Food was okay. Portions are normal. Price is good - $9 lunch special. Now, the rice, clumpy. Was hot, but clumpy. The chicken had me thinking. It's some of the stringiest chicken I've ever had. Though the flavor was good, and the crust wasn't super crunchy, I finished this meal. If you're baked, go here. read more

My friend and I went for dinner at Ming Moon. It is very small inside with just a few tables. We placed our order at the counter and sat down. We got an egg drop soup, beef and vegetables and shrimp and vegetables. We also got Diet Cokes each. Right when we opened our cokes, the lady asked if we'd like to take our food to go or stay. We were already sitting when she asked this. I told her we'd like to stay. She then asked again, if we'd like to stay or go. Obviously she didn't want us to stay, so as soon as our food was ready we left. How rude? We ate at a bench nearby. The container of egg drop soup was huge. It was warm and tasty. My friend had the shrimp and vegetables and I had the beef and vegetables. It was very good, the beef was tender and juicy, as were the vegetables. Despite the food being really good, I cannot recommend going here because of the rude lady who didn't want us dining inside. read more

This was a very quick snack while out and about. I only ordered spring rolls. They were quick, crisp, and fresh. I would try more from this business. With mustard they were a great way to keep my day going. I only took a little off the review because I wish they had a tad more saltiness/flavor. I understand everyone has dietary constraints so soy sauce may be the best option for most read more

Ming Moon - Lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

asked for shrimp fried rice with vegetables with wings and a shrimp roll let me just tell you the rice had very little shrimp and no vegetables the wings were refried which i cant stand and the roll was so greasy i could not eat read more

I have been a customer for 20 years but the people that took it over two years ago have steadily let the quality decline to the point where it's inedible for me. Everything has the same basic underlying flavor of chicken broth. Nothing is seasoned properly or marinated for enough time. The ribs and teriyaki beef are not broiled long enough to bring out the flavors and char. The rice is inferior compared to what the previous owners used. Every time I went there it got worse, so I just stopped going. Would recommend you stay away unless you like bland, poorly prepared food. read more

Having recently moved to the Wethersfield area, Mark C and I have been on the hunt for a new "go to" restaurant for Chinese Take Out for those nights when it's easier to dial up dinner. This past Friday after having attended the Liquid Lounge at the CT Science Center - we decided to see if Ming Moon would pass our very rigorous take-out standards. Even as we entered the restaurant around 8:30 pm, Ming Moon was doing a brisk take out and delivery business. Employees moved throughout the back of the kitchen making the standard take out items Americans consider "authentic". We had to wait several minutes to be assisted which was fine as it gave us time to peruse the menu and take a look around. In contrast to many of your typical Chinese Take out restaurants, Ming Moon actually has several booths and tables for those looking to dine in. Taking a change I ordered a new to me soup called Dragon Phoenix Soup - which was described to me as "white chicken, egg whites, mushrooms, peas, and chunks of lobster meat." Sounded good - so I ordered a container along with my standard steamed shrimp with mixed vegetables (garlic sauce on the side) and brown rice. Mark C. ordered some steamed dumplings, their house Won Ton Soup, and some boneless spare ribs. The order took about 10 minutes and while we waited the aromas from the kitchen made me hope that our home would soon be engulfed by the same smells. Once home it was time for the true test - the taste test. Well I am sorry to say that the aromas from the restaurant definitely did not translate to the food we ate. From overly spicy, non-garlicy sauce, to dry/tough boneless spare ribs with little to no sauce, our meal was a disappointment on all levels. The best part of the dumplings - the sauce that came with it. I will given them credit that my steamed dish was chocked full of shrimp but the sauce that accompanied it was so spicy that it was a struggle to finish. And the soup - Mark C.'s "House" Won Ton which is my take out gold standard fell flat - it just tasted like they took chicken broth and added some dumplings and vegetables - and my Dragon Phoenix Soup consisted of a thick cornstarch broth with what appeared to be canned lobster, I think. I could not tell as the soup was so overrun with mushrooms and I had to scoop the bottom of the container to get at the lobster. As much as we had high hopes for Ming Moon - it will not be in our rotation. The search, continues..... read more

I am disappointed with the new management. This was my go-to place for Chinese food in Newington. I ordered steamed dumplings today. They weren't hot. There were 7 of them not 8 and meat inside was bland. On the plus side, the service was good. read more

The food has always been great. The steam dumplings are my favorite they are just perfect. The only thing we are always short on our order but we love to food so much we over look it. read more

Food is good and fresh but the serving size has diminished, probably due to inflation

Extremely rude woman that gives you your order. Had been a customer for 20 years and today she was so rude, we will never be back. Owners should take note since they were there when the rudeness was happening. And the food isn't that great either. read more

I have lived in the area for years and have been searching for a Chinese restaurant with food as good as the one in my hometown. Ming Moon is the only one that even comes close. I got takeout from them for the first time just before they closed for COVID and I was really sad when I found out. Well they are open again and I'm so happy! They do not offer curbside pickup, but they have totally reconfigured the restaurant to keep them and the customers super safe. There is a new wall and a plexiglass window with a little door that they open to give you your food. They post the order numbers that are ready in the window so you know before going in if it is ready. There's just one customer inside at a time. As far as the food goes, be a little adventurous. I tried a bunch of things I've never had before and they were all great. I like the amount of veggies they give with all the various dishes. read more

We've been going to here for years. Mostly, the food has been pretty decent and no super complaints. However, this evening's order was different. Half of it was missing, and since I ordered takeout, I needed to go back and pick up the rest of it. The food itself was extremely disappointing. I ordered a happy family meal, and it tasted and looked like it was thrown together using a hodge-podge of leftovers. The shrimp was more than questionable. There was no sauce. Just a bunch of congealed liquid with zero flavor..$26 down the drain and we won't be back. read more

Just picked up some general Tao's off the lunch menu. Asked for extra spicy and they delivered. It was also very tasty, and the woman behind the counter was very friendly. Great job read more

Since new owners ,2 weeks ago, tried it twice, food is lousy, no flavor or heat, ridiculous $3 upcharge for white meat chicken(formally $1). Not like Young and Abbey, sorry to see them go!! Time to find a new place. read more

Food was good. I was surprised the Great Wall of china was up so you could not go into the restaurant

Such a good place to eat. Always making food fast and always delivered on time and fast. I always recommend this place to my coworkers and family. And they try it and always want it. This is my go to chinese food place read more

The food is about average. But what makes it my go to place is that they treat you like they actually appreciate your business. We have been going for years and I have never had a bad experience. If something does go wrong they fix it and apologize. read more

This was my second visit, and a completely different experience from my first time six months ago. This time I called and was unsure if I'd reached the right place because I couldn't understand the woman at all. Told her what I wanted and she said, "OK" and started to hang up. I had to ask how long it would take and was still unsure about what she said. When I arrived, the place was completely empty, she had the food bagged up already, never asked if I wanted white rice or fried rice or lo mein (assumed I wanted pork fried rice, I guess, since that's what I got). She then disappeared into the back, so asking about the free soup or soda was out of the question. Not really sure how to rate this place now. I guess I'll have to go back a third time to see which end of the spectrum my experience lies on. =====EDIT #2: July 2013===== OK, I've now been to Ming Moon three times and finally grew the balls to ask about the advertised free soup/soda. The cashier said, "Soda can only" and motioned toward the cooler. Maybe they don't offer soup in the summer? Whatever. I rate this place a solid three stars and I'll be back. read more

Just ordered delivery. Not good. Did not take our order correctly and had to call back twice. Hot and spicy shrimp was horrible! No spice and cloyingly sweet. 5 orders and only 2 fortune cookies. Really?? read more

They had no help , when i left they had 12 tables to be cleaned off and the food on the buffy was awful no crayfish or coconut shrimp !!!! If you run a restaurant if you are out of food with no help you need to close the doors read more

This place used to be amazing! I don't know if ownership changed but the food now is barely edible. Szechuan sauce I was charged a 1.50 extra for and it didn't taste anything close to how it should. Very disappointed because this used to be very good. Wasted $14 and everything I ordered was blaaaa. Well I didn't eat the egg roll so maybe that would have been worthy of another star, you can't mess up an egg roll right? read more

I moved to Newington about 3 years ago and was looking for local takeout that would get delivered to my house. Ming Moon was a couple of miles down the street and delivered (pun intended). Calling in your order was quick and easy. I've ordered from them 8-10x and they have always gotten my order correct. I'm not "picky", but I do order my shrimp fried rice without vegetables or soy sauce. It's a strange request that they handle well and it comes out delicious. Pricing is about "market value". They aren't expensive in my opinion. The rice always seems tastes fresh. I've gone to other places where the rice tastes reheated/recooked. I highly recommend the shrimp egg roll. It's stuffed with plenty of shrimp! Delivery was quick! read more

Great prices, good food, quick delivery. Tried several different dishes and so far have no complaints. If you crave Chinese food to eat on the couch in you PJ this is the way to go! read more

Horrible chow mein. Shredded lettuce no other vegetables except 1 carrot and snap pea. Won't be going back .

New spot?!?! I love finding a new spot! For starters, they have my beloved veggie dumplings! They were doughy, but good. And the sauce was excellent! I asked for extra, and I got it! My husband got the sweet and sour chicken combo. The chicken bites were smaller than chicken nuggets, but they were good, not greasy. The sauce was delicious! It was indeed sweet AND sour! Not just sweet and sweet sauce. The fried rice was fluffy and light, also not greasy. And he said the egg roll was good. I did online ordering (God send!). Delivery was on time. $1 delivery charge. total for dumplings and combo platter, with tax and fee was $14. Also, for no reason, they have more than 10 kinds of soup. I'll be back... read more

I went for a quick bite , with my son after shopping next door. I had expected the typical greasy take-out, but was very surprised that it was clean & bright. Son had some boneless ribs, dumplings.. I had the fish ball soup, cold sesame noodles and some spring rolls. was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Next time I'm in the market square..it will be on the list to go to.. I read more

Shoulda stuck with New China.... Decided to try ming moon after not having it for ten years. Went with the steamed dumplings and beef and broc.....dumplings were good but New China is better.... Beef had a tendony chew to it... Also had white chunks of fat still on the beef.... Brocolli was decent but its kinda hard to mess that up...Rice was blah and tasteless it had one pea 5 bean sprouts and tasted more like oil....... Stick with New China.... read more

Not bad, I like them more than I did in the past. Their strict vegetarian options have increased, they have vegan options posted up (although a bit more pricy, not sure why) I really like their hot and sour soup, it has many mushrooms and the broth is vegetarian /vegan. For a fast food take out , it's not bad at all Wait time is very reasonable read more

Tonight was the 2nd time in two weeks that I had take out from ming moon. Last week I had gen. so chicken, my ultimate test for Chinese take out. It was edible. Very dry, like it had been reheated more than once. Won ' t waste calories on that anymore; I had the $ 10 value meal; one little stalk of over cooked broccoli and the hot peppers were so old, there was no heat to them. Tonight I had another value meal ( no egg roll with this one but, after my first eggroll last week, it wasn't missed. I could have gotten a whole box of frozen egg rollls from B J 's and never have known the difference. Tonight I had chicken wings, fried shrimp that was so dried out I really couldn't tell it was shrimp and sweet and sour chicken balls that also could be found in the freezer section of B J's. One more try next week, but then I just might go to B J's. read more

By far the best Chinese food I've had in Connecticut. It's always fresh, tasty, and well presented. Moreover, owners are kind and gracious. I appreciate so much the changes they've made in response to COVID-19. I'm hooked. read more

Had the general tso today, it was pretty much inedible. All batter and no chicken, hard chunks of fried nothing. The one piece that had some meat was very dark in color. Ended up throwing it out. This wasn't the first time I have been disappointed by Ming Moons food. I just figured to try something else. If you are thinking about it, just don't. read more

Last minute my pregnant wife had a craving for egg drop soup and veggie lo mein. On a whim I stopped here on my way home. Everything was ready within 10 minutes, they took great COVID precautions, and the food was really good! read more

It's a small unassuming chinese spot. Was in the area and ordered to go. Glad i did. Excellent lo mein, general tso chicken, chicken and broccoli and hot and sour soup. Don't mind driving out of my way to get from here. Not disappointed at all! read more

Love this Chinese food. So happy they have reopened. We had several different orders and everyone was delighted, even the "picky" eaters.

My favorite Chinese restaurant, love how if you ask for chop sticks they give it at no extra cost, love their value meals, great for people who want to different meals in one. read more

Ming moon is hit and miss. It can be the best Chinese food, period. Sometimes it's over greasy. The staff(family owned) is the nicest staff. It's worth a shot, but I hope it's on a good day. read more

I really don't understand the bad reviews. I've live in the area for 6 years trying desperately to find a great Chinese place. After many disappointment at $5 delivery fees I finally found ming moon. Crab Rangoon is amazing, as are the dumplings, spareribs and soups. We live near CCSU and it was only $1 deliver fee. Don't listen to the bad reviews, try it for yourself! read more
