From start to finish, our visit was absolutely wonderful. The service was top-notch. Our server was kind, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. She brought our food out promptly and checked in just the right amount to make sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was beautiful, with dim lighting, clean surroundings, and a spacious layout that made for a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere. We ordered gyoza, egg rolls, wonton soup, orange chicken with rice, and chicken fried rice--and every single dish was delicious. Whether it's the quality of the ingredients or the love put into the cooking (likely both), everything tasted freshly made and perfectly prepared. You can really feel the care behind each bite. My partner, who has been coming here for over 15 years, said it's always been this good, and I believe it. Small Note: The only tiny downside is that they don't serve edamame. To the owners, if you're reading this, please consider adding it to the menu. It would be the perfect addition! We'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend! read more

Not very good...the fried rice is basically white rice with veggies and sauce. The sesame chicken was sweet and the chicken was stringy. I gave it 2 stars because some chicken pieces were actually good and the food was hot and the service was good. I personally would not go back. read more

This is the best Hot and Sour soup I've had; other restaurants never hit the standard set by Moon Garden. The staff is friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. The potstickers are a favorite. Garlic chicken, Mongolian beef, Chicken Chow Mein are our "go to" dishes. read more

I eat here frequently, this has been my go to Chinese restaurant for the 11 years I've lived in Midland. The food is always fresh and beautifully prepared! I am very choosy about my food and I've never ordered or eaten anything that has not been delicious! The service is great, very friendly staff, the cost is very affordable. read more

Nice environment. Food was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Will eat there again.

Considering we had such a great experience last time we dined in, our take-out experience was terrible. The food in take-out was soggy, and that completely ruined our plates. I was not a fan the soggy fried rice. read more

I have only ordered takeout but every time the food was very good and plenty to make myself two meals from it. Love their beef egg rolls!

We had wonderful service and amazing food as always!!! Loved the egg drop soup and sesame chicken!

The food is not good. None of it. It either tastes old, like it was cooked with cleaning chemicals, or it was extremely salty.

Delicious and well kept secret from everyone. The food is top notch and so super tasty. I think it's worth the visit. Go there and see .

Love the food. Have never been disappointed. The owner is very nice. I love the hot and sour soup. The chicken fried rice is always a hit and I ask for extra chicken. read more

Four of us went Friday for the first time. Great food, fabulous service, good prices ($15-20) per entree. They have beer and wine only. Each entree comes with choice of fried or white rice. We had Sesame Beef, Shrimp and Scallops, Orange Chicken and Kung Pao. All were good size portions. read more

Food is delicious. We had the general Tsao - it was lightly breaded and the sauce was so good. Service was great. It is very relaxing inside. I really enjoyed the cabin feel. read more

Love the food and love the service! Such great employees! Love the hot & spicy chicken. My wife always gets the chicken chop Suey. The BEST egg drop soup! Give this place a try! Greg read more

Only place I'll go to for Chinese!! Staff always goes above and beyond when waiting tables. I love their sweet & sour chicken plate. Don't skip out of the fried crab rangoons, they're the best! Hot and fresh EVERY time! read more

Ate there 30 years ago and wasn-t impressed. Wanted sesame chicken today so I thought I'd give it another try. NASTY! BBQ ribs tasted like they were boiled. Way overcooked and not prepared properly. Sesame chicken NASTY! Coating, which should be crunchy, was mushy. Both ribs and chicken should have hit the fryer at some point and neither were. Egg drop soup was the only edible thing I had. Oh. And the fortune cookie. I don't know how this place has stayed open so many years. Am I just having bad luck. If I am, there won't be a third chance. I'll take Great Wall or even Little Hunan over this place. read more

The food is inedible and extremely overpriced. Please save yourself and don't eat at this establishment.

Came here during the lunch hour. Big restaurant, but they only use like half of their dining area. I guess it used to be a Red Lobster. Anyhoo, the service is friendly and fast. I ordered a lunch special with hot and spicy chicken, fried rice, and won ton soup. Their won ton soup is delicious, I wish they had some hot chili pepper condiments laying around to add some kick to it. I really wanted some Generals Tsao Chicken or Orange Chicken but they didn't have that on their lunch menu. The hot and spicy chicken was not spicy at all. Kinda tasted like sweet and sour sauce on it, it was good. The eggroll that came with the lunch, I didn't care for....I'm not a fan of chinese style egg rolls. Fried rice is the best I had so far...here in west Texas. I would recommend this place for lunch. read more

I took my family here for lunch based on the reviews and wasn't disappointed. In fact it's the best Chinese I've had in a while and I eat Chinese regularly. It was so good that one of the pickiest kids in our group actually cleaned their plate. That *never* happens. The waitress was very well - mannered and fast. The sweet and sour sauce was very good. The fried rice I had was a huge portion of happiness. Tender meat and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant is in an old Red Lobster so I was a bit leery at first but I found myself nostalgic when I stepped inside. Made me wonder again why Red Lobster moved away from this style. The current restaurant added their own touches so it feels more like a Chinese place inside. As a post-script I went to the bathroom and overheard some folks talking about how much they liked their food. read more

Moon Garden - Pork fried rice is the best I've ever had! - Chinese Near Me - Midland, Texas

Food is really good. It always tastes fresh and cooked perfectly. I feel like the takeout portions are kinda small so eat in if you can. They seem to open sporadically, so that's why I gave them 4/5 stars. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in midland Texas. Moo goo gai pan is delicious with the egg drop and egg rolls. The lo mein fried rice. Everything is absolutely amazing clean restaurant, friendly staff, 10 out of 10. read more

Had supper there tonight and the food was excellent. The restaurant was clean and quiet and service was perfect. It's encouraging when you go into a Chinese restaurant and all the people working there are Chinese. Best Chinese food we've had in a very long time. read more

Excellent customer service, so-so food. Was craving Chinese/Asian food and found this spot. Granted, this is midland/Odessa so my expectations are very high. This place isn't terrible but not great. When I first arrived and walked in, it was very quiet and calming. Chinese music and decorations adored the place. I was seated and began my experience. My waitress was exceptionally friendly. I mean suppper nice and well mannered. She took my drink order immediately and gave me some chips and some red sweet sauce which I have no idea what it is. I looked over the menu and knew what I wanted. This was around 7 on a Friday night and it wasn't very busy so she was very attentive to me. I ordered the combo Kung Pao with shrimp, chicken, beef and a side of fried rice. The main dish wasn't anything to brag about. The sauce was pretty good but the vegetables in the stir fry weren't cooked long enough in my opinion. They didn't have the opportunity to absorb or gain any flavor. The green peppers, peanuts and carrots were pretty plain. The dish was served hot, which was nice and showed me it was cooked to order. The fried rice was basically white rice with soy sauce. I found one pea in my cup of fried rice and a trace of egg. No other vegetable and spices were close to non existent. Overall, this place is average. The service is a 4-5 but the food, or at least what I had, was about at a 2. My waitress was sooooo nice and good but the food was so mediocre I can't give it a higher rating than a 3. There were locals in there who obviously patron the place frequently so maybe they know or eat something I need to know. It's Midland though. Surprised at the nice employees, not surprised at the sub-par food. read more

Moon Garden - Pretty good. - Chinese Near Me - Midland, Texas

I love this place. But they really need to allow you to order online. I don't care if the prices go up in order to do that. I hate calling in to make orders. read more

My family has gone many times to the moon garden. Though the interior is dated and dusty, the food has always tasted good and the price is fair. I really go for the crab meat wantons, the are wonderful. Today I went to have dinner with my husband and we got a big surprise. We found a worm in the food, cooked into the broccoli. The waitress let us know they do wash the vegetables but she didn't seem all that concerned. That disturbed me very much. She didn't even offer anything to correct the worm problem! We will not be going to this restaurant again. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars because this is literally the best Chinese place in Midland that isn't a buffet and unfortunately that isn't saying much. However if you want a place with friendly staff and food that actually has some flavor, this is it. Their steamed dumplings appetizer is pretty standard, drinks are always carbonated and never flat. The entrees themselves are plentiful in number, but here are some tried and true dishes that we've tried: -Hot and Spicy Chicken -Sesame Beef -Sweet and Sour meat combo (I forgot what it's actually called it's on the Chef's Special list on the menu) -Lemon Chicken -Orange Beef -Sesame seed balls (it's a desert item) If you don't mind the somewhat strange decor inside (it did used to be a Red Lobster, after all) and maybe having to wait a bit when it gets busy, please give this place a shot. I've been to a number of Chinese and general Asian food places in Odessa and Midland and this is one of the better ones. read more

I was hoping for so much more. The reviews said best in town and now I'm scared for the rest of Midland's Chinese Restaurants. The food was fine but fairly tasteless. I had the chicken lo mein for lunch and I was expecting great noodles but came out as boiled tasteless chicken with some tasteless boiled veggies with dry-fried-hard noodles from the grocery store. I really hate giving a poor review but my wife and I were just not impressed. The service was wonderful as well as the prices and quantity but the quality was missing. read more

I've visited Moon Garden for years. Their food is always good and you can depend on the flavor. The folks that own it are so pleasant and ready to serve. I count it a treat to visit. Today was no exception. They ARE open on Sundays contrary to the report on Google. read more

This place has horrible service. I can understand the price errors. But the prices were way off when I ordered through UBER. The address posted sent the driver way out of the way and then canceled even after the driver offered to pay the difference and pick up the money from me when delivered. I will never order or try to eat in at this site. read more

We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Chicken with Vegetables in a brown sauce with extra garlic, Chicken LoMein and War Wonton Soup. All items were excellent except for the Chicken LoMein. Moon Garden uses the larger noodles and I prefer the smaller noodles (like those used at Panda Express). Also, there was no variety of ingredients in the Chicken LoMein. Only chicken and noodles. Some cabbage, celery, carrots would have lightened it up a little. read more

Always friendly, food is always hot and fresh. We go out for Chinese only a few times a year but we always come to Moon Garden!

Moon Garden may be the best Chinese restaurant in Midland. We've gone several times; never had to wait more than 30 mins for the entire service. The food is exceptional! Entrees and appetizers are full of flavor, large portions for a decent price, and the customer service is second to none! read more

I placed an order to go. Very friendly staff, made my food within 15 minutes, and when I got back to the hotel the food was simply AMAZING. Not a single thing to complain about! If you're looking for good Chinese, I recommend this place. read more

So the dumplings are very delicious and the beef and broccoli is what I usually get at moon Garden but sometimes the beef can be a little tough. However the broccoli is great! So I would recommend going there and I would definitely recommend getting the dumplings. I would give this restaurant four stars but the noodles I tried there weren't very good. read more

Mu shu pork, egg foo young, orange beef, and kung pao to go. Nice atmosphere for a re purposed seafood restaurant. The food is good, but a little scarce with the protein, generous noodles and roughage. Mu shu did not have mushrooms (wood ears). I would eat here again, but wouldn't drive an hour just to eat here. Just happened to be shopping in midland. read more

The restaurant is clean, well organized with excellent service. The menu seems to cover all the bases from appetizers to entrees. The food is hot and fresh as well; however, the chicken, shrimp, pork and beef entrees I have tried all seem to be bland with nothing standing out. So if you are looking for a nice place to sit down and eat this is the place to go. If you are looking for food that keeps you coming back for more then this may not be your place. read more

The food wasn't horrid,but the service was! If you're not a fan of understanding cooked broccoli, I would probably skip this place. If they screw your order up or it taste bad, they don't care. You still pay! I won't ever go back! read more

Moon Garden - I got the Crispy Fried Noodle on the first page... It was rubbery noodle at best! Broccoli was raw... Thankfully no worms tho! - Chinese Near Me - Midland, Texas

Only Asian restaurant I've found around Texas in general that serves crispy fried noodles. I love this placeeeee. I don't see why it's so hard to find crispy fried noodles anywhere but here. The service was fine. It used to be an old red lobster building, they fixed it up pretty nice and its spacious and usually calm and quiet. If you're looking for Chinese that isn't from the delicious place in the mall, give this place a try for sure! read more

Terrible service, atmosphere was still the old Red Lobster with a few Chinese things hanging about, strange musty smell when we walked in too. The food was bland and prices were high. We won't go back. read more
