Just about to enter the Holland Tunnel, enroute to New Jersey and a vist to Stacey's Aunt Margie, I remembered that I was hungry and that we were right near a restaurant that I'd read about recently: Mooncake Foods. An odd name and an odd location -- 28 Watts Street, a little street just east of the heart of pretentious and expensive Soho and just west of the entrance to the tunnel. Mooncake is a pan-asian diner, run by diasporal Chinese from Vietnam. It has a wonderfully eclectic menu, prices are un-Soho low and the food, delicious.
Just a hole-in-the-wall and decorated in cutesey luncheonette style, Mooncake is sure to please with selections such as grilled squid in a curry-lime sauce, a grilled porkchop sandwich with mango chutney and a delicately flavored wonton soup filled with greens and your choice of either Shanghai, Crawfish and Shitake or Snow Pea Greens and Roasted Garlic wontons. Yum. Beer and wine are served and they're open for lunch and dinner. Try it.
Mooncake Foods for inexpensive and delicious Asian dishes.
This is the place - 28 Watts Street.
