Combination Rice
Jeremiah H.

This place has some of the best Asian cuisine on this side of the Mississippi. I enjoy their many menu options and love when I discover a new one. August Moon accepts phone orders, so I'm able to order before I arrive. They're always friendly whenever I call and come in. There's ample parking since their business hours superseded those of nearby businesses. I personally like dining there after a gym workout. It's always refreshing to have protein after a cardio session. I order so much they even know my name when I call. The ambiance is always so relaxing and I've always promised myself I'll dine in, one day. I'm honestly not a dine in person anymore. That means a lot that I even feel the urge to do so. It says a lot about their business.

I ordered two large fried rice orders for $15 each (about $35 total). What I received was far from a large portion. Both containers were small and not filled the way a large order should be, especially for the price. I've included a photo to show the portion size. The value did not match what was advertised, and this was disappointing

Kung pao chicken lunch special
Lila P.

Got the lunch special with kung pao chicken and a friend spring roll. This version of kung pao chicken was not for me. Tough chicken and the sauce did not have enough spice. Service was attentive and was refilling the drinks consistently.

Chicken low mein
Timothy P.

First time here but It was a good meal Egg drop soup, is silky and delicious. Smoothe butter creamy flavor. I normally add more so sauce for testing this before I put salt or pepper or soy sauce. I did add a few drops and This really good. I tried one of those work steam dumplings in a grabbed it was super tasty I recommend trying at least one dumpling in the egg drop soup. Soy sauce for me is great but this allows for a less salty alternative. I got the chicken low mein and it was cooked nicely a few pieces of chicken were chewy but over all the dish had good flavor and texture. I am not a mushroom person so next time I will need to remember to ask for no mushroom. They ingredient are stated on the menu that was my mistake. The mushroom were cooked to a good tenderness. The egg roll that comes with the meal was not my favorite egg roll recipe but other may like this style.

General Tso Shrimp w/Fried Rice
Qiana D.

This is a family favorite! They serve some of the freshest Chinese/Vietnamese dishes you'll ever taste. The wonton soup is the BEST!!! Prices are very reasonable and portions are a good value for the money. The restaurant has a simple, laid back feel and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. A must visit!

2/10 chicken pad Thai
Khoalister V.

I don't visit this place often, but I know it's great for Vietnamese events. However, today I wanted to grab a late lunch here. I spent $40 for general Tao, pad Thai, and crab Rangoon. The order took 15 minutes to be made. General Tao 3/10 I went home excited to try out my food. I opened up the genera Tao and immediately was disheartened by how it looked. It did not look like your typical gen Tao. I proceeded to give it a taste. The sauce does not compare to even your average Chinese take out. I appreciate the medley of vegetables, but should just stick to broccoli. The chicken is great and not like your usual batter stuffer chicken. However, because lackluster sauce, this dish gets a 3/10 Pad Thai 2/10 I was really craving pad Thai. It's Sunday and all the good Thai places are closed. I settled for this and I regret it. The portion looked promising. The noodles looked perfect. I went in for the bite and was met with over powering peanut butter flavor. I don't care what shortcuts or tricks you use to adorn the peanut butter flavor. Normal pad Thai doesn't even have peanut butter in it. I could not even get through the next few bites. What you see in the photo was where I gave up. Customer service 0/10 I never return food I ordered, but the pad Thai was this bad that I had to muster up the strength to do so. I'm barely getting through the off putting general Tao, but I'm only calling for the pad Thai. I called the business and she asked me what was wrong. I told her my pad Thai tastes like someone put a big scoop of peanut butter in it. *gross. She proceeds to tell me pad Thai anywhere has peanut butter in it. I followed up to try to be nice as pad Thai everywhere does not put peanut butter in it and told her that I've had pad Thai everywhere and this is not it. She. Just. Hangs. Up. Welp that's what led me to this review. You may have some dishes that are good, but you definitely have many dishes that are bad. Not enough for me to continue blindly spending my money here. I gave you a chance to make it right. But here you go.

Stir fry lobster and noodles

I had them cater for my wedding. They've done a good job and food was good and presentable. These pictures I've post are samples before my wedding.

My favorite dish to get here is pho ap chao Bo va cai lan. It is crispy fried noodles stopped with stir fried beef and Chinese broccoli. There's a lot of seating and they are typically fast.

She remembered us the second time and asked why our daughter wasn't with us. When we told her she was busy with a school event Ms. Shirley packed up a full order of dumplings (on the house) because she remembered how much our daughter enjoyed them. Lets talk vegetables...fresh...fresh...and fresh!!! Ambiance is upbeat and clean, people overall seem happy to wait to get a table because the majority of those that we spoke with are return diners. That in of itseld speaks volumes to the loyalty we locals have for Ms. Shirley! Many of us have been fans of Ms. Shirley since her ownership of Royal China in Metairie! Ms. Shirley we hope you see this review! You are like the friendly grandmother that so many of us miss in our lives! Thank you for feeding us from your heart!

The name may have shortened, but the experience is still just as memorable. From the outside, you're not really sure what you're about to walk into. You get a hint of the Asian aesthetic, but you don't realize how immersive it's going to feel. Then you open the door. Right at the entrance is a koi fish pond with a small bridge over it. No, you can't walk across the bridge, but the koi are real, and you walk right by them on your way to the dining room. It immediately sets the tone. The dining room itself feels like you've stepped straight into China. The decor, the lighting, the details, everything transports you. It matches the cuisine and elevates the entire dining experience. The waitresses are incredibly sweet, respectful, patient, and kind. They answered all of my questions about the menu without hesitation and made sure we felt comfortable. The service feels authentic and attentive without being rushed. I ordered the boneless chicken with vegetables, fried rice, and egg rolls. The homemade egg rolls are always my favorite. You can absolutely tell they're hand rolled and not pulled from a freezer. The boneless chicken is made with hand cut chicken breast, and the batter is soft and flaky. It almost melts in your mouth. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The portion sizes are generous. It's definitely a eat now, eat later, and maybe even share with a friend kind of place. If you've only ever ordered takeout from here, you are missing half the experience. Sit down inside and take it all in. It's one thing to eat Chinese food. It's another thing to feel like you've been transported while doing it. This place leaves an impression.

I have been eating Three Happiness since I was old enough to eat!…read more The owners know my family and are very kind. Service is great, and they always know our orders. The restaurant was really beautiful and always crowded before Hurricane Katrina. It saddens me that things are not the same. The decor is very plain. However, the food has not changed. I'd recommend Egg Drop Soup, Banh Hoi Thit Nuong, Banh Tam Bi Xiu Mai, Canh Chua, and Ca Kho Tho. The egg drop soup is a delicious appetizer my siblings and I always enjoy together. I always have to ask for more crackers though, and the shape of the crackers are inconvenient because you can't use it to scoop the soup. The Banh Hoi Thit Nuong is my all time favorite. You have to request for it to come with rice paper, cucumbers, and pickled vegetables. I love rolling it into spring rolls. It comes with fresh leafy vegetables a nuoc mam. Banh Tam Bi Xiu Mai is delicious, but it sometimes comes out colder than expected. I used to eat it like crazy as a child. The coconut milk gives it a sweet yet savory flavor. Canh Chua Ca and Ca Kho Tho go hand in hand with my family, and it is my grandma and grandpa's favorite meal, especially during lent. The Canh Chua is not too sour, despite its name, and goes perfectly with plain rice and the strong flavors that com with the Ca Kho Tho. All my Ca Kho Tho's are compared to the one here. It is cooked in a clay pot, which is how it should be. The sauce is caramelized and thick, coating the pieces of fish with a spicy and sweet flavor.

I got the orange chicken which came with fried rice, lo mein and AN egg roll. It was so fresh and tasty but maybe that's because I ordered as soon as they opened. The best part of this was the HUGE portion sizes which can not be undervalued. The damn egg roll was about the size of 5 small ones. I actually saved that one for way later because it was just that much food in front of me. I think for my meal i paid about 20 bucks without the delivery fee on Doordash. I'm sure there's cheaper Chinese food somewhere around but for the flavor, portion, freshness I will definitely make this my go to spot on this side of town. and Kudos to them for packing napkins, utensils, sauces, menu and fortune cookies.
