Harvest Moon

The new Harvest Moon that I think closed sucks, they didn’t have soy sauce on table, because owners wanted me to taste food 1^st, im a big boy thanks, I’ll decide what I choose to do…

Went here with my parents when they visited. They served us good food and our waiter was really friendly. The place was easy to the eyes as well.

Now called Wanda’s Kitchen. Spare rib entrée came right of a microwave. Potstickers were terrible. Pork fried rice had pork which looked and tasted as though it had been cooked days ago. Even the Hoisin sauce was bad as it was excessively salty. I will not return.

Warning warning!!! The food is very nasty came here with my wife a while back we talked to the owner Wanda and they have a new cook and new menu, a Vietnamese chef… No wonder the food is like a weird sweet flavor. never again even if it was cheaper no way jose

Having lived in Asia for two years, I am picky as to what I like here. The food was almost inedible. I think they are trying to hard to be fusion and it doesn’t work.

Worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had! We took my grandmother here for her birthday dinner. When first seated, the server took our drink order. My mother asked if the had filtered water and the server boasted that he had just purchased a water filter that day for the restaurant. I thought that was strange. AZ tap water is notoriously gross and this wasn’t a new restaurant. We got our drink orders, and placed our food orders. My aunt had been a regular at this place in the past, but noticed her go-​to chicken fried rice wasn’t even on the menu, but the server said they could make it for her. While waiting, we all took our silverware from our cloth napkins. I noticed mine had a sticky/​greasy film all over it-​every piece. I thought about asking for a new set, but the other 4 people in my party had the same problem. My aunt was able to scrape through the layer of grossness with her fingernail to see how the silverware should look. You’d think we would’ve just walked out at this point, but I guess we were still trying to give them the benefit of the doubt since my aunt had eaten there before (though we were starting to think there might be new management). My mom and I opted to ask for chopsticks since they are single use and disposable (coming to you in the package). We requested them upon receipt of our food, and at this time, my grandmother ordered tea. We waited about 10 minutes for our chopsticks, and my grandmother NEVER GOT HER TEA!!! I ordered a vegan dish with deep fried tofu, my mom ordered the kale, beet and steak salad, one aunt ordered sweet and sour pork with a side of fried rice, the other got her chicken fried rice, and grandma ordered a sweet fried shrimp dish. I was the only person that liked my food. The salad was just okay, nothing special. The fried pork was soggy, and looked undercooked. The fried rice dishes didn’t have any egg, so it looked like regular rice with some veggies, and tasted bland. The chicken in the chicken fried rice was gross. It didn’t even resemble chicken; who knows what part of the chicken it came from! It was obviously not fresh. The only thing my grandma liked about her dish was the actual shrimp. We had three people out of 5 not even touching their plates, so you’d think our server would come by and check on us. Nope! After we got the chopsticks, he never came by again! I was going to ask for a container to take my leftover tofu and noodles, but no one ever came. We even put our napkins on the table and our hands in our lap to signify we were ready to leave. After I decided to stop eating (no one else had been touching food for a while), we waited another 20 minutes and we had to flag down another server and ask for our check. A $ 100 bill for gross food. We paid and left, letting the hostess at the front know how disappointed we were. Oh, and one of my aunts had ordered a lemon drop at the beginning of the evening (the rim of the glass is covered in sugar), and when she finished licking off the sugar, there was a lipstick stain on the glass!!! She wasn’t wearing lipstick!!! I can’t believe we paid the bill. I hope this place goes out of business fast. Warn your friends and family to NEVER go to Harvest Moon!!!

Terrible Service. Flatware dirty. Had to ask for everything. Waiter never asked how we were doing. Food was bad. Will not return. Would have given no stars. We paid for the food, but should not have.

From top to bottom the most horrific restaurant experience EVER. The owner is out of her mind if she thinks her restaurant will be able to sustain in Oro Valley. 1. Waited 1 hour and 20 min for a to go order then there were 3 tables and 2 people at the bar. 2. I was over charged and didn’t notice until I got home. I’ve attempted to contact Wanda, the owner, and she has yet to call me back to reimburse me the money she stole from me. 3. NO RICE when I got home. 4. I waited 10 min to even be handed a menu.
This place is a total joke and she had the most arrogant smirk on her face as she said sorry. Then, she chuckled. Huh? A gentleman who also ordered a Togo 1 hour after me received his food before me!
Head to GMG on La Canada and Lambert. Harvest Moon is a total joke.

I made the reservation for 6.30 Sunday evening. We’ve always enjoyed harvest.
On arrival only a few tables were occupied and several couples were waiting inside the door.
I checked in with a waitress who came by. She didn’t care about the reservation but asked us to wait with the others. I pointed out almost all tables were empty, she said they were too busy in back. After ten minutes and no movement one couple sat down with no waitress, and the rest of us left. One person mentioned the restaurant changed ownership and this was what had happened. Too bad.

We used to eat here all the time and loved it but the last 2 times we’ve gone it’s been awful. Cold coffee (room temperature), cold soup, none of the standard Chinese dishes that we loved are on the menu. Dafuq happened?

Well… sorry to all my DEVOTED FOLLOWERS (none) but I have to report another non eating experience. I’ve been wanting to check out this spot for a few weeks now so my dad and I decided to make the long trek out to 12 000 n Oracle and have some lunch.
We were sure to make it before 3 because that’s when their lunch special ends and we wanted to have our first visit be a cheap one… well…it was. It was FREE. You see… they aren’t really open until 4pm.
I wouldn’t have been so disgruntled had we not made the 45 min drive all the way out there. In fact, even their Unilocal page says they open Monday — Friday at 11 am. Once again, I am sorry to report that I have no actual review here. Nor will I ever.
Maybe I’ll check it out when it’s a Panera in February.
Ridiculous waste of time.

Simply average.

Outstanding food, service and ambiance, my third time in less than a week. I recommend Harvest Moon to all food lovers.

We lived in China for a short time and fell in love with the food. We have tried many recommended Chinese restaurants and have been mostly disappointed as it seems the flavor profiles that should be in the traditional recipes are watered down for a local audience. We joke in our family it is «Cheese Whiz Chinese» When we went to Harvest Moon for the first time it was like we just got of the Star Ferry in Honk Kong. Wow, traditional flavors, colors and textures. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. If you want authentic, traditional Chinese food that is prepared the way it should be then this is the place for you.

I have never eaten AT this restaurant, but we get takeout from here all the time. I consider this one of the top Chinese restaurants in town.
I absolutely love their fried rice and hot and sour soup. They are both must haves. They have the best pork fried rice in town. Beef n Broccoli is pretty good, but nothing outrageous.
Only con is they are a bit expensive (compared to other Chinese restaurants in town), but we still keep going back!

Our favorite Chinese in Tucson. This visit we enjoyed two of their lunches on an unusually rainy afternoon. Nice hot & sour soup (neither too much of either — just right), and Happy Family and Crispy Shrimp. Delicious! Some rice and veggies to take home for our dog. Also, nice, crisp noodles to munch on as we enjoyed our drinks — beer & martini — and to eat with our soup. The sauces went well with the fried shrimp. Only wish this restaurant was closer to our home.

The current review is 3.5 stars but I really liked our family experience last weekend. I had the Harvest Moon Lo Mein and my fiancé had the Dr Steve’s Summer Special. I really liked the Lo Mein, great flavor and huge portion. Dr Steve’s was an awesome mix of ten vegetables in a broth delivered in a cast iron pot that keeps your food warm the whole meal. I also tried some of the cashew chicken which I recommend also! The service was very nice and they even gave me a salad on the house because everyone else at the table either had soup or salad. Beware of the salad dressing — it’s spicy but good. They also give you a fried crispy chips to nibble on while you wait for your food. I recommend not starting to eat them or you will keep reaching for the bowl! If in the Oro Valley area I would recommend giving Harvest Moon your business for some wonderful Chinese food!

The food is fantastic, and we are glad the new menu has been rolled out!
Portion sizes of seem to be somewhat smaller than what they used to be, but are still huge!!! Don’t mistake the large dishes for small portions!
We go semi-​regularly and have had our share of issues, but they have always fixed things!
Get off of it folks! We all make a mistake or two, mention it to the manager/​owner and it is fixed immediately. Making an error isn’t the issue, it’s how it is handled once recognized that matters in my opinion.
Can’t say enough great things about Harvest and the new menu, hope they are around for many, many years to come!

Oh Harvest Moon. I had such high hopes. I went there for dinner last night and was immediately pleased with the look of the place. We were seated right away and our server greeted us shortly. While we did not have place settings I didn’t really worry about that. Our server took our appetizer order, duck sliders and rice balls. A while after ordering the server came back and said they out of the rice balls. Strike two…
We got egg rolls instead and ordered our meals. Steamed fish, wok seared filet medium rare and lo mein with tofu. Three separate orders for three separate people. The lo mein was brought out first along with three plates. There was no tofu in it. Strike three…
Next they brought the streamed fish. It was seven tiny pieces of fish in the biggest frigging bowl ever. I’m not joking. It was an appetizer sized meal. And guess what it cost me. TWENTY ONE DOLLARS!!! Super Strike!!!
Next my filet came out. It was wrapped in foil and on a later plate that they set on fire. Ok. Really nice presentation but so much for medium rare. After burning my food for a minute or two the server put the still on fire plate in front of me and says, and I quote «As long as you don’t lift it you should be okay.» What the heck???
After waiting a while for the fire to go out I opened the foil and was shocked to see crispy cubes of beef simmering in veggies. Not the wok seared filet I’d imagined. At this point I was so done. So very done.
To top it off nothing at all was good. The fish was chewy, the lo mein bland (and when they brought out the tofu it was just plain tofu on a plate) and the steak. Well it was extremely well done, bland and full of gristle.
I will give it to them, they didn’t charge me for the steak but for two appetizers, a glass of wine, bland lo mein and seven chewy fish pieces I paid $ 50.00.
Not impressed. Not at all.
I went next door to San Carlos grill and got a good meal. I will not go to Harvest Moon again.

Delicious food! We’ve been here many times and have always had a great experience. Great prices and great size portions.
