Main Moon Chinese Kitchen

Sadly there really are no other good Asian Restaurants in the valley, actually within a 50 mile radius. Main Moon has become a favorite for us because of the affordable prices and the Hot and Spicy chicken! I love knowing that they will always have the favorites and have new selections on occasion.
I would give it a 5 star for the food and staff. The building is a little run down looking but it is Ilion so I get it. The restroom is super clean and oddly decorated differently from the rest of the restaurant.
I love that we can see the cooks in action and the cooking area is clean.
We’ll be going there today! Just wish they had green tea ice cream but that may not be available here in the boondocks.

I don’t understand why the reviews are so good. The food was ok, most of it LOOKED nearly inedible because we ended up here at 3pm, and going between traditional meal times is not ideal at any buffet. Many of the things I tried tasted ok though… many, not all.
The interior was drab and poorly maintained but the kitchen looked clean. My boyfriend and I ate here because we were traveling and it got the best reviews of any buffet within a 50-​mile radius, and I was craving some sugar-​sprinkled Chinese donut thingys. Had we been home in Rochester with more options or a better idea of where else to eat, we’d probably have walked in and marched right back out again based on the look of the place. Alas, we were kind of stuck with it once we got here.
They had the obligatory buffet creep, lurking at a table within arms distance of the food and whatever else might happen to walk by. He had maybe the worst case of the creeper stares I’ve ever experienced, watching me cautiously ladle yum yum sauce onto my plate as I struggled to not give him the bitchy side-​eye the whole time. Yikes.
The woman who cashed us out was really nice, everyone else seemed disinterested and most of the staff didn’t appear to speak very much English. One of the guys in the kitchen made a nice phlegmy sound while walking a bowl of food around and didn’t bother covering his mouth, that was pretty sweet.
We ate over an hour ago and I don’t feel sick yet, so we’re calling it a win.

Whenever I visit my friend in Ilion, this is the place I stop for food. Can’t beat that all-​you-​can-​eat price, especially when you’re use to city prices. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly.
Definitely try the Peppered Shrimp and the Hot and Spicy Chicken!

Best Chinese food in the valley. They recently added another room that looks like it would be good for large groups
