Moonshine 152 is a cozy South Boston spot where Chef Asia Mei serves up creative comfort food with a fun Asian twist, from umami-rich veggie burgers to decadent chicken and waffles, all delivered with a smile in a vibrant, artsy atmosphere.
"Since you’re definitely ordering chef Asia Mei’s buttermilk-fried chicken wings, the real question is: Regular or grande sized? Luckily, both portions pack that magic combination of salty and savory with a crunch. The creamy-with-a-kick poblano ranch dipping sauce provides a cooling contrast to the fresh-from-the-fryer wings. Go all-in on the comfort food vibes by ordering up party tots that are tossed with kimchi butter, sweet chili, and truffled teriyaki sauce." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
"Moonshine 152 has a luxe burger that changes monthly, but it’s always a hit. Not into the monthly special? There’s also a grass-fed burger with sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and aioli, served with shoestring fries, and a similarly dressed vegetarian mushroom tofu burger (that can be made vegan)." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"The tropical mango pavlova at this favorite Southie spot brings on the summertime vibes. Dig into layers of merengue cookies with whipped cream, coconut jellies, mango coulis, and berry sauce that’s like a burst of sunshine. The sweet is gluten-free and available vegan, too." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams
"Known for fun comfort food twists and wonderful hospitality by chef Asia Mei." - Erika Adams
"This South Boston restaurant's award-winning buttermilk fried chicken wings are served with a poblano ranch dressing. There’s also a fried chicken and waffle dish (named for Leslie Knope, one of several nods to Parks and Recreation at Moonshine 152) with Sriracha bourbon sauce and cinnamon honey butter." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
