This little establishment really delivers. The miso-glazed salmon really is fantastic and at $8.95 it's one of the best-priced lunch options in SoHo to boot.

The woman who took our order was so rude! And the food was not good. The chicken looked like pork, and then she defended it saying that it was really dark meat. Gross!!

The steak with cilantro sauce and white rice is my favorite.

Probably the best place for lunch in southwest SoHo

This neighborhood is pretty lacking in terms of great lunch places and delis, so Mooncake is a welcome destination for simple, delicious food that is very affordable. I love the Asian-inspired menu, and the steak sandwich is my standard. If you feel like splurging, the lobster sandwich is a delight.

Even had beef shins? Me neither, until I ordered them on a lark at Mooncake. Now I order the beef shins sandwich all the time. That is when I'm not ordering the salmon plate or the steak salad. It is hard not to get into an ordering rut here because all the dishes are so good, I'm afraid I'll have regret that I'm missing out on the other dish when I order something new. This never hapens, though. I just keep adding more favorites to my list! Mooncake flavors are unexpected. There's a lot of fusion going on with the menu item; it works and it isn't forced. Even the beverages are delicious. The staff is very nice too -- even the delivery man!

From the prices you wouldn't believe you're still in NY. The food is nice and light, even the desserts. Comfy funky homey decor. I went with 9 other friends- the staff was very accomidating, sat us easily, super-nice and helpful, friendly. I Will be back!

I have been to Mooncake countless times- but it is just simply impossible to tire of the relaxed atmosphere and fresh, delicious food. The tender miso glazed salmon is out of this world, the sweet glaze perfectly complementing the buttery fish. The wonton soups are hearty, yet perfectly satisfying. The pork chop sandwich is a personal favorite, but, if you are anti-carbs, the steak salad will not disappoint! The service is knowledgeable and friendly and the owners are terrific. If you want great food at bargain prices, then Mooncake is the place to be.

If you think you cannot get a good meal for a decent price in Manhattan.... think Again. This place has a refreshing menu, with tasty tidbits galore, but yet different from your ordinary Asian flare. I personally went nuts on the appetizers and ordered 3 different ones to make a meal, but my date said her main dish was really tasty. I personally recommened trying this place, but dont take my corner table, Please.

This place is great. Looks like a diner but the food is not! The food is fresh & very tasty. Nice asian flare. Thai Steak salad & Broiled salmon sandwiches are delicious. They even catered our corporate lunch & everyone one was mad for it. I got my brownie points that day! Best thing about it is that dishes are all under $8!!!!
