1) Xiao Long Bao (aka Soup Dumplings) - This is a big hitter across all customer groups. As a light appetizer the dish comes with ten (10) dumplings with a side of ginger. Many customer's like to sprinkle some black vinegar and hot chili sauce over it, though it's already incredibly flavorful. 2) Shanghai Noodles - Very popular dish. Wide noodles with a special sauce served like Spaghetti with an oriental twist. 3) Hot and Sour Soup - It's not your average hot and sour soup! It's very chunky and almost mouth watering. Customer's cant' seem to get enough of this...

Is there dine in tables?
A:
As of February 2022, we are no longer offering dine-in service. There are, however, four available seats along the window for fast casual dining indoors.

What happened to the old egg roll from the previous menu - is it coming back?
A:
Hi Michael! Are you referring to the Shanghai Spring Rolls? If so, we haven't had that on the menu for quite some time. Our standard pork and vegetable egg rolls are still available.

I think I have a new favorite Chinese takeout spot! Oh my gosh.
We ordered from moon palace tonight and everything was exceptional.
The Xiao Long Bao were delicious and succulent. The Schwezan Style green beans were so good. We ordered Moon Palace Chicken which was really spicy, rich and unique. The stir fried veggie lo mein was the least favorite of the night, but it's an inherently simple dish, so no one was surprised.
We eat plenty of Chinese takeout and we're so thrilled to have discovered Moon Palace!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 28, 2022Updated review
Since moving to LA, I always find myself craving for Moon Palace! I make sure to always get Moon Palace when I'm back in Chicago! Ordered for delivery tonight and the food was excellent as always! Def hit the spot!
I ordered all my favorites: beef and broccoli chow fun, garlic sautéed peapod sprouts, orange chicken and fish and string beans! Delivery took about an hour from the time I ordered. The food arrived steaming hot and fresh! Highly recommend if you've never tried them!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jun 8, 2022Previous reviewMoon Palace is finally open again! They went through some renovations over the past few months and the concept is quite different now. Instead of being a full dine-in restaurant, they have converted themselves into a take-out and delivery counter. There are about 6 stools inside where you can have a quick bite, but I decided to order all my favorites for takeout.
I got the hot and sour soup, orange chicken, salt and pepper squid, extra crispy chow fun, and egg fried rice with chicken. I wanted to order more but I knew my eyes were bigger than my stomach! Everything was just as good as I remember!
The stand out dish for me is def the orange chicken. Growing up, I despised orange chicken because it reminds me of the sad dish from Panda Express. When a friend introduced it to me at Moon Palace, I was blown away! The chicken is still crispy and the sauce that evenly coats the chicken is so flavorful- it's really the perfect orangey sweet and sour sauce! I ALWAYS get it when I'm here!
Other dishes that I recommend are the sauteed pea sprouts and the crispy hunan fish! My mouth is watering while I type this review.
Def recommend this restaurant! You won't regret it! - Anne A.Chicago, IL1811Mar 14, 2024
If you haven't been here in a while, you should know that it's mostly takeout now with only a few seats for eating in. Still got a good menu, but most of the space is now a bar. :(
This used to be one of my faves in Chinatown.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Anne - It wasn’t the same post-covid, as we had our dining operations in for a while afterwards. Ultimately we made a business decision to stick around for a little longer for our loyal customers such as yourself. Thank you so much for visiting and we’re glad you still find our menu good.

Haven't been back since they changed over to take out, but not disappointed. Salt and pepper shrimp without shells were wonderful! BBQ Pork egg foo young was also good. We always enjoyed eating there with the family and miss that most of all.

Ordered DoorDash to try. Bad decision. Spent $27 on half duck which was only 7 pieces and def wasn't half a duck. Mooshu pork came with horrible thick tortillas. I'm beating myself up on trying this one.

Thanks for the review Ning. You seem to only post negative reviews for businesses (Rainbow Kitchen, Zinc Brasserie, Super Shuttle Austin). I would love to see what you actually like! How were the pan fried pork buns you also ordered? Lots of our customers seem to enjoy those. As always, we always appreciate feedback from our customers, and look forward to making some improvement going forward.

We chose to dine out for Christmas and wandered into Moon Palace. It was luckily not a long wait-unless you ordered take out that night! Our table was ready in less than 30 minutes and we were served within 45 minutes.
We ordered the green onion cakes and egg rolls. Both were very good. Crispy and came with tasty sauces. I had the Mongolian beef which was good. Beef was tender and the sauce tasty. He chose the chicken with vegetables while not a huge portion, it was just large enough for him. They have alcohol but looked limited from my vantage point but I drink common items. He had to find a beer he liked.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Areanna N.Austin, Chicago, IL065Aug 28, 2023
Ordered for takeout tonight. Food was amazing and still warm by the time it was delivered bc it came 30 min earlier than expected! Had the peanut noodles, bbq pork, combo rice & crab rangoons & have not a single complaint. Will be ordering again soon!

Awesome!
My husband and I have this random little tradition where we get Chinese food every NYE. Even though 2020 has been a dumpster fire in all the ways, there was no reason to skip the this year.
Full disclosure, our normal place had closed, so I took to my trusy Yelp app to help me out.
Menu is substantial; lots of options. We ordered, BBQ Pork (wasnt expecting the presentation, but flavor was AMAZING) Potstickers, Orange Chicken, Lo Mein, Chow Mein and Mongolian Chicken (I think?). We got a lot of food! But the portions were solid and prices for sure reflected what you got. Really easy to order using GrubHub and super safe pickup. Restaurant is right next to the Chinatown Fire Station.
Will for sure order from here again and thank you for being open NYE (and during a pandemic)!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Sonya M.Chicago, IL177623978Jan 13, 2022
Never again.
My sister has had a recent infatuation with Chinese food lately. Everytime we order out she always wants Chinese. Last week we tried Moon Palace for the first and last time.
We ordered delivery from Uber Eats and I believe the total was around $65. We ordered cashew chicken, chicken fried rice, Mongolian beef and beef with broccoli. Long story short, the food had NO flavor. It was just bland. We couldn't even smell it once we got it out of the bag and uncovered. The portion size is generous, but we didn't even bother saving the leftovers the food was so bad.
The egg rolls were probably the only saving grace, but even those weren't anything to get excited over. The cashew chicken was mostly cashews. There was very little chicken so it was literally like you were eating a bowl of cashews. The Mongolian beef had noodles in it which I didn't care for, but I guess that stopped them from drowning it in onions. It also wasn't spicy at all. The quality of the meat in the dishes didn't seem all that great, but it's hard to judge since the food was flavorless.
The entire experience was just disappointing. Adding insult to injury the restaurant didn't send any fortune cookies either! I typically hold restaurants in China town to a higher standard, but Moon Palace failed on every level.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 2Business owner information

Hi Sonya - I'm sorry you had a bad experience with our restaurant. Have you tested yourself and your sister to see if you are COVID positive? One of the primary conditions is loss of smell and taste, which according to your post appears to be the case. I would be deeply concerned and ensure that you are receiving a COVD PCR or Rapid Test if you can. Once you've confirmed your COVID status, I would be happy to see you try our food again (on the house!). We have many happy customers, some who think our food is actually sometimes too flavorful for them...

There are dozens of restaurants to choose from in Chinatown. Why is Moon Palace a favorite? Because they offer the best pot stickers I've ever had. They're huge and juicy, with twice as much filling as any other... and always cooked al dente (overcooking makes pot stickers chewy).
Last Saturday, my friend and I each had an order of pork pot stickers. We split Mongolian beef and a fried rice. The beef was medium rare (perfect) but overpowered by too much sauce. The fried rice was tasty. Their house sauvignon blanc was excellent. Good almond cookies. Great service. And $2 self-parking in Chinatown's gigantic lot.
The big downer was the fortune in my fortune cookie: I already know I'm intelligent and kind... predict when I'm going to inherit a million dollars from a long, lost relative.Helpful 12Thanks 0Love this 11Oh no 0
