| - Simply put, Golden Moon is not good and it's not terrible per se....it's edible, pretty 'meh' food. I did not eat in the restaurant, but ordered it off of Skip the Dishes. I ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, dumplings, and veggie spring rolls.
The dumplings were the so called highlight of the meal, but did not come with any edible dumpling sauce. There were two sauces in my dumpling box - one I assume was supposed to be sweet and sour sauce that smelled like terrible alcohol and the other, a spicy paste.
I prefer when my sweet and sour chicken does not come pre-sauced so that the breading on the meat doesn't get soggy, but this is my personal preference.
The beef and broccoli was extremely mediocre. The beef looked old and haggard; and the seasoning was something left to be desired.
It's also worth noting that none of the food came with rice. Perhaps this is the norm in Calgary, but now where I'm from in Houston, TX. Although, I never eat the rice anyways, but this may be an important point for some people.
Despite the subpar food, it did come within a reasonable amount of time and it was piping hot. However, this is not enough to persuade me to eat from this establishment again. Save your money and eat elsewhere.
