I hadn’t been to New Moon in ages. I used to go whenever I was in LA on business and just fell out of the habit. Well, I’m back in the habit! \nThe Chinese chicken salad and the green beans with hoisin sauce are to die for!\nThe portions are generous so there’s plenty for dinner or tomorrow’s lunch too. The staff is kind and efficient.\nIt’s not a fancy place but it is a delicious place!!
