Next time in the area, this will be a "go to" restaurant. Not big on soup, but the prawns, and chicken dishes were killer! Fried rice a great compliment to the dishes and their sauces. Price was in line.

We have been there a number of times, sometimes with visitors. The food is high quality and always tasty. The special appetizers are a bit overpriced. The ambience isn't great and I advise a reservation. The service is good.

We have been coming to this family owned restaurant for 20+ years and are terribly angry and disappointed about our last 2 visits. They recently made a big mistake and changed the size of their shrimp used in their dinner entrées from LARGE, to SMALL....The original owners have retired, and their children have taken over operating the restaurant. Hopefully they will see this review and re-think their decision before losing too many more customers.More

Honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had! Incredible staff also. From the moment we walked in until we left we felt welcomed and appreciated. Absolutely loved our evening for dinner. Will certainly be back! Thank you China Moon!

After a little absence we decided to have a lunch at this once superb eatery. How disappointing the meal was beginning with the below average warm Hot N Sour soup used to be a real winner. We ordered 2 spicey dishes and they were beyond...bland. What has happened to this place and they even increased the price $2 to $3. Sorry to say that PF Chang is much better. I am thinking they must have sold? Not worth the trip anymore.More

Have been dinning here for 22 years. The quality of food is excellent. It is Family operated and they do a great job with service excellence. The food is prepared to order and they do a terrific job and a fair price. A great ambiance...and cleanliness is a priority. I think that you will go back, again and again.More

This place is a hidden gem... literally. It took me awhile to find it off of Crown Valley Parkway and Alicia (it's next door to DeNault's hardware store). We made reservations for a Friday night and this place was hopping. My husband noticed a lot...of people lining up for to-go- orders--that is a very good sign for Asian restaurants. The wine offerings were nice. I had Sonoma Cutrer chardonnay, which is a very good bottle of wine, and not something you would normally see at a Chinese restaurant. Our waitress Lucy was extremely charming. We loved her stories from "back home" and she made some great suggestions. We ordered the following: Salt and pepper calimari (tender as my heart and delish!), Dumplings and Potstickers. The latter two were also outstanding. Potstickers were fried perfectly and my husband declared that the dumplings were the best he's ever had. We also ordered Mongolian beef, Roast Duck and BBQ pork fried rice. OK, let's talk about that duck. OMG.... that crispy skin sent me to the moon! Thanks Lucy, for suggesting it. The Mongolian beef was also very good and the fried rice I loved-- it was not too salty and tasted VERY fresh. Food was very, very good! Overall, this place gets five stars. The owner Jonathan (his parents were the original owners but they retired) came over to our table to introduce himself and was so genuine and nice.More

Crunchy noodles with hot mustard and sweet sauce. Add the delicious egg drop soup, cashew chicken and hot tea, and there is no better way to spend a rainy day in Southern California.

For me not enough spicy to cut the sweetness of their orange peel chicken. Give them kudos however for nice crispiness. Some palates may like this version but I am used to the contrast of spice to sweet. Generous portion and love that they had...brown rice. Other tastes were a bit bland except the honey walnut shrimp was great. Wish I had ordered that! Service was slow and not very friendly but she did check back which I appreciate. For me too far to draw me backMore
