Miya Moon — Restaurant in Broomfield

I came to Miya Moon with a group of 10, and they were so accommodating and made our first experience there a night to remember. We called about 2 hours in advance to make a reservation, and they were able to save us a table no problem. They even called us back to make sure we made the reservation at the correct location since they have another location in Lone Tree. We really appreciated them double checking. But keep in mind this place is still fairly new, so I predict they'll only get busier with how amazing everything is at the moment. When we got to the restaurant, we were sat right away. They had us in a separate area, so it felt more intimate with our large party. If you're coming with a large group, I'd highly recommend Miya Moon whether it's for a birthday or any celebratory event. I guarantee they will take care of you. 20% tip is included in your bill for larger parties just FYI. They also have outdoor seating.

The food was absolutely delicious. While you can order your own dishes, I think you'll get the most bang for your buck if you eat family style. We were able to order appetizers, multiple entrees, and even dessert to share for about $25 a person. And we had plenty of food for multiple of us to take home leftovers. Their togo containers were definitely a highlight of our visit. The containers are microwave and dishwasher safe and custom to Miya Moon, so you can reuse them. They also gave us insulated bags for the food which was a first for me. I know I'll be keeping both of those for a long time hopefully! I'm also not a huge fan of alcoholic drinks, but their espresso martini is something I would for sure order again. It was sweet and not too bitter which was a nice surprise for someone who doesn't usually like espresso martinis. The cauliflower and eggplant were stand outs for the night. Everyone loved the mango masago as well. My only real gripe is the wagyu fried rice, while yummy, is overpriced in my opinion. But most dishes are fairly priced.

The staff were the real stars of the night. Not only were they patient with us especially when we took forever to decide our orders, but they brought out our food in a timely matter. They were so attentive, friendly, and were great at creating a rapport with everyone in the party. They truly made the experience at Miya Moon a 5 star event. But special shoutout to our head server, Kiel. She was stellar in every way possible! Every dollar spent was well worth it, and I cannot wait to come back with more friends and an even...

Food: We tried many of the tapas! Including, cucumber salad, walnut shrimp, potstickers, honey glazed short ribs, and chili wontons. My favorite was the cucumber salad, served cold and extremely refreshing. Perfect hit of acid, and the chili flakes did not make it unbearably spicy. 4.9 Stars. My second favorite were the potstickers, the casing was soft and golden brown on the bottom. The filling was packed with meat and veggies, and the sauce enhanced the overall flavor. 4.7 Stars. The honey glazed short ribs were my 3rd favorite, the meat was cooked perfectly and was very moist on the inside. The sauce was sweet and sticky, gaining flavor every time I took another bite as it marinated for a few seconds longer. 4.6 Stars. My fourth favorite was the walnut shrimp. I LOVE walnut shrimp, and this was disappointing to me. The walnut was the best part about this. Crunchy and sweet like I expect. The shrimp was not coated in batter, but the sauce was good. I did not care at all for the shrimp cracker, I believe it added nothing but presentation (which was very pretty). 3.8 Stars. My least favorite was the chili wontons, in all honesty, there was nothing crazy about them. The sauce was good, but the filling was very one sided taste-wise. 3.2 Stars. I had the sesame chicken for my entree, and it was delicious. Great coating of batter, not too thick and not too thin, and you could taste the sesame seeds. The sauce, sweet, sticky, crave-able. 4.8 Stars. I didn't like the rice, and understand, I love rice. It was dry, and tasted like plain white rice. 2.7 Stars

Service: The two servers we had were great. Very patient with us, and helpful in knowing what we should try. There was one in training, but he got everything right.

Ambience: Gave the feeling of being upscale, without being too grandiose, but more low key. I enjoyed the dark mood lighting, and accents of red everywhere. The tables were cool, marbled with gold.

Overall: Awesome!! I would come back here often, especially for a special occasion.

P.S. Thank you SO SO much for reading through this whole lengthy review if you have made it here to this point.

P.S.S. The takeout bags are so amazing and reusable! They have a cute design in them, and are great for keeping things warm. The containers are great too and have a whole for steam...

I actually tried this place first before looking at the reviews because I was meeting up with some friends that wanted to eat here. As I was reading through the reviews I'm not sure i agree with some of the one star reviews. I would say when it comes to food I'm a bit picky but not too picky and of course everyone has different taste and opinions. We had several tapas tonight and I also ordered the Mapo tofu. I'll start with the Mapo tofu, I think it tasted fine but I did notice it being pretty watery when I took it home. I agree with this part of a past review that said this dish isn't supposed to be watery but I did taste the numbing spice or the Mala flavor and not just the ground pepper. There was another review that said the eggplant was too oily, i actually liked the eggplants quite a bit. I've been to two other authentic Chinese restaurants (Star Kitchen and what used to be Emperors palace in Broomfield on 120th and Main) for the eggplant dish and I can tell you that they are just as oily or if not more oily. The Lettuce wrap was okay, asparagus was pretty good but it is more Japanese than Chinese because it has tempura batter, and the string beans were okay as well.

I would say the food is okay to pretty good depending on the dish that you order and your personal taste and preference. The price is a bit expensive overall, for example the small dish for eggplants being $10. You can get a full entree portion of this eggplant dish at the other authentic Chinese restaurants for a few dollars more. I have to say the ambience is pretty cool and the service was good. I was also here with my 7 month old daughter, I asked the manager or host if there was a changing table but they actually don't have one yet but will be getting one. I asked if the changing table will be for both restrooms and he said he ordered just for the women's restroom. Then he asked me if he should have one in the men's bathroom as well, i told him yes because what if there is a single dad or a dad coming here without his wife and needs to change diapers for their kid. Hopefully they'll take my advice to add one in the men's...
