Main Moon

Cheap, fast, large portions. It’s great if you have a craving, but not the best. The dumplings had a really think dough (more like bao) and the shrimp in the Lo mein tasted odd.

I’ve been ordering food from Main Moon in Stow for several years and have eaten in a few times. There are numerous menu options and the typical wait time for picking up an order is 10 minutes. I’ve had a few dishes from them that I like and my current favorite is kung pao chicken. The staff has always been personable. The only reason I took off a star is because it’s not gourmet Chinese food but definitely worth the price you pay. A typical meal I order there lasts me (2) meals because you are given a large quantity of food.

WARNING: If you order from the Chinese Restaurant in Stow called, ‘Main Moon’, make sure to bring your metal detector. There was piece of metal in my food. The food was return with the piece of metal and the lady at the counter apologize and said that they would make another one. YEAH — Right!!! When we refused her offer, but accepted her apology and asked to be refunded — that’s when she started negotiating. You ask, ‘What does that mean?’ Her comment, «You and your family already ate some of the food and we will not be giving you a refund for what you ate or even partly what was eaten. I’ll give you your money back for the pork fried rice and the pint size shrimp Lo mein that wan’t touched.» This is the second time that there was something dangerous in their food. The first time it was a huge fish bone that pierced the roof of my mouth. I couldn’t close my mouth until it was removed. Then to add insult to injury: She hands us back $ 8.20 — That’s right, my life is worth a mere $ 8.20 in her eyes. Other customers were there when we returned the food. Hopefully, they went home and checked everything out before eating. I will be posting this FOOD WARNING on facebook and calling the health department on Monday and sending them these photos. I really like Asian food, but will not be making any more purchases at this restaurant (if you can call it that). There’s other places to eat that may be a little more expensive, but worth it in quality and safety. Another store, in Stow, that doesn’t know anything about great customer service.
What is great customer service and how should it have been applied in this situation? Answer: Oh my, please except our deepest apologizes. We will be glad to remake the meal, if you would like, or give you a full refund. We hope that we can earn your trust back, because we don’t want to lose you as a customer.
Does that cover it! I do have pictures :(

I really do love this place. It’s my favorite little Chinese place and since it’s in Highland Square its super convenient for me. Their delivery is quick but picking it up is quicker. I absolutely love their potstickers! The chicken with broccoli is my go to but my family swears by their sweet and sour chicken.
I always hear the complaint that its hard to understand the people over the phone but to that I say get over it. They make good food and speak pretty slowly so just take a second to really listen and there are no communication issues.

Best hot n Sour soup and hunan chicken in Stow for sure.

NEVER GO THERE! I don’t understand who can give 4 stars to this food. It’s terrible. Service is horrible in all ways… Food is not fresh (slightly saying). Cashews, chicken and egg rolls tasted like they were stored for 6 months. More over, every meal is prepped with the same gravy, no matter if it was teriyaki or Brown gravy you ordered. Plus meats obviously weren’t seasoned before cooking, just during cooking, it was tasteless. Plus for those money you can eat perfect meals at for e.g. «House of Hukan» in Fairlawn.

For take out Chinese food this place is pretty good
Eating there is not as good for some reason
Food is way too hot!
Take it home or sit around while it cools off a little!
Fried rice could be better lacks taste
But if in the area this my favorite place to take home Chinese
General Tso’s shrimp is one of my preferred meals

This was one of the most horrific dining experiences ever! We waited over an hour to get our take-​out order. While we were waiting to get our order, we watched another customer actually leave with an incomplete order just because they wanted to take food home to their children and had already waited over an hour and a half. Terrible, terrible, terrible! We will NEVER order from here again.

Good food… can’t say that I have ever really had bad Chinese food before but I still haven’t after coming here. They have great deals on lunch specials… between $ 4 and $ 6 mostly, with fried rice and a soda.

The best «fast food» Chinese in the area. Consistently good, they always get your order right, it’s very fairly priced, and always tasty.

The best Chinese food near Kent. Orange chicken is my favorite! Must order!

I have yet to receive a bad meal or bad service here.
Edit 11÷25÷15:
I think they go through owners or management on a regular basis. Just as you’re getting used to a face, new ones pop up. And this latest incarnation needs help.
Had shrimp lo mein and General Tso’s chicken. The general Tso’s sauce was ketchup at best. The shrimp in the lo mein was rancid, made the entire meal a waste.

I’d give this place 2.5 stars if it were possible. because it’s OK, but not really.
New to the area, Boyfriend and I spotted this place as we were getting to know the area and decided to try it out, since it’s the first Chinese food we’ve seen so far. We decided to go ahead and order our staple Chinese food so that we could compare it to what we usually ate in Philadelphia — roast pork lo mein for him and chicken fried rice (with no onions) for me.
Boyfriend mostly enjoyed his lo mein. He said it was a little less crunchy than what he was used to, and the sauce was a little sweeter, which he wasn’t a fan of. Slightly greasy, but that’s what we were used to from our Philadelphia favorite, so it could easily be overlooked.
My chicken fried rice wasn’t really much to write home about, I’m afraid. It was slightly less greasy than I was used to, so yay there. But it was really bland. Since I requested no onions, all it was was rice, chicken and bean sprouts (although, since bean sprouts are an absolute must for me in fried rice, I was very happy to find them there). I doctored it with soy sauce and garlic salt, and that helped somewhat. but it was just very uniform and boring. No real flavor anywhere.
This place will do if we’ve got a crazy craving for Chinese and can’t find it elsewhere, but otherwise I believe we’ll continue looking.

One of the first thing I was told when I moved to Ohio is that there is no good Chinese food. I’ve tried a few places and felt disappointed and then I went to Main Moon.
It was really good! I’ve only tried a few of their items but their dumplings are great as is their fried rice. It’s not greasy or too salty like some other places. The customer service was good but you have to order ahead of time on weekends or you could end up waiting 40 minutes for your food…
it might not be the most authentic Chinese food but it is exactly what I expect when I order take out. Delicious candied chicken!

Have any of you ever had Chinese? I could have bought frozen and it would have been more authentic. Surprisingly, they had a steady stream of people picking up take out. Apparently no one in this area has ever had real Chinese.
Ordered spring rolls, nothing special, similar to frozen section rolls.
Main dish was sweet and sour shrimp. No veggies, pineapple, everything I expect with sweet and sour.
I ate it, I was hungry. Won’t be back though.

Really not impressed with anything I’ve had there.

Good chinese food is hard to find, at least for me. When I found out about the «Main Moon» I said to myself, «Why not!». It could only lead to another disappointment in my long list of chinese restaurant failures.
To my surprise!, the Main Moon has had consistent good quality food since I started eating there several years ago. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a good Chinese takeout meal.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Unfortunately crappy Chinese food restaurants seem to far outnumber the good ones. I tried this place seeing the good reviews on here. I’m glad I did.
I always order the same thing when I get Chinese food: Chicken with Broccoli. Simple? Yes. But as a kid when we ordered Chinese takeout, this is what I always chose, so it’s sort of nostalgic.
Main Moon’s Chicken with Broccoli tasted fresh, and had just enough sauce without being overpowering. It was just what I was looking for. The fired rice was spot-​on, too.
Staff were very friendly in our brief interactions. They do offer dine-​in seating, but I’ve only ever had take-​out. When my yearly craving for Chinese food hits, this will probably be the place I continue to choose.

Awesome all the time

Take out Review
Phone Order — the young lady on the line repeated the order back and was careful to mention that I requested no onions in our fried rice.
Potstickers — well browned, but did not make the 7 mile trip home well… thick mushy corporate tasting.
General Tso’s Chicken — Hubby was happy with the taste and the heat. The breading was plain, but there wasn’t much of it and only a few pieces were over done. Easily enough to feed a family of 4.
Chicken Fried Rice — MIld and plain with very tasty small chicken strips. Some sprouts, but no other vegetables or egg.
The menu is quite extensive and this location is halfway between home and the Bow Wow Beach dog park.
This was OK for take out… I’ll update when we have a chance to eat in :-)
