Mooncake Foods is the epitome of one of the things New York does best: Amazing, mouth-watering food at affordable prices. I’ve had dreams about this meal ever since coming back to Denver. Dear lord.
We started out with the steamed peashoot and garlic dumplings. These delicate little pillows of green goodness in a wonton wrapper were perfectly paired by a tangy dipping sauce.
For the main course I ordered the miso-glazed salmon, which arrived with a fresh green salad with carrot ginger dressing.
"The crawfish dumplings are delicious layered with great flavors of sweet, lump crawfish tail meat, earthy shiitake mushrooms, watery crisp water chestnuts, and floral celery. Thet are plump, toothsome, and still not too heavy, the dumpling dough thin yet firmly wrapped around the crawfish mixture to hold the whole morsel together throughout each bite, even when dipped into a nicely spiced and acidic yet well balanced teriyaki-style sauce brightened with chopped scallions.
I had spring rolls which were outstanding, fresh and a great tasty sauce. Then I had the miso glazed salmon equally tasty, very nice food. The outside of the place is a little shabby but don't let Appearances fool you, step in its good food !!
