Chicken
Warren A.

We came here for a party for my mother in law. We were tucked away in a corner so it was like we had a private room. I was sad when harvest buffet closed years ago so I never tried this spot. I wish I had tried it sooner because everything we had on this multi-course meal was amazing. Also service from Henry was amazing as well. The standouts of the meal for me was the duck, steak, and lobster.

Classic Shrimp with Lobster Sauce
Cheryl M.

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

Lemongrass Chicken-Main Course Gluten Free
Adriana H.

We were in the area again and made sure to stop in for another great meal. Lots of gluten free options. Top notch service. Wish we lived closer!

1/11/25 cocktail menu
Stacey S.

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.

Spicy Tuna Roll
Winston L.

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!

Salmon with mushroom sauce
Chris P.

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.

Honey Chicken with Mixed Roasted Nuts
Jacob K.

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

Sushi
Ekat G.

Beautiful restaurant nice ambiance. The steak keep tender and delicious, the shrimp tempura was good the veggies ehh I wished the batter was better. Sushi was a hit! Service was on point but the staff comes to the table much too frequently!

Sesame Chicken
John C.

Came here a few times, the food is pretty good. We ordered a few sushi rolls and mostly order the Chinese food from here. The service is good and very helpful. The ambiance is very upscale and luxurious for Asian fusion spot.

Braised Halibut Claypot
Elena Y.

Nice decor and prompt service. Ordered the halibut clay pot and it was delicious. Tom yum Soup was very good. Will be back to try more!

Carlton R.

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!

Lychee martini
Sita P.

Great local restaurant with an extensive menu, waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We tried the rock shrimp, sushi rolls, lamb chops, Mongolian beef, & lo mein. Everything was delicious, shareable portions. Beautiful decor, perfect for date night. We had a reservation but didn't seem necessary, was seated right away. Parking lot available.

Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup
Joseph S.

A little pricy but fabulous Asian fusion food. Elegant indoor space and great attentive service. I thoroughly enjoyed the best hot and sour soup I have ever tasted, which was vegetarian. The spicy scallop dish was tender and scrumptious. Menu is very diverse.

They can't even get Spicy Tuna with Avocado right.  Disappointing!

Best Chinese food ever. Again, pricey, but you get what you pay for. Delicious! You won't want regular Chinese food again.

Hey, just wondering what the dress code is like over there?

No dress code... casual is totally fine

What a lovely restaurant! Are there private rooms for families?

There are no private rooms for families, but I have seen them set up areas for large parties before. It is semi-private.

Do I need to make a reservation for this Saturday before Mother's Day?

Hi Wendy, Thank You for inquiring. Reservation is always suggested for all Saturdays especially the day before Mother's Day.

When we arrived, I asked if we could sit outside, and the owner had no problem with that. While we were enjoying our meal, one of my friends mentioned that the edamame needed a little more salt. Seeing the owner outside, I politely asked if we could have some salt. To my shock, he suddenly started yelling at me and told me that I was being rude. At first, I thought he was joking, so I responded, "Can you imagine how rude I am to my husband?" His response was completely inappropriate and offensive. He said that if he were my husband, he would slap me on my behind over and over again in a sensual manner and that I would enjoy every moment of it. My friends and I were absolutely stunned. When I asked him to stop and bring us the check, he then said that "you Jews always give me problems." A few minutes later, after I told the waitstaff that I intended to share my experience on GN Mommies, he came over with hot sake to apologize. He even offered to refund our meal, but I declined. I don't want anything from someone who makes hateful remarks about Jews. After living in Great Neck for 40 years, I have never experienced anything like this. As a Jewish resident, I was deeply offended by both the inappropriate sexual comments and the anti-Semitic remark. I will never set foot in this restaurant again.

Menu is very limited with the protein options though with a few choices of noodles (spicy, ramen, or soup versions). They also carry poke bowls which I have yet to try. I did enjoy my beef over rice very much. Thin slices of beef, super tender and delicious. The sauce was on the sweeter side which was drizzled onto the beef as an au jus. And it came with half an egg, pickled radishes and broccoli. Another dish I enjoyed was the fish and cabbage hot pot. That was served with a bowl of rice. No noodles. Even with the spice level at "one pepper" rating, it was too much of a kick for me. But those that like spicy will enjoy it just fine. The fish pieces it came with were generous sized portions and this bowl was loaded with vegetables. Wood ear, mushrooms, cabbage, sliced white radish, and bean curd skin. It also has a few slices of spam (which I did order extra so I'm not sure if the normal is two slices). We also tried the pan fried pork gyoza which was perfectly fried on each side. Nice color. Taiwanese pork as a side comes with one pc per order. The fried chicken appetizer could use a little more spices but the chicken was so tender and very juicy. I liked it a lot. It does come with a dipping sauce which helps but I didn't use it much. All in all a good spot for take out but the menu will need to be expanded in order to have longevity. Sadly it didn't look busy each time I came to pick up. Staff is attentive and friendly.
