    Excellent food in a hidden gem of a restaurant in Southie. Owner/chef, Asia’s, creative flair is something you would expect to find in a fine dining establishment but without the price point or fuss. Every dish was joy to sample and experience. We celebrated our anniversary here on the Fourth of July and were not disappointed. Kudos to Asia, her husband and their team for providing quality food in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. We hope to be back soon.

    We arrived a little early for our reservation, but were welcomed warmly. Our server was fantastic, in a very laid back/comfortable way. Everything we ordered was absolutely top notch - definitely our best meal of the trip. We were incredibly surprised & honored when Chef Asia stepped out of the kitchen to briefly speak with us. Our party ordered two desserts to share. Shortly after they arrived, Chef Asia returned with a complimentary butterscotch pudding. I thought I’d only have a bite, as I’d filled up on appetizers & bibimbap. But it was so yummy, I just kept eating - and the other three made sure to take some, as well! What a perfect end to a wonderful trip!! Thank you, Chef Asia and staff!

    Moonshine 152 was an incredible culinary experience. At first glance we were unsure what to order as the menu had a unique offering. We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. Each dish was a new adventure with a beautiful presentation, texture and taste. What a delightful surprise. Chef Asia Mei and her team are passionate professionals. Comfortable atmosphere surrounded by her lively and colorful art. We thank you for the best meal that we have had in years.
