Quick info
About Moon In Moon
On 71 Thames St in Sunbury On Thames, Moon In Moon is an Asian restaurant built around a buffet of more than 200 Thai, Chinese and Malay dishes, made to order rather than laid out in trays. The all-you-can-eat format requires a minimum of two diners, and orders can be placed in multiple rounds instead of one large plate, covering items such as mixed hors d'oeuvres, seaweed and sesame prawn. A separate takeaway menu runs alongside the dine-in list, with some variation between the two. The restaurant opens daily, and an upstairs seating area accommodates larger parties. Restrictions apply around food waste and over-ordering, given the made-to-order format. Pricing differs between weekdays and weekends.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the all-you-can-eat buffet, made fresh to order rather than sitting out, as the main draw, with several singling out the salt shrimp and one reviewer still praising the banana fritters. Priced around £24 to £25 per person, most describe hot food, generous portions, and staff who are attentive and check in throughout the meal, with one diner crediting a waiter for keeping a packed, buzzing room feeling calm. A few note it leans westernised rather than traditional Chinese. One visit turned sour when a party of five said too few dishes came out at once, leaving some eating while others waited on cold food, calling portions for the price stingy that night, though even that reviewer still liked the fritters. Another found the service on a busy Saturday over the top. Most describe leaving having wasted nothing and planning to return.

“This place has quickly become one of our new favourite spots. It’s an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant, but everything is made to order, which makes a big difference. The service is really good — the staff are very attentive and regularly check in to make sure everything is okay. The food arrives hot and fresh, and there’s a large menu with plenty of variety, so it’s nice being able to try lots of different dishes. As with most places, some dishes are better than others depending on your taste, but overall the quality is good. They are strict about food waste, so it’s best not to over-order. The good thing is you can order multiple times, which actually works better because the food stays warmer and fresher. Just keep in mind that the price changes between weekdays and weekends, and you need at least two people for the all-you-can-eat option. They also offer a takeaway menu, although it’s slightly different from the dine-in menu. It’s also worth making a reservation before you go, especially during busy times.”

“We had such a lovely experience at Moon in Moon! It was incredibly busy and packed, but our waiter Kim made everything feel calm and effortless. He was extremely attentive, listened carefully to everything we asked for, and made sure we …”

“Have been many times before but not for a while. Used to be great value and great food. Very noise we were upstairs and they put to many people there. Food not great had to wait as not enough food brought out for 5 people so some was eating while others had to wait so remaining food was getting cold. Not good value small portions, I know you can order more but that takes time they should serve enough for the party. Won’t go back, one good point banana fritters still as good”
