Main Moon

The last time I ordered from there was over a year ago. I ordered the chicken with cashew nuts combo with white rice, and a pint of hot and sour soup. The chicken dish was tasteless.
I decided I was never going to order from there again. The soup was pretty good though.
I had a craving yesterday for Chinese, so I decided to try it again. I don’t like spicy Chinese. This time I ordered the chicken with cashew nuts combo, just as it comes, with pork egg roll and pork fried rice, along with egg drop soup. I stopped by as a walk in. As usual the place was very busy, lots of foot traffic. I waited about 20 minutes. I was so disappointed! The chicken was bland again, so was the soup-​tasteless, thickened with something, maybe corn starch. I threw most of my order away, after trying to doctor it up with a jar of orange ginger sauce. Either they have cut corners, or they have cooks who don’t know how to cook. They also have different fortune cookies that make no sense and have misspellings.

Screaming at a customer and telling to order some place else when a customer trying to explain the address of a delivery. If you’re busy and you can’t handle it, close the shop and find yourself something else to do.

Decent food but OMG delivery is average over an hour !!! Pick up is ready in ¹⁰⁄₂₀ mins …

went back to MAIN MOON today (after hearing 3 more people got sick, probably from there) and told her we wanted our money back for the food and were not even asking for the day missed from work and lady got all nasty and told us don’t order from there anymore. not a problem. never again…

I feel so bad writing this. I have tried this Chinese food twice before a few years ago and it was awful. But then I decided to give it another chance a week or so ago. IT WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE. Honestly, buying it from the frozen food section would be WAY better. Flavorless general csao chicken. And egg drop soup was thickened somehow (corn starch?) and therefore weird consistency. Tried it anyway, and the flavor was awful. I threw everything away. I just don’t get why people eat their food. Perhaps they’ve never had good Chinese food to compare it to? I gave it one star because they deliver.

Main moon is your typical cheap greasy Chinese food. The place itself is not very nice but it seems nobody dines in it’s all take out or delivery. They always seem quite busy when I pick up my food. The food is tasty, when you get that craving for Chinese this place will satisfy. I have had the lo mein, general Tso’s chicken, dumplings, fried rice, won ton soup and they have all been good. Prices are good too and the food is ready quickly. It’s not super gourmet but this place is your typical Americanized Chinese food and I continue to come here when I want Chinese food in Geneva.

Summary: Main Moon is essentially what you’d expect it is upon first glance; a Chinese American fast food restaurant with low prices. Traditionally, these places are known for their low prices and subpar food, but I’m not sure I feel the same about Main Moon.
Price: Okay, so the prices are low. I feel that I ordered a General Tso’s Combo which includes a main entrée of General Tso’s chicken, a bed of Fried Rice, and an Eggroll for about $ 6.
Taste: Ultimately, Main Moon is a Chinese American fast food restaurant, but the food tastes good. The smell of it cooking is fantastic as well if you wait for it. I’ve had a couple different kinds of chicken here so far (General Tso’s, Sweet and Sour) and I enjoyed both. Sure, it’s fried food probably loaded with sodium, but it sure does taste good.
Atmosphere: The Dine-​In area leaves a bit to be desired, but let’s be honest, do you go to a Chinese place for a good sit-​down experience? That said, I’ve ate there before, and I wasn’t put off. The staff isn’t that fluent in English, but why does that matter? You’re there to eat. I will say though that the main guy that is always there is pretty awesome.
Overall: I give Main Moon a 4 based on their consistantly good service and slightly above average taste. It’s more or less your typical Chinese place, but it does what it needs to do right. Don’t go there if you’re expecting a great sit-​down experience or if you expect traditional Chinese food, it’s not that kind of place. But the kind of place that it is works just fine.

My bad… we did go back to Main Moon last night for take out and it was delicious. I think after being shut down by the fire department they have changed their attitude and it shows. The food was fresh and perfectly prepared and its super clean inside.
