Egg Tofu with American Broccoli
Pauline C.

What We've Tried - 106. Deep Fried Squid with Spicy Salt - 147. French Style Beef Cubes - 12. Deep Fried Pork Intestines - 178. Egg Tofu with American Broccoli My favorite item is the Egg Tofu with Broccoli. Anything with egg tofu is delicious (in my opinion). Sauce is delicious when it soaks into the broccoli and tofu. Second favorite dish is the squid with spicy salt. Very crispy but needs more jalapeños. Not spicy at all if you can't eat spice. My husband and I plan to eat our way through the menu to find new favorites.

It's been a while since I've been back here and the last time was not great, but I was pleasantly surprised this time around. The ambiance is old Chinese restaurant, so don't expect much. And the service is very old Canto restaurant, so efficient and not rude, but also not super cheerful. We each ordered a dish, so very eclectic, but actually pretty tasty and I'd go back if I was looking for a spot to eat on Chinatown. Especially if it's later in the evening.

Steamed cod filet

After the lobster debacle several years ago, I was ready to go back. The new staff were nice and recommended mushroom beef and steamd cod filet, both were amazing. Their dry beef chow fun is also a winner, full of fragrant 'wok hei'. They do not have lunch specials. Their lobster price is now a whopping $35/lb. Go to Teng Cang Newport Seafood.

It was well lit. I ate here with my parents, brother, aunt, uncle, other uncle, niece, nephew, cousin, and cousin in law for dinner on Jan 30. Crab meat fish soup was the appetizer. It was a bit average and bland. It was pretty lively because of the conversations people were having, there were at least 3 other tables full. We had calamari, sole fish, chow mein and an egg dish. Calamari was pretty good. It was the perfect texture. Chow mein had the right ratio of noodles to veggies and fish. Sole fish was crunchy. The egg dish was a special request from an uncle because it wasn't on the menu. My dad and uncles are half Chinese so they've grown up eating Chinese food from a different province. Servers were attentive and spoke English surprisingly well. They asked if we wanted drinks and we said we wanted water. My cousin asked for lemon and each glass of water had lemon. It was pretty generous of them to cut a lemon and place a slice in each glass.

Hot & Sour Soup.

Located in historic Chinatown, Full Moon House has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine since 2017. The restaurant's name is an homage to togetherness because, in Chinese culture, when the moon is full it symbolizes a family reunion. I didn't actually dine in, instead, I had food delivered via Grub Hub. They have an extensive menu featuring over 203 items, so I was grateful that it was categorized into sections. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Hot & Sour Soup, Deep Fried Fish Fillet with Spicy Salt ($18.95) and Orange Flavored Shrimp ($22.95). The food arrived in a timely manner and was still hot. Everything was carefully packed. The soup had a nice flavor. It wasn't too thick and had ample amounts of sliced mushroom, bamboo shoots, and tofu. The deep-fried fish consisted of large pieces of fish. The coating was still crispy outside and the fish was tender & flaky inside. It contained thin slices of jalapeño and wasn't salty or very spicy. The orange shrimp was coated with a thin breading and the sauce was tasty. It wasn't gummy and was just slightly sweet. Everything was good and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. It was a bit pricey, but the portions were generous.

Late night munchies APR2025
Franklin M.

This is one of the few remaining Chinatown restaurants that stays open in late into the evening. We stopped by after the Dodgers game for some midnight munchies. We ordered Chinese broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao), steamed rice, and traditional hot tea. We placed our order and in less than ten minutes had our food delivered to our table, now that's fast service. The food was delicious and satisfied my picky friend's appetite.

Inside
Christopher T.

Randomly picked this place for DimSum and turnout to be quite good. 1st group in so 1st sitting and got all the attention from servers. Order the DimSum 1st then the soup & congee later and the wet foods came out 1st. Quite tasty and very filling. DimSum dishes were great too, not oily at all and tasty too. The place is at the end of the town so not a lot of foots traffic, and parking can be tricky since weekend will be hard to find. They have 2 restaurants with the same name right across from each other. One with seafoods and one with poultry and DimSum. The interior is old and just cluttered but clean.

Singapore Style Curry RiceNoodles; Bitter Melon, Pork ribs in Black Bean Sauce
Gary I.

My favorite Chinese regional cuisine is Cantonese since it emphasizes the intrinsic flavours of the ingredients themselves. Canton is south enough so that vegetables can be grown all year and so there is a good amount of vegetables in most dishes. Yelp Full Moon House leans in that direction including seafood as written in their Chinese name so I really anticipated flavourful balanced dishes, but ended up being disappointed. I did take out and there is still a Covid designated takeout area designed to lessen exposure which is a good thing right at the entrance. Go farther in for table dining. 1) Pork Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce 豉汁涼瓜小排骨: Good amount of green, bitter melon, which tasted beyond expiration date, lacked finessed knife skills. The pieces were amateurishly cut into wide long pieces which made for awkward eating with chopsticks. Some green onions, bits of earthy, funky fermented black beans, oyster sauce, and garlic. Unfortunately, the tiny chopped pork ribs were battered with a gummy, pasty, thick flour coating trying to make the ribs look bigger detracted from the meatiness of the pork ribs. Leaving the ribs without the bad batter like the flavourful Dim Sum Jing Pai Gwut would have been so much better. Very little chicken or pork stock that would have given this dish much needed Umami. I had to add chicken bouillon as well as freshly ground black pepper to add smoky piquancy when I returned home to remedy this omission. Later, almost swallowed a Dangerous Sharp Metal Shard in the Sparerib w/ Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce. Unloaded a photo to document this. 2) Singapore Style Pan Fried Rice Vermicelli's 星洲炒米粉 signature ingredient is British style curry powder to add that pungent multi-spice aroma. However, the Full Moon House version was sorely short of this all important spicing. Mai Fun/thin rice vermicelli, bits of green onions, bell peppers, sliced onions. Shrimp & sliced pork Chāshū were the proteins. All were sautéed together. Again, I had to add more curry powder and chicken bouillon when I returned home. Each dish was $17 which is a bit pricey, but the amount was huge. However, I'm more into quality not quantity. Every bite should be enjoyable which is why I dine out so often, but unfortunately Full Moon House didn't deliver on this critical point. 2+ stars.

The roast/peking duck is the star. The skin is glassy‑crisp, the meat stays juicy, and it comes with soft, warm bao, fresh scallions, and a trio of sauces (hoisin, plum, and a spicy kick) that let you build the perfect bite. The Chinese broccoli is spot‑on-bright green, tender‑crisp, and lightly sauced so it tastes clean and fresh rather than heavy. Portions are generous and made for sharing. Drink: The hot tea is exactly what you want with a meal like this-fragrant, clean, and poured often. It cuts through the richness of the duck and keeps the whole meal balanced. Restaurant: Classic Chinese banquet‑hall energy in the best way-white tablecloths, red lanterns and dragons, and plenty of room for families and groups. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient: plates cleared, tea refilled, and food arriving hot. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size. Bottom line: Come hungry, order the duck set with extra buns, add a plate of greens, and let the hot tea do the rest. This place nails the essentials and delivers a comforting, celebratory meal every time

4 Piece Egg Roll Ma Po Tofu (No Meat)
Palak S.

The Chinese spot I didn't know I was missing out on! Chaotic, messy, and absolutely perfect--Full Moon House hits every craving, especially when you're hungover or just really hungry. The portions are massive--you'll definitely have leftovers. My go-to order? The Mapo Tofu, Glass Noodles, and Fried Rice--greasy in the best way possible. Don't skip the chili oil--I was this close to asking for a tub to take home! The ambiance is no-frills, old-school Chinese, and the service is quick and efficient (which honestly worked just fine--we were too busy inhaling our food). Bonus: they validate parking! A total hidden gem.

The so-called Gravy for the House Combination Chow Fun.
Renee P.

The food was mediocre at best. I ordered delivery. The food did arrive hot, but the Deep Fried Pork Chops were soggy because they did not puncture the container to release the steam. I expected the coating on the Orange Shrimp to be a little crispy, I also asked that they make them spicy, they were too sweet. I did not like the House Combination Chow Fun. The noodles were mushy, as a matter of fact, the entire dish was mushy, there was no texture. I did not like it. I wanted some calamari, but I'm glad I didn't order it. I haven't decided if I will try other menu items.

Ask the Community - Full Moon House

Does the restaurant accept contactless payment/tap to pay with phones like Apple Pay?

We can do online pickup oder, it’s contactless.

Are you doing Dim Sum with carts on Sundays?

Uh, this is not a dimsum restaurant. It's more a restaurant with many dishes for family style, noodles, fried rice, etc. Think something between a HK Cafe and seafood restaurant.

Where can you park with validation?

At the parking garage next door you are able to park with validation

If the dining room open now?

yes!We do!

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

We went there for Thanksgiving Dinner and it wasn't packed but we went at the opening time and the people kept coming. 90% looked Chinese which also speaks for the authenticity.

Service was stellar. Lisa, who helped us navigate the wine list, was lovely! She was incredibly generous, offering us a few complimentary pours of other wines to taste. Will definitely revisit to try other menu items and their cocktails!

By the time the next dish arrived, we were already finishing the previous one. My brothers and I were joking that they must have a new cook that hasn't learned how to time cooking. At a Chinese Korean restaurant, meals are meant to be shared family style, with dishes arriving at the same time so everyone can enjoy them together. That did not happen, and it took away from the experience, especially for a birthday dinner. On a separate lunch visit, the service also felt inattentive. The waitress seemed annoyed when taking our order as well as when I asked for more water and side dishes, which again impacted the overall experience. The food is still the reason to come. But consistent service, proper dish timing, and basic hospitality matter.
