The food was decent but the portion size of the egg drop soup was too small. Also, I was charged $2.50 for a 12oz can of Sprite…

Love August Moon. My family has been coming here since I was a kid and it's still my favorite place. Crispy cheese wontons full of filling, delicious fresh sushi, the egg drop soup is one of the best I've had and the sesame tofu was delicious as well! It's a great spot!

The August Moon Asian Grill, unfortunately, became synonymous with bad business practices that ultimately led to its closure. The restaurant, which initially aimed to serve Asian food, took an unconventional path to profitability by engaging in the towing of customers' cars. This practice not only tarnished the establishment's reputation but also had significant consequences for its financial viability.One of the most egregious aspects of the August Moon's operation was the systematic towing of customers' vehicles. Visitors who parked near the restaurant, either during the day or night, were at risk of having their cars towed away. This predatory approach caused immense frustration and anger among patrons, who expected a pleasant dining experience rather than an unexpected and costly tow.The motivation behind this unscrupulous strategy was simple: profit. The owner of the August Moon saw an opportunity to make quick money by charging exorbitant fees for releasing towed vehicles. Towing fees often amounted to $400 or more, which proved to be a lucrative revenue stream for the establishment. However, this came at the expense of customer trust and satisfaction, leading to a steady decline in patronage.As the negative publicity surrounding the August Moon Asian Grill's business practices grew, word of mouth spread like wildfire. People began to avoid parking anywhere near the restaurant, leading to a significant drop in foot traffic. Regular customers turned away, and newcomers were deterred from trying the cuisine due to the fear of falling victim to the towing racket.Ultimately, the relentless pursuit of profits through towing customers' cars had disastrous consequences for the August Moon Asian Grill. The once-promising restaurant was forced to close its doors due to a severe decline in business, leaving behind a trail of resentment from those who had fallen victim to its unethical practices.In summary, the August Moon Asian Grill's decision to tow customers' vehicles for profit was a textbook example of bad business practices. While it may have temporarily generated revenue, it eroded the trust and goodwill of its patrons, ultimately leading to the restaurant's demise. The cautionary tale of the August Moon serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ethical and customer-centric business practices in building a sustainable and reputable establishment.The owner of the August Moon Asian Grill faced public exposure in the local newspaper due to his malpractices, particularly the predatory towing of customers' cars. The article highlighted these unethical actions, shedding light on the negative impact they had on the restaurant's reputation and business, resulting in widespread community backlash.

We came to try August Moon but went for a walk around the complex to check it out! Before we got in , the owner had me towed. Empty parking lot with 2/5 business closed. 600 dollars. Beware! We were excited to try August moon, but never got a chance too! We parked in front of a closed business with no signage to “not walk around”Unfortunately I’m kind ownership. Lack of community. I hope their food is good!

Can't believe it took me so long to try this place. The food is really good! Best Chinese food I've found in Colorado so far. They have the usual American Chinese favorites, plus some additions that are hard to find, like sizzling rice wonton soup loaded with wontons and vegetables! Nice big restaurant, portions are good size, staff is friendly, and prices are good! Would recommend and will return!

We came here after I had received a recommendation. The atmosphere is bright and clean. I enjoyed my orange chicken but my guy wished that his lemon pepper chicken had been breaded the same way. Prices were in keeping with other places. If I wanted to have a big group this would be a perfect place! Also appreciate that they are up front with the 4% card fee.
Parking: The parking lot is designed kinda weird so I parked by the army recruiting by mistake. If you aren’t eating here (based on other reviews I saw after) you’d better not park here.

Excellent Hot Sour Soup and Chicken LoMein. Very accommodating, I asked for spicy LoMein and was not disappointed. Definitely will return over and over. Very attentive server, give it a try.

My family and I eat at August Moon at least once a month. My daughter loves the sesame chicken and I'm a big fan of the mushu pork. the wonton soup is a high hit with the family. Whenever we get food to go the service and order accuracy is excellent. There is plenty of parking for dine in as well. This is the best Chinese restaurant in Parker
Kid-friendliness: Fun Japanese sodas for the kids.
They towed my car in the middle of a work lunch. Had to call an Uber to get my colleagues back to work. Sign never said August Moon parking. Was literally in an empty parking lot, and was in the spot for less than 1 hour. The business must be making more money on the towing than the food. Cost over $300 to get my car back. What pitiful neighbors. Apparently they never heard of the concept of foot traffic. Sad!

We’ve been going to August Moon—dining in and carry-out—for more than 20 years and have never had any complaints. Delicious food, excellent, attentive service. But it seems that entitled people don’t like being told they can’t park in August Moon’s parking lot without eating there so they feel the need to leave ridiculous reviews about the restaurant. The parking signs are INCREDIBLY obvious so anyone who parks illegally in the August Moon lot absolutely should be towed. And guess what? It doesn’t matter if the lot is empty or not. It would be like me parking in your driveway. “But you weren’t parking there!” Better to complain that the surrounding businesses don’t have enough parking—not that August Moon does.

Terrible management, be careful your car will get towed and cost $310 to reclaim it. Unfriendly and predatory behavior towards neighbors.

Excellent food and service. Best hot and sour soup we have ever had. Very accomodating and will modify dishes as per requests. We have never been disappointed. Sadly, August Moon gets bad reviews from people who illegally park in their parking lot. Take bad reviews with the proverbial grain of salt. They probably have an axe to grind.

we love this place so much, we eat here regularly, whether it is take-out or dine-in. the staff is SO friendly, so kind to my daughter who just wants to see the fish they have in the little pond in the restaurant. they always make our visit special and we are lucky to live so close to eat here often. (i find it absurd that people give negative reviews because they get towed - reading comprehension is fundamental when parking your car on someone else’s property.)
