Quality: i ordered the kung pao chicken and the veggies were fresh and the chicken breast was great quality. I find a lot of Chinese restaurants use low quality meats, not this place. Service: fast and friendly Ambience: located in a spacious and very clean food court, loads of seating. Price: i paid just under $20 for two sides of kung pao and brown rice and the beef costs $2 more. Good quality, but you pay for it. read more

The food at this New Moon is very well prepared and as I've frequented this place many times over the years, I can confidently say they very consistently serve delicious food. I especially enjoy their famous Chinese chicken salad, which I've heard was invented by this restaurant's founder. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

Came for lunch at this DTLA Chinese restaurant and it turned out to be good. It can be pricy but that's to be expected for many places around here. The New Moon has lots of the Chinese classics along with some more modern things. Good mix of Americanized and more traditional items. Prices may be the only complaint, but the portions kind of make up for these it seems. At lunch it wasn't that busy. It's not a big place, but there's enough room for plenty of enough tables inside. The menu has many of the so called Americanized favorites, and those looking for more traditional offerings can also find these. It's about $20 for an entree. Ouch. The good thing is the big portions. Kind of makes up for it. We got some of the things good for vegetarians. Has quite a lot to choose among. I got Spicy Firm Tofu With A Seasonal Green Vegetable. Good and the spiciness was hot enough. This was tossed in a light spicy brown sauce. As for the green vegetable, it was broccoli. There was plenty enough to take a bit home. For sure we could come back. It's pricy but the portions are big and it's like getting a couple meals. There's spicy entrees with many choices for vegans and vegetarians. read more

After revisiting New Moon 15 years later, I was disappointed. wait for food was over 30 minutes, wonton soup was bland and tasted premade, fried rice al dente , flavorless meat, wok was nonfunctional. Hong Kong-style eggrolls were soggy, mostly cabbage, barely half a shrimp, no chicken despite being offered and more . Overall, food lacked flavor, and authenticity, long delay made experience frustrating. I would not go there again. read more

Came here for the Chinese chicken salad and it was yummy but missing something but i would but it again. The kung pao was a miss, no flavor whatsoever, string beans needed a bit more seasoning. We got an order to Chloe's shrimp was very good, really enjoyed it. Over all i would go back for the salad and maybe try other dishes than what i ordered. Service was good. read more

I used to go here for lunch all the time but don't work in the area anymore. I was in the area and had to stop! They are only open until 5pm so I got 4 items to go as I love this place. The veggie egg rolls are the bomb! The soup is like 2 meals and the chicken is the best quality, and I got a couple dishes too and everythings was amazing just like I remembered. I am definately going to go more often as this place has the best quality and everything was made fresh. Highly recomment this place and the staff are longtime employees, so refreshing! read more

This place was suggested by my boss and it was right across the street from our office. It was also big enough to seat the 9 people we had without waiting. They suggested we do family style since the plates were big and people could share. We got a variety of plates - Chinese chicken salad, egg rolls, chow mein, and Mongolian beef to name a few. Food came out at different times and all were tasty, but not what I would call "authentic" Chinese food. Service was friendly and place was nice and clean. read more

I love the Montrose location, so after an early afternoon in the garment district, my friend and I popped in for lunch at this location. Now to be fair, this is a comparison of the Montrose location that I love. The open concept of seeing the food prep is nice in theory, however having the kitchen prep workers making eyes at me more than once was less than flattering and bordered on obnoxious and aggressive. You know when someone is looking at you, made for an annoying experience. The restroom is located down a long hall and you have to get a key to access it. Totally understandable... but again, another unpleasant feature. The chinese chicken salad is always a winner.. My friend ordered something the moo shu pork, it was not memorable... they do not prepare it at the table at this location. I'm a big fan of New Moon and will continue to support the other locations... but downtown, not a fan, won't be back. read more

Chicken Ye wonton and sizzling rice soup are my favorite. Also don't sleep on the velvet chicken, hands-down one of the best chicken dishes you'll have trust me been eating here since 2004 at all of their restaurants.

Not sure how this place has good reviews. First the hot and sour soup tasted like feet. I couldn't eat it at all. The chowmein had a weird after taste. I'm not sure if this was coming from the bamboo shoots but both had them and I'm not a big fan of the canned bamboo shoots bc it literally always taste like feet. The kung pao chicken tasted like the meat was previously frozen. Very dry and had bo flavor. The orange chicken was just soggy. The only decent item was the stein beans but even this was lacking flavor. Also the price is very high for Chinese food. I've never paid over $20 for each dish that didn't taste good. Probably the worst Chinese I've had. Even though food wasn't the best their service was very good. After my review the mgr called to see if there was anything he can do to satisfy my order. These things usually don't happen in LA these days so I was really shocked. Ty again! Hopefully, I can give them another try someday. read more

I ordered Chinese Chicken Salad and Spicy Wings. Chinese Chicken Salad, I asked for extra salad dressing and received a little more than a teaspoon of dressing, you can see the very small container in the picture. For me what makes the Chinese Chicken Salad good is the dressing, so this was a waste of money, and to think I actually called the restaurant to request no peanuts and extra dressing for the salad, I also asked for all flats for the wings. They honored my request for no peanuts and all flats, but what I really needed was extra dressing. I ordered delivery through GrubHub, after placing my order, I received a message stating, the restaurant would take it from there and if I had any questions or concerns about my order to call the restaurant directly because they don't use GrubHub for delivery. Weird because I placed the order through GrubHub. I haven't decided if I would order from this restaurant again because I would want the Chinese Chicken Salad, but a teaspoon of dressing doesn't do it for me. I would definitely not order the wings again, absolutely no flavor or spice at all. It's a shame because the little bit of dressing I did receive for the salad was really good. One more thing, the salad could definitely use some scallions. read more

I've been coming to The New Moon for at least 40 years, when it was a little place on Main St. At the time, l was dating a police officer, and that's where many of them hung out. Well, sadly, that relationship didn't last. However, my relationship with The New Moon is still going strong. Since I retired, l don't get there as much, but every so often, I have to have the Chinese chicken salad. I've had chicken salad from all over, and NONE can compare to or satisfy me like theirs does. It's a 30-45 minute drive for me now and it's worth it to get what l want. See you soon, and thank you, Tio, for your kindness. Hey Colin read more

The BEST Chinese chicken salad in Los Angeles. The salad is crisp, fresh, and light -- the chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender and the crispy wontons adds the perfect smoky crust. The plum sauce over the salad puts it over the top -- make sure to drizzle it on top and ask for it on the side! The Chloe shrimp was also delicious, eating it fresh is always best as it stays crispy with the tangy and sweet sauce atop it. Service is always quick and great, and make sure to order the chicken salad and you won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered Chicken Pot Stickers, Chow Mein, Brocolli and Beef, and Kung Pao Chicken online. It was delivered to me before I got off work so I didn't have to cook for my family that one evening. Well, I'm giving it 1 star because the Kung Pao was very salty and there were no pot stickers in the bag. Instead, it was egg foo young. Even then, the egg foo young tasted very very salty. I don't know what happened to our order but it seems like a legit place. I was reading several comments and they seemed satisfied. Anyway, this is my review for June 2022. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: It's crowded for a reason…read more A friend and I were in the area and decided to stop here for lunch. I hadn't been here in years (15, in fact, which was when my last review went up), but the line was very familiar. We shared: - Urth Farmer's Salad - Full Tuna sandwich (came with side salad which was quite sizable) Everything was super-fresh and generously portioned. More than enough for two people. If we'd known the sandwich came with a side salad we probably wouldn't have ordered a whole 'nother salad, but the farmers market salad was so good I'm glad we did! I also got an iced latte, which really hit the spot. The friendly and efficient staff expertly handled the crowds, which was sizable. We were hoping for a seat out on the patio since it was a nice day, but seating was limited so we sat at one of the small tables inside by the fireplace. It was just ok, but we had a nice time nonetheless.

The smoked salmon was silky and delicately smoky, with a clean, buttery finish that paired perfectly with the medium poached eggs. The prosciutto was thinly sliced, delicately savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tender -- adding just the right refined saltiness without overpowering the dish. Both plates were beautifully presented and generously portioned. The Rising Sun Latte was smooth and balanced, and the matcha latte was creamy and authentically earthy -- you can really taste the quality. Stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and consistently fresh ingredients. A reliable go-to brunch spot in Downtown LA. Will definitely return!

It's part of The Row, which is a cute area to walk around. Parking is free for two hours in the onsite lot. I got my usual, the Protein Brekkie, as well as a cold brew with cold foam. I like that you can pay with InKind and accrue rewards. The baristas were super friendly and quick.

Update: the lox bagel is really good but a half order is $11! Kinda steep but really good compared…read moreto the coffee

I made my way to Imperial from the unfinished side (Santa Fe UC) street passing under 6th St Bridge. I'm looking for a bakery store front and these roll up gates open. A guy comes out and I see behind is clothing so I figure I keep moving, but then something told me to ask him about Rose Bakery. "He said it's our private bakery on the left. " He was maybe half joking about it being private. Inside were a couple of people prepping food. They showed me the menu and I had some eggs. I went from walk through a construction site where I wondered what I was getting into to a wonderful and unexpected experience. The mystery of this day continues ...

Restroom is shared with the clothing store indoors. Plenty of street curb parking. We got the below there's, and enjoyed our time outside under the shade. $5 Rose latte and $6 feta thyme scone. $6 Hibiscus Iced Tea, and $5 Vegan Snickerdoodle cookie. My gf mentioned the seats were uncomfortable. They were definitely hard. Maybe it's a place where you're not meant to stay too long? Haha I liked that this place is away from the hustle and hustle, like your own secret white wall garden haha Theres limited seating and great for pairs. It's a small outdoor space so it's easy to hear over conversations if you sit too close? But overall, we enjoyed the items we got, service, the space and our time together. So much white, my gf said it reminded her of Greece. Be prepared to feel under-layered when entering Dover Street Market. Everyone seems to be wearing ten thousand layers here. I love the edgy and creative pieces in there! But definitely not a place within my budget to splurge at. Undercover anit-mall feeling type of boutique store? The art and style of retail display to devor is alot of fun. The restroom could be smelly as it didn't seem like there was ventilation when I visited it. The toilet paper was partially soaked? Not a very functional restroom with even it's faucet fixtures. Across the street is Lot 613 where burner Halloween parties years back when the art district didn't exist yet or at least expand so far. Great events space.

I ordered the caramelized steak with the lime and jalapeño dressing and it was to die for. The rosemary focaccia bread-- chefs kiss.
