You guys have great food, but why on earth do you insist on being closed when everyone is off work. Australia Day is the day most of us have off and feel like dining out, but you are closed

Been here a few times now - consistent delicious food. Shaking beef is a must have. Friendly staff as well, we'll be back!

We had take-away last night for the first time and we highly recommend it. Delicious food and courteous staff. When we can we will dine in! Salt and pepper squid, Vietnamese pancake and sticky banana pudding were the highlights.

Great food but bad staff experience
We visited when it's not very busy time. Wed 5:30pm. I am generally very generous with starts so I still give you two stars for quality of food but I am sorry to say male staff was very unexperienced and no energy to work there or it was his first time working there. Here is few points to raise.
- no real greeting when we entered.
- provided candle to all other table but ours until we asked.
- no smile on the face whatsoever
- minimum interaction when we are ordering.
- ordered pho and staff forgot beansprouts and sauce until we finished.(pho was good

My friends and I went to Moonlight Restaurant to celebrate my birthday last Sunday. The restaurant was nicely decorated and with a lovely atmosphere. We had a nice walk at the Woolwich pier area and then had lunch. The food was amazingly delicious. The restaurant staff Amy was so attentive and nice. She even decorated our table with birthday balloons and flowers. So lovely of her, thank you Amy. Will definitely go back soon.
