It's been ages since I last dined at Moon Garden Restaurant in Liliha, and what really motivated me to come back here for a meal was a picture that my Yelp buddy - Tami C. had posted on Yelp. It was a picture of a Minute Chicken Cake Noodles with Choy Sum. Yes gangies, if you ever dined at Moon Garden Restaurant, they are known for their Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs (you must order it one day in advance)!!! How good are those Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs? Bruh, those ribs are broke da moufth ono!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb & say it's da BESTEST Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs that I've ever eaten!!! Unfortunately, Bruddah Fran no longer eats red meat or pork (old people problems, Lol!), so those deeeeeeeeeelicious Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs will have to go on da back burner. No worries, cuz da Moon Garden Restaurant makes other excellent dishes like - a Minute Chicken Cake Noodle dish! Came here with my friend Jennifer C., as she's a big noodle fan. I ordered my Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, & my friend ordered the Rice Noodles w/Preserved Vegetables & Meat. What can I say about the grub??? The Minute Chicken Cake Noodles was enjoyable, & very tasty! I was surprised that they used Chinese Cabbage with my dish, as I was expecting Choy Sum, but I guess they used whatever vegetable that was available that day. My friend Jennifer enjoyed her meal, and no complains from us, that's for sure! Service here was on point. If you decide to dine at Moon Garden Restaurant, the restaurant is on the smaller side, so I'm not sure if you should make reservations before coming here. There is free parking available just to the right of the building, as the parking lot is shared by other businesses.

Tasty food, good food/portions but super small dining area. 5 tables. Need to order the honey ribs the day before and the sweet and sour pork is one of the best.

Solid restaurant for Chinese food. My family just Devoured a pan of noodles and chicken, chow fun and clams! Enjoyed the soft while little crispy chicken. My sister loves clams and can eat an entire order by herself, we should've ordered two Easy to order, and pick up They have a parking lot, lots of parking available

We're very grateful to arrive here for take out lunch during inclement weather. Staff are very welcoming. Vibe reminds me of the gathering place to enjoy Cantonese cuisine. We ran into a familiar face, a businessman that decided to treat a few construction workers during lunch and he only had wonderful compliments to share about this restaurant. Our entrees remained intact and hot for half an hour drive home. We're over the moon for Beef Broccoli on Fried Rice and Minute Chicken with Crispy Noodle. My better half knows I'm very picky when consuming beef broccoli and fried rice. Thinly sliced marinated beef tasted tender and succulent. Broccoli cooked to perfection. Both ingredients combined with light sauce. This entree hit the spot in one bite. Moving forward, I won't hesitate to order and highly recommend beef broccoli from this restaurant. With just a few key ingredients, fried rice was quite tasty. Minute chicken pieces were very moist and tender. No bones. Minced, fresh garlic accompanied by light tasting sauce complemented minute chicken, tasty bok choy, and delicious, thin crispy noodles. Free parking behind inside the lot. We will consider dine in for a future visit.

Moon Garden Restaurant located on Vineyard Boulevard. A small family owned restaurant known to serve fresh flavorful food. They have an awesome assortment of signature dishes, some require preordering 24 hours in advance. We always order the Honey BBQ ribs an awesome Char Siu rib dish they serve that is a perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors. Other favorites include the Uhu prepared 2 ways, Lobster, Crab, Whole Fish to name just a few. They have ample free parking on the side and back of the restaurant. Dining area is small and cozy. The family is very friendly and accommodating. The Chefs in the kitchen use the freshest ingredients and deliver consistently great food. A definite must try for great Chinese cuisine.

If you are in the mood for great and delicious Chinese food go make your reservation at Moon Garden Restaurant on Vineyard Blvd. The food choices we have made since we were introduced to the place has been nothing but fantastic. Their order a day in advance bbq honey ribs, salt and pepper Dungeness crab are to die for. Get extravagant and order a poon choi for 10 of your favorite guests. We enjoy their diced melon soup to start off our dinners with. This place will never disappoint you. Service seems to be split between two brothers and mom, attentive and very cordial a dab of chinese spoken to hasten things to get done but not uncomfortable. As usual, hot tea at every meal. It's a small restaurant with big satisfying meals. Limited seatings and when they run out of chairs out come the colorful plastic stools. Powerful air conditioning on a hot day or evening and you know you're in a Chinese restaurant with the decor. Great place to have chinese food and ask for their son Alan to help you put you food selecting together.

Good, reliable, friendly service. Only 3 tables, but Sunday dinners not too crowded. Fried oysters and ribs are tasty and fresh.

I'm really glad that this restaurant survived the pandemic. I ate there this week, the first time in ages, and it seems to be thriving. It's a small restaurant, and by the time I left (around 8pm) the place was packed. The house specialty cake (crispy) noodles, sweet-sour pork and walnut shrimp were solid and satisfying. Their website menu is outdated; prices are generally $14.95-$15.95 per dish. Also, they don't serve alcohol any more.Service took some time. They're working hard and are probably understaffed, like so many businesses these days.

Moon Garden on Vineyard has always been our family favorite. Solid food and authentic Chinese comfort food favorites. Don’t be fooled, it looks small from the outside, but once inside you’ll see how busy they are. Be patient with the servers and be mindful English isn’t their first language.Parking: Small parking lot.
Moon Garden is always a family favorite of ours! If you are looking for a true and authentic Chinese banquet style experience, then this is it the place. Customer service is true to Chinese style, grumpy, no acknowledgement, non verbal. Just be patient and be mindful that English is their second language. Lots of delicious, Chinese comfort food. Tasty and authentic.

This place has a small private lot behind it. Once you park, you walk around and enter the restaurant. The store itself is very small, with very few tables. We happened to come right when they opened, so nobody was there yet and we just sat down. We ordered their BBQ pork, a plate of veggies, a steamed chicken, and this tofu-mushroom dish. Personally, I enjoyed pretty much everything that came out. Only thing I would say is that for the tofu-mushroom dish, the main component from the dish's actual name (which I'm blanking on) is the tofu. Yet there was hardly any tofu! I'm Chinese, so I've had my fair share of Chinese food. I like to try some Chinese food wherever I vacation to so that I can see how it measures up to the Chinese food in Los Angeles where I'm from. I'd say this is your typical Chinese restaurant - nothing particularly special but nothing to drag it down.

Great spot, we were craving cake noodles and they didn't disappoint!

This will still be my favorite Chinese place. Although business looks slower for them, which I think COVID has affected all Business. It's the closet reminder of my parents homemade Chinese food. My parents are currently in Vegas so I came here... Some old photo drop and new photos. We had the salted fish fried rice, Chinese broccoli (gai Lan) and drunken clams. I don't remember drunken clams being cold but it was still yummy.

This place is so far the best go to Chinese food for me. Service was great, even though we went during their lunch break. Only downside is they don't have beer or wine. But it's BYOB, so remember to bring your own!
