    Black pepper tofu
    Himadri G.

    Came in for a casual dinner with two friends and we were excited to eat at the place my friend grew up going to. However, that same day - there was a huge party in a separate room. It took a while for our servers to find us and when our orders were put in it took over an hour to deliver two dishes. We had to remind them and ask them multiple times when our meal would come. We were met with the response that the large event would take priority over our meals. This wasn't my fav response because it just seemed that if you have an event going on, there would be other staff to take care of their food. The wait time was really disappointing. The black pepper tofu was quite good and the lemongrass tofu was decent but would prob not get it again.

    Combination Rice

    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 There's ample parking since their business hours superseded those of nearby businesses.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

    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.

    Pho ap chao Bo va cai lan. Crispy noodles topped with stir fried beef and Chinese broccoli
    Dnb A.

    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.

    Ms. Shirley's is hands down the best place to eat! Service is efficient, courteous, and friendly!…read moreBoth times we have visited this restaurant, Ms. Shirley has personally come to visit our table. 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!

    We waited for 45 minutes because I think everyone in New Orleans thought the same thing we did…read more"tonight is stormy, that feels like dim sum weather". The wait was worth is because we had a great time at Miss Shirley's. Once we were seated we were brought dumplings, I couldn't have any because I'm vegetarian but I appreciated the quick and complimentary plate! I would say there was about as many vegetarian options as I thought there would be, which is a moderate amount. I didn't really like the vegetable dumplings (pictured with the skewers through them) mainly because I just didn't know how to eat them. I think if we had received chop sticks I would have enjoyed eating them more but having to use the fork was awkward. The sauteed tofu was the best thing I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant, I've been thinking about it frequently over the last 24 hours. Even if you aren't vegetarian and if you've never had tofu before but been curious - you have to start there. Or actually don't because no tofu will ever compare haha! From my non-vegetarian dining partners: the xiaolongbao that came on the mini swings was yummy, the crab meat shu mai could be skipped, the chicken was delicious, the fried shrimp balls are a must have, and the gyoza was good. We also were surprised with mini beignets at the end of the night! I thought that was super cool and they were delicious!
