I went to MO Lounge yesterday after getting engaged. Wow what an attentive amazing team of staff!! They were so happy for me and really helped to create a magical evening with my fiancée and family.
We had a beautiful incredible view of the city several different courses with some extra surprises courtesy of the staff. The wonton noodle soup was delicious and the whole team was so knowledgeable about the menu, the chefs creative specials and creations and added surprise after surprise in honor of our engagement!
I will definitely be back and would recommend it for a comfortable, bite to eat in a beautiful setting.

Great view of Central Park!

This is the best Belgian waffle in New York City. Crispy outside light and fluffy inside. Topped with a gentle dusting of powdered sugar. Served with fresh cream and berry compote.

Exceptional experience at MO Lounge NYC. The hospitality was warm and attentive, and the views from our table were truly stunning. A perfect setting for both business and relaxation. Highly recommend.

Dined here for afternoon tea and it was nothing short of an exquisite experience. The tea was delicious, sandwiches were good, the sweets options are always a delight.
Thank you Sam, Luis, and Joselyn for making this experience so wonderful.

Awful afternoon tea service for friend's special occasion for 15-- poor service with half the people served and the rest of table waiting another 30min for food, teas being mixed up, allergies alerted ahead of time but ignored and leaving a child to have an allergic reaction, underwhelming food. Beware of celebrating your special occasion here!

I have visited the MO lounge a few times for drinks and each time gets better than the last. This weekend I brought my mom who was visiting me in nyc. The views alone are worth a stop, but it was really the exceptional food/drinks, and service that make this place over the top.
We ordered the fois gras, club sandwich, and had some incredible desserts and champagne!
Everyone was incredibly kind, from the door man to the hostess but Pierre especially made our time extra special!
Can’t wait to return and try the full afternoon tea!

Terrific service as usual, what you’d expect from MOHG. A single waiter for our table of 12 who was extremely attentive & didn’t miss a beat, kudos! The food is always delicious, the sandwiches were outstanding but the scones with rose preserve was out of this world!
For the price ($130pp), the afternoon tea probably was not worth it. All the desserts were extremely sweet and the bread on the finger sandwiches were somewhat try.
Good service and good experience overall but would not do it again.
Get there early for the first seating to get a table by the window

Our first time for Thanksgiving. The selection of food was good and the quality of the food was great. However, the service was sub par at best. We were seated for the buffet and no one came to our table for water or anything. We eventually made it to the buffet and came back and they gave away our table. Luckily another table was available. They tried to accommodate for that mistake but after that initial glimpse of service we didn't get anything until a shift change and our server came in at the end. No real drink orders, water was delayed at best, and the buffet was understaffed. Mistakes happen but then go above and beyond until that customer leaves. Very disappointing service for the price. I've had better service at Applebee's. Food was good though, definitely only redeeming factor.

We had an unforgettably beautiful evening at the MO Lounge. For this, we would like to thank the manager Jules and his team for the very excellent service and very delicious food. We can truly recommend this lounge to everyone. On our next NYC trip, we will definitely come back! Thank you very much and best regards from Germany, Frankfurt.

First of all, the space and the view are absolutely amazing. However, everything else was subpar. Our server was barely present and not engaged at all. He was so unengaged that he spoke in a barely audible voice and I had to ask him to repeat everything he said multiple times. He was also difficult to find whenever we needed him. In addition, when trying to order ice cream and sorbet for our dessert, he even lacked the communication skills to convey they choices. It became so frustrating that I simply gave up and chose not to order any dessert. Who knew that ice cream could be so complicated?
The food was average at best. My wife and I were very curious to check out the Chinese themed menu as she is originally from China and we love eating various types of Chinese cuisine from all over the country, especially Sichuan and Shaanxi cuisine. Unfortunately, the food at MO Lounge is incredibly overpriced for what it is, and in our experience, far superior food can be found in any basement food court in Flushing for a third of the price.
When it was time for the check, it was impossible to flag down our server. I even tried waving to another server to get their attention, only to be ignored. I was only able to get our check once I walked up to the hostess stand to request it. The service was so poor that I had already resolved to tip only 15% and was surprised to see an 18% automatic gratuity added to the bill. Given the poor service quality, I found this offensive, but relented and paid it anyway rather than making a fuss over 3%.
What was particularly offensive was charging these outrageous prices for food that is mediocre at best. If I'm going to pay such prices for Chinese cuisine, I expect it to be far superior to what I can make at home or find in a basement food court in Flushing. There are plenty of other places where I can dine on far superior food with just as good of a view and for less money. Next time, I'll save my money and choose someplace else.

Food was sub par. Hostess and service were aloof and lacking. Disappointing for a Mandarin property.
