" Their restaurant is a little cozy gem in the heart of Monterey! I went with high expectations based on reviews and I'm happy to say they were met! The Spicy Fish was authentic and flavorful, and the staff was super helpful in navigating the menu. I definitely plan on returning to try more dishes! It's a bit tight on seating, but the food is worth any wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited here after hearing plenty of buzz about how great the food was. While I enjoyed my dish, I felt it lacked the punch of flavor I was expecting from authentic Mandarin cuisine. The ambiance was nice, cozy, and the staff were attentive. Perhaps it was just an off day? I might consider giving it another try in the future to see if the flavors are more vibrant next time. " (*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*)

" This restaurant has become my go-to for Chinese food in the area. I absolutely love the authentic dishes they serve, and the staff are incredible! I can always rely on them for solid recommendations. Their Szechuan dishes are among the best I've ever had. I also appreciate their attention to hygiene and cleanliness in the dining area. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)

" 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*)
