Reviews for August Moon in New Orleans, LA
I ordered Sweet and Sour Shrimp. Did not get any sweet and sour sauce and the shrimp was over cooked. Had to peel the batter... away from the shrimp. Read more
I dined in with my husband and we had the egg drop soup, crab ragoons, sesame chicken and beef pho. The food was delicious and... very fresh. They don?t use MSG. Great service and very clean. August Moon is our favorite when we?re uptown! Read more
I remember August Moon was the first place we ate when we moved to town, just down the street, many years ago. We ate there a... few times back then and although not exceptional, it was decent. We recently moved back to the area and this is not the sameexperience now. The sake was bad - like filtered through a used coffee maker bad. The appetizer BBQ ribs and two soups weresimply inedible, and to top it off they had Hannity on the TV and a family of gnats around our table and faces. We didn't evenget to the entrees and just had to pay and leave. Sad to see the decline. Read more
Food is amazing here. Egg rolls are different than what I am used to but still good. Delivery is pretty fast. I have become a... regular in my short time moving to this area. Read more
No MSG! I absolutely love their shrimp Lo mein noodles. It works well with my pescatarian lifestyle. I usually ask for extra... onions and shrimp. It?s walking distance from Touro and they offer free delivery to the hospital entrance on Prytania if youorder at least $12. I?ve also had their steamed crab rolls. You definitely can?t go wrong by eating here. Read more
I visited here for dinner today and I will definitely be going back. The atmosphere of the place is cozy since it's not very big... or brightly light, but you get a sense of upscale as well. The great artwork on the walls as well as the attention paid to thesmall details gives it a sort of fancy and craftsmanship feel. For example the crown molding covering the entire restauranthelps ties things together while the solid wood chairs and tables are much better for the aesthetic. I ordered the General Tao'schicken, with pork fried rice and Chinese egg rolls. Everything was delicious specially the chicken since it wasn't heavilybreaded to give off the illusion of bigger portions, as some places do. I would bring a date here, have a lunch meeting, meet myparents for lunch, it's suitable for several occasions. Read more
I've ordered take out from here a bunch of times and always thought it to be delicious. My first time dining in, and I'm... impressed. Very clean, nice tables and chairs and decor. Our server was very polite and welcoming. It was a great meal. Triedsomething new, too. THE FOOD: Started with Chinese egg rolls, which I LOVE!!! The in-house hot mustard kicks butt! The heat justpops in your nose..love it. The egg rolls are fat and crispy and burst with flavors of cabbage and veggies and pork. I triedfried tofu for the first time. Very bland on its own, the sauce is also mild. Little slices of red and orange peppers don't addmuch. It was good the next day mixed with other leftovers. My entree was Kung pao beef. Disappointed because it was not spicy atall. Added some hot mustard to give it kick. The beef was tasty. My girlfriend had Sweet and sour chicken. Which was great.Chicken was moist and coating was good. She also had fried rice which is always good. Read more
I have been getting food from August Moon for years and years! Recently sometime in the last few years, they end Vietnamese... dishes to the menu which is made a huge difference. I now order from that menu mostly. But recently I took a walk on the wildside and ordered eggrolls and some kind of tofu dish it was also delicious. I think this place just keeps getting better. Itseems of f drearyy to dine in there but it?s takeout is excellent and they come quickly too. I always just call them up and iuse their delivery guy rather than get a service to do it. People are very very nice and the food is just so yummy and well priced those looking for truly authentic Chinese cooking might be disappointing to this place but it?s fine for me Virginia Lee theGerald chose chicken and that tofu dish I had last time. I also have the Szechuan eggplant so it could be a little hotter.Little spicier. That said, sometimes I just get an order of Chinese eggrolls and an order of dumplings and that?s it it?e awonderful meal! Read more
