Main Moon Chinese Restaurant

Best Chinese food around. Inexpensive has been around along time. The generals children is fantastic

Every time I come, I only order the house special noodle soup, with rice noodle instead of udon, and never get disappointed. The hot sauce they have is definitely amazing, but you have to ask for it.

Best sesame chicken ever! The service was great. Everything came really quickly and was delicious. The prices are also really reasonably, especially for lunch specials.

In a word, mediocre. South Hadley is not known for its culinary delight, but this is really pretty much the most mediocre of mediocre chinese food.
the décor? standard for a mediocre chinese restaurant
the food? a little salty, a little soggy, but in the end, edible
portions? rice portion was a little small, the actual dish was alright
recommend? if i were to have to live here in the region, i would probably eat if i was especially lazy that night, but i would never bring this up explicitly

Finding food at Mount Holyoke is certainly hard enough, given your extremely limited options. Main Moon really isn’t as bad as the other reviews on this site might suggest, though. The interior, for one, isn’t in need of redecoration; it’s par for the course for any Chinese restaurant in the country.
The food isn’t half bad either. It’s all fairly inexpensive, at about $ 10 per entrée with the exception of the Chef’s Special dishes like the General Tso’s Chicken. It’s your standardized Americanized Chinese food, which I’m perfectly okay with out here in Western Massachusetts. It’s certainly preferable to waiting a half hour for a mediocre meal at a higher-​priced, fancier restaurant in this Village Commons area.

It’s fake Chinese. It’s not terrible it’s not great. If you want /​are craving fake Chinese go for it.
Little greasy, not anything special but doable when you’re hungry and the dining halls are closed.

Not impressed, went for lunch and won’t be going back.
Plenty of other choices in this area.

This place is pretty bad. The restaurant isn’t aesthetically pleasing (it needs a makeover, asap) and the food is subpar.
My friends and I ordered takeout. We were told on the phone that it would take 15 minutes. The food wasn’t ready when we arrived (30 minutes later!) and the waitress did nothing to apologize for the situation.
The only redeeming quality is that it is cheap. Very cheap.
Without Mount Holyoke students this place would not be in business.

Ate here Christmas Day! Loved everything we ordered. (Vegetable egg rolls, crab rangoons, house special fried rice, General Tao chicken, and mei fun chicken) The foods not too greasy either! We ate in the restaurant but this would be a great place for take out as well.

Nothing amazing, but not bad either. Scallion pancakes were crisp, chicken sticks tender with a honey-​soy glaze, veggie dumplings were mostly cabbage and the wrappers too thick. Shrimp in chili sauce was a bit too sweet, but the shrimp were fresh tasting, and not over cooked.
Server was nice and was very accommodating of special requests.

South Hadley has slim pickens’ for Great Eats, but Main Moon is top for me for lunch. One Dish in particular, House Mei Fun with Curry Sauce! This is a noodle dish that is unique in the area — delish! Good basics; Great lunch values. Nothing fancy, but good eats when u need it.

This is my go to Chinese take out place in South Hadley. I usually get take out from here two to three times a month. Love their fried pork dumplings, crab rangoon, spring rolls, beef sticks, pork fried rice and sesame chicken.

Eh, it’s fine.
I’m a Mount Holyoke student and so I come here with my friends whenever they shut down the dining halls for holidays…
It’s not superb but it’s not terrible.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to big-​city dining, but I thought this place was terrible! I doubt this place would still be open if it was not within walking distance of Mt. Holyoke College… Go to Ichiban, a Chinese/​Japanese place that is a short 15 minute drive from the village common in South Hadley. It is much, MUCH better than Main Moon. I would give that place 3.5, maybe 4 stars.
