Main Moon

Chicken is very over cooked for the general toas. Some people may prefer that but not when u have teeth issue. I can say the sauce they use is very good and the chicken is covered in the sauce, better than some places.

This is the BEST Chinese food. Please do yourself a favor and make sure you try Main Moon if you are in the area. I’ve had ALOT of different Chinese food Spots and this one is a sleeper, making it even better. The rice is delicious, the Chicken & Brocolli, Boneless Spare Ribs & The General Tso’s is the PERFECT spicy. I moved to Wappingers falls & I will be making the drive to pick up food.

Food is great for me. Like my high school friends restaurant in White Plains,in the 70's.

Good food, had the wonton soup and chicken and broccoli, both were delicious. Highly recommend this for a Chinese takeout spot.

Having moved from Poughkeepsie to North Carolina 6 years ago Main Moon was my go-to when I lived in Poughkeepsie so I'm in town for a visit and of course this is the first place I went the food is absolutely delicious took a little while to wait on our order but it was worth it

Ordered sesame chicken combination was like rubber way. Overcooked then went to return it and the lady gave us a hard time saying that's how it should be. It was absolutely disgusting

Best Chinese food in Poughkeepsie

Amazing food. Yes they are pricey but their food is delicious. I highly recommend their chicken and broccoli, hot and sour soup, lo mein and pork fried rice. 🤤

We stopped in for lunch during the week. I ordered chicken and broccoli off of the lunch menu and requested it be made spicy. The food prep time was pretty standard and really didn't take long at all. Keep in mind, if you're looking to pay with a card then there's a $10 minimum. The food itself was just really basic. It wasn't my favorite place for take out honestly. I've had some pretty decent take out and I just felt like this was just okay. The flavors were just decent. The portion was pretty standard. Overall, okay for a quick bite but left much to be desired. Probably won't stop in again unless I really need to.

Our whole family gets Chinese food here at least twice a week. The owners are extremely hard working people and the food Is always hot and great. When you call she Recognizes my voice and knows exactly what we want. This Restraunt is always spotless even for the tremendous business they have. We love main moon the best around

At first was really happy with this place. Everything tasted great. Until I broke a very good tooth on General Taos chicken. A lot of the pieces were hollow. Very hard. Not only split my tooth bruised my gum. Dentist couldn't believe it. Now I lost a healthy tooth and I have a dentist bill. Not to mention replacement. Too bad, the people are very nice there. But that should never have happened. Cost me a lot of money & pain.

Very bland and underwhelming food. When I went to pick up my order, they wouldn't take my credit card unless it was a $20 minimum order not $10 as other have reported. Seriously!?!?. One less customer they'll be having. If I want mediocre Chinese takeout there's many other options in the area.

The food here is pretty good. I used to come here over a decade ago, and I feel they've improved from what I remember - and my palate has way more experience now lol. I should also add, we don't order anything super fancy, so this review may be "basic!" My mother and I try to limit meat in our diet, so we ordered the sautéed broccoli, which is basically the chicken or shrimp and broccoli without the chicken/shrimp. Others ordered fried chicken wings, crab Rangoon, and shrimp & broccoli combo. We picked up our food and it was hot and fresh. The woman at the counter was very friendly. The broccoli dish was delish, though I wish there was more sauce on it and a little less oil. The chicken was tasty and looked pretty! The crab Rangoon was good as well. We had leftover for lunch the next day. Main moon is overall and average takeout experience, and will probably visit again in the future.

You don't get a second chance at a first impression. I went to this place once about two years ago. The lo mein was luke warm at best. The egg rolls were cold and the dumplings were some of the worst I had in a while. I'll never go there again. It's a waste of money.

Best general tso's chicken in all of Poughkeepsie & Dutchess county. Of any Chinese Restaurant I have been to, this food beats all by miles. My family has been eating here for around 10 years and we won't be stopping any time soon.

This is an okay Chinese Place. I tend to just get chicken wings and fries lol. Not really chinese huh? I know I know. Either or. I have had the general tsos chicken and fried rice as well. But it was really not that good to me. The chicken wings here are really good though. They have a nice flavor to them. They tend to be really busy on friday nights, so just keep that in mind if you try to place a phone order. They might tell you 15 minutes, when it could actually turn in 40 minutes. Only speaking from experience. All in all. Decent Chinese spot.

Previously main moon has been hit or miss but the last 2 times it has been super fresh and delicious! With good size portions now that they got the new containers. Keep up the good job main moon!

One of the few Chinese places open during COVID-19-a-thon. Fairly standard takeout Chinese food: average-sized portions, prices, taste.

We eat here all the time the woman who answers the phone is so nice I don't know how she does it but when I call she knows it's us so when we get there she has all the extra's we would ask for all ready in the bag ( tea bags, sauces, hot oil) she doesn't ask you for your phone number nothing & because we go there all the time she will give us extra things in the bag it's very nice of her. The food is great you get a lot of it to. We have ordered a lot of different things & it's all really good. We drive from pleasant valley to there because we are that happy with main moon.

I've only been to Main Moon as far as Poughkeepsie Chinese food goes, so I can't really compare them to anyone else in the area. The portion sizes are good and the prices are pretty in line with most of the other Chinese restaurants I've been to in other areas. My biggest problem I encountered on our visit was with the Fried Rice. We all got Combination Platters and while the chicken dishes we ordered were on point, the Shrimp fried rice lacked significant flavor. It also seemed like the shrimp was going bad, too. It had a strong fish smell to it and it just wasn't appealing, so while we all ate our main dish, we all tossed the rice. The other disappointing thing (at least for me) was that my General Tso's Chicken did not come with broccoli. There were some vegetables with it, but no broccoli. Traditionally you get the chicken and broccoli in the sauce and the broccoli tends to be one of my favorite parts of the dish. The flavor and chicken were good, but I definitely missed the broccoli. I'm sure we might be back in the future, but I can't say at this point that this will end up being our go-to Chinese spot.

If I could give this less than one star, I would. The food was awful, they wouldn't let me pay the way I wanted AND they wouldn't even cook what I wanted! They said what I wanted would take 20 minutes, and they could do something similar instead. Even after I said I'd wait, they STILL insisted on cooking the alternative option. And they weren't friendly at all. Even the atmosphere was awful - another customer got nasty with me when I was talking to the owners about my preferred payment method. Like... butt out, dude? So yeah. I went there once, never again.

Ordered take out for Christmas Eve dinner. Soup, appetizers and meals. Everything was delicious! Good size portions. Definitely going to order from here again!

I've been ordering from them for years. The owners are lovely people. The food is great and the portions are very good for the price. I highly recommend!
