We got takeout while visiting from out of town and LOVED it. The place was extremely busy (since it was a public holiday and most other places were closed). Their front of house person did a great job managing so much busy-ness and communicated well with us about our order. Then the food OH MY GOD. Portions are huge, food is great, the honey garlic spareribs MELTED off the bone. I highly recommend this place!

Fast service, great tasting food, overall a wonderful experience.I removed one star from the "food" category as there has been a few times the rice and chow mein were bland compared to how it usually tastes.This place usually has the best tasting Chinese food on the island (in my opinion), and is definitely worth a try!

My mum and dad used to go here quite a bit while I was a kid, and they loved the food.30 years later, I find myself going here when I want really good American Chinese food. The sweet and sour chicken ball sauce is the best. The deep red colouring is not normal, so they either do their own or modify an existing. Either way, it is absolutely delicious. I find their ribs are not the best but the sauce is great. Their rice has an unbelievable smokey taste and one of the best rices I have ever had. The chow mein is also very good. Not too thick and fresh tasting.I drive from Glace Bay to get New Moon and it never disappoints, unlike other restaurants in Glace Bay, Sydney, etc.

Only open for take out currently. Their combos are reasonably priced and delicious. Combo #1 only 7.99 and was hot and fresh when I picked it up. It’s been hard to find decent quality Chinese food lately. Everything in the combo had flavour!

Love New moon. I eat there at least once per month and it's my goto when I don't want to cook. The food is always great as is the service. 99% of the time I use take out but have eaten in and service is always excellent. Strongly recommend
