I go to the Moon Palace any time I can I think the food is great and it’s quiet enough to talk to friends I’ve been going to the Moon Palace for about 45 years Both the old and new locations

I brought someone to this restaurant for his birthday and his food was terrible. He ordered the seafood platter and everything was like rubber. We then ordered the Peking duck and that was even worse. It was totally overlooked and not being a neat eater, the smell was turning my stomach. He couldn’t he begin to eat it. At the end of the day, over $100 down the drain.
