Favorites like pho rice noodles with tiger prawns or a rich duck curry highlight the depth of flavor without being overwhelming.

This place deserves more hype!! The owners are very lovely people, and the food came out quick and absolutely delicious. We ordered the pho rice noodle with tiger prawn, and the duck curry. Flavourful but not overpowering. Both were sublime and there wasn’t even a grain of rice or piece of fried onion left on our plates. The prices were very reasonable for what you get, and we left with full bellies. Wish we stayed longer in Budapest so we could enjoy some more dishes from Moon!!
