Average atmosphere for Chinese take-our place. Not fancy and not horrible. Just plain. If I could have graded the food BELOW one star, I would have. I questioned the man at the register, about my order, before I left, to make sure I got the correct items I ordered. I ordered SPRING ROLLS (4 of them, price was $6.00 for 4). Expecting a nice crunchy exterior, with shredded cabbage, grated carrots and maybe some ground pork, I got a mouth full of mushy rice. And, the light, crisp exterior I expected, was thick and tough, like the dough had been worked too long. But, truthfully, the lack of crunchy vegetables was such a put-off. I took 2 bites of one egg roll, and am sitting here looking at 3 1/2 egg rolls going into the trash. I ordered Tung Ting Shrimp for my entree. It is described on the menu as shrimp with tiny corn cob, broccoli and straw mushrooms in a white wine, egg white sauce. When I opened my entree, I immediately noticed that it was covered in white "stuff" that looks like egg white slime that is not cooked thoroughly. I absolutely LOVE shrimp, but when it is covered in slime, it is instantly off-putting, and I cannot eat it. I raked the white stuff off one piece of shrimp, ate HALF of one piece, and could not stomach anymore. Also, there was literally 2-3 small corn cob in the entire order, regular mushrooms, cut into quarters (NOT straw, as in the description), and massive pieces of bell pepper, which is not mentioned in the description. If the bell peppers had been mentioned, I would have asked them to omit them, because I do not eat bell peppers. Finally, the crunchy noodles that they give you, with your soup? They are not even like they have been in the past, or at other Chinese restaurants. They were not thin and crunchy. They were thick and cut into triangles (like little Doritos) and were not fried like usual. They were tasteless, and obviously rolled out, shaped, cut, and baked not fried.
Out of a $30.00 order, I ate 2 bites of mushy rice inside a sad spring roll, and 1 bite of slimy shrimp. I did, actually eat my fried rice, (which was firm rice, and not mushy like in the spring roll) and I drank my canned Coca-Cola.
I have gone to China Moon for at least 10 years, but tonight will be the very last time I will visit them. I will spend my gas money and meal money and travel to Meteor Buffet in North Huntsville, or literally ANY OTHER CHINESE RESTAURANTA, before I set foot in China Moon, again. I was literally ripped off $25.00, of my $30.00 meal!
I hope you can see the egg white "slime" on my meal. And, I took a photo of my "supposedly" thin, crunchy soup crackers.
