    Inside order area
    Robert W.

    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.

    Taro pancake ($6.55). Pretty good and lightly sweet. More like a fried dessert.

    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.

    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.

    Terrible customer service I came here to pick up a order for door dash they told me 10minutes so I left and went to pick up another order and came back 20min later and they still don't have my food ready!!! I would never recommend coming here to pick up food especially order very unsanitary and unprofessional

    Shrimp chop suet and hot and sour soup

    We got take out last night and I had hot and sour soup and shrimp chop suet. Everything arrived hot and good. Also we got rice and crunchy lo mein noodles. Food was good- not great but tasty nevertheless. Hot and sour soup was ordered medium spicy but it seemed a little more than that. Still very nice. Chop suet had decent amounts of shrimp. Others in our group liked their orders too. Portions were BIG. Had to save some for later.

    Singapore chow fun

    My roommates craved for American Chinese so we came here and we left very frustrated and disappointed. To begin, we did not expect much since we knew it was one of those greasy Chinese American place and we did eat here because we wanted it. We ordered sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, and Singapore chow fun. The sweet and sour pork red sauce was neither sweet or sour; and the pork was not at all crunchy. The Mongolian beef was actually the best dish; it was what you would expect it to be. The most disappointed dish was the chow fun. The noodles were hard and undercooked for the most part and it had no flavor one way or the other. We also waited for more than 30mins to get our food, noticing that some people came after us were served before us. They also did a bunch of delivery order, which came in after us, before our meal. I would not recommend this place at all. Maybe if you order delivery, but not for pick up...

    I think it's a toss up between star ratings. I found they're one of the rare places that serve crab rangoons. I give it a definite 5/5 tasting! I can tell it was handmade and all the ingredients inside consisted of what I grew up having. I also ordered their beef lomein. Vegetables were sparse but enough beef and lots of noodles. It tasted as if it had too much soy sauce or salt. I'd give it a 3/5, hence my end rating. This was takeout and it was made in a good amount of time during the weekday. I love it. Also, I love their plum sauce for the crab rangoons!

    My best friend and I just ordered randomly online (we're both Minneapolis natives) and have eaten at a lot of the Chinese places in the city. However China Moon is new to us and it was a surprising success. I wasn't sure what to expect but everything was so hot, fresh and flavorful. We picked it up in store and when we got there they were still finishing making it - they took the food straight out of the wok and into the containers for our order. Nothing was sitting in warming pans, they made it all as we watched. We ordered general Tso's chicken, fried rice, wontons, doughnuts, beef teriyaki and egg rolls. Everything was fantastic. Full servings! I would have taken more pictures but we demolished everything so fast. The wontons are my favorite because the majority of places in Mpls use a mixture of cream cheese and a sweet cream to make their wontons. However China Moon uses regular cream cheese to make a savory, crispy hot treat that I love. I prefer plain cheese wontons and I finally found a place that does them perfectly! I loved it. Definitely will be going back soon!!

    Crab Rangoon, Peppered Beef, Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Eggroll and Cream cheese Wontons.

    I reviewed Shuang Cheng previously, and the last time was a bit more than a year ago. In…read morere-reading my reviews, I stand by everything I've said about the excellent consistent quality of the food, the service, and how much I enjoy coming to this restaurant. I truly hope they are around longer than I am. I would hate to find out this was one of the choices no longer available to us. Please read my previous reviews for a more inclusive view; this review focuses only on their lobster. I had previously mentioned that they prices of their lobsters (I love the version with black bean sauce) have gone up tremendously. While true, there seems to have been a subtle change in their pricing strategy. Previously (as of before the pandemic), the lobster was priced by the pound, which is the conventional way of doing it. However, they seem to have two lobster prices. The first one is called "Big Lobster" and they say it's between 2 and 2 and half pounds per lobster. The price of that (as of this review) is $56 dollars, or $28 per pound. That's not really a bad price at all. It's expensive, but reasonable. The other lobster is called "Live Lobster" and is priced $10 less at $46. So the real question is how much does this second version weigh? I ordered the Big Lobster, but they said they were out of it. I asked the weight of the "Live Lobster" but I didn't really get a straight answer, but he seemed to say "about two pounds" which doesn't really make sense because that's the price of the larger, more expensive lobster. But I decided to go for it anyway. As I stated in my last review, I'm guessing this lobster is at least two pounds, based on many years of eating lobster. For this review, I had ChatGPT translate the the Chinese on the menu, thinking it was secret code for "if you can read Chinese, save ten dollars by ordering this version" but AI says the Chinese means "lobster" so if you spoke Chinese, you'd still be mystified. So my recommendation is order the version that is ten dollars cheaper and you may (or may not) be paying $23 a pound. Price aside, I love this version of lobster and it is certainly a better deal than what you would pay at an American style seafood or steak restaurant in the Twin Cities.

The soft shell crab made with golden garlic style was as delicious as I remembered, although at a much higher price now ($44+) for the dish.

The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes that we ordered ended up being very similar in taste/sauce/seasoning but still pretty good. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly.

The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!
