Been eating here for years, the place may be under new management, but the Mexican food is still the same. My one gripe with the restaurant is the lack of quality napkins, your only given one and the napkins are subpar. but everything else is amazing.

I don't doubt that this is a good place to go for drinks, but if you're coming here for food, I would consider going somewhere else. My $20 chicken fajita sandwich was so bland in flavor that I thought I could have gotten something better at Jersey Mikes or Subway for a fraction of the cost. I do apologize for being a bit scathing, but in general, if you charge as much as you charge for food, you should really be sure the customer is getting something good. The Mexican corn appetizer was also the most unseasoned version of elote or Mexican street corn ive gotten anywhere. It's such a shame too because there are so many tasty Latin flavors out there and all of them were missing at this restaurant. The manager walking around checking on us was very attentive and kind, but I'd recommend charging less or improving the quality.

I love the new changes, they really brought it back to life again, the food is great, the service outstanding. The new Aki addition along with the owner James is fantastic.
Great friendly staff
It's always service with a smile
Good tasty food
Guacamole needs to improve and more qty
Consider serving and preparing at table in ceramic deep stone dish for a better taste

Mexican or Japanese… which will it be?
Can’t decide, that’s okay… have a little of both!!
Parking: As most towns… parking availability depends on timing. You’ll always find a place to park, it may just end up being further away from the restaurant and It’s free after 6pm and on Sundays

I ordered 3 meals from this place. Chicken fajitas, and two orders of the chicken burrito (double combination). My meal was the chicken fajitas, and once I started eating and cutting up my chicken, it was bloody still in many areas. I had already ate some until I realized and was completely disgusted. Had to check the other meals I ordered to make sure it was cooked all the way and one of the people who ate the meal got food poisoning. I called this place to tell them what had happened and they weren’t going to do anything but issue me credit. I had to yell and scream and tell him if somebody got sick, that they would be hearing from again, they quickly gave me a refund. I had to literally argue with a manager about undercooked food and the other too were not prepared properly either and it wasn’t noticed until the food was starting to be consumed. This place is horrible! I will never return here. BEWARE!!!

Service was very good. The food was just pretty good, not the best I ever had but definitely not bad by any means.

I ve been to the mexican side of the restaurand but it also has a cinese side. Chicken fajitas were super delicious with tasty sauces. Fun to stay outside watching people go by. Portions are big, service very friendly even if they missed the silverware (fixed very quickly) and the menu cards where worn out

This place used to be so good. But since they sold it and it has become this, it is really just awful. The service stinks, the food is like they are rationing for soldiers or something. They are really cheap, the food quality is so much worse, and they really the last salad i ordered had 4 pieces of chicken on it and only lettuce and half of the salad was just some brown liquid I guess grease from the four pieces of chicken. Never again.

Very beautiful Japanese spot, They know my wife's order without even taking it. Rock shrimp with a French martini. A must have.

I used to go to Blue Moon and loved it. I stopped going when I stopped working in the area but yesterday after my sons baseball game I decided to go and realized it was a different place. I figured let’s give it a try, well that idea backfired. We got seated right away and after waiting over 20 minutes for a server I ended up going to the host stand to ask if they had any servers to which a lady at the front desk moved quickly and got us someone. The server comes and takes our drink order and as I’m trying to tell her that we will order food too she walks away ??♀️. We said ok and continued to be patient. I wanted to really like this place but after dinner my son and I started feeling sick. Than my husband. We all had different meals with the only common shared item being the chips and guacamole. My son is home sick from school and both my husband and I feel awful. Be careful with this place. Music and vibe were good so looks like a fun place to go for a few drinks but dinner is questionable.
