Szechuan Fish

I am forced to come to terms with the fact that the pic on this new review is almost identical to the pic from my review one (1) year ago. After much deliberation, I chose to order the very same mediocre dish I got last time. What can I say: Never learn from your mistakes. I really feel like this restaurant would be a lot more enjoyable if I was better at ordering. I saw someone get a dry pot that looked really good! Also some sort of beef noodle soup?? Look, it's on me and I know it. But I maintain that it's not entirely my fault because the group I go with orders individual dishes which is just NOT the way to eat at a Chinese restaurant.

This is a Chinese restaurant specializing in Sichuan Cuisine in the Worthington area. It did not disappoint! BIG portion, GREAT value, and YUMMY food! The menu has two sides. One side offers more authentic Chinese dishes, and the other side features more American Chinese dishes. My favorites were scallion pancake and boiled fish filet! Wish the pancake came with some sauces, but I dipped it in the wonton chili oil sauce, yum! Boiled fish filet is a very classic Sichuan dish, and it's not as spicy as it looks. If you are not a fan of fish, you can get the beef instead.

Main Moon menu (02/12/21)

The majority of these reviews appear to be from a previous iteration of Main Moon. They don't seem to reflect the menu and the Chinese menu that Main Moon is currently serving from. The current iteration of Main Moon, based on their website, began in 2020. If it's been a while since you've been to Main Moon, give it another go! A couple of weeks ago I ordered what turned out to be a lot of food from Main Moon. I was craving Chinese but wanted to support a restaurant other than my handful of 'go to' Chinese restaurants. I ordered dumplings in chili oil (红油水饺). The dumplings were shrimp based, think chunks of shrimp, and the chili oil was a delight. Crunchy flakes, ginger, garlic, and a fair amount of heat. I also ordered egg rolls which weren't as crispy as I wished they were but hey, I still ate the whole thing. (I am sure that the only reason they weren't crispy was because of them being freshly fried before they were placed in the to go bag. Also I could have easily crisped them back up in the air fryer but, I most certainly just ate them. :) ) I found the house special pot duck (三杯鸭仔) to be a delight! It was the comfort food that I didn't know I needed. The chopped duck was cooked with bell peppers, onions, ginger and garlic, and basil. Seriously, it was so comforting it felt like a food hug. Couldn't we all use a food hug? I ordered two dishes from the snack section at the end of the menu. Little did I know that they would be both sizable dishes. The noodle dishes I ordered were Chengdu special mixed sauce noodles (成都杂酱面), and tongjing xiang vegetable noodles (铜井苍素面). Each dish was different with one being more spicy heat and the other featuring a balanced slight heat with numbing from the sichuan pepper in it. From what I could decipher the sauce on the Chengdu mixed sauce noodles contained doubanjiang, ginger, vinegar, and sichuan peppercorns. The tongjing xiang veggie noodles had a lovely brightness to it from the preserved vegetables that topped it. (Note on the tong jing xiang veggie noodles, they did contain peanuts.)

Sichuan Pickled Pepper Roasted Fish

I am shocked this place is not more highly rated. It has authentic Sichuan's food, and specifically, their "special roasted fish" which is super hard to find in the states (but something we would always get as expats in China). The fish comes whole (yes, head on) and so you need to figure out how to eat it, but it is roasted and all the meat comes off so easily. It is spicy and the kind of thing that you'll get cravings for if you like spicy Chinese food. We ordered the pickled pepper roasted fish, and some spicy cucumber. This was a good amount of food for two people; I recommend going with a larger group and getting the roasted fish alongside multiple items on the menu. Manager was also very nice and welcoming. Will be back!

Hot & Sour Soup, free with lunch dishes. A little doctoring at home with hot sesame oil and some black vinegar.

Look at all that RED! I used to frequent Main Moon in Linworth/Worthington for many years. It had its issues now and then, I stopped going at some point then it changed hands twice during the pandemic. So today I decided to try it again. The menu is typical of Cbus Chinese restaurants right now, a blend of Americanized takeout selections along with an authentic Sichuanese inspired menu as the main feature. The menu is extensive considering the times we live in currently. The staff/owner was cordial, efficient and polite. Today, since this food reheats well, I chose takeaway for two luncheon dishes, each including free hot sour soup, one dinner dish and one appetizer listed on the menu as a noodle "snack." Dish names and comments in the captions. Overall I'd give the experience /5 and I'll try them again. A couple of misses. Not enough lunchtime only menu selections -a very good value- for those thrifty among us. And the dishes are priced oddly to begin with, with many being the same price despite major ingredient differences. My only real gripe is that their huge stack of seemingly new takeaway menus don't align with their online ordering pricing, with the latter having upcharges on most everything - on top of an already added online "convenience" fee. Seems online ordering for pickup is the most convenient for both the restaurant and the customer so I don't get it ‍ Enjoy! 请享用! Qǐng xiǎngyòng

First try after they got a new owner

Great Chinese restaurant. I ordered a lot of carry out from this place. It's pretty authentic. They have two different menus. If you want authentic Chinese food, ask for the Chinese menu. The gentleman there was very nice. Gave me a lot of introductions about their food and the ingredients. We dined in once, and we ordered the grill fish. It was greaaaaat! Will go back again for sure!

This restaurant is near my mom's apartment. Which is how I discovered it…read more It's in the big shopping center on the corner of Kenny and Olentangy but it's in the smaller middle complex that's next to Wendy's It always has really soothing music. It's decorated nicely and the hostess is really friendly. The food is fantastic! I'm trying to order something different every time I go in They have lamb dumplings that are out of this world good I did not get them this time This time Ingot their eggplant and added chicken. Soooo good Actually it was so good I forgot to take a picture! I think this is my new favorite place. Yum

The family stopped in on a rainy Saturday morning for lunch. It's an open layout with plenty of…read moreseating and some traditional decorations. We were greeted and told to sit wherever we like. We were the only patrons at this time. With it being our first time, we took awhile to go thru the menu. So many choices to choose from and so many appealing entrees. We ended up getting the diving chicken and braised lamb stretch noodle accompanied by some chicken wings to try. My diving chicken blew my socks off. It was beautifully presented, aromatic, and warm. It was accompanied by white rice. With Plenty of tasty marinated chicken, bok choy, green onions and bean sprouts in a semi spicy broth. Super fulfilling and a nice portion. I shared my bowl with a hungry 6 year old and still had leftovers! Fiance got the braised lamb and stretch noodles, he admitted he had no clue what he was getting or what to expect. Nevertheless he received a nice hearty bowl of lamb and hand stretch noodle in a nice and hot lamb broth. Also accompanied by white rice. He finished majority of his bowl only leaving some broth behind. We both tried each others and both agreed on the diving chicken having a better taste but I think it's because it's spicier. The chicken wings were on the dry side but they were still tasty and completely devoured. Service was standard and immediate. I didn't see a kids menu. Buy we Really enjoyed the food. Can't wait to try more!!

It's been a little while since my last Chilispot visit and I'm happy to report it's just as good!…read more We came on a Friday early dinner and it wasn't busy at all - zero wait to be seated and very quiet. We were greeted and seated quickly and service was very friendly. As we were hungry, we took a mi Ute to decide what to order. We had planned on storm fish, but made a last minute decision to Sichuan sliced beef (we loveeee a numbing pepper!) with starts of egg roll and spicy wontons. Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!

My first time here. Walking in you notice how exceptionally clean the restaurant is. We did not…read morewait long at all to be seated. There are 10 booths that line the wall and 10 tables down the center. The seats are very comfortable. There is plenty of lights in order to see the extra large menu that looks more like a coloring book. The women who took our order had problems understanding English from the looks of it. One person at my table wanted to exchange rice for noodles but she didn't seem to understand. The food was very good but a bit expensive but worth it. Because they give you plenty. We had to take some home with us. I would go back to Chilispot they did a great job in service and in taste.
