Yelp.com Review - by Jen H.

1.0 of 5 stars. I've only been here once. The ants crawling all over the table, chairs and floors convinced me not to come back. Gross!

4.0 of 5 stars. This was my first time at the Moonlight Cafe. I had the vegetarian Beef Sesame with brown rice. Good "meaty" texture and very flavorful. Maybe a little too sweet but still very good. Sampled my…

4.0 of 5 stars. There's not much I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. What I can say is that so far this is the only restaurant I've been to in Seattle where I could eat an entirely vegan meal…

Yelp.com Review - by Ninjalie G.

1.0 of 5 stars. When I first went here, I loved it. This is probably because I have been vegetarian most of my life and until then hadn't tried much Vietnamese food. However, after a couple more visits I began to get…

Yummy stuff for vegetarians and carnivores!

The food was great! I love the two menus, one for vegetarians and one for meat-eaters. They are virtually identical, as the vegetarian dishes are the same as the meat/seafood dishes except they are made with...
