This restaurant has the old school china town vibes. It has a huge menu and we enjoyed everything we got, especially the fried fish with spicy salt and honey walnut shrimp. The spicy wonton with jalapeno in the sauce was also good. We'll be back! We found street parking fairly easily around here on a weekday night.

Located in historic Chinatown, Full Moon House has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine since 2017. The restaurant's name is an homage to togetherness because, in Chinese culture, when the moon is full it symbolizes a family reunion. I didn't actually dine in, instead, I had food delivered via Grub Hub. They have an extensive menu featuring over 203 items, so I was grateful that it was categorized into sections.My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Hot & Sour Soup, Deep Fried Fish Fillet with Spicy Salt ($18.95) and Orange Flavored Shrimp ($22.95). The food arrived in a timely manner and was still hot. Everything was carefully packed. The soup had a nice flavor. It wasn't too thick and had ample amounts of sliced mushroom, bamboo shoots, and tofu. The deep-fried fish consisted of large pieces of fish. The coating was still crispy outside and the fish was tender & flaky inside. It contained thin slices of jalapeño and wasn't salty or very spicy. The orange shrimp was coated with a thin breading and the sauce was tasty. It wasn't gummy and was just slightly sweet. Everything was good and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. It was a bit pricey, but the portions were generous.

First course: Boiled chickenThe classic boiled chicken has golden skin and tender meat. It is served with spicy seasoning and tastes very delicious.Second course: Butter shrimpAlthough the color is white and looks a bit greasy, the shrimp meat should be fresh and juicy. The accompanying lettuce adds a layered taste.Third course: Stir-fried choy sum with meatThis dish is colorful and paired with mushrooms and a variety of vegetables. It is properly stir-fried, balanced in nutrition, and tastes good.Fourth course: ScallopsThis seafood dish has a unique taste, paired with scallions and other ingredients, and the color is attractive, suitable for seafood lovers.Fifth course: Fried dumplingsThe skin is golden and crispy, the filling inside may be rich, accompanied by sauce, suitable as an appetizer.

My favorite Chinese regional cuisine is Cantonese since it emphasizes the intrinsic flavours of the ingredients themselves. Canton is south enough so that vegetables can be grown all year and so there is a good amount of vegetables in most dishes. Yelp Full Moon House leans in that direction including seafood as written in their Chinese name so I really anticipated flavourful balanced dishes, but ended up being disappointed. I did take out and there is still a Covid designated takeout area designed to lessen exposure which is a good thing right at the entrance. Go farther in for table dining. 1) Pork Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce 豉汁涼瓜小排骨: Good amount of green, bitter melon, which tasted beyond expiration date, lacked finessed knife skills. The pieces were amateurishly cut into wide long pieces which made for awkward eating with chopsticks. Some green onions, bits of earthy, funky fermented black beans, oyster sauce, and garlic. Unfortunately, the tiny chopped pork ribs were battered with a gummy, pasty, thick flour coating trying to make the ribs look bigger detracted from the meatiness of the pork ribs. Leaving the ribs without the bad batter like the flavourful Dim Sum Jing Pai Gwut would have been so much better. Very little chicken or pork stock that would have given this dish much needed Umami. I had to add chicken bouillon as well as freshly ground black pepper to add smoky piquancy when I returned home to remedy this omission. Later, almost swallowed a Dangerous Sharp Metal Shard in the Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce. Unloaded a photo to document this.2) Singapore Style Pan Fried Rice Vermicelli's 星洲炒米粉 signature ingredient is British style curry powder to add that pungent multi-spice aroma. However, the Full Moon House version was sorely short of this all important spicing. Mai Fun/thin rice vermicelli, bits of green onions, bell peppers, sliced onions. Shrimp & sliced pork Chāshū were the proteins. All were sautéed together.Again, I had to add more curry powder and chicken bouillon when I returned home. Each dish was $17 which is a bit pricey, but the amount was huge. However, I'm more into quality not quantity. Every bite should be enjoyable which is why I dine out so often, but unfortunately Full Moon House didn't deliver on this critical point. 2+ stars.

I love this place I found on DoorDash! Honestly, I never expected to enjoy it as much as I do. They have such a fantastic variety of dishes and they're open really late, which is a total win! What I love the most is how fast they deliver everything--it's always super hot and fresh when it arrives. I've been obsessed with their pork buns, dumplings, and the honey walnut shrimp is just divine! Plus, there's something for everyone on the menu, so it's perfect for any craving. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should!

This bums me out SO much! I was always a fan of this place, but after delivery yesterday I've got to find a new Chinese spot since this wasn't great at all. (All my experiences from here were based on take-out & delivery)Orange Chicken -- 2 stars. Overcooked, stringy, and the chicken had too much pull to it. Was hoping to have leftovers for days but threw this out since the quality was not good.Mu Shu Chicken - 4 1/2 Stars. Favorite dish of the order. Mu Shu was great, very rich in flavor. Asked for 4 extra pancakes, was charged $5 for all 4. The base price before was $13.95, $1.25 for each extra pancake seems quite steep. Mixed Vegetable Chow Mein - 3 Stars. Nothing was wrong with this dish, but it lacked flavor and depth. Very mid in my opinion. Overall, this was so disappointing.

Based on other reviews we decided to check it out, did not disappoint! The food was pretty good, definitely more of a fast casual Chinese-American spot for lunch, possibly dinner but with a bigger group after drinks. Flavor was all good but the service was pretty amazing, everyone was very attentive and quick! The ambiance is fine but could use a little work on lighting but I will note that the establishment is very tidy and clean. Would definitely try again when looking for less authentic Chinese meal.

Super solid Chinese restaurant option in LA Chinatown. They also have long hours which makes Full Moon a great late night eats option. I came here with my family and we all walked away stuffed and happy. Here are some hits and misses among all the dishes we tried: HITS- Roasted Duck - Honey Walnut Shrimp - Salt and Pepper Calamari OKAY - Hot and Sour Soup - Eggplant MISSES- Mapo Tofu - Steamed Fish - Beef Chow Fun

Honestly, I find it comfortable. As a review, I will say that it's the go-to place every December for me and a few friends. It's the first place we think of when we want Chinese food. It's never bad and the price is fair. However I am from the East Coast and, no matter where I go, from Chinatown to Alhambra something is lacking in West Coast Chinese cuisine; Whether it be the spare rib, the Egg Roll, or just a side of duck sauce. FMH I give you 4 stars because I know you'll deliver a good meal every time
