Full Moon Mandarin Cuisine

Absolutely fantastic! Full Moon is just the spot that Alvarado Street needs. The menu was loaded with classic and traditional dishes. We found ourselves enjoying a bowl of hot and sour soup with a side of spicy sauce wantons! It went perfect with a few cups of green tea. To bring everything together we had the Szechuan scallops. Can't get enough of there wood ear mushrooms. 🍄 The service was very professional and we felt cared for throughout our meal. Will be returning soon to try more extravagant dishes.

I thought I'd eaten at all the good Chinese places around Monterey over the last 30 years but somehow I had missed this place. The lunch special is a fantastic deal at the price (I can't think of as good a deal anywhere downtown). The food is excellent, and the service is quick and very friendly.

Can’t beat the price! We got lunch specials and they were pretty good. Soup was bland but the salad and egg rolls were perfect. We loved the Mongolian beef and the noddles were good too. My Thai tea was prettt weak but not terrible. The service was great, super helpful and kind you can tell the restaurant was a little run down, ripped booths, sticky tables, etc… but overall it was good food for a great price

Great food, great service. Food was very fresh and not overly oily like a lot of Chinese restaurants. Highly recommend the wontons in spicy sauce!

Local art displayed on the wall for sale, calming instrumental music, and perfectly flavored food. I ordered the onion beef. Sweet and savory! Nicholas was my waiter and did a phenomenal job taking care of me.

We’re visiting and love Chinese food. Best pot stickers we’ve ever had. The Mu-Shu pork was so delicious and the Kungpo Chicken didn’t disassemble. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Terrific Asian restaurant. My favorite is the chicken fried rice. The spring rolls and potstickers are also good. A cozy little family owned restaurant in downtown Monterey. Like ALL better restaurants, there is NO surcharge for using a credit card. Parking can sometimes be a small challenge, I found out when I was in there that they have more parking behind the building also. Only negative, you have to bring your own Cokes. They have some kind of a Coke substitute there. Pro tip, eat with chopsticks, not a fork. Highly recommended.

Nice location at the downtown. Good food with reasonable prices! We order dishes and a fried rice, which was more than 3 adults can eat! Strongly recommended it!

Food is way below average, service is zero

We entered based on the amount of local chinese people eating there and we were not disappointed. Everything was absolutely delicious (extra points for the sesame chicken, you can tune the spice level!), the staff were friendly and the service fast. 10/10

Had delicious food, great service & lovely conversation with the owners as my son is learning Chinese. Would definitely return.

Food was not good, no flavor, no need to go back
