Ming Moon Chinese Restaurant

If you want dumplings only, these are good. The fried rice is horrible, the egg fu young is horrible and the snotty little jack wagon guy that delivers is rude. How does a Chinese place make horrible friend rice? Its the lifeblood of Chinese food. Oh and didn’t like the egg rolls either. Bleh!

We eat here about once a month. Food is good and hot, delivery is quick, service is TERRIBLE! To the girls that answer the phones and the rudest delivery guy, to have such good food it almost makes me not want to return! Appreciate your customers. I don’t need your delivery guy telling me when I opened the door, «you need to answer your phone, I’ve been calling.» After I told him my phone had been next to me the whole time and there isn’t one call from him, I pointed to a sign outside my door that said to «please knock» because the doorbell doesn’t work. He said he did but we didn’t hear him until the last knock. Advice for delivery people, if there is a storm door, please open it and knock on the wooden door!
Employees and management at Ming Moon need to work on their people skills for sure.

Ordered the chicken fried rice, crab rangoons, and hunan chicken. The fried rice was bland. The chicken in the chicken fried rice was so weird looking I didn’t dare eat it. Looked rubbery and undercooked somehow. The crab rangoons also tasted off and not like other places I have had. My husband did not like the Hunan chicken either (I didn’t try it). We will not order from here again ever!

I thought this place was ok until I had Wok Express in Murphy, this place is no good. Seaseme chicken is slimy, place is dirty, owner is rude. Wylie now has more choices. Step up your game or lock up the doors!

Used to be my favorite place to eat… after 4 times in a row having awful food… I’ve given up. Rice garden just down the road is immensely better. Not only is the food not good, but the last two times we’ve gone in I’ve seen the chefs in the back grabbing the sweet and sour check out of a container with their bare hands… Can you say gross?
Very disappointed that this place isn’t what it used to be.

It’s one of the only places that delivers in Wylie. We got the pork fried rice, which was tiny pieces of pork, no eggs and hardly any veggies except for white onions, a few peas and carrots. Also there is no option to get brown rice. We got orange beef which we didn’t like because it was too much breading. We also got the teriyaki chicken which was very strange because it was fried, like sweet and sour chicken. It’s not the worst in the world but it’s not as good as China Fang to us.

Very Rude! When I walked in I got a crazy stare, no welcome! Then he aggressively hands back my change. When I asked if they have sairacha sauce… NO!!! came out of his mouth. Bad customer service will put you out of business every time!

I was very disappointed when my favorite Chinese place — Lucky Chan’s — closed a few years back. It’s taken me forever to finally settle on a new place to satisfy my take-​out and delivery needs when I’m feeling lazy.
Considering the plethora of Chinese food places in the area, I’ve stuck with Ming Moon for a few reasons.
First of all, no: Ming Moon’s food is not fantastic, out of the ordinary or revolutionary. You’re not going to order the Orange chicken, taste it, and have an epiphany because it’s the best, most awesome Orange chicken you’ve ever tasted. SPOILER ALERT: The Chinese food here is the same as Chinese food everywhere else. It’s Chinese food, after all. It’s definitely not disgusting by any means. It’s exactly what you’d expect when you order Chinese. And as long as you’re okay with that, then you won’t be disappointed.
However, there are things that Ming Moon does exceptionally well that make me choose them over the competition. The first is that they are FAST. I mean really fast. Granted, I live less than a mile from their location. But when I order my food — no matter when or how much I order — it’s at my doorstep in fifteen minutes or less. I’ve spent longer waiting for my food to travel 20 feet from the kitchen to my table at sit down restaurant. And that food arrives hot and fresh like you wouldn’t believe, too. I can definitely dig that. I’m definitely that kind of person who freaks out when they say it’ll take an hour for my pizza to get delivered.
Second reason I enjoy Ming Moon: Online Ordering! If you are one of those people who hate talking on the phone, take a long time to order, have detailed special requests, then you’ll like this place’s set up. You can browse their ENTIRE menu, choose what you want, which portion size fits you, and make special requests right on your computer! No worries about messing up big orders or fearing if the guy on the telephone heard you right. It’s all there in black and white. You can take as long as you want setting up your order, changing your mind, etc, and then simply click «Checkout» when you’re ready to go. BONUS: You can also choose to pay for the food and tip online or in person.
On top of the ease of ordering and the quickness of delivery, I enjoy how expansive Ming Moon’s menu is. Their portion sizes for entrees range from kid-​size to the traditional «How did I get all this food»? The diversity and selection of the appetizers are really nice, too. Here’s a shortlist of menu-​items that I find particularly tasty:
Broccoli Beef
Crab Rangoons
Dumplings
Chinese Donuts (all they are are fried, sugar-​coated biscuits, but they’re SO GOOD).
Sweet and Sour Chicken
I have to admit I haven’t tried but a fraction of Ming Moon’s menu, but what I have tried is delicious. Plus can’t we all just admit the beauty of Chinese Take-​out is getting the same thing every single time and having it always taste the same and eat it all without having to care? That’s my view, at least.
So if you’re ever in the mood for Chinese, or have a lot of people you need to feed, or are just having a lazy day at home and want food to show up on your porch as fast as possible, give Ming Moon a try. As long as you aren’t expecting something other than good old-​fashioned Chinese take-​out, I think you’ll enjoy it.

I can sum up this joint as having hot, fresh, delicious food. Great place to order carry out.
The menu is quite extensive and priced reasonably. The food was hot and delicious. The reason I am giving a 4 star review is because the General Tso Chicken had too much breading and too little meat, while the Mongolian Beef was too salty. Both an issue on repeat occasions.

Good food!

Trying to find a good Chinese place is like trying to find a needle In a haystack. We have ordered from most of the places in our area, and none have been that impressive.
I would love to be able to talk about the quality at Ming Moon — but unfortunately we never got the food. We ordered through their on-​line system with a requested delivery time of 7 PM. I got a call that evening at 6 PM from the delivery driver — saying that he was out front of our house. Unfortunately for him — we were across town. I told him we had specifically requested a 7 PM time, and his response was «Dude, I’m just the delivery driver.»
As unconcerned as he was — he had a point.
I then called the restaurant, and they gentleman told me he would bring the food back out in an hour. When I asked him if he would be remaking the order, he decided to get rude with me. I told him that since they couldn’t figure it out, and he would rather be rude than fix the issue — to cancel the order and we would take our business elsewhere.
This was Thursday of last week, and after two more calls since then — I am still waiting on that charge to be refunded.

Ming moon customer service could improve, they delivered my order without my rice or cashews and proceded to argue about it and pass the phone to 3 different people while my riceless Chinese got cold. Money wasted.

This is a good little place! Waaaay better than Lucky Chan’s. That place is the worst. Ming Moon has fast delivery and I could tell I was actually eating chicken! I’ve only had the Sesame Chicken, so that’s all I can vouch for, but it was super tasty! I mean, it’s delivery Chinese food… It’s about as good as you can get!

The menu has a large selection of dishes, but it’s odd because the same dish seems to be listed several different ways with different prices. Some differences make sense, others make you wonder why the price is different. Let me give an example:
Lunch Special: Kung Pao Chicken $ 5.25
Chicken with Steamed or Fried Rice: Kung Pao Chicken $ 7.55
Dinner Combo with Steamed or Fried Rice + Egg Roll: Kung Pao Chicken $ 7.25
House Special with Steamed or Fried Rice: Kung Pao Combination $ 8.75
I understand the lunch special being less expensive because generally the lunch portion is smaller. The other 3 options I don’t understand. Like if you get Kung Pao chicken with Fried Rice, it’s $ 7.55 but if you get the same thing with an Egg Roll, it’s 30 cents less? And what is a House Special or a Combination? Talk about cryptic descriptions! I’m guessing that since the House Special doesn’t say «chicken» that it is a combination of kung pao chicken and kung pao shrimp? Or is it beef? What is it? Why not describe the dishes on their internet menu? Are they payng their web designer by the word? This isn’t a telegraph! No, I think the issue is laziness. Why exert any more effort than the bare minimum?
This laziness sentiment is echoed in the coupon section. The coupons are a year old, and the restaurant is aware of this, but they choose to leave the coupons online and inform any customers who mention the coupons that they have been expired for a year. (I looked at the month and day, didn’t think I had to check the year as I thought it would be rediculous that a restaurant would have 1 year old coupons on their web site)
Ok, so I was a little apprehensive to order when I found out about the coupon thing because generally when a restaurant doesn’t pay attention to details, it’s a very bad sign for the person about to eat their food. That said, I decided to try them anyway.
Appetizer: The chicken sticks are good. Well worth the menu price. You get a good portion of chicken, and it is very tasty.
Dish #1: General Tso’s Chicken: This is the dish I almost always get when I eat Chinese food. The General Tso’s dish at Ming Moon was hot, fresh and delicious.
Dish #2: Kung Pao Chicken: I had no idea what Kung Pao meant, but it sounded kind of cool, so I thought I would give this a shot. It has an interesting mix of spices, vegetables and peanuts. It was pretty good. The kids hated it. (Too spicy for them)
It would be a better experience if the online menu had been up to date and included descriptions of the dishes, instead of just their name.

We use to really love to order from this restaurant — the food was really quite good; however, the last time we ordered, my daughter found a hair in her food. It really sickened her… I can’t really order anymore as I feel that this is something that is totally unacceptable. We had to throw the food in the trash.

Food was promptly delivered and packaged very well; nothing dripping… The food was OK, but we have had much better. The pepper steak was tasteless, no flavor or spice at all (never had that happen with chinese before). And, the orange chicken was fried and tough. We were so bummed… had our mouth ready for great chinese! However, the «free» chicken stick was the best thing delivered! Thick, tender skewer of chicken basted & grilled in a terriakyi sauce. Yum.

Great for ordering in. Food was delivered quickly and still hot. Chicken LoMein and General Tso’s chicken were very good. Crab rangoons were crisp and had great flavor. I thought the prices were definitely better than most other Chinese food delivery in the area as the portion are huge. I also appreciate that the dishes are well packaged for delivery so you don’t have a huge mess on your countertop.

If Chinese take out is what you crave then give Ming Moon a try. New to the area, you’ll find this little store front restaurant convieniently located opposite the Wylie Post Office on FM-​544. There are only some 6 booths available so if you want to eat in during lunchtime it may be a bit of a challenge since it’s usually very busy.
My favs are the steamed potstickers (and I love the fact that you get 10!!), the wonton soup, the lo mein and the egg rolls. There is also a kid’s menu for pint-​sized appetites.
Although there are several good Chinese places in the area, we frequent this one the most because the food is good, the portions are generous, the prices are competitive, the place is clean, and the staff is pleasant. All and all, this place scores on many levels.
