China Moon

Interior of fried vegetable dumplings ($6.15). Fine.
Fried rice vegetable ($5.59), made vegan w/o egg. Not overly flavorful, but also better than white rice.
Mixed vegetables ($5.75 for a small). Gloopy sauce. Identical to "garlic sauce" dishes, but less spicy & has celery.
Menu
Bean Curd Szechuan Style ($8.55). More like mapo tofu, but spicy and tasty w/mushrooms, peas, carrots & water chestnuts.
Menu
Vegetable chow mein ($5.65 for a small). Meh. Gloopy sauce with little crunchy noodles.
General Tso's tofu ($12.15). Slightly too sweet.

Taro pancake ($6.55). Pretty good and lightly sweet. More like a fried dessert.
Interior of vegetable dumpling ($5.85). Fine but nothing special.
Vegetable egg roll ($1.55 each). Mostly cellophane noodles, but decent tasting.
Mock duck ($8.55). Not bad, but the mock duck pieces were too big.
Cold noodles with sesame sauce ($4.60). Giant portion for practically nothing. But it's not that interesting & is slightly sweet.

Wasn't expecting much the first time I visited, and it wasn't very good. I had the House Special Fried Rice. Turned out starchy, not much taste. I would have given it two stars then, but I gave them a second chance a couple days ago. This time I ordered a couple things (don't order when you're hungry)... The Orange Chicken and the Shrimp Egg Foo Yung. Inadvertently I got dinner orders of each, so it wound up almost thirty bucks of food, and far too much for one sitting. To my pleasant surprise, the Orange Chicken was absolutely delicious. I managed to stuff my fat belly with the whole order, and then put the Fu in the fridge. Next day I had the whole Fu. Dang, that was tasty, even if the shrimp had lost that bit of pop. The gravy was yummy. Sometimes you have to figure out what a place does well, and then stick with that. I've found my poison at China Moon. Next time, I'll order lunch sized portions. Try the Orange Chicken!

China moon is a go-to. I like near it and it's consistent and good. Employees/owners are very friendly to top off the good food. I'd say this is a perfectly average Chinese food restaurant with friendly service and consistent options. Parking is easy. Note that they are closed on Tuesday. Ambiance is bearish mostly because it is primarily a takeout restaurant (and I'm sure Covid reduced dine-ins). Overall, if you're nearby, want good food for good value and good and friendly service, I recommend China Moon.

China Moon is excellent fast food Chinese. It reminded me of being a kid at the mall and getting food court Chinese. The place is really sketchy inside, with it having a pretty rundown seating area with flickering lights, broken chairs, etc., but it's a takeout place so no big deal.I ordered the Sesame Chicken Combo plate which came with fried rice and an egg roll. For the price, it is one of the best options in Uptown.It was super cheap and a large quantity. The sesame chicken was also delicious.

China Moon looks like a straightforward Chinese stripmall takeout spot that's really cheap, but it's a teensy bit above-average with a couple unusual options. I'd probably come back for their savory dishes.We got the vegetable egg rolls ($1.55 each) and they were respectable, though mostly full of cellophane noodles. The steamed vegetable dumplings ($5.85 for 8 pieces) were fine, but not any different from what you'd get from the frozen aisle at a grocery store.Their taro pancake ($6.55) is unusual (I don't know of any other places in Minneapolis that offer this) and slightly sweet. It's more like a fried dessert.The scallion pancake ($6.55) was fine, and the cold noodles with sesame sauce ($4.60) is a giant portion size for decent, but slightly sweet noodles.Take a pass on the kong pao bean curd ($10.25) which had a ridiculously sweet sauce that made the dish inedible. It was like candy.The bean curd hunan style ($8.55) and the vegetable lo mein ($5.69) were both good, solid dishes. I also liked the mock duck ($8.55) which is an unusual dish for a Chinese restaurant of this type, though the mock duck pieces themselves were too large.Pro-tip: order from their BeyondMenu website instead of GrubHub. The menus are identical, but GrubHub's menu prices are all 10% higher for the same exact dishes.Delivery is $3 and took about 45 minutes from order to getting to my door. If you're looking for giant portion sizes and low prices, China Moon is pretty good. If you want something more authentic in the area, check out Szechuan Spice on Lyndale.

Customer service: not friendly but I was anyway. I ordered the beef and broccoli lunch special. instead of choosing between the soup option I ordered a wonton soup. It came with 2 cream cheese wontons that I didn't get. It was burning up in there, felt better outside. Maybe if they opt to get air condition they would be in a better mood and have a better attitude. I also got a can of gingerale. $1.60 No Flavor at all for anything I did get I knew when I asked for soy sauce and she said there was 2 I should've said I need 4-6 more.

I am searching for the best cheap Chinese in Minneapolis, and this definitely ain't it. I truly loathe writing negative reviews to small businesses, but this food simply is not good. I hadn't tried this place in a few years after getting burned on a meal, so I figured I'd give it a second go hoping that it got better. It did not.We got the General Tso's chicken lunch special, and hot/spicy shrimp lunch special. The General was overwhelmingly sweet to the point that the food was practically inedible. The hot and spicy shrimp was done with some sort of red sauce that tasted like a mixture of sweet and sour with Louisiana hot sauce. We requested for both to be extremely spicy, and both dishes were truly mild. The hot and sour soup was the star item of the meal, and that wasn't amazing either.With so many legitimate Chinese options in the city, this is certainly one that you'd want to cross off your list if you like truly spicy food.

The food is bad and it doesn't seem too clean. For instance, I ordered beef egg rolls and they had nothing but cabbage in them. A responsible manager would take inventory for crying out loud.
