We had Halloween dinner here - our first time visiting - and WOW! What a gem! Service was great - everyone was super friendly and attentive (and in costume) throughout our visit.The food. Lord. Talk about FANTASTIC! It’s obviously Westernized, of course, but it’s immediately become our favorite “Chinese food” place. Done and done!My girlfriend and I LOVE the deep-fried spring roll wrapping with plum sauce for dipping that’s served as soon as you sit down - it’s the Chinese restaurant answer to chips and salsa at Mexican spots! BRAVO! Delicious and deep-fried goodness!We shared Chicken Pot Stickers, which were beautifully moist and well-seasoned (dipped them in the plum sauce as well); Honey Glazed Chicken with Orange Zest, which was brilliant - sweet, savory, and ugh - SO good; and Fried Rice with shrimp, which was also great - the shrimp were plump, fresh, nicely cooked and plentiful! For some reason, I can’t post the photo of the Honey Glazed Chicken - weird.We washed it all down with hot oolong tea, and finished it off with the fancy fortune cookies they bring with the check!There was too much food for the two of us; we could have done without the pot stickers - but we just wanted to try everything, so we over-ordered. And we just barely scratched the surface here - so much more we need to come back and try!The ambience is modern, and clean. There is a bar attached to the restaurant, which is interesting and cool. Parking might be challenging as the surface lots attached to the property are super small with only a few spaces. Street parking looks to be somewhat challenging, too. That said, we rolled in at 5pm on a busy Halloween afternoon and had no problem parking in the lot just outside the front doors of the restaurant.This isn’t a cheap meal, by any means. You can get “Chinese food” elsewhere for much less. However, the quality of the experience - staff, those incredible deep-fried dipping wraps/skins, and the perfection of the food are all worth it. We cannot wait to return, as this was deemed our “go-to” Chinese place now!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve eaten at a proper sit-down Westernized Chinese restaurant. It has that certain look and feel that makes me all nostalgic. But putting aside the ambience, all the food here is LEGIT!! All the dishes have that homey, comforting taste, plus the wontons that come out at the beginning are so light and crispy, I could just eat that all day.

Great food and amazing service. Came here with some friends a couple days ago. Beef, chicken and shrimp were some of my favorite items. Good when paired with the chili sauce and brown rice. We had really good servers that were quite attentive and always on top of refills, which was nice. Indoor dining was nice and clean. There was an indoor private event going on and was not too noisy to disturb the other patrons dining, which was very considerate.

I finally tried this local spot and had high hopes, but was disappointed. While the portions were large, I found the food to be mediocre, the service slow and inattentive, and the atmosphere uninspired...all at a place with surprisingly high prices. I was really hoping to love it, and if it were more reasonably priced I might give it a second chance, but given the cost and this experience I dont think Ill be returning to New Moon, nor will I be recommending it to my neighbors.

Everything was great, especially the service! They gave us welcoming chips, and also, before we leave, they gave us a fortune cookie! Plus they were so affable and the food was great 👍🏻

Easy little neighborhood spot serving good food. I love the green beans, mongolian beef and the big egg roll. Ask for extra plum sauce. I think the orange chicken could be better.

First time dining here and I was very impressed. The food was excellent and they served you plenty. I loved the Chinese fried calamari. It was fresh and fried to perfection. We had the chow fun, war won ton soup and shrimp fried rice. It was so much food! Everything tasted delicious. I will go back and take friends and family

This place is a nice lunch/dinner place. The sitting is not bad. It is a big open space with tables. No cloums in the middle. The outside is nice too but it could get a little noisy. The food is good. Not as good as banda in but it is higher than average quality. They are so what fast. Make sure to order chips as it doesnt come by default. It is completely free. It comes with a sweet sauce. The tea is good. You dont have to make couple of orders for the tea. You can just ask for more cups. The staff is very nice. They will help you out. They are very respectful and helpful. They dont have a spinning table so you might get tight on place when you are a big group. Dont come here alone. Come with a group of people. Always order in family style so you can try more than one plate. They have alot of options. So enjoy and try everything with your group.
