Full Moon Mandarin Cuisine

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

An excellent Chinese cuisine place. The stuff was very friendly, service fast and the Chow Mein I ordered quite delicious.

We ordered from uber eats. Got the sesame chicken, orange chicken, walnut shrimp and beef chow mein, $80+ with delivery. I'm confident the prices are less if you order directly from the restaurant....uber eats upcharges a bit.

Regarding the food: Both of the chicken meals had very similar tastes. You wouldn't be able to tell which is sesame or orange. Chicken was a tad dry too. Shrimp walnut was a small portion and lacking taste. Nothing amazing to say on the Lo Mein meal, portion size was good. Lastly, no fortune cookies included 😔

Can't comment on service or atmosphere since we got delivery. Food was nothing to call home about, unfortunately!

Good lo mein, won tan soup was just ok, the chicken and broccoli had no sauce, and when we asked, we were told we had to order it separately?

Ordered door dash chicken and broccoli with rice and chow mein sides and a Thai tea. Didn’t receive either side, broccoli and chicken was essentially plain - no sauce, and the tea came in a plastic tub not even a cup! Very poor quality unfortunately.

I Deliver doordash and I have been in there many times and it always smells good . I'm from SF and love Asian foods. I have tried 5 places in the Monterey area since moving here, and they have been ok , only 1 has been excellent...tonight I tried Full Moon, and I have to scream out ...finally!!!! First of all I didn't check closing time and walked in right on the dot at closing wanting to be seated. The people there very sweetly explained that they were closed but I could order something from takeout. I order the house Chow mein and spring rolls. Omg this is what it is supposed to taste like. The perfect amount of spice and flavor, the noodles and meats all perfect the sauce is almost creamy and has real pieces of vegetables. So good; The spring rolls too!!! Light and crispy and flavor full with nice pieces of everything inside. And the prices are great. A little less than most In The area. But what stood out to me the most was, they looks exhausted from the day and eager to go home but they served me with a smile and were very gracious while I waited. I really felt like I was in a nice restaurant, and it felt like a dining experience, and I didn't even dine in. I am very pleased and will be back!!!
