of my guests saying the 20$ tip was too little and that if there were no problems he expected more. However there were several problems which I will make sure that the manager is aware of. First we ordered five soups and only 4 were brought to the table. By the time we finished our soups we asked what happened to 5th soup the waiter States that he never got the order. it is very unprofessional to bring food to 4 people when there are 5 people at the table and they are expecting their food and then the other one eats their food cold. I have been to many businesses and I have never seen them doing that you bring all the food in at once not making other people wait to eat. Secondarily it is disrespectful to come up to the customer and request a higher tip. this person should be fired just for this action not only did he ruin our night but he also ruined the reputation of the restaurant because I have already told several people of this event. If you are unhappy working as a waiter in your wages are minimal then perhaps you should look into another occupation but you should not harass the customer and request for more money. Quite frankly I am debating calling my credit card and having a dispute towards this location because that waiter just totally ruined my mood. Tip is optional not mandatory! You can't expect it because of this I will not be coming back. Waiters should respect the customer not fight with them. This was rude and unacceptable. read more

This is one of the best Asian restaurants on Long Island . The food is wonderful and the service is exemplary. I recommend the following: Tom Yum Goong. with Shrimp Sea Bass /with Chili Sauce Crunchy Seafood Rice All of the above were absolutely scrumptious. The choices of wine are exceptional. A great place to go for a leisurely Sunday lunch or a Friday/Saturday Night dinner. A hidden treasure! read more

I grew up in Hong Kong but also went to university in California. So while I know what the authentic Chinese cuisine tastes like, I understand the necessary fusion style for Chinese restaurants in USA to succeed here. Moonstone is decent, none of the dishes tasted horrible. The lunch prices, in fact, are good. However, I was most disappointed with the Beijing Duck. You're paying almost $30 for a whole duck. I've ordered a Peking duck numerous times in Hong Kong, and you're definitely not being given the portion of a whole duck at Moonstone. It's probably closer to half a duck when you order a whole, and a quarter of a duck when you order a half. It's true that even in Asia you are not served the whole duck when wrapping it with the wraps. However, they serve the remainder of the duck in a second course: either in a duck noodle soup or a cabbage wrap with pine nuts and duck. Of course, the restaurant will say: "we're not in China" or "this isn't Hong Kong." But I thought this was America where portions tend to be overly generous. A proper serving of Beijing duck should allow each person in a party of 4 have about 3-4 wraps. Here, each person only gets 2. Other than that, the other main dishes were delicious, beautifully plated. The atmosphere is classy and clean. Although it was rather confusing with the accompanying Japanese sushi menu...it seems like a restaurant trying to be too many things. read more

Tonight I tried the spare ribs which were incredibly good and the shrimp in lobster sauce which was very good too. A few more dishes of this caliber and I'm upgrading this this place to five stars. read more

I came here again and I was blown away. I came here for a family birthday and we were immediately seated. They introduced valet parking, which was nice, although the parking lot is large enough for independent parking. The decor is still ravishing. The service was great, although they took away plates before we were finished with them. The menu is constantly changing, with so many different options to choose from. To start, we got the dim sum platter, which I had wrote about in my prior review. The shumai were amazing. The vegetable dumpling was surprisingly yummy and so was the basic chicken dumpling. The crystal dumpling was fantastic and the coral dumpling was the best out of the 5, with delicious, fresh seafood. As always, we order the chow fun, which was perfect, so tasty, the chicken was perfectly cooked. This time, we had tried the half Beijing Duck. This is served with four pre-made pancakes, served with crispy duck and cucumber, along with little crackers and two duck legs. The pancakes were outstanding, especially with the hoisin sauce. The wrapper was okay, but the beauty was the duck. The legs were so crispy and perfectly cooked. The crackers had a great texture as well. We also had the citrus duck breast with bok choi. The duck breast was amazing, perfectly cooked, with a heavy citrus flavor. Maybe the best dish I have ever had here. The bok choi was bland, but the sauce was delicious with it. We had informed them of the birthday, and they were nice enough to serenade us along with three scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream with a candle. Now that is amazing service. The owner walked around and made our experience worth while. For more information, check out my prior two reviews. read more

Some of the best Asain food in the area. It has been great for takeout and eating there. The prices are a bit high but nothing unreasonable read more

Wife and I had the prix fixe lunch yesterday (3 courses for $15) plus $6 wine and were very impressed. Classic shrimp and lobster sauce and Kung Pao monkfish were great and reasonably large lunch portions.....they also are giving a 20% discount in their first months....friendly staff and very clean modern appearance.....will definitely be back again read more

Many people in the neighborhood love this mainly Chinese food restaurant. As a senior person who went there with another senior person, we were ignored by wait staff. We couldn't even get their attention while they were chatting near the kitchen. Food is very expensive for small portions. If you're a senior, take your money elsewhere. read more

We had the pork with chili. Visually not pleasing and did not have a hint of spice at all. Pork tasted like chicken almost. The rack of lamb was ok tasted like beef and had too much sauce. We had the half Peking duck did not know they would be wrapped already and I was expecting the white traditional buns but the duck was prepared nicely. Decor of the place was very nice. Oh. There's no refill of sodas. read more

Food here seriously lacks flavor and spice. Very bland and Americanized. Service is excellent however. But I would not return.

Love, love, love this place! Everything about it - the food, the décor, the service - was simply fantastic! The restaurant is decorated beautifully: very elegant and upscale. The menu is huge! We had the Pork Belly Sliders and the Two Hotties sushi roll (spicy salmon & black pepper tuna with avocado & spicy mayo). Both dishes were mouth-wateringly good and highly recommended. Service was top notch too - we sat at the bar and were served by Lisa. She was so sweet, super attentive and made our time there all the better. Needless to say, we'll be returning! read more

I really want to love this place. The restaurant itself was beautiful, extremely modern, and the service was excellent. But the prices don't match the food (only the decor). Went here on a Weds. after a doctor's appointment. The restaurant is beautiful, very modern. We were seated immediately and our server was very polite. Throughout our dinner, our glasses were always filled, and we were attended to frequently. A+ service. We started with the potstickers, which were far and away our favorite dish of the night. They had great crisp and texture, and the pork on the inside tasted delicious- didn't have that gross mushy mouth feel you sometimes get with chinese dumplings. I also had the hot and sour soup which I was also a big fan of. The consistency was great, not too gelatinous (which you often get with chinese restaurants that use too much corn starch) and a good balance between the spiciness and tart. Unfortunately, the rest of our dishes were just fine. The fried rice was good, but uninspired. The chicken with broccoli, which we asked cooked well done, was NOT cooked well enough. It had a very rubbery texture and was almost undercooked. Not cool with a pregnant wife. ESPECIALLY if we asked for it to be cooked well done. I'm guessing the chicken was somehow steamed and not cooked enough in a pan, but I'm not 100% sure. But the texture was terrible. Lastly, we also got the short rib. The texture again was an issue. My wife couldn't even eat them due to the mouth feel. I was able to eat one piece, but instead of being very tender, it again felt rubbery. I also didn't like the flavor. Perhaps they were overmarinated? Regardless, I liked the short ribs even less than the chicken. So our main courses left much to be desired, but the worst part is the price. I don't mind paying more for great service and atmosphere (which Moonstone did offer), but the main courses were almost under par for a REGULAR chinese restaurant, let alone a restaurant that charges $19 for chicken with broccoli. I really wish I could give a more positive review since I loved the look of the restaurant, the service, and the appetizers. read more

VERY disappointing. On a moderately (but not overwhelmingly) busy evening, with friends: -Seated 20 minutes late. -20 more minutes until our drink order was taken. -20 more minutes until our food order was taken, after we called for the waiter.He was busy setting up the table across from us! -30 more minutes until our food was delivered, after we were getting really agitated. -Table across from us had drinks and dinner, left long before us. -When finally served, food was lousy. Pad Thai was overcooked and mushy. Tangerine Beef was overcooked, tough, and not real warm. -Plain mixed drink cost $14 and was nothing special. -We were quietly fuming. We asked for and got a free bottle of wine. Wow. -No apology offered by the unsmiling crew. If it was MY restaurant, I couldn't have done enough to make it right. A genuinely unpleasant experience. read more

Everything from the service to the food and the decor was excellent. Their attention to detail shows. I love the authentic combination of Asian flavors and fusion dishes. read more

Good happy hour. Drink prices are great. The service is fine. The food selection is a little generic. Hence, 4 out of 5 stars because nothing is wrong with it but nothing is particularly unique. read more

I had a horrible experience ordering from this restaurant. Tonight I ordered the chicken chive dumplings from Moonstone and they gave me raw chicken. Not semi-cooked chicken, completely raw! This is not only disgusting, but extremely dangerous, especially since you cannot see the meat inside of the dumpling that you are eating. I used to order from here, and now they have a lost a customer and I will be taking my business elsewhere. I am disgusted. read more

Moonstone - Chinese Near Me - Great Neck, New York

The food here is alright. Most of the dishes on the menu can be found at your local Chinese take-out, but expect the price to be doubled here (if not more). What you're really paying for is the ambiance and service, which they have done an excellent job with in my opinion. It has a very hotel-like feel, and the waiters are right there when you need them. The sushi is also not bad. read more

Very good management. All of our friends and relatives loved it. read more

Seemed disorganized at first. Lots of people waiting for a table, but it was for Christmas Eve dinner, 7pm. I began to worry as more people came in. What seemed 30 minutes was actually only 12 min when the pretty young hostess sat us. I realized on Christmas Eve seating people quickly was no simple task, and what seemed disorganized was just me worried about getting a table without being frustrated. The place was filled, but we had plenty of comfortable room. The decor was very nice and added a softness to the air. Our waitress was so busy but very attentive. All the staff seemed to know their roles and helped one another. We had an awesome family dinner, with vegan friendly choices for my daughter , the vegetable pad Thai. The lamb was tender, the salt and pepper calamari very tasty, the dumplings and my tangerine prawns were outstanding. The mixed drinks I was told were some of the best my family had tasted, but I had beer :). Thanks for making our Christmas dinner fun and memorable. read more

Best chinese food in Long Island. very good service. Have been going there for last 4 years and never disappointed.

Uhh designed to trick westerners. For Chinese food better go next door to northern manor or the little dumplings restaurant. One star because this place replaced the beloved harvest buffet. However to be fair the food was not terrible read more

Very modern look for an Asian restaurant. I love the variety and presentation. The quality is excellent and I find for the food and ambience the price is very reasonable. This ain't no Chinese take-out. read more
