China Moon

Been here multiple times, and the food is always delicious. They have many mouth watering dishes and their service is great!

We went to China Moon for the first time and thought everything was delicious. The portions are generous. Flavors were yummy and the brought us extra dishes to try. Really enjoyed it, restaurant is clean and staff was so kind and amazing!! Chefs did a good job. Wish I had more photos but we ate everything. Pic if fish and icecream macaroons. Sesame chick was good.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THIS PLACE! By far the BEST Chinese food in Orange County! Bar none! Deeeeeeelicious! You can NOT go wrong with anything in the menu! And the staff is SO nice! What a wonderful place for dinner! Go check it out. You WON'T be disappointed! 😋 You can thank me later! LOL!

Food was good service was great I ended up getting the lunch special the Mongolian beef which was really good. It’s just a bummer you can’t switch from white rice to fried I had to buy a whole plate of it. Lucky it was 2 of us cause I would have never finished all that by my self. Chicken fried rice wasn’t even all that good next time I’ll stick to white rice.

1000% will be back to this restaurant and recommend if youre looking for an amazing meal! The noodles were perfect - I love spicy food, they do spice levels 1 - 3, I got a 3 and it was a good level of spice; just perfect! Their tea pots are so cute and they dont skimp out on the quantity. Everything was super tasty, the general manager and employees were super attentive, everything was nice and clean. 100/10 recommend and hope to return soon!

Another very tasty meal. Very friendly and warm service but a little too much lag time before getting waters etc. I assume understaffing at the holidays. Steamed fish is delicious. We will be back for sure.

Delicious food. Healthy choices. Fresh. Excellent service. Super easy to reserve a table, online. A bit of a wait with no reservation. They take your order right away and serve accordingly. We were in and out, once we were seated, in an hour.

The food is really yummy but I feel they are 1000 calories each with tons of sodium or soy sauce. We started with a brussel sprout and green tea. It was yummy but was so salty and oily. I ordered white meat Ma la chicken and my wife ordered rainbow shrimp . We both liked our food but again it was so salty. I will certainly go back but this time I will ask them to be easy on sauce. The service was great she was attentive and caring . The atmosphere was warm and cozy .

Visited during the evening on a Saturday and had a wonderful visit. Delicious food, wonderfully cooked with great flavor within their sauces(Sesame Chicken and Orange Chicken). The Calamari was very fresh and tasted great with the sauce provided. Will definitely be planning to come back each time I’m in town!

If you're feeling like Chinese stir-fry dishes, just go here. It's one of my favorite restaurants to go to in south OC and it never disappoints. The plates/portions are for family-style dinning, which is great because you get to share many of their awesome dishes. That being said, I would recommend this place for solo dinning, unless your fine taking home a lot of leftovers. My recommendations: Crabmeat Wontons, Sesame Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, Sautéed String Beans, Ma La Chicken, Beef with Broccoli

Established neighborhood restaurant that serves delicious Chinese food. Best entree was the roasted duck with crispy skin. You can get the bao buns for $4 more dollars to put the duck in. Comes with plum sauce and cucumbers and green onions. The moo shu was an appetizer portion that was huge, 4 good size portions and ordered the pork, full of flavor. The appetizer of the short ribs had good five spice flavors but the ribs were tough, not tender at all so wouldn’t order those again. For $.99 cents get the crispy wontons, comes with red sauce and hot mustard. Lo mein was basic, got the vegetables but could have used more veggies. Great service, fast food to table.

Always been a great experience dining here. The weekday lunch specials are a good portion size, but not all the menu items are featured in there.

I am over the moon! We happened upon this amazing Chinese restaurant and have visited 4 times now. Everything we’ve ordered has been top notch. I can’t not order the light and crispy sweet and sour chicken! New York egg rolls are super delicious and generous in size. Garlic noodles with lightly breaded prawns are fresh and delicious. Even if you are not a big sake fan you MUST try the Dasani 50 cold sake. It’s botanical notes are heavenly. You will fall in love with this place!

We've been eating at China Moon for years and we are amazed how consistent the quality of the food and cooking has been! Excellent food, great service, friendly staff, reasonable prices! Ku pau chicken is perfect, just spicy enough! ⁸

The pit stickers were great as well as all four of our dishes (peppercorn ch8cken, sweet &spur chicken, basil rice, ma la beef). We also had the green beans that were excellent. The Sapporo draft beer was very cold. We'll come back on our next trip from Texas.

This is hands down the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I’ve lived in La, SD, and OC and nothing comes close. The owner Jon has done an amazing job,top to bottom. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant.

We ordered a takeout at China Moon! We had the orange chicken, fried rice, and Mongolian beef. The orange chicken was delicious—perfectly sweet with just the right amount of crispiness. The fried rice was absolutely spot-on, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Mongolian beef, while tender and well-seasoned, was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how spice lovers would enjoy it. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient.

I mostly rate based on the food, the main reason I dine out. It has been a while since I dinned with China Moon and feel the food has declined considerably. Their house fried rice is no longer an item. They just serve fried rice with egg and some greens (very sparce) and you choose soy, no soy, protein, etc. Or, Thai Basil Fried Rice, which is not very Chinese. The flavor was not nearly as good as when I first found them. No Yangzhou rice on the menu! Moo Shu was disappointing. Instead of thin cut pieces of protein that wrap up easily it was random chunks of protein. Same for the rice, big chucks. Both of the dishes required me to finish the job by cutting up the protein to better mix with the rice and roll with the moo shu. I get the impression they have adopted fast food techniques to produce more revenue. In otherwards, all of the protein is prepared and thrown into the dish as it. One the positive: Wonton soup was good and chock full. They serve the NY style egg roll, an east coast favorite. Hard to find. They are extremely nice and attentive.

Came to China moon with my girlfriend and was really looking forward to the food, but was sorely disappointed with it and the service. Our server treated us very poorly and was inconsiderate to us compared to the guests around. It seems that this restaurant does NOT cater towards an Asian demographic. We had to ask for chopsticks... I am very displeased with the authenticity of the food and the treatment from our server. We Ordered the xiaolong bao, moo shu, and Peking duck. My partner found a hair in her food, the Peking duck was dry and bare, and we both thought all of the food was very bland. We will not be finding ourselves returning.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS: ALL OF THE ITEMS ON THE MENU LABELED "VEGETARIAN" CONTAIN CHICKEN AND THIS IS NOT DISCLOSED ON THE MENU. I didn't have a good experience here. I called and asked about options suitable for vegans. The staff member checked and listed all of the options on the vegetarian menu as vegan. That's disappointing but obviously not unheard of -- they just need to train their staff better. The reason for the one star review is that once you attempt to order a vegetarian item, the server discloses that they're made with chicken broth. I got the impression that this was a known issue and they are aware of it. I spoke with the manager and we (calmly) argued back and forth that the commonly understood meaning of vegetarian is that it will not contain meat, and broth is made by simmering meat. Their stance is that they do have vegetarian and vegan options if someone orders a "vegetarian" item and gets it without any sauce. Aka unflavored steamed veggies for $20. This is illegal, unethical, and could harm someone with a food allergy. My dining companion said that the food she ate was delicious. The edamame (the only actual vegan item on the menu...hopefully?) was very tasty too. Based on my perception that they are knowingly putting customers at risk, I am leaving this review at 1 star until they change the menu to reflect the reality of the situation. Put those pictures up then reply to this review and I will add stars to reflect the high quality of the food.
