Moonga Asian Bistro

Tried the new "Moonga Asian Bistro" in Kaneohe. This is in the location of the former old "Pah Ke's Restaurant" and before that the former very old "Golden Crown Chop Suey" near the Post Office. They have Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and other Asian food on their menu. I tried the Mongolian Beef (very tender meat) with Fried Rice. Was very good.The atmosphere inside was great and more modern looking. Comfortable seating. The staff were courteous. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity you get in a sit down restaurant.

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.

So, this place is really good for sushi. They have some unique and delicious creations. The noodles and fried rice, not so exciting. We didn't order any of the main dishes, but I'd say stick to sushi when you come here. Plenty of seating, the parking lot is acceptable, but often times full.

First time visit the host did not seem "in the mood" seemed a bit grouchy, we got sat pretty quickly as it wasn't busy at the time. Our server however was amazing, I asked questions being my first time and he was so awesome helping us pick a few meals. We started with Misco soup and salad, the salad dressing they use is omgggg really good. We also got some sushi to start, then our main meals. The entrees to me could be split between two people, good portions. I was able to share my meal with my mom. Price point is perfect for the food quality.

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.

First time trying, it was good. Had a variety of entrees, a lot of different foods. Great parking and relaxing ambiance. Next time I want to try the sushi

We had an amazing experience here! The best part was the service. It was so fast and efficient and everyone was very attentive and so, so polite. The ambiance in the restaurant is also on-point; it genuinely feels luxurious inside! The seating options are comfortable, lighting and bar are beautiful, and the colors of the restaurant just make it feel classy. The food was of course delicious. We ordered a sushi roll, the sesame chicken and gyoza and were so happy with all of it. The portions are also family style and very large. The pricing was also beyond reasonable. We will be back!

Food,service ambiance all consistent and top notch. Their extensive menu gives you a wide variety of choices

The service was outstanding and the food was delicious they have a great lunch special menu and the regular menu is also amazing Chinese Thai and Japanese and the decor is beautiful highly recommended

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.
