People talk
“ I've eaten in and had take out from Moonga. Takeout was just okay, especially when there's so many choices for Asian food in Kaneohe. In person the service was super fast and friendly. We went on a weeknight and it wasn't crowded at all. Inside everything is new and modern as of November 2024. Chairs were a little low to the ground so if you have mobility issues just fyi. ”
“ Not sure if it's new or not but the restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. My family went for lunch and they have a nice lunch special menu. (We had to ask for it, not sure if it's a secret special.) We had Pad Thai with egg drop soup. The soup was excellent. My 3 year old stole most of it. We also had General Tso's chicken with hot n sour soup. Soup comes with any lunch special item. And there's roughly 12 choices or so. The food was great and fresh. I would definitely recommend as a lunch pitstop. It's quick too. You could be in and out in 20 minutes if it's not too busy. ”
“ Really interesting mish mash of Asian on the menu. There is literally something for everyone. Some may say this restaurant suffers from an identity crisis. But I want to say it leans more Japanese. The pad thai with tofu was very good, the sunshine roll was solid, I liked the chirashi, and the chicken tempura was good. ”
“ Stopped here after an event at the college. I found the service to be friendly and the food to consist of fresh ingredients. It has a modern ambience with a diverse menu where everything was done well, very island. ”
“ I got DoorDash-- The food was delivered quickly and super fresh tasting. I got the tempura avocado (amazing!), some sushi (very fresh) and crab rangoons (tasted like mainland Chinese-American food in a very good way). I can't wait to dine in as the food was very good! ”
“ My husband's relatives who live near Kāne'ohe neighborhood recently suggested meeting for lunch at Moonga Asian Bistro to discuss the upcoming Thanksgiving Day family dinner plans. We agreed to meet at this neighborhood Asian Fusion restaurant since we don't usually drive to the Windward side of our island. Although we were familiar with Moonga Bistro's location as the former Pah Ke's Chinese Restaurant and near our other favorite, Adela's Country Eatery, this was our first visit, and we made sure to allow ourselves at least 40 minutes of driving to avoid of any unusual traffic conditions. We arrived at the restaurant before my husband's relatives, so we entered and asked to be seated. While waiting, we perused their extensive menu, which featured traditional, contemporary, or fusion Japanese, Chinese, and Thai cuisines. Although my husband's relatives were running late and the restaurant filled with others, our server kept an eye out for when our foursome was complete and took our beverage and meal orders. The Lunch Specials Menu features three different menus to choose from: 1--Kitchen Lunch Specials, 2--Sushi Roll Lunch Specials, and 3--Sushi Lunch. My husband's relatives who have eaten at Moonga had already decided on their menu choices from the Kitchen Lunch Specials and recommended them to us. The Kitchen Lunch Special that we selected included a choice of soup, an egg roll, a choice of protein from about 24 entrees, and rice. It ranged in price from $11.95 to $13.95. We started our meals by sharing a Lettuce Wrap appetizer. The steaming hot and soy sauce-based chopped chicken-vegetable mixture paired well with the cool iceberg lettuce cups. My husband's relative's wife and I chose the Pannang Curry with Chicken ($12.95), my husband chose the Black Pepper Beef ($13.95), and his relative's choice was the Sesame Chicken ($12.95). Since my husband's relatives recommended the Egg Drop Soup, we had all started our lunch with a nice steaming hot bowl of it. The Pannang Curry was very mildly sweet and creamy that was enriched by the coconut milk. The chicken pieces were tender as were the vegetables in this curry. This Pannang Curry was tasty but not authentic Thai. I would order it again but maybe ask for a higher spice level to give it more chili-kick. The Black Pepper Beef lunch special that my husband chose was also mild and not as bold as we've tasted at other Chinese restaurants. Still, the tender beef slices and soft-crunchy stir-fried vegetables were on-point. My husband wolfed down his meal. My husband's relative ordered the Sesame Chicken entree with fried rice. I didn't try it but he enjoyed the mild-sweet and tender battered chicken pieces of this popular American-Chinese restaurant item which to me, looked similar to General Tso's chicken. He doesn't eat spicy food, so this chicken dish was perfect for his taste buds. The lunch special portions were quite generous and were of good value for their price. The flavors were all right and the service was friendly and attentive. ”
“ Save the scroll: food here is flavorful, well portioned, and well priced. Many seem to find the variety of options to be a negative, but personally, they execute their menu well, so yes, you can have sushi and thai curry, and it's all great. We got seasame tofu, kung pao veggies, and veggie tempura. All come with rice. Price is around $14 per entree. The sesame tofu was very good, and I could eat it all day. The sauce is savory and sweet and not overly breaded or fried. Kung pao veggies has less kick than you'd expect but still a lot of flavor. Tempura veggies were perfectly breaded and a good assortment of veggies. Portions were enough for me and my (pregnant) wife to split the meal and have leftovers. We will be back. In fact, we already recommended it for a work lunch and my wife recently went with her friends. ”
“ We were planning to see a movie at Windward Mall within the hour and decided it was a good chance to try Moonga, very nearby. Checked their on line menu through Yelp. Told hubs let's order just two dishes then go straight to the show. Female servers and manager. They were so accommodating I asked if they had gift cards. The server said she'd ask the manager. Not even a minute later and the manager was taking my credit card to pay for the gift card separate from our food bill. The lettuce wraps were savory and delicious. Their Moonga Seafood had a whole lobster on the top with scallops, veggies and more plus a bowl of rice hubs had all to himself. The water was refilled as needed. Every table in our row next to the windows facing Kam Hwy in Kaneohe was occupied. Everyone looked like they were enjoying what they ordered. The table next to us had 3 women. One kept talking nonstop loud enough for us to hear every word that she was saying. She asked the server several times to take their photo. As we were leaving I saw one table to the right of the restaurant taken that was lucky in their own space. Not sure why but kept hearing chopping noises but couldn't see where it was coming from as the kitchen was further away. People who live nearby are lucky they can do takeout from here. ”
