Main Moon Chinese Restaurant

I stopped to pick up food to take to my mom's on Christmas. I put a note asking the food to be ready later as it would take a while before I got there. The food was ready and hot. The owner (I'm assuming) was so nice and gave me an extra egg roll and some candies before I left. The food was yummy but I felt like the genuinely warm interaction I had when I got there is more reason to pick something up next time I'm in the area.

When I moved to Simsbury in 1987, Main Moon was the only Chinese Restaurant in my area. Within a few years, the local area exploded with Asian Fusion Restaurants, that included higher end Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Korean options on their menus.

I joined Yelp in 2012, and by then Main Moon had been left in the dust by the ever-expanding lineup of Pan Asian and Asian Fusion restaurants. So, when I first reviewed Main Moon back in 2012, I wasn't too kind to them, because their traditional menu items seemed old fashioned.

So perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia, I ordered takeout from Main

I was expecting much better, and I'd love to give main moon another shot because it's super close and conveniently located but the lo mein we ordered was a pile of plain soft noodles with not much flavor at all. The fried rice was ok but not barely any pork or the other staple ingredients inside. We could have jazzed it up at home but was not up for it this time.

The best Chinese takeout in the area! The food is delicious (I highly recommend the broccoli in garlic sauce), the order is always correct, the price is reasonable and the online ordering is easy. Everybody who works there is always super-nice. After years of being disappointed with the local Chinese restaurants, I've finally found a place I want to go back to!

Absolutely excellent. Such nice workers and fast and the food is absolutely delicious. Also when you ask for something to be spicy they actually make it spicy!! I've asked for food to be spicy at a bunch of other Chinese food places and it never is. This places food is SO good!! You will NOT regret ordering food from here. :-)

Two words : FOOD POISONING
I've ordered from this place twice & both times I got food poisoning. Not sure what's going on in that kitchen but something is not being handled right. Both times ended in me having to call out of work for several days & almost becoming dehydrated. Will never be going back here & or recommending to anyone .

Their food is pretty good. They recently imposed a min of $35 for home deliveries, and called me back to add to my $32 order which was a bit obnoxious. We also waited 45 minutes behind their 45 min delivery time.

This restaurant made me throw up the last night I order food from them I never again yucky

I have been going here 2-3 times a month for 5 years. The food is consistent in quality. It's not upscale Chinese food, it's the standards, delivered on a timely basis. I've special ordered a few times, like asking for a specific mix of vegetables combined with specific sauces, no problem.

Never had a problem with the people at the register, including the young boy in the family. He adds atmosphere, and is friendly and inquisitive. People who complain about his (and their) style of service really should be going to a chain restaurant, where mgmnt beats the personality of the

My shrimp and broccoli was a bit sweet, but general Tsos chicken was not bad. My son only eats egg rolls and didn't complain.

This is your average fast food Chinese. We honestly only order from here because it's fast and close, except delivery could be faster. The foods decent and the staff is great. They woman always at the register is cute and funny. She offers the kids these Asian candies and they love it! I'm giving it a 4 star because I've never been disappointed, it's the closest and I still haven't found one better by me.

I usually stop here to pickup some fast Chinese food if I'm trying to be economical. The food is usually decent but yesterday I ordered delivery for the first time and it made me ill. My stomach is still woozy today. Not sure exactly what did it but the vegetable dumplings that were apart of the dumplings combination app tasted a little wacky. I will probably go back when I need another fast cheap bite to eat but I hope they read this and be more careful when they are preparing the food. If you want to pay a little more and avoid my expirience all together try Meadow down the street.

This is my favorite kind of take out cheap and good. The family that runs the place has always been so kind to me when I've come in to order. They're are always willing to provide me with advice on what I should get and how much of it I would need for a family of four.

One of the lessons that I've learned is what another reviewer took note of. That when you order the food online it takes way to long even if you go and pick it up. Delivery is a crap shoot and I feel that's the case for just about any where. When I asked why it takes so long, they stated they they use a third

From the Yelp reviews, I really was expecting something more. But alas, it's just a very standard takeout place.

If the usual Chinese fare is up your alley, then you'll be happy here. It's all the usual suspects cooked in the exact way at other such takeout places.

But it just isn't all that great. The egg roll was super greasy with oil glopped at the bottom of the bag. The hot & sour soup was thick but filled with way too much tofu and unidentified vegetables. And the hunan chicken was hardly spicy. At all.

Sigh. If you just want quick Chinese - this is fine. But

Let's start with the most important part of the review...the food. Its EXCELLENT! We've been here several times now and every time it's been perfect. The chicken wings are awesome (always crispy and light). The wontons are hand made. The lunch specials are HUGE for only $5.95 - $6.95. The veggies are steamed and never overcooked. Every dish has been great and everything is priced so you don't break the bank.

There's plenty of parking in front and on the street in front and side. Great part of town as well (right in the heart of Simsbury). Make sure to ask for Leo

First time to visit for me and it won't be the last! Everything was spectacular. I got the pork fried rice with ckn wings. My husband ordered general Tso's ckn it it was amazing!!! The best ckn wings I've ever eaten!!! The prices are phenomenal. So happy to know this amazing restaurant is just down the street from us! I can't wait to try everything they have on the menu. I ordered a cup of the wonton soup as well and am so glad I did. This is my new go to for good eats! Everyone was super friendly, polite and prompt. See you next week!

Ordered delivery. I like that you can place the order directly online through their website. Very handy!
We ordered a soup, scallion pancakes, general tsaos chicken and tofu, and the crunchy noodles with sweet and sour sauce.
It wasn't the best Chinese food I ever ate, and definitely not the worst. I would order from here again on a lazy day when I don't want to leave the house!

With the right expectations, Main Moon is perfect for your cheap Chinese takeout needs. Even amongst the vaunted wealth of Simsbury Center, they do not price gouge here by any means; a big dinner for $8-10 a person is just as easily achieved here as most anywhere else.

For those that don't want to think too hard about what they want, they feature "Family Dinner Specials," multi-course combinations that will accommodate parties as small as two, and as large as, get this, NINE people.

It being New Year's Eve, my wife and I were definitely in low-brain-power mode, so we went
