If you're in Simsbury and craving Chinese food, Main Moon is the spot! Main Moon consistently delivers fresh, flavorful dishes with generous portions. Everything is always hot and made to order -- the General Tso's chicken and Sichuan lo mein are especially delicious. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable. Whether you're grabbing takeout or ordering for the family, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

This is my favorite place to get Chinese American food. It is an old school Chinese restaurant with great lunch specials/dinner combinations and excellent prices. The owners are friendly and the food is excellent. This is a mostly take-out place with a few small tables there. Lots of blue collar workers and locals drop by and eat here. Do not come here if you are trying to post on Instagram. Get the General Tso's chicken or the chicken with garlic sauce; both are excellent choices. read more

The food is delicious. I love there fried chicken wings. And the people there are are so nice. Thank you. From Tracy read more

Exactly what we were looking for. Visiting the Simsbury trails and this caught our eye - we're still very sad about Great Tso closing on Park Road in West Hartford, but Main Moon Chinese Restaurant would easily be our favorite if we lived closer! All delicious - sesame chicken, fried dumplings, and especially the egg rolls! read more

When I moved to Simsbury in 1987, Main Moon was the only Chinese Restaurant in my area. Within a few years, the local area exploded with Asian Fusion Restaurants, that included higher end Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Korean options on their menus. I joined Yelp in 2012, and by then Main Moon had been left in the dust by the ever-expanding lineup of Pan Asian and Asian Fusion restaurants. So, when I first reviewed Main Moon back in 2012, I wasn't too kind to them, because their traditional menu items seemed old fashioned. So perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia, I ordered takeout from Main Moon tonight for the first time in close to a decade. In looking at their menu, I marveled at how inexpensive they were. A pint of Hot & Sour Soup was $2.45, one Spring Roll was $1.85, and a small Szechuan Lo Mein was $6.45. That's a three-course meal for less than $11.50 tax included. The weak link in my take-out bag was the Spring Roll -it was unusually small and was quite forgettable. The H&S Soup was far better- loaded with veggies, big pillowy tofu cubes, and an excellent flavorful broth. But the steal of the night was that $6.45 Szechuan Lo Mein. I ordered it "Extra Spicy" and I loved it! Lots of sliced pork, sliced chicken, and spicy noodles. It was freaking great ! So, if you are looking for Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Sushi or Sashimi, Main Moon can't help you. On the other hand, if you are in the mood for some old school American Chinese food, you'll do fine here and not break the old bank. read more

I like this place the best. It's wisely said to not trust your local Chinese joint with too many stars, catering to certain palettes or too many hurts the authentic taste. 3.5 is what you want if you're looking for authentic tasting Chinese food, not 3, not 4, not 5. The more you know read more

Family owned by a wonderful, warm & friendly family, Main Moon has become a Simsbury treasure as far as I'm concerned; and have lived in this town for almost 50 years. The food is very reliable, meaning once you've had a dish, you can expect it to always taste just as good as the first time you enjoyed it. Service is friendly, delivery is always very speedy! These people own & work there work too hard and too many hours, but they always greet customers warmly and with lots of friendly smiles. We have many favorite dishes, so let me tell you some of them you should consider trying! I'll do appetizers now, and continue in future reviews. APPETIZERS * WANTON & CHICKEN BROTH-based SOUPS: Both the House Special & regular versions are OUTSTANDING! Every time we are sick, and especially if I'm not feeling well enough to make my homemade matzo ball soup, we order their soup! Their broth is amazing. Your soup will arrive with so many wantons or noodles (chicken noodle or chicken & rice are equally as delicious) and chicken, we usually order additional quarts of broth! HOT & SOUR SOUP: This is the only place I like hot & sour soup. Taste is very good. * GINGER WANTONS: oh my goodness... just order these; trust me! Even leftover and cold from the fridge has an amazing taste and texture. So good! *EGG ROLLS: Best egg rolls in the valley. I recommend the pork egg rolls. And order the homemade duck & mustard sauces (trust me.. so worth the $1). Mix the sauces together.. adding the mustard in small amounts because even if you have a bad cold, it will clear your sinuses!), bite one end off and scoop the sauce on top like an ice cream cone. When my father taught me this technique and said it was a "chemical reaction". Let me know what you think if you try it. * SPARERIBS: Again Main Moon is the best! ... with bones or boneless you will be pleased if you like them. * HUNAN WONTON: Delicious! The peanut inspired sauce goes so well with these. To be honest, I have never had an appetizer from Main Moon that I didn't love. If you have questions about something not mentioned please reach out to me. read more

Best Chinese food we have EVER had. The staff is amazing, the food is even more amazing and I want to eat here every week! Try the wonton soup, you won't regret it. The lemon chicken is also fantastic and they have the best fried rice! read more

Waited 3 hours for delivery. It never came. Called restaurant, got no apology just double talk order on it 's way. Never came. Never will order from them again. Sean read more

My absolute favorite local Chinese delivery/takeout. The food is always delicious, well-prepared, and the folks who own and run the palce are friendly and good to repeat customers. I'd compliment them for the food always arriving hot, which is true, but I live justup the hill from them (and sometimes feel guilty getting delivery, but I'm not a young man anymore.) I consider myself a good judge of Chinese food, and while there is lots of controversy and lots of opinions about which local Chinese/Asian restaurant is best, Main Moon gets my vote every time (and believe me, I have sampekld the wares at every other nearby and not so nearby place.) read more

What a great meal for teacher appreciation week! I was in charge of lunch for the teachers at a daycare and bought a bunch of the family dinners for them to share for lunch. Staff was helpful and courteous . Prices were great as well. Teachers raved and raved about the food and said they were going to order from there in the future. Portions were amazing and it made for happy teachers! Looking forward to returning in the future read more

So I have to say I've tried many Chinese restaurants since I've moved to Simsbury a few years ago and Main Moon is hands down the best Chinese takeout I have had. I usually always get the General Tso's chicken with shrimple lo main it is always so good I like to get it a little extra Saucy or because the sauce is amazing I sometimes even get extra side of it. The shrimple lo mein is out of this world so good. My kids love the boneless BBQ spare ribs I also tried them and they are so good they are not fatty at all and they are cooked perfectly and my son gets it with pork fried rice and my daughter just gets the spare ribs by themselves. The staff is always so kind and they have everything ready by the time you get there. The egg rolls that come with the combos are amazing I also enjoy the spring rolls. I have also had the chicken and broccoli and shrimp with garlic sauce and chicken with garlic sauce all of the dishes are absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend this Chinese restaurant 100%. read more

Just brought in our dinner from here. Very disappoint. - egg rolls very greasy - chicken chow mein was not tasty - my shu chicken had no flavor - veg ho fun was also tasteless Stay away. read more

I placed a take out delivery order tonight and they forgot one of the entrees. I called them and at first they told me I was wrong and that the second entree was delivered. After about 20 minutes of complete confusion and accusations I hung up The worst customer service experience I have ever had Will not be a repeat customer. read more

We went back to Main Moon after not having a good experience, hoping it was a fluke. Nope. Not sure if they are saving old rice, boneless ribs or chicken, but my child got violently sick, he threw up and has diarrhea. it was a disgusting mess to clean up, yet we learned our lesson for the last time. We are very disappointed but going back to the other Chinese restaurant in Town. read more

I stopped to pick up food to take to my mom's on Christmas. I put a note asking the food to be ready later as it would take a while before I got there. The food was ready and hot. The owner (I'm assuming) was so nice and gave me an extra egg roll and some candies before I left. The food was yummy but I felt like the genuinely warm interaction I had when I got there is more reason to pick something up next time I'm in the area. read more

DON'T ORDER DELIVERY! - Even better, just don't order. Unless you have a u shaped driveway. The delivery driver used my yard as a turn around - whole SUV tearing up my grass instead of backing out like any considerate person would. Called to complain, were they concerned? Nope. Their food has only ever been a backup anyway since they deliver. For SCRUMPTIOSLY AMAZING food, TAN WONG is the place to go. You won't find anything better within 20 miles. Based on this experience I'm sure they behave the same way with regard to their cleanliness and food preparation; lack of attention to detail and common sense. This will definitely be my last order. Not sad about it at all. I'll make a packet of ramen next time I need delivery. Owners: Learn from this. People pay lots of money around here to maintain their yards. Regardless, your lazy driver 100% knew better anyway. Two stars because in the past I have had some semi-decent experiences even though the food is sub par. If you wait until you are extremely hungry, it's tastes good. - SO Angry (and your former customer) read more

I was expecting much better, and I'd love to give main moon another shot because it's super close and conveniently located but the lo mein we ordered was a pile of plain soft noodles with not much flavor at all. The fried rice was ok but not barely any pork or the other staple ingredients inside. We could have jazzed it up at home but was not up for it this time. read more

We have been on and off customers for many years. Lately the take out has been superb.Very fresh ,hot and great taste. Main moon is up a couple notches for sure. read more

Food has really gone downhill over the past year. Portions smaller which is understandable with inflation, but flavor and quality have really gotten poor. Cheaply made, no flavor, fatty chicken. Tonight was the last time, far better places within a close drive. read more

Two words : FOOD POISONING I've ordered from this place twice & both times I got food poisoning. Not sure what's going on in that kitchen but something is not being handled right. Both times ended in me having to call out of work for several days & almost becoming dehydrated. Will never be going back here & or recommending to anyone . read more

The best Chinese takeout in the area! The food is delicious (I highly recommend the broccoli in garlic sauce), the order is always correct, the price is reasonable and the online ordering is easy. Everybody who works there is always super-nice. After years of being disappointed with the local Chinese restaurants, I've finally found a place I want to go back to! read more

This is my favorite restaurant for Chinese food. You can see the chef's cooking your food. And the food is so clean and well prepared. I'm always greeted with a smile and helpful attitude. read more

From the Yelp reviews, I really was expecting something more. But alas, it's just a very standard takeout place. If the usual Chinese fare is up your alley, then you'll be happy here. It's all the usual suspects cooked in the exact way at other such takeout places. But it just isn't all that great. The egg roll was super greasy with oil glopped at the bottom of the bag. The hot & sour soup was thick but filled with way too much tofu and unidentified vegetables. And the hunan chicken was hardly spicy. At all. Sigh. If you just want quick Chinese - this is fine. But expecting anything more isn't what you'll get. Quick note though: Service was friendly inside. Just not enough to overcome the food. read more

The food is very good and reasonably priced. Good service and was busy. Was very apologetic and made sure I was updated about the delay.

Absolutely excellent. Such nice workers and fast and the food is absolutely delicious. Also when you ask for something to be spicy they actually make it spicy!! I've asked for food to be spicy at a bunch of other Chinese food places and it never is. This places food is SO good!! You will NOT regret ordering food from here. :-) read more

Let's start with the most important part of the review...the food. Its EXCELLENT! We've been here several times now and every time it's been perfect. The chicken wings are awesome (always crispy and light). The wontons are hand made. The lunch specials are HUGE for only $5.95 - $6.95. The veggies are steamed and never overcooked. Every dish has been great and everything is priced so you don't break the bank. There's plenty of parking in front and on the street in front and side. Great part of town as well (right in the heart of Simsbury). Make sure to ask for Leo The owners are always there and are very very pleasant. There's not a ton of seating inside so plan ahead of you want to eat there. read more

Main Moon Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Simsbury, Connecticut

My shrimp and broccoli was a bit sweet, but general Tsos chicken was not bad. My son only eats egg rolls and didn't complain.

This is my favorite kind of take out cheap and good. The family that runs the place has always been so kind to me when I've come in to order. They're are always willing to provide me with advice on what I should get and how much of it I would need for a family of four. One of the lessons that I've learned is what another reviewer took note of. That when you order the food online it takes way to long even if you go and pick it up. Delivery is a crap shoot and I feel that's the case for just about any where. When I asked why it takes so long, they stated they they use a third party for their webpage. I'm not sold on the idea since it's not working really well. With that being said, I always go to the restaurant and order there. It seems to come out faster when I'm sitting there waiting. read more

Despite a number of great Asian restaurants in the area (meadow, table 570, Hahn (Granby) tan Wong )I wanted a quick fast lunch so I stopped in and ordered about the least challenging items on the menu. Wonton Soup and an egg roll. As expected the egg roll came from the freezer but was over cooked in the fryolator. Lackluster and oil needed to be changed 5000 miles ago. The wonton soup was worse. Somehow it tasted like stale frying oil . There were 4 wontons but they were tough and rubbery . Maybe two better quality wontons would have been better these sad dumplings. read more

With the right expectations, Main Moon is perfect for your cheap Chinese takeout needs. Even amongst the vaunted wealth of Simsbury Center, they do not price gouge here by any means; a big dinner for $8-10 a person is just as easily achieved here as most anywhere else. For those that don't want to think too hard about what they want, they feature "Family Dinner Specials," multi-course combinations that will accommodate parties as small as two, and as large as, get this, NINE people. It being New Year's Eve, my wife and I were definitely in low-brain-power mode, so we went for the two-person Family Dinner. Two wonton soups, two egg rolls, sweet & sour chicken, chicken & broccoli, white rice, fried rice. More than enough food for two. Small criticism - would be nice if you could select your entrees, rather than just taking the two they choose. But we still did great for $15.99. It was New Year's Eve at 7:30PM, we were in and out in under 30 minutes, and the girl at the counter gave us her most enthusiastic "Happy New Year!" Grace under pressure, and a nice last meal of 2014. read more

Ordered delivery. I like that you can place the order directly online through their website. Very handy! We ordered a soup, scallion pancakes, general tsaos chicken and tofu, and the crunchy noodles with sweet and sour sauce. It wasn't the best Chinese food I ever ate, and definitely not the worst. I would order from here again on a lazy day when I don't want to leave the house! read more

First time to visit for me and it won't be the last! Everything was spectacular. I got the pork fried rice with ckn wings. My husband ordered general Tso's ckn it it was amazing!!! The best ckn wings I've ever eaten!!! The prices are phenomenal. So happy to know this amazing restaurant is just down the street from us! I can't wait to try everything they have on the menu. I ordered a cup of the wonton soup as well and am so glad I did. This is my new go to for good eats! Everyone was super friendly, polite and prompt. See you next week! read more

USED to love Main Moon. They used to have great food, easy and professional phone ordering from the actual store. Online ordering is still okay. My disappointments started last month when I placed a phone order and was told they have a new service with phone orders being taken by a service not in the actual restaurant. This led to a woman asking me " which kind did I want " numerous times. I told her, as well as gave her the menu item number..but she kept asking the same question. When the meal was delivered, it was the wrong meal. I miss the personal service when the phone orders were received by actual Main Moon staff. Tonight I ordered again.. 4 large wonton soups and sweet and sour pork combo dinner( combo includes, rice and egg roll) .I used online ordering without issue. A few minutes after placing the order a woman called me saying they ran out of pork ( this was a Monday) and asked if sweet and sour chicken was okay. I was frustrated but really hungry so I said okay. Delivery was quick....However, there was no egg roll. Also, the wonton soup was so bland , it was all soup with about 6 very small wontons at the bottom. Almost no scallions and no pork pieces. I rarely write reviews online either pos or neg. this time I am hoping that someone from Main Moon will read this post and hopefully address the issues in Mentioned so I can return to the restaurant I once loved. For now I will be going to another fast food Chinese restaurant in my area. Thank you for reading. read more

Their food is pretty good. They recently imposed a min of $35 for home deliveries, and called me back to add to my $32 order which was a bit obnoxious. We also waited 45 minutes behind their 45 min delivery time. read more

I have been going here 2-3 times a month for 5 years. The food is consistent in quality. It's not upscale Chinese food, it's the standards, delivered on a timely basis. I've special ordered a few times, like asking for a specific mix of vegetables combined with specific sauces, no problem. Never had a problem with the people at the register, including the young boy in the family. He adds atmosphere, and is friendly and inquisitive. People who complain about his (and their) style of service really should be going to a chain restaurant, where mgmnt beats the personality of the staff into submission. this is a straightforward place, solid food prepared quickly by an obviously hard working family. I like best, just going in and ordering what I want. it never takes long, and allows me to customize my order. But I do order delivery when I don't have time to go out, and have never experienced a longer wait than 30 minutes for the 20-30 times I have done this. Favorite dishes for me, are vegetable fried rice, curry chicken, chicken and cashews, and pepper steak. The only dish I've had thats below standard for this style restaurant was the scallion pancakes, which I have tried a couple times and found to be to chewy/dried out. read more

I usually stop here to pickup some fast Chinese food if I'm trying to be economical. The food is usually decent but yesterday I ordered delivery for the first time and it made me ill. My stomach is still woozy today. Not sure exactly what did it but the vegetable dumplings that were apart of the dumplings combination app tasted a little wacky. I will probably go back when I need another fast cheap bite to eat but I hope they read this and be more careful when they are preparing the food. If you want to pay a little more and avoid my expirience all together try Meadow down the street. read more

Unfortunately, I must amend my previous 5 star rating. The past 3 times we have ordered have been less than stellar. The portions are suddenly smaller, the orders have been wrong the past 3 times, they specified 45 mins for delivery and took 1hr 15 mins to 1.5 hrs and we live 2-3 miles away. Once they promised to re-send the correct order, but it never arrived and they didn't call. Really disappointing. We used to order every other week. I don't know what happened, but now, we are considering not ordering from here again. Previously: This is perfect Friday night I-don't-want-to-cook Chinese take out food. It's perfect. It's consistent. The owners are incredibly nice and accommodating. Our kids LOVE the Pu Pu platter, the pork dumplings, the pork fried rice, etc. read more

This is your average fast food Chinese. We honestly only order from here because it's fast and close, except delivery could be faster. The foods decent and the staff is great. They woman always at the register is cute and funny. She offers the kids these Asian candies and they love it! I'm giving it a 4 star because I've never been disappointed, it's the closest and I still haven't found one better by me. read more
