Visited this restaurant before COVID Restrictions. It's a small and dark restaurant. Was absolutely amazed by all the dishes we ordered. The cocktails were especially yummy. Pricing was great. Will definitely come back again!
The dessert here is really pretty but doesn’t taste as good as it looks! However we really enjoyed the rest. The oysters with the grapes and sea grapes was so delicious and unique that we ordered more to finish our meal with! Also another dish that we didn’t expect to be soo good was the little chicken tartlets with the quail egg on top!
We also got their beef ribs that were recommended to us but unfortunately got a bad cut which was overly fatty and oily.
Overall would recommend this restaurant!
This place is great to come if you would like to try a variety of delicious dishes. My favourite dish was the duck curry. It was extremely rich and creamy, filled with flavour. All the dishes are aesthetically presented.
We came as a group to sample the set menu at $80pp. Featured about 7 courses? There was scallops, oyster, smoked chicken quail egg, pork hoc, beef ribs, a duck penang curry and dessert which included a thai panna cotta and apple sorbet granita. The cuisine is a fusion of modern thai and is located down a side street in Darlinghurst. We came on a Friday night with a booking but it wasn’t too busy. Of all the dishes served that night, the standouts by far were the beef ribs with tamarind sauce and the little smoked quail eggs. We also ordered the wagyu tataki which was nice and a couple of cocktails as extras. I thought the set menu had a great mix of dishes at a good price point but there weren’t any massive standouts to me. Service was also really friendly.
First of all, service here was EXCEPTIONAL!!
We ordered:
- Oysters $5.5 each. I really enjoyed their oysters and thought the compressed grapes was a very unique touch.
- Bone marrow $15. Amazing!
- Beef ribs (signature) $42. 72 hour braised. The meat was soo soft you didn't even really need a knife to cut this.
- Duck (signature) $36. This was probably my least favourite dish out of everything we ordered. Also if you can't handle spicy I would not recommend this dish.
- Papaya salad $12.
- Fly Me To The Moon dessert $22.
- Thai Panna Cotta $14. Dessert was very theatrical/visually appealing and yummy! Everything on the dessert menu sounded amazing actually I wish I had enough room in my stomach to try them all
Drinks were also all so good!
Overall I really enjoyed the Thai fusion this restaurant had to offer. Would recommend this place.
The food at moon was exceptional - I loved everything except the sea urchin. Just not a fan of it personally. Try the set menu you definitely won’t regret it.
Amazing food and excellent service. Had their signature beef ribs and they worth the price. Portions are large. Enjoyed our meal a lot. Extra star for their service. Jackie was awesome!
Restaurant Moon is not your ordinary Thai restaurant. It’s creative, refined and has a touch of fusion. Every dish we had we thoroughly enjoyed. If I had to pick a highlight I would pick the dessert ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ (pictured). A modern and visually stunning dessert that looks like something from outer space and definitely tastes heavenly. I loved all of the elements: the crunch of the activated chocolate, the lushness of the marshmallow and apple compote and the tang of the yuzu. Additionally, the
service at Restaurant Moon is attentive and friendly. You are definitely made to feel welcome. It’s an elegant restaurant that seems more like a chic bar than a restaurant and I am looking forward to returning. #restaurantmoon
I look at this restaurant on Instagram. The pic of the food looks good. I went to try with my friend and the taste is awesome. The fish and the beef is so good. The service was good. The beef also they cooked it so well worth to try !
Wanna know how good are they?
From entree to dessert, from drink to food, not even one thing let us down.
The slow cooked beef ribs is a must try, come back three times to get this baby and that’s the only thing I want after being overseas for 6 months.
If I must say something negative, I would see the desserts are bit too sweet for me, even I always get sweet tooth.
PS. Good vibe and superb service!
Much better than some so-called ‘fine dine’ restaurant
An amazing food experience that is well worth the money. The restaurant is small and intimate and decor is top quality. Service was amazing and staff friendly. The food was a visual and taste sensation and the additions never felt forced and we're well worth the extra money. Absolutely suggest you do the degustation menu and savour the wonderful cocktail menu. My wife is a massive foodie and she raves now about this place
We had an amazing dining experience.
The food were crafted elegantly with all sorts of details. Almost all of the dishes in the Degustation were unique and beautiful.
The cocktails were even better giving great aesthetic pleasure with enjoyable flavors.
The staff were very nice, attentive and on point.
Would definitely recommend to dine in, especially if you’re looking for a 2-hour relaxing, appetizing and visually appealing experience.
Came here a couple weeks ago (I've noticed the menu has already changed!) and it was a decent experience. The food was presented very well, very theatric. The pork belly curry was slightly too salty for me but everything else was quite nice. Cocktails were great!
Service was fast and attentive but could probably do with a bit more practise because the number of times we heard plates and cutlery drop was a little comical.
It's a great place to go for a date night.

If you're after a creative food experience, definitely give this place a try!
The food is super tasty and nearly every dish bringing an element of fun to it! It is also a refreshing change to have Thai flavours in degustation / fine dining.
The atmosphere inside is a little more relaxed than other restaurants, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, providing you're aware of this before you come.
One star lost because they really rush you through the experience. I understand table sessions, however despite our booking indicating a 2 hour session, at 1.5 hours they literally asked us to leave (even though we wanted to spend even more money and try some of their cocktails). After some protest indicating our booking said 2 hours they eventually let us have our cocktail, however wasn't a great end to an otherwise wonderful night...
Also, the matched wines don't get much respect at all, with no explanation about why the wine is matched or any information about the wine at all. In fact we were lucky to get the name of the wine when it was brought out to us.
This is a difficult review to write.
Did I enjoy the food…yes. Did I love the food… No
What I loved was the experience.. that was 5 star

CONS
To noisy
We went to the 7:30 seating and we didn’t get the main until 9pm, I was so hungry by that time I had a headache.
It’s a restaurant you should try for the experience, would I go back again…. No
This was a spontaneous booking and my gf and I had the best time !! We’ll be back with our partners for sure, we’re so keen to try more on their menu. Such a fun experience and tried foods we wouldn’t normally order and were very impressed by the flavourful dishes (8 courses) delicious !!!
A lovely experience!!! The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. The food here is out of this world and you can tell that the food has been prepared with care! You will be leaving satisfied and with a full belly! Highly recommend.
Such a lovely atmosphere here at Restaurant Moon! Each dish came as a surprise in the way it was presented. The food was absolutely delicious - this is not your regular Thai restaurant. On top of that, staff members were nothing short of amazing!
