I read stellar reviews before getting my hopes up that this may finally be that elusive good Chinese food restaurant near Mission Viejo I have been desperately seeking.Nope. Disappointed yet again.First: it’s 30 minutes away. I ordered delivery; paid for delivery and tipped the delivery person. Nope. I had to come get. No refund was given and I wasn’t given my delivery fee nor was I given my tip. Where’s the justice?I ordered the BBQ RIBS. So tough, I thought they might use them to pull teeth. The BBQ sauce is one of the ones found at Albertsons I think. There’s lots of meat on the bones and between your teeth along with all the sugar from the sauce. Waaaaay to tough, stringy, sweet and definitely not worth the effort.I also purchased Kung Pao chicken. Where’s the heat?Look at the picture. There’s all those chilies and no flavor? How did they do that?Added scallions and still no taste? I gotta say that’s some skill set to magically take the flavor right out of a hot red chilies and onions. They should give up on the restaurant and become magicians.On a better note, the brown rice was ok.The Mad Eater
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THIS PLACE!By far the BEST Chinese food in Orange County! Bar none!Deeeeeeelicious!And the staff is SO nice! What a wonderful place for dinner!Go check it out. You WON'T be disappointed! ?
This is still our favorite Chinese in the neighborhood! The Peking duck is SO delicious and I love the hot and sour soup, the rainbow shrimp, egg rolls, even the classic lo mein. Better yet, the staff are always so friendly and professional and the atmosphere is a lovely balance of upscale casual. Definitely give them a try if you haven't yet!
We had an amazing experience. The food was amazing and everyone was so attentive! I wish I knew about this place sooner!! We will definitely be back!
Had the combo fried rice, crabmeat wonton, steamed dumplings, and fried shrimp. Every thing tasted delicious. I would eat here again.
We've been here a couple times since moving to the area. Each time we have received amazing service. Great place to check out if you're craving some American-Chinese food!
Our first time at China Moon tonight and what an exceptional experience it was! We loved it so much that we plan on driving down from North OC for future date nights to eat here! Everything was great, from the lovely ambience, great service (thank you Sandy!), fresh ingredients and delicious flavors, to just feeling cared for (this was also clear from how many regulars/locals streamed in with happy greetings and excitement to order their favorite dishes, that’s when you know a place is loved by their community). We had the Shanghai dumplings (so juicy and fresh, I would definitely recommend this for your starter), Shrimp Fried Rice (this was honestly the best shrimp fried rice we’ve ever had and we gobbled it up, I wish I knew how to make it this good lol), Ma La Beef (the beef was cooked perfectly along with a variety of yummy veggies, great flavor all around), and my absolute favorite dish was the Roast Duck (crispy skin and flavors that brought me back to happy childhood memories eating savory roast duck with my grandmother). Thank you China Moon for a wonderful evening! (And thank you Vanissa & Jonathan, you run an amazing restaurant that I can tell so many people love and enjoy!)
Nothing special. My BBQ fried rice was made fresh but needed salt badly & I’m not the kind of person to add salt to my food. I asked for it to be made spicy & it was not.I also ordered the sampler appetisers & it did not taste fresh at all.I asked for hot sauce & I was given a tiny plastic container only half full.I needed 2 forks & told the gal this. She assured me they were in the bag. Only got 1 fork.All in all I was not impressed. I will not be returning.
China Moon is one of the best Chinese restaurants that I’ve ever known. We enjoyed the orange chicken, the New York eggrolls, the dumplings and the hot and sour soup. Everything is always delicious. Thank you for continuing your excellent product.
Delicious as always. China Moon has the freshest seafood dishes and amazing service.
