Moon Palace Express

Chinese restaurant · South Loop

"Moon Palace Express is a family-owned takeout specialist that was recently revamped. In the back, the team has added cocktail spot Nine Bar, a sleek lounge with a tremendous bar bite menu. The 1-2 punch of Moon Palace’s kung pao chicken and Nine Bar’s fun drinks is tough to beat." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
