Moon’s Steakhouse
1 Yuyuan Lu (???1?)
Shanghai, China
PRICE: ?????
RATING: 
It’s not particularly easy to get a good ‘ol steak in China. You pretty much can only find it in fine-dining restaurants.. very very few casual/cheap places have steak, and if they do, you best stay away from it 😉 And so we decided to treat ourselves at Moon’s Steakhouse.
Moon’s Steakhouse is a lovely, luxe restaurant with fantastic service (the manager was a total dream) and beautifully plush sofas to relax on. The menu’s fairly limited, but it’s not a problem because you’re on there for one thing – their steaks!
We appreciated the bread basket at the start, though it would have been great served with a soft herb butter, instead of (or accompanied with) the salsa and yoghurt dips.
we decided to start off with the Seafood Chowder soup and Minestrone soup, which was a very good idea because we had to wait ONE HOUR for our steaks to arrive. It was unbelievable, and had me quite irate. I would have expected the waitress to warn us or at least apologise, but nada. The soups came out really quickly and so left us with a long and prolonged 1 hour wait. Both soups were nice, but nothing spectacular. They, strangely, came out in small cheap-bistro-style cups… not in a large wide bowl or served with some garlic bread. Tres odd, especially since they were not cheap!
So after that 1 hour wait, our steaks finally came. They were just blissful. They’re a steakhouse and yep, they do steaks brilliantly. I had the Prosciutto Wrapped Filet Mignon topped with Bearnaise, which was beautifully charred on the outside and tender on the inside. I loved it 🙂 They are very VERY expensive though, more than what you’d even pay in Australia! We had a 1-for-1 deal, which made it worth it, but otherwise the regular price is pretty painful.
Still, a great (and very filling) dinner and so happy to have had our steak fix!

Great Steaks
I have been there, it’s a five star hotel, good environment and great Steaks( we order their special steak, dry aged beef) fantastic! I love it.
Re: Great Steaks
Yeah I thought they were good – just need to reduce the prices and make sure they don’t make diners wait 1hr to be served their mains!

Mmmm, Steaks look great! I would so want butter with my bread. Not salsa or yogurt. No no no….
I know! The dips were ok, but tiny portions and not as good as softened herb butter… mmmmm

That steak looks SOOO good! I have to post up my steak dinner soon 🙂
It was a treat to have such an awesome steak in China 🙂 Can’t wait to see yours!
I love Filet Mignon, but that seems like a small portion – where are the sides ?
It was 180g, not huge but filet mignon is usually quite small. We ordered all our sides separately!
