We went at 6 o'clock. The service was good.. since they have reopened. The place was clean and the food was actually very good.. I really enjoyed it and we weren't rushed out after we ate so it was actually nice to be able to sit and talk.. read more

I went in here hoping for a quick dinner before a movie and I was surprised by how big the place was. It has a modern feel to it with the metal tables and chairs but feels fresh and clean. I started with the steamed veggie dumplings which were amazing paired with the sauce. It was soy based but wasn't too salty and had a nice, balanced sweetness to it which I loved. Then came the chicken chow fun and it was big enough that I had to take the rest home which made for a great lunch at work the next day! I loved how each bite had a new vegetable in it; eggplant, broccoli, carrot, mushroom, jicama, peppers, onions. And LOTS of noodles. I really enjoyed it! Would definitely come back maybe on a night where it's bustling a bit more (I went on a Wednesday at 5pm and was the only one there). read more

Ate here last night and the food was terrible and I now have food poisoning this morning do not eat here it is terrible

I had a very nice lunch here. for the table we ordered the chicken curry lunch special, the sesame chicken lunch special and some sushi. The hot and sour soup that came with the lunch special was just that: Hot and sour, just perfect! The yellow Curry dish was amazing, and my girlfriend really enjoyed the sushi which was fresh and delicious. The sesame chicken was also quite good, nice and crunchy. They don't rush you so you can take your time. All in all a really nice lunch read more

this place makes me feel disgusted and the meat was pink and raw. never never again coming here. So outdated and the tables were sticky

Excellent, takeout, and reliable tasty quality. We use it often and really disappointed, although the fortune cookies are rarely acceptable. I like the sushi and the Chinese menu. Fast and reliable takeout also read more

Consistently solid food. I especially like the cold sesame noodles. Were closed for a bit and recently reopened, looking forward to ordering more. read more

The cuisine is of exceptional quality, and the staff demonstrates remarkable friendliness. The establishment maintains an impeccable level of cleanliness, and the customer service is exemplary. I highly recommend dining. read more

Surprised Water Moon isn't rated higher. I've never had something I didn't enjoy from this restaurant. The apps are all tasty, the entrees are good portions and very tasty, and the sushi is yummo. We do a lot of takeout since it really convenient. We love all the dumplings, the Viewtnamese salad is a fave, and the lomein, Thai fried rice, and moo shu are delish. The restaurant is always abke to seat you if you walk in and the takeout is always quick. We love this spot!! read more

Pretty decent food but lacks in the service department. Waiter took a long time to attend to us and we had to ask 50 freaking times to get our water cups refilled. Also, our receipt had gratuity added on even though it was just a party of 2. Shady business practice, would recommend avoiding at all cost. read more

We hadn't ordered from Water Moon in a few years but used to love the place. Our most recent delivery order was estimated to arrive in 65 minutes but was here in 45 minutes, so we were pleased. Unfortunately, the food was room temperature rather than hot. We ordered three dishes: the Sambal Sauce Entrée which is supposed to be spicy but, although the flavor was pleasant, it only had the slightest bit of hotness; the Broccoli Soy Ginger Sauce Entrée was OK but there was no trace of ginger in the sauce; the Lo Mein was drenched in a sauce that tasted like it was 80% straight soy sauce and not enjoyable at all. We used order from here from time to time as it was higher quality food than some of the other places around but after this experience we are unlikely to ever order from them again. read more

This place deff deserves more then 3 stars. Very spacious, lots of seating and very clean. The sushi is very very good, good fish and good ingredients. The dumplings are to die for and the menu is HUGE. I came back the next day after my first time eating there! read more

I happened to be in Rye this evening, so I decided to check out Water Moon and get some sushi rolls to take away. They tout a 25 Zagat rating on their front door so I was expecting sushi excellence, or something very close to it. Unfortunately, when I got my order home I almost immediately began to lament that it was just your every day, run of the mill Westchester sushi and nothing special at all. The naruto roll was the best of the bunch, very fresh and quite delicious with the accompanying sauce. The salmon and tuna rolls however were totally forgettable and were about what you'd find in any average sushi spot. Don't get me wrong, the sushi was definitely eatable, it's just that some of it was poorly made. All of the non-naruto rolls quickly unraveled after being hoisted up on my chopsticks, and I didnt really like that the fish inside some of the rolls were tiny non descript pieces, very much resembling scraps. Whaddaya gonna do? Three stars. read more

Water Moon - Rainbow naruto, salmon avocado roll, tuna avocado roll. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rye, New York

Saw the new addition of Water Moon to seamless and wanted to check it out. The food was awesome. My friend and I started with some the miso soup, dim sum and fried pork dumplings. The miso soup had great flavor to it and the liquid didn't separate. Both the dim sum and dumpling were also great so much flavor I could've just ate that for my whole meal. My friend ordered the garlic green bean and chicken bento box. I tasted her chicken and it was also very good could use a little more spice to it. I had the Thai curry chicken which again could've used more spice to give it a better flavor. With the appetizers alone I could give this place 5 stars. But the service was a little weird. As soon as we sat down our waitress brought water and asked if we were ready to order. Immediately after we sat down. We didn't even have a chance to look at the menu. And the place wasn't packed it's not as if they needed to get us out quick. We would be half way through a portion of the meal and she would ask if we were done. So they can def work on giving a little space and timing out when to ask certain things. read more

I used to come eat here in rye and it was good but recently I have had the worst service and even worse delivery... I live down the street and I physically had a delivery man try to pry my door open to tell me that a five dollar tip was not enough for going down the street... I have never in my life experienced that kind of abuse it was disgusting and even when I was a server and bartender back in the day I would've never treated anyone like that... I called Watermoon and told them about what he did and they never did anything about it he came back to deliver again and taunted me... They need to fix their whole entire system because it isn't working read more

Can I just start of here saying I almost died when they gave me their "peanut free Shanghai noodles." Even if they don't accidentally almost kill you the food is still not even enjoyable in fact it's disgusting. I was trying to enjoy my Sunday afternoon when I ordered almost 50$ worth of Asian food. When I came to the Shanghai noodles, again I asked the waiter if it was peanut free and he assured me I had nothing to worry about. Then I began to hive up and my throat closed in. Well now I was done I Paid for my meal and then I went back to my house to clear my throat. It is insane that they are still in business. I am completely done with Water moon. ONE STAR. read more

Amazing food, great ambiance and great location! My favourite Asian restaurant in Rye.

Just ordered delivery from Water Moon. The food was OK. Unfortunately if you're ordering for delivery and the place doesn't seem to know how to do deliveries it just makes for a difficult experience. I ordered a soup and got no spoon. I didn't get any silverware, period. I ordered sushi and got no container for the soy sauce. I didn't get any napkins. I'm staying at a hotel, so where am I supposed to get this stuff? Oh, and the delivery guy was kind of rude on the phone when he arrived. In terms of the food... The veggie sushi was fine. I didn't like the cucumber one, but avocado and tempura ones were good. I didn't like the hot and sour soup. The chow fun was decent. Probably needed some hot sauce, which I forgot to request. Plenty of food, due to the $20 order minimum. Overall, the food was similar to another nearby delivery place, but with the negative service experience, I see no reason to order from here next time. read more

Excellent Food, but can be inconsistent depending on the chef. Here are a few of my favorites. Beef Pad Thai is so good that I find myself craving it. I'm not a big pasta person but this dish is so delicious I find myself eating the leftovers! Seared tuna salad is my new favorite. Nice portion.. Steak and Jumbo shrimp. The vegetables are so perfectly cooked I find myself eating them first and wishing I could just have a plate of them! I would not recommend their BBQ ribs or their wonton soup. read more

Service here is pretty lack luster; seem put out to seat you or take your order and then disappear. It took forever to get the waitress' attention. Food is average, not worth it given the other restaurants in the area. read more

Watermoon is one of Rye's neighborhood gems, as zen as 'zen' gets in Westchester. Reasonably priced, altruistic with selections - the cuisine, well-defined in its menus, features distinctive flavors from Asian & Southeast Asian countries, as well as innovative fusion that accommodates Western palates. Watermoon's Thai Red Curry, for instance, deviates from curries found in Bangkok restaurants, but simply put, it works. Flavorful, adequately spiced, well-portioned and just delicious. Happy to find a variety of sushi platters and special rolls, thanks to the restaurant's recent expansion of its Japanese selections. I've long been on the lookout for the ultimate sushi rice - my extensive search spanned Japanese restaurants throughout Westchester/CT, the speckles of little Tokyos in Manhattan, Queens - NY's supposed authentically "Asian" hub, more Asian-friendly states in the West coast, and a few within Asia itself. But whoa, Watermoon's sushi chef had his rice down right - totally unexpected from an Asian fusion restaurant, in Rye! The Spicy Titanic Roll was stellar. I usually prefer my makis very thin on the rice, but I couldn't get enough of the slight sweet, slightly vinegary, just-the-right-amount-of sticky concoction. 5 stars on that & the hefty slivers of avocado. It was however, a tad skimp on the fish. Consistency may be the issue here. As the nosy foodie, I tend to glance and scout around. Another table's Spicy Titanic abounded with thick slabs of fresh salmon. Perhaps it's all about one's luck. Nevertheless, I was satisfied. I will need to go back to Watermoon - and I honestly don't mind - to cover all items in the menu. For first-timers, I suggest the dim sum sampler. The huge bamboo basket of assorted dim sum & dumplings gives a pretty good introduction to the bounty of dim sum options. Dim sum here is not Chinatown caliber, but stands on its own. Enjoyed my dining experience here, quite immensely. Service is friendly, helpful & accommodating. Some frustrating timing issues though when the kitchen got swamped. Hope to see improvements on my next visit, but I'm not thwarted. read more

This is provably my least favorite restaurant in Rye. Front desk and kitchen chef using cell phone all the time. read more

We use to love Water Moon. After the last 3 times we've order the food is inedible. General Tao's chicken overcooked.

After reading the other Yelpers' reviews, I wasn't holding my breath about Water Moon. A lot of folks were displeased with either the service or the food or both. While I can understand the complaints about service (the waiter had to be asked two separate times to refill the water at our table), I thought the food was quite good. My dining companion and I both had the prix fixe dinner special (offered Sunday through Thursday), which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $19.99. The hot and sour soup was tasty, and the chicken pad thai was very flavorful. My companion seemed to enjoy his meal, too. Not a bad deal for Rye! One quibble: they charged me for both glasses of club soda I had, which is always a pet peeve. But the decor *is* nice, as others have noted, and ultimately this is one I'd recommend for anyone looking for a decent meal in Westchester. Probably deserves 3.5 stars, but I rounded up to 4. read more

Water Moon - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rye, New York

Had takeout from here the other day, it was amazing! Great menu and very reasonable prices! Will be coming back!

I visited Water Moon a few times in the past but my last visit for lunch completely won me over. I ordered the lunch special which consisted of miso soup and your choice of 2 rolls. I decided to get my usual shrimp tempura and tried the spicy crunchy salmon. I'm not sure if it was just because this was my first meal of the day but the sushi tasted amazing and was just the right amount to fill me without feeling stuffed. I definitely will be visiting again for lunch. If you're in the area definitely stop by water moon. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great food and service! First time here with the family and everyone seems to like what they've order. Very fare price for the quality of the food. Got there at 9pm and they were very friendly and ready to make you anything you ask from the menu. They close at 930 but they never rush us to leave. read more

The food was great, the prices were fair. However, I strongly advise everyone NOT to dine at water moon. After an evening of below average service in an empty restaurant, the crafty waitress attempted to take advantage of me and my teenage friends. She decided to tack on a steep gratuity fee that was not disclosed to us ahead of time. We were initially in shock, but came to the conclusion that it must be policy; we figured we misunderstood or did not see on the menu. On our w-out, we checked with the hostess to confirm the gratuity was not a mistake. After asking, she hesitated for several seconds and gave us a shaky "yes". Unconvinced, my friends and I asked other patrons - they revealed to us they were not charged this additional fee. I will never return to water moon and neither should you. DO NOT ATTEND THIS RESTAURANT THAT DISCRIMINATES BASED ON AGE AND LIES TO THEIR PATRONS. read more

Will not order from here again. When I order tempura shrimp I expect it to be ummm tempura not the same as the order for my friend which was Crispy Walnut and Prawn Chicken, both our shrimp was panko crumbed and had same sweet sauce - overall fail in terms of food quality and actual order, don't bother, plenty of better places to get Asian in this area that care about quality and food. Sorry I gave them a chance, back to GinBan, Red Plum or pretty much anyone else. Neither of us finished out meals, too sticky, too sweet and for me not tempura at all. Thankfully Seamless came through, and sent a coupon for the restaurants mess which after looking at the pics for the dishes said "so sorry"! read more

Oh please save your money if you are looking to actually eat here. I gave it two stars only for the decor and location. I ate here a few times about a year ago and after having bad experiences I declined to return. But a few weeks ago I decided to give it another chance. Not only was the service abyssmal but the food was barely edible. I predict this place won't be around for much more than a year or so. I hope it gets replaced with a really good gourmet Chinese restuarant, which Westchester is sorely in need of. FYI, this is one of those places in the suburbs where parents bring their screaming kids. You might at well call this place Applebee's. read more

I ate at Watermoon last night with my husband and my gay husband. We had a very good meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the wine bottle specials. We were able to grab a bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc for under $20. They also had a decent pre-fix menu of three courses for $20. The Dim Sum was pretty yummy, too. Service was quick and friendly. My lasting impression was that Watermoon was a glorified Chinese restaurant with an above average menu and atmosphere. For the prices and food quality, I would return again in lieu of neighborhood Chinese take-out. I just wasn't blown away. read more

Eh, Good but not great. Nice inside dining in downtown Rye, but high priced fancy oriental, which is tough to pull off (for me anyway.) I would just as well get sushi from a block away at Japanese place near the post office (Koo), get Chinese food from of of the many take-out places, or dine in anywhere else on purchase st. I don't think there will ever be a fit for me to go there again, not because it isn't good, just because there will always be somewhere else that will be a better fit. read more

I enjoyed Water Moon even from the moment I first stepped in the door. They've got this big wall with water flowing down it...it's a pretty awesome sight. Then there was the food. I ordered sushi for lunch: spicy tuna roll, eel roll, and salmon roll. They were good, though not amazing. The hot & sour soup was tasty, had a good amount of spice, and was vegetarian as well (normally places put some pork in there). The appetizers were tasty too. Water Moon lost a star, however, for committing one of my biggest pet peeves. The waiter told me I could not substitute the Miso soup that came with my meal for Hot & Sour instead. Yes, I realize one costs more than the other...and the waiter should have warned me about that. I was willing to pay the difference. Instead, he just said "no, it can't be done." After I argued a little bit (and told him I was willing to pay the difference) he caved, but wasn't happy about it. The rest of the experience was positive. Four stars, well deserved. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this review 1. As I walked to the restroom noticed that the bartender tasted the same cocktail twice with the SAME STRAW! He ended up throwing out a portion of the drink & replacing it with water. 2. Waiters brought us lukewarm water. We originally asked for tea. They said they were out. 3. Ordered rib appetizers. They were undercooked & extremely fatty. 4. Waiters were very inattentive during entire meal. 5. Wonton Soup tasted bland. Noodles tasted undercooked. Fried rice was insipid. Lo Mein too greasy. Pad Thai was eh. 6. Weren't asked if we wanted dessert. By then we had had enough anyway. 7. P.S. even their fortune cookies were stale! read more

I've been to Water Moon a few times, and I've never been disappointed. The best appetizer on the menu is the calamari salad with a lime vinaigrette. YUM! The seared sesame tuna with soba noodles and a wasabi dressing is their most popular entree and it is delicious. Only downside...it's very loud...not ideal for a first date. read more

I have been here on numerous occasions and have never had a bad experience and it is very reasonable! I agree about the calamari/lime salad. It is very good. The decor inside is really cool. It does get loud. read more

Been there twice already and both times the food as been really really good. I am in LOVE with their dumplings! Id suggest munching on those while waiting for your food! Drinks are okay too. Only reason im not giving this a 5 star review is because the staff tend to hover while youre looking at the menu, or while youre eating. In addition, they bring the check wayyy too early. I wasnt even remotely done with my food, and was simply chatting for a moment (although they seemed done with their food), and the waitress came with a check that was already printed who knows how long ago! On both occasions that I've been there, they have brought before my boyfriend and I could get one or two more drinks in! read more

I ordered take out last week and was just really disappointed. I chose the Thai crab rolls and general tso chicken. The crab rolls came with some kind of pineapple salsa and had a ton of shell inside. The salsa made them incredibly soggy and unappetizing. The general tso chicken was really tough and had no spice whatsoever. Maybe it was an off day? I would try again in the restaurant, but definitely not for take out. read more

My husband and I both really liked Water Moon the prices were actually on par with the other sushi places around and the atmosphere is much nicer. They have a ton of vegan/vegetarian friendly options so it's a great place to go if you are looking for that or have a mixed group. We will definitely be back again! read more
