" I had a nice evening with friends at Full Moon. The stir-fry was fresh and vividly colorful with a good variety of ingredients. However, while some of my party loved their dishes, I found mine to be lacking in flavor. Perhaps it's a matter of personal taste though. Definitely a friendly atmosphere, and I would consider giving it another shot for a different meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" These dishes are built for flavor and they absolutely deliver! The bold spices and fresh ingredients make each meal unique. The Chongqing Chicken was an unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to go back for more. The atmosphere is chilling but feels authentic, perfect for sharing a meal with friends or family. It might be a little pricier than other places, but the quality absolutely justifies it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, this place exceeded my expectations. The menu was extensive, featuring a lot of classic dishes that were cooked to perfection. I loved the balance of flavors, and the portions were just right for sharing. The staff were friendly and efficient which made the dining experience even more pleasant. It's a bit small, so plan ahead if you're dining during peak hours. Highly recommend their fried rice and any noodle dish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Full Moon Mandarin Cuisine is officially my favorite spot in town! I have tried several dishes, including their famous Sesame Chicken and Chow Mein, and they never disappoint. The freshness of the ingredients really shows and everything tastes homemade. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which makes for a cozy meal setting. The only critique is that it can sometimes get crowded, making it a bit noisy. But overall, my experiences here have been fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit. The service was really friendly, and the restaurant was cute and clean. I ordered some lunch specials, and while the rice was decent, the main dishes could have used stronger seasoning. The portions were a bit small for the price, which was disappointing. I appreciate the effort, but I think there’s room for improvement in terms of flavor intensity and quantity. Happy to see more Asian dining options in Monterey though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've eaten here a few times and had differing levels of satisfaction. Some meals blew me away, while others felt like I could get better takeout from somewhere else. The staff is friendly and they try hard, which I do appreciate. It can get really crowded during the dinner rush, so I'd suggest going during non-peak times if possible. " (*Curated Review*)

" In the midst of many choices in Monterey, Full Moon stands out. Their ability to serve authentic dishes that transport you straight to China is commendable. I love their Bao Buns and Dumplings; they have this homemade quality that really shines through. While it can get busy, the bustling environment somehow adds to the charm of the dining experience. I'll always come back! " (*Curated Review*)
