Looked at some reviews and we are puzzled how anyone can leave a review less than 4 stars? We are giving them 5 stars. The reason is, the food is cooked to order and outstanding. MSG gives my wife a whopping headache. When asked about MSG, we were told no problem. The restaurant is located in a mall next to a grocery store. The interior is really nice, the service is excellent. We just happened to be passing through on a road trip. Next time, we will definitely stop to have a meal. read more

Was lured in by the photos on yelp and the great reviews... to be honest, we would have preferred Panda Express over this place. : ( To start, the food came out in minutes... piping hot - but way too fast to be freshly made. Everything tasted bland or just plain BAD! As in expired, day old... as someone else mentioned, the noodles were grey and almost slimy, the crispy beef must have been shaved beef because there was no beef to be found, some pieces were just fried batter. They have a huge menu, but I would have preferred freshly prepared, tasty food. The service was friendly and pushy at the same time. There was only one other table being occupied, but the waitress came by way too much, taking plates - ordering us around. At least we had a good laugh and we donated the leftovers to a homeless man. It's too bad... this place is close to home, and we live Chinese, but I'm writing this review to remind myself to never go back. read more

We set out on a noble quest for noodles, only to be betrayed by our usual joint being closed on Mondays (rude). So, we rebounded into the arms of China Moon.... our culinary rebound... and it didn't disappoint! Service was fast enough to make you question whether they had a crystal ball and already knew your order. We got Beef Lo Mein (solid, but not quite "call-your-grandma-and-cry" good like our usual spot), Moo Goo Gai Pan (the chicken was so tender), and the star of the show: Hot Spicy Shredded Crispy Beef. Pro tip: The sauce for the crispy beef comes on the side, which means by the time we got home, it was still crispy. We did the drizzle ourselves like the culinary artistes we are. Felt powerful!!!!! Overall, a dependable Chinese spot in Lake Elsinore for fresh, hot, and satisfying eats. Bonus Tip: Parking is meh and the vibes in the lot are a little... Wild West sketchy. Lock your car, roll up your windows, and walk in but still keep an eye on your car.. read more

Hubby and I ordered a total of 3 dishes - salt and pepper pork chops, eggplant with tofu, and shrimp shumai. We had steamed rice and fried rice to go with the entrees. The fried rice was cooked well but bland. Everything else was pretty packed full of flavor. I enjoyed the eggplant tofu and appreciated that all the dishes came out hot and stayed hot. The eggplant still had its shape and absorbed the sauce well. I generally don't like tofu, but fry on this dish was excellent. It was crispy on the ouside. The shumai was juicy and scrumptious. I could eat those everyday. The pork chops were crispy and tender at the same time.They were lightly salted and peppered and placed on a bed of shredded cabbage and sliced peppers. The service was fast and the host was friendly. The atmosphere was quaint and peaceful. The tables were clean and the condiments organized. read more

China Moon - House fried bbq pork rice and pad Thai - Seafood Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

The food is always so fresh and delicious. Great even if you pick up take out. Very reasonably priced and nice staff.

I swore last time, after getting some very greasy chow mein and house fried rice with a minuscule amount of meat, that I wouldn 't order here again. Well I did. Door dash delivered the food. Salt n pepper pork chops were not crispy, but soft and almost soggy. They were also almost a gray color, bland and tasteless. Singapore noodles were practically inedible because the noodles were all together in one large bunch and had to be pulled apart- very difficult to eat. It had 2 pieces of beef, 2 pieces of chicken, 3 shrimp, and a tablespoon of cabbage. I hate to waste food, but all went in the trash. Okay, they got me a second time, but there will be no next time. read more

So on March 6, 2026, I placed an order (via UberEats). I ordered Curry Chicken and Salt & Pepper Calamari. This was the very first time that I have eaten food from China Moon because a friend recommended it. The curry chicken was delicious but was mostly peppers and onions woth very little chicken pieces BUT the calamari was panko coated, deep fried rubber bands. I literally ate the coating from the first piece and shot the calamari across the table like a rubber band. They are unchewable rubber rings!! We tried eating a few of them but they were all rubber and wouldn't even break apart while chewing them!! I should have had UberEats to refund my money but forgot to request the refund until today which they said was to late. Warning. DO NOT ORDER THE CALAMARI . Maybe they were having an off day but I wasted my money by getting deep fried panko rubber bands. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately, it will also be my last. The food was very underwhelming. The fried rice lacked flavor and tasted nothing like the fried rice I'm used to--completely disappointing. I ordered the cashew chicken, and it was both bland and overly salty at the same time, if that's even possible. The chicken itself was on the dry side--actually, just plain dry. The chow mein was literally just chicken and noodles--no veggies, no depth, no effort. On top of that, the experience wasn't relaxing at all. The waitress kept coming over to our table, removing plates and hovering over our food constantly, even while we were in the middle of a conversation. It made the whole meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. Honestly, they should be grateful I even paid for the plate because I left completely unsatisfied. It's unfortunate there aren't better options around here, but I won't be coming back. read more

The food and the service is amazing! They are very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend the tofu and rice.

Great place for lunch. The food was fresh and very delicious. Great place to eat in or take out, the dining area was very spacious quite atmosphere. The food was ready within a few min and the service was on point they accommodated us to dine in when we initially asked to take out. read more

I ordered for pickup, they had my order ready on time. Their food is always great when we've ordered from them. The food has really good taste and me being Hawaiian, Chinese food has to be good. We ordered the peppered beef, Jalapeño beef, pan fried pork dumpling and egg drop soup all were hot and ready to eat. Best place to order from!! read more

I really liked the broth and veggies in this soup. My friend gave me her chicken cause she didnt want it and it was really good. I asked for no chicken or beef in mine hoping there would be compensation in the shrimp for not having the other two but i only got 2 pieces of shrimp. The wontons themselves were grainy and the beef inside was over spice. They were not great. The rest of the soup was amazing and the shrimp crystal dumplings were really good. Our server felt like she was rushing us until we actually ordered our food. And your water tastes like dirt. :( it was horrible. Thank you ! read more

China Moon - Seafood Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Based on the last review, my wife and I thought we would try it one more time to see if China Moon improved. This will be the last time we will ever go back or order from them again. The service, although she was friendly and welcoming, one third into our dinner, my wife pulles a hair out of her mouth. It was the grosses thing I have ever seen. That was it for me. I tried explaining to the server but again, commuication. They speak Chinese, I don't. It appeared it was no big deal to her. We left. After thinking about the sixty bucks we just spent there, the rest of the food went in the trash. Bottom line, and based on my last review, and others I have read, we're done with this place. read more

Hello fellow Yelpers, I need to tell you, for lunch I recommended we have Chinese cuisine and Siri (my wife), was pushing for the, "Black and White" asian bear place but, it fell on deaf ears (actually tinnitus) and when I pulled up to China Moon, I went from "Hero to Zero" very quickly. I've been wanting to try this place since moving out in this area. I'm sooo glad they offered Orange chicken as a lunch special because that's my wife's favorite "authentic" Chinese dish ;) I chose the spicy garlic shrimp. Our soup choices were egg drop and hot-n-sour w/veg egg roll, it's all included on their lunch menu. It was decent and enjoyable. Both dishes came HOT! As in, burning the roof of your mouth hot. Spread it out, give it time to cool off. After my wife took her first bite, I went back to "Hero" status as she proclaimed this orange chicken to be better than that "Ling and Hsing" commercialized place, the rice and noodles that came with this entree was pretty good, too. The lightly crisp and juicy pieces of the chicken were cooked to order and weren't overly sweet, which is a good thing, for me. My spicy shrimp was also very hot (burnt my tongue), and made to order. This shrimp has a crispness to it, very flavorful too, the garlic sauce was a little too thick for me but, wasn't a deal breaker. Noodles were just ok, as the fried rice was the weak link on this dish. Service was quick and friendly, lots of parking and easy to locate. This "Hero" definitely recommends China Moon :) read more

You had me till you forgot to clean the ... I decided to swing by here because we needed a quick meal and it was down the street from my house. It was a friday night and I didn't want to bring cold food so of course something down the street made sense. I kinda screwed up and started eating without checking things like I should then I was like bro what dafuq, Im hesitant with chinese food after a story my aunt told me about the time she got food poisoning. This place was clean and it looked good inside so I just jumped right in. Hold up, I understand why they have 4 stars instead of five. The staff treated me well and my food came out quickly. The flavor was not bad and everything tastes great and you had me till I looked at my food. Somebody was on slack mode or decided they didn't care about my shrimp, it had sh it still in it man and im big mad. I will never come back here, yall need to hire better workers cause someone F'd you over or really me cause it cost 60$ and I am not happy with this in no type of way. I made it a point to come to yelp and let yall know this is not the place. Maybe if you want food poisoning then do you but I will neva eva, eva eva be back to this bull shit. I normally drive 30 minutes away for chinese and now I understand why. This place is strait up garbage, Im sorry I dont mean to be mean but you almost killed me and it cost me big dollar. I hope this place just closes shop because they are terrible. Be mad Ion care yall deserve it. read more

China Moon - Shit shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

I like China Moon I've been eating here for 3 years now and it's kinda been my go to Chinese food in this area here in Summerly. I love this place the most because they deliver if you're in a certain mile radius of the restaurant SO Convenient. I usually order the King Pao Trio delight but I've tried many items on their menu. The Kung Pao, Beijing beef, Eggplant Tofu all slaps! I love ordering the Chicken Dumplings and Cream Cheese Wontons as well that's a MUST with each order. read more

Great Chinese food. Call them directly to order from them for pick up, save yourself some cash

We ordered $40 worth of food- shrimp friend rice, salt pepper wings, shrimp w/ broccoli w/ fried rice. None of it was appetizing. I couldn't believe it. The wings had an odd taste like soap or something, the fried rice was more of a brown rice texture and color for that matter, and the shrimp & broccoli was not "traditional". It was in a white sauce that none of us liked either. That meal might be on us we expected it to be in brown sauce and cooked more. Service I'm not sure because I did the order through Yelp. The order was made on time as quoted and it was ready at pick up. However we will not be eating here again. read more

The food was very bland, no flavor. Got a couple appetizers and entree's, all with no flavor. Disappointed.

China Moon - Vegetables,noodles, steak - Seafood Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Some good, some not great. The delivery service was quick on a Friday night and reasonably priced. We ordered vegetable egg rolls, sweet & sour chicken, sesame chicken, & Mongolian beef--all with fried rice. We didn't really care for the egg rolls. The sesame chicken was EXCELLENT! The sweet and sour chicken was good. The Mongolian beef was not good. The meat was of poor quality, and the dish was almost all onion. I had to spit out 4 bites of the beef because I couldn't chew it. There were big chunks of mushroom, which I don't like, but others may like it. The fried rice doesn't have any egg or veggies in it, which is what we expect when we get fried rice. If we order here again, we won't get the egg rolls or Mongolian beef. read more

Every time I have ordered for dine in or take out customer service has always been great. Very friendly staff. The food always comes out hot and fresh. No complaints on the food. Great taste. There Thai or Milk Tea I just wouldn't get. It's very overwhelming in flavor either too sweet or bland.
