Moonlight Cafe — Restaurant in Seattle

The food is the only good thing here.

Get their food to go.

Service is bad. Actually terrible. Especially from either one of those tiny waitresses servers. Who dress in shiny red shirts. Their behavior is almost you can call it disrespectful. Careless.

Maybe owner is not paying them good enough , may be owner is mistreating them. Maybe they think they are too good to work here.

Maybe they have resentment towards working there,for whatever reason they have ,so they treat the customers real bad.

Dirty spacious place. Their restroom is not maintained.

Their soap dispensers are empty most of the time, and if full then the soap is diluted, and thinned out with so much water. How cheap is that.

Their workers don't wash hands with soap when they use restroom. How nasty is that. Hygiene here is at their least priorities Very high prices compared to the little portions they serve.

They will shorten, and skim your meal portion , and will claim that is their normal meal portions.

Watch out from their add on prices.

Management will rip you off if you don't pay attention to what you are going to pay. They already did multiple times

Lots of dishonesty behaviors, and actions going on here. Please watch out

Large menu selections

Convenient location.

Parking lot is crowded, sketchy characters loitering around , waiting to break in cars. Hide your valuable . Keep eyes open on your car while parked there

Not a safe...

If you are vegetarian and in or simply visiting Seattle, Moonlight has to be on your list. This is heavenly for vegetarians and not just because of the array of different vegetarian "meats", but because of the way they are incorporated into wonderfully prepared traditional dishes. Standouts for us were of course the noodle soups for which Moonlight is justly known, particularly the special pho. Being a vegetarian usually means it doesn't matter where you go for pho, because it's always the same thinly flavored broth that you desperately try to liven with basil and lime and soy and chili. At Moonlight, on the other hand, the vegetarian pho broth is rich and dense and so full of flavor that for once I didn't feel left out of the pho party my meat-eating friends were enjoying. We also dug the royal noodles (spicy though!) and the Singapore noodles. And the eggplant was beyond amazing. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. Finally, I have to call out the Chicken Katsu Banh Mi. OMG. I have attacked every lemongrass tofu Banh Mi in the city, and - with all apologies to Saigon Deli - nothing touches the Chicken Katsu Banh Mi at Moonlight. If nothing else, go for one of these pickly, creamy, robust wonders. And lest you think this place is only for vegetarians, I will note that the last time we went, we took along to confirmed carnivores who are also ID connoisseurs, and they both agreed it was...

Warning to vegan folks: the vegan menu is not fully vegan. We found out that the chow mein that has egg noodles isn’t vegan, despite the menu saying 100% vegan everywhere. The Thai iced tea needs to be requested vegan with almond milk and no half and half. I’m hoping that the jelly in the three-bean dessert isn’t made with gelatin and is actually vegan. It’s hard to trust given the other unspecified non-vegan items on the vegan menu.

If the owners can’t have a separate vegetarian vs vegan menu, I’d suggest clearly marking what’s not vegan. Otherwise, their menu stating 100% vegan on every section doesn’t make sense. You’re going to be getting a lot of patrons specifically looking for vegan foods, so mislabeling is quite dangerous.

I’d love for management to address this so I can update this review to 5 stars. I loved the place: great service from the staff, delicious food, and sizeable portions. The vegan salmon had such a unique texture with the inside being soft and the outside being crispy. The fast service was fantastic. The large, separate vegan menu was really nice.

I want this place to do well. That’s why I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1. But they need to label accurately. Once that’s done, I’m happy to bring this up to 5 stars. Also, it’d be so nice if the new owners brought back karoake, but I get why that might not mesh with their...
