Moon Thai & Japanese

Moon does not disappoint! I love to start with a jazmin tea before enjoying the rest of the dishes. Try out the donuts with strawberry sauce for dessert 🤤

I frequently get the magic moon roll Togo because it’s so delicious but was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful presentation of my order today. Now that’s what they mean when they say it’s all in the details 🩷 thank you whoever made it.

Our server was so sweet and just the very best. The food was so good - I especially loved the way the chicken satay was cooked. I highly recommend this. Also the atmosphere is really nice.

Love the decor! Very chill vibe and atmospheric lighting. Service is quick, efficient, and friendly. (Thank you Luis!) Menu has many options for many palates and all of the dishes ordered were delicious! Separate menus for Thai and Japanese food for easy navigation of dishes. Plating is carefully prepared and nice to look at. Thai dishes are authentic, and sashimi is fresh! Wide selection of drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) Good spice range for food; able to suit many people's tolerances.

Awesome place. We went right after Thanksgiving, ordered both Thai food and Japanese food and they were all amazing! Highly recommend the Osaka rolls and Pad Thai. The service is excellent, our waitress is very attentive and helpful. Unfortunately I focused on eating too much and didn’t take many photos lol.

Beautiful location, upscale Service, knowledgeable and friendly and food so big and delicious 100 out of 10 .. highly recommended.

Excellent service!!! The wait staff is very nice. The lunch menu is pretty good with a fair price. It comes with soup and salad. The restaurant has 2 types of food, Japanese and Thai. Lunch menu is served until 4:30 pm. I will return for sure.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! I love Thai food but this was my first time here, AND I LOVE IT!!! So so in love, the atmosphere it’s perfect and the place is also super nice and interesting…. Also the service ✨✨✨ was on point, she was very attentive and super nice with us, thank you so much for your work💗I will come back a thousand of times.

I enjoyed the food here when I came. I understand prices have gone up here, but honestly they have gone up everywhere as this is coral gables and rent and good prices have become atrocious. The good news is that the portions here are really great! My husband and I were plenty full on the pad thai and pad see ew which were both so good! My favorite thing about the pad see ew was the amount of veggies inside which were really gave so many textures to this noodle dish. My friend ordered the nigiri which he said was really outstanding, and surprisingly was only $10 per piece (had caviar and gold flakes on top, which really gave it a touch of elegance). I was pleasantly surprised at this price Overall really good, casual place for thai food in the gables

Came to check out this spot which was highly requested. This place did not disappoint. The ambiance was dimly lit with an upbeat vibe. The staff were courteous, accommodating and knowledgeable. The drumstick for an appetizer was 10 out of 10 amazing. No breading on the fry chicken, it was light airy coat and cooked to perfection. Definitely a must try. The food was fresh and came out fairly quickly. The rolls were fresh and tasty. Everything came out warm and tasted well. Glad i stopped by to try. Can't wait to come again

Excellent Thai and Japanese restaurant in Coral Gables. This restaurant is located right across the University of Miami and nearby the metro station so it is very accessible. The ambience is moderately lit, perfect for a date night. Service was quick and waiters were friendly. I got the pad see eiew from here and the noodles and seasoning was good. I would come here again and try other things on the menu!

This restaurant has been around forever and is actually one of my earlier experiences with Thai food. It also holds a lot of sentimental value for us from college. When moving back recently I wondered how it would hold up. Thankfully, the answer is it holds up well! Food is delicious, service is good (and can even make useful recommendations), and the ambiance makes it nice enough for a date night. My one complaint is no matter how spicy I ask for, it never comes out that spicy! Thankfully the food is good enough without it!

Always excellent service and food! Family friendly atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had great conversation with the chefs.

4 star food, 4 star service, 4 star ambience...hey that averages to 4 stars! Good Thai/Japanese with decent service and some parking difficulties. 4 star food: Chicken Pad Thai is always my test when trying a new Thai place. While this was good, it wasn't great...the chicken was a little dry and the peanut sauce a little too sweet. Everything was presented beautifully. 4 sar service: Service was competent but slightly slow. There wasn't much warmth to the interactions. 4 star ambience: Inside it's nicely lighted and comfortable. Outside the parking situation is problematic.

I came here months ago and i was not impressed at all. The flavors tasted off, idk if it was the sauce or the actual ingredients that weren't fresh. I went with 2 other people and they also felt like what they ordered didn't taste that great. There's really nothing that stood out about this place. If you want sushi, i think you can find better options elsewhere. I will say the servers here were very nice but yea, I don't foresee myself trying this place again.

First time here they have a location in weston for some reason this food tasted way better. I will come back to this location. The ambiance was pleasant and clean has an option to sit outside if you prefer. The staff was friendly and they had great customer service. The pricing of the food was okay not sure if they have happy hour. The chicken wings were nice and crisp with good flavor. The fried rice was delicious. I liked the beef and broccoli but they could have given more beef. For the amount it cost I would think more than 4 pieces of beef should be in a plate. My highlight is the green tea I had the hot green tea and the cold green tea. I love tea and this was made perfectly

This is a go to Thai restaurant for me that's local and nearby located in Coral Gables across from the university of Miami. There are a few parking spots outside which makes things more convenient. Inside the restaurant, the waiting area is small but it is well decorated and the tables are big. The staff is friendly however can be slow. They take awhile to check in on us and get our checks. The food is my favorite. I love their fried rice which I usually get every time and is very well portioned and flavorful. Overall, recommend to any local who are looking for Thai food or sushi.

This is our second time trying this place. The first time wasn't awful enough that we felt it deserved a second chance. Both times I've ordered the pad Thai chicken. I thought the chicken was on the dry side the first time but this time it was absolute powder dry. Last time we thought we accidentally ordered the basil fried rice with chicken when we wanted pork. Turns out they just use a really lean cut of pork which they also cook until it's powder dry. Sucks because the flavors are there on the dishes but the proteins just kill it. The satay and coconut shrimp were both decent too.

We tried the rainbow roll, dancing eel roll, and drunken noodles. We sat inside but they did have some outside seating. Inside ambiance was better than anticipated. Service was fine and friendly. The rolls were a four out of five and bigger than anticipated. I would give the chicken drunken noodles a 3.5 out of five. I got medium but I probably should have gotten spicy. The char taste on the noodles and chicken wasn't quite there but good overall. Price was good value for area.

The sauce was burnt, the flat noodles were clumped together in big cubes, and there was no spice or flavor other than the burnt taste. I don't know what's happened to this place, the food used to be good, but now I can't even finish it. Not even sriracha can save this.

Really good. We just ate the Thai. Mee Krob is the best, very crispy and plenty chicken. Spring rolls large one order plenty for 2. Service by our Chinese waitress was super. Parking is adequate once you find you park on either side in Starbucks, bookstore lot and even end of block at related cafe. It's decorated fine for what it is. Better than more expensive places. Will go back for casual Thai/ Nippon meal. $100 for dinner and sake for 2 with plenty take home in boxes. /--------

Went here and had a woman publicly berate my friend for not giving her a good enough tip. The server yelled at the entire table and told us not to come back. Had another friend go and their server fraudulently added an additional 8 dollar tip to their bill.

Whole fried snapper w chili sauce is something I have enjoyed at Thai restaurants for 25 years. That "thing" was nothing like any snapper I have ever had in front of me. The flesh was hard to pull off like rubber and I refused to eat or pay $35 bucks for whatever that thing was. The other food was great but this atrocity should have never left the kitchen. It Looked disgusting.

This is one of my favorite places They have the best peanut sauce I sit outside whenever I can

Love coming here! One of my husbands favorite place to come eat pad tai. I will usually order sushi and the kids will eat some of what we get. The service is always amazing too!

It's pains me to leave this review as I have been dinning here for many years and have introduced many family and friends to this once lil gem. Visited about three weeks ago and food was just ok, had it been my first time - I wouldn't have given it a second shot. But it wasn't my first time and we're all entitled to an off day. But this last weekend, I revisited and this time took a friend (her first time). I ordered the Pad Thai as per usual. While I was eating I pulled a hair out of my mouth w/food attached to it - yup - gross!!!! I was so grossed out - didn't say much nor did I complain. Instead I finished my drink and took the left overs. I played it cool, and didn't complain as I was there with a guest (who didn't want to go in the first place hence the low star Yelp reviews :/ So, next day left over Pad Thai is always a good idea but NOT this day!!! I took first spoon full and here we go ANOTHER HAIR!!! I wanted to puke!!! And as I start to examine the food another hair!!!! But this time I looked closely and was NOT my hair! I called and spoke to management. I told her I'm a long time costumer and added them last time was also no good (noodles all bundles up) and all she did was tell me they all wear hair nets and excuses - so I'm here leaving this review bc yes, management should have handled this with more differently. I can no longer recommend this spot.

Great service , nice selection of lunch specials & delicious food. We have always had delicious meals at Moon & todays lunch didn't disappoint. Fresh sushi, delicious salad & the miso soup was delicious. The reasonable lunch specials are enticing.

Came here Saturday evening and was greeted by friendly staff who remembered my friend and sat us right away. The restaurant wasn't packed and they were seating every group socially distanced enough from one another. I ordered the tempura shrimp appetizer, spring rolls (veggie) and the Four Seasons Roll. Hard to mess up the tempura app, however, the spring rolls weren't the best. My roll was super delicious and apparently very popular because the people next to us ordered one also. One of my friends enjoyed the rib-eye and my other friend had the pad Thai which he also liked. The server was awesome. Super attentive and very patient with us. He was on top of us without being too much and wasn't hard to get his attention when needed. I def recommend coming here for the food and the service.

Absolutely LOVE Moon Thai and Japanese! I love the grand selection of food on menu but I'm not going to lie, sometimes I get overwhelmed with the abundance of options because let's face it, it doesn't matter what you get, it's going to be delicious. Not pictured was a vegetarian Massaman curry which looked absolutely delicious and hearty, goes perfectly with the side of jasmine rice. The food delivered great from Postmates (thankfully!) Sushi was great however it was kind of pricey for the type of roll and pieces received I feel. The pad Thai is A LOT! You can easily feed two people from it. The fried crab wonton you can tell were fresh as the filling was still very warm and gooey. And I got great feedback from the curry and the chicken with asparagus from my coworkers so that's a plus! I'm open to recommendations fellow Yelp peeps! Send me some via message. What else should I try next time??

The server was extremely rude, after paying the bill she wasn't happy with the amount posted for her tip and came back to the table demanding more money publicly. She said that she had bills to pay and that the establishment charges her for a credit card processing fee that comes out of her wages. We will never go to this place again, so uncomfortable the whole situation. Rude woman, she should not be in any sort of costumer service position.

I hadn't been here in years but it was as good as I remembered! For a Wednesday night it was pretty busy but our server was very attentive and everything came out quickly. Tom Kha is my go to for any Thai restaurant and I will say, this one wasn't my favorite but I loved how much they serve in a cute little pot/bowl. The pan fried gyozas were delicious... crispy on the edges and just right in the middle. The rolls were huge and tasted very fresh. Glad to see they've remained consistent with good service and great food!

Excellent food choices between Thai and Japanese cuisines Love the atmosphere and great service The perfect place for a night out with friends

Moon used to be my place on Friday nights during my college years. Here you will find two massive menus one for Thai and the other for Japanese/sushi. This past Monday night we were finishing our summer vacation and decided to pass by for dinner. We started with their famous drum wings, springs rolls, and spicy tuna on crispy rice. The drum wings are chickens with the meat pulled to end of the bone and flashed fried, was delicious and the sweet tangy sauce goes well with it. The spring rolls were very crisp and was stuffed with veggies, while the tuna was super fresh with creamy avocado and fish eggs on top. The tuna was placed on a fried rice ball and it gave it a great texture. For the main entrees we ordered the volcano shrimp with the basil fried rice, both dishes were very flavorful however for the price I wished they added a couple more shrimps. Then came time for dessert which they have a variety of different sweets but we decided to order the sticky rice with Mango ice cream and the Thai donuts. The donuts were a little hard, but the warm sticky rice with the cold creamy mango ice cream was exceptional! This great meal reminded us of the good old days!!

This has been our goto place 1-2 a month for many years. Tonight, we order pick-up and I specifically asked for extra wasabi and chopsticks as last time we did pickup, there was one set of chopsticks and a needle head of wasabi. Person on phone tells me not to worry. Pickup the order and realize at home that we were provided 1 set of chopsticks and a nail head of wasabi for 3 different rolls along with other items from thai menu. Tipped generously for pickup. Call to complain, same person that took my order answers and (rightfully so, a smart ass, but correct) tells me why do you continue ordering from here. Would not put me to the manager but I will take his advice, no longer will we order from Moon Thai.

My favorite Thais restaurant. Their Panang Curry is so delicious I slurp it like soup. OMG. Their NanSa. Salad is also very good. I love, love this place. The one by University of Miami.

This restaurant is absolutely delicious. It has amazing service and food. My son who if very picky loves the sushi and pad thai. My daughter is in love with their sushi. The curry is also very nice. I would like to point out one employee who was our waiter and so very kind and humorous. His name is Lui. He was very funny and made sure that we were comfortable and that we liked the food. Overall this place deserves a 5 star!

Great clean and delicious food. You be had just about every roll in this place. By far my favorite is the American dream roll. The Thai food is very fresh and tasty as well. Zero complaints here. Not an over glam spot, but quiet place to enjoy great sushi, this place in the neighborhood is it! I recommend it to all sushi and Thai fans! Food is highly delicious and service is very tasty!

We had a really nice meal here. Something for everyone. There was sushi for the fish eaters and Thai for those that don't like fish. The sushi was super fresh and the ginger dressing tasted house made. Our server was very good and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

The glass served with San Pellegrino was sticky/dirty. Surely be waitress could feel it when she handled it. The fatty tuna sushi had gristle, not prepared properly and the soy sauce pitcher was also sticky to the touch. I was assured that they wash them every night. The rest of the sushi was pretty good- nothing outstanding. Perhaps it should be done more often. I will not be back.

I can't believe this is my first time eating at Moon - I've passed by it countless times, as it is right on US-1. I stopped by for a quick bite with a friend before heading out for the night. We weren't super hungry but we needed to eat. She ordered the Tom Yum Kai Soup (Thai menu) which looked really well made, I didn't try since I'm not a fan of coconut based soups, instead I opted for the miso soup ( Japanese menu) which was as good as every other miso soup I've tried -- and we shared steamed goyza ( pork dumplings) and Shrimp Shumai from the Japanese menu. We also split a pot of hot green tea which came in a very cute ceramic kettle. When the dumplings came out they were really cold, we let our server know and she asked us to remove the sauce ( I guess so they could nuke it in the microwave...) I really would have preferred we got a fresh batch, but I guess not. The shrimp Shumai were alright, the dumpling itself was very thick and almost sticky - I've had much better at different sushi spots. Our order did come out very quickly though, which I would usually count as a plus, but in this case with our cold dumpling incident, I wonder if they just keep popular items hanging around near the microwave. Also one note, the parking situation is pretty inconvenient. It's a tiny shared lot with Starbucks, and 3 other local businesses. We had to wait maybe 15 min to park. Overall, nothing terrible and nothing great from Moon. Maybe skip it... unless you get a crazy craving for sushi/ Thai food while in traffic on US1

After living so many years in South Miami, I can say I will NEVER return there for take out or anything else!!! When I first walked I saw two front desk or front of the house employees, they were BEYOND rude and just seemed like I was bothering them, to simply put in my takeout order, mind you it was just a spicy tuna roll! WOW! The man with glasses and curly hair finally obliged to take my order and quickly proceeded to tell me it would take 25 minutes. Oh okay, while the restaurant only had 4 other patrons at the time. After waiting 15 minutes, my order was ready. The $13.00 spicy tuna roll comes with 8 pieces, usually you get more pieces at other Japanese restaurants. Once, I had one piece I could tell the tuna was old by the smell, and was gross tasting! I could not take that chance and get sick from this horrible place. Stay away, look elsewhere for Sushi. Wish there was zero stars on Yelp!

Fast service, nice atmosphere, good food! Definitely a must try if you're in the area

Ahhhh I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! This is pretty much our no-brainer, go-to sushi/Thai spot in the neighborhood. I've been frequenting it since my time as a UM student and have had a great experience every time. I've taken so many people here (even my picky Cuban parents!) and everyone has felt the same way for my beloved spot. The menus are vast, so surely you'll find something that interests you. Our personal favorites are the following: Magic Moon Roll for the yum sushi, a nice spicy Tom yum soup to clear up sinuses ;), and the Mee Krob as a sweet, not-what-you're-used-to appetizer. The whole menu is honestly all good though. And the chefs are very accommodating. Everyone, just go here. It's fantastic. Service is great. Location is clean. Food is delish.

I've been here three times for lunch. I've had the Pad Thai an duck lunch specials. I couldn't believe how good is the price since it came with soup and salad. We shared the chocolate lava cake, which was also good. The service was also very good! The only big issue is parking. I left twice before going because I couldn't get a spot after about 10 minutes waiting. They share 10 spots with a Starbucks that has no drive thru.

Wtf is this? What the %#€* is this?!!!! This is a $25 dragon roll?! You have no idea how upset I am right now. It's taking everything in me to not show up there and demand my money back. How is this even a roll and how can your sushi chef prepare this ?!!! A fried shrimp cut into pieces and you call this a dragon roll?!!!!!!

Moon Thai has a nice varied lunch menu, making it a great lunch spot. You can select dishes from their thai or japanese options. I opted for their curry dish, which brings soup and salad w the order. The massaman shrimp curry has a lot of indian flavors, and w the right amount of spice! I just loved it! The waiter was friendly, efficient, and working in a fast and accurate pace. Parking can be an issue, since they have a small parking lot which is shared with Starbucks. Both are very busy places, so be patient. I didnt have their prawns pad thai dish, but the little bit i did have was fabulous! Would like to return for more of their curry! Yum. :)

Excellent food.. loved the coconut-based soup, loved the sushi combo with the tempura rolls, and loved the green tea. Amaya's service was the best in the world.. couldn't ask for more of a world class experience outside of a Michelin 3 star restaurant!! A++++

I have passed this restaurant so many times and never stopped. On a recent visit to the Lowe Art Museum, my friend and I walked across US 1 for a light lunch. I can see why people return regularly. The ambiance is quite nice, both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Our waiting was great, knowledgeable about the menu, and made good recommendations . My friend know Thai food better than I. She had a small salad and the Tom Kha, vegetarian, soup. I chose the spring break duck from the lunch menu. It's a quarter duck (the waiter said deep fried, I thought roasted - whatever, it was perfect) served with steamed vegetables, miso soup, salad, and rice. Highly recommend

Service was chaotic. We were a group of 15 people. Our server took orders from 12 of the 15, served them, then took our order for the rest of the 3, then received their order. I thought, it just must be busy - I get it. While the 3 are waiting to order, a bald white guy comes by wanting our menus because apparently they were short on menus that night. I state we haven't ordered yet with a flustered tone because of the chaotic service. This bald white guy then sasses me back. I was shocked! This guy sasses me back right in front of everyone. I just got up and went outside. I finally came back in after a few minutes. I ordered a Thai dish and sushi. Let me say that their sushi was very decent and acceptable. Now for the Thai dishes, it had a burnt taste to it. There was no flavor and it was bland. Who the heck puts a tomato sauce into their Thai dishes? Half of our table returned their food (all Thai). The shining moment? The pork belly was very good. I would have been happy with the pork belly and rice. I strongly recommend staying away from this place.

This place has gotten so expensive and small with their portions. It's actually insane. 30$ for curry on DoorDash.

Sadly I think this will be the last time I will go to moon, the prices have become ridiculous, and the portions have gotten smaller and smaller. The place used to be amazing I would go there once a week lately kane once a month but after this last time I regret going. Just as a example I order always a shrimp dumpling appetizer, it used to be $10 and it came 6 pieces, now it's only four pieces and it's $15. Now as if that wasn't ridiculous enough, they always put shrimp inside the dumpling also one shrimp on top of each, so the first change was from 6 to 4 but still with the shrimp on top and inside, and this time it didn't have shrimp in the top anymore. When I told the waiter this place is getting worse everytime he said "the shrimp is inside" avoid going here unless you want to waste your money. For dinner I got a fried rice which smelt burnt, also a noodle with beef, funny thing was there was maybe only 3 pieces of beef in the meal. Total waste

I used to be a regular here. Probably have gotten takeout between 50-70 times since living in coral gables. However like other reviews have mentioned, the prices have gotten absurd and the portions have shrunken. Really disappointing given what it used to be.

My boyfriend mentioned this place to me awhile back as we just moved back to Miami. He's been coming here since he was in college over 10 years ago. To say the least... Food was superb! Me and my boyfriend started off with the pan fried gyoza I got the spicy shrimp roll And for the entree we split the huge portion of drunken noodle with chicken! (spicy level 3) service was excellent our server Louis was quick & attentive to our needs. HIGHLY recommend this place if your looking for a lowkey dank thai food joint! We will most certainly be back!!! 5 stars all day

The food and service here are outstanding, the prices are very reasonable too. The décor is elegant and comfortable at the same time. Jazz music playing in the background, good place for date night. My favorite is the Tom Yum soup, it's comfort food for me. Also they have really good lunch specials (on the weekends too).

I ordered take out from this restaurant regularly. They left something out of my order. I didn't call right away to tell them. Honest mistake, I figured I wouldn't just tell them and they add it to my next order. I just called and they said there was nothing they could do. I asked for a tofu red curry which is cheap not like a sushi platter. They didn't even offer to speak to a manager. It's so sad a restaurant can't take care of a loyal customer for their mistake

Always great service and great food. It's one of our go to spots when we want quick, delicious sushi.

I love coming here, went last weekend no reservation and was quickly seated. Our waitress was so so nice she made our dining experience a 10/10 for sure! I'm a fan of the chicken katsu here, def recommend it!

Service is horrible. Waiting for takeout that was supposed to be ready in 30 min. Currently at an hour since order was placed. This is ridiculous. Never coming back. Correction took 1 hour 15 min to get food. Here's the kicker. Arrived after 30 min since we placed the phone order. Was told it would be 5 min. After another 20 min was told... well when you placed the order we got slammed... reading between the lines, we got pushed back for DoorDash/Uber eats deliveries. Food is marginal. Management is completely lost. No sincere apologies just excuses. I'm surprised they are still in business. Save your time, order from elsewhere.
