August moon is one of my go to lunch spots for Chinese food Uptown. The food is always hot and fresh, and they have fast service as I hardly ever have a long wait for my pick up order. They also give a good amount of food for the lunch special as it comes with the entree and an egg drop soup so you definitely get your money's worth. My favorite entree on their menu is the shrimp and broccoli. It comes with fried rice and a Cho Cho. I must say their Cho Chos are the best I've had, and I sometimes order a side order to enjoy. read more

Love August Moon. Love the lady that takes the phone orders. Love the delivery guy. My department orders from August Moon once a month and we call to make an order at 10:45am. We get our food by 11:45. Food is always fresh, no complaints. Our go to is lunch special general tso chicken, sweet n sour chicken, lemon grass chicken and boneless chicken. Their grilled pork vermicelli and lemon grass shrimp substitute fried rice for vermicelli are also delicious! We like the different substitutions if you didn't want the eggroll. Definitely recommend read more

August Moon - Lunch Lemon Grass Chicken, double rice - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been depressed about the quality of Chinese food in this city ever since moving here many years ago. Having grown up in Chicago, where there is a real Chinatown and so much authentic Chinese cuisine, I feel sad every time I eat Chinese food here. But as a vegetarian, I noticed this place had dishes that are hard to find here, like Sezchuan eggplant, gai lan, and stir-fried string beans. Unfortunately, they don't deliver outside of Uptown. But I noticed they run lunch specials, so I decided to drive over. The place isn't fancy, and it's not very clean, either. It's very basic - that's the only way I can describe it without being rude. But I was more interested in the food than the ambience. I ended up getting a garlic tofu lunch special that came with egg, fried rice and egg drop soup. They are very flexible with doing substitutions for vegans or vegetarians, btw. The soup was great. The vegetarian egg roll was just okay. But the tofu came with vegetables and was outstanding. Very rich and a little heat. They cook their tofu right. It's tender instead of tough. The egg fried rice was really good (you can get white or brown, though). I also needed to try the string beans, which is one of my favorite dishes. It was really delicious here. I would have preferred both dishes a little more spicy, but I did not request spicy. Maybe next time. Oh - the food came out in less than 5 minutes. I don't know how they did that. These aren't the most popular dishes that you can just have pre-made. Whoever they have in the kitchen is extremely fast! Well nothing here can compare to the Chinese food back home, I'll probably continue to drive out to August Moon to try my way through their vegetarian dishes. It's a bit of a drive for a pickup, so I wish they'd develop a larger delivery zone. They're not on Uber or Door Dash. read more

We are vegetarians and very much enjoyed the big selection of available items to eat. We really enjoyed them.

Stupid expensive for basic American Chinese lunch. $26 for a small Gen Tsao (sp?) with an egg roll + drink - but it was Lundi Gras, and you eat where you can walk once you're at your spot. It wasn't bad tasting, but nothing to ever go back for. Tiny crab Rangoon for $7/4pc. Seriously? At least it was warm? I should have planned better and packed a hamper, but its carnival and ain't nobody got time for that. I didn't take a photo of the food, so here's a parade pic... read more

They offer lunch special for 12.95-14.95. I ordered the Moo go gain pan with shrimp, white rice and egg roll. Everything was delish. The sauce was light. The egg roll nice and crunchy! Very good! Service good. And the atmosphere as expected....clean and typical Chinese restaurant. I'd come back. read more

August Moon - L06. General Tao's Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant with some Thai dishes. I tend to get the lunch and dinner specials here or the pho. The food here has improved somewhat over the years and these days it can usually be pretty good but sometimes they seem to drop the ball and it is less than good. They used to have some of the most expensive pho in the area but the other places serving pho seem to have raised their prices to around the same level as here. Most of the time these days the other dishes I've had here have been decent for the most part. They seem to give decent portion sizes (although the portions seem to have shrunk a bit from pre-pandemic days) and the service has always been good. The location of this restaurant is very convenient to where I live and is the nearest place to get my pho fix. Overall this is usually a decent spot to grab a quick meal and currently they are giving out more greens with their pho than any of the other Vietnamese spots in the city. read more

Lady was nice on the phone and in person, very helpful. I got the crab Rangoon and wonton soup which was very delicious. It had large mushrooms in it which I was nervous about but ended up being really good! Definitely will go back and try more! read more

Came here the other day for lunch. I have a friend receiving treatment at Touro Hospital, just a block away, so I walked over here to get some food. I had the egg drop soup and the Vietnamese chicken salad. The egg drop soup was as good as I have had elsewhere. The chicken salad was good but unusual as it had a lot of celery. Food was ready promptly and easy to call in over the phone. The vast majority of their lunch business is takeout! And they are efficient at it. Recommended. They seem to do the basics without issues at pretty good prices -- nothing special but nothing to complain about either!!!! Very convenient for take out to Touro. read more

August Moon - Vietnamese chicken salad. Tastly! - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I wish I could give 0 stars. Insanely high prices for a nasty quality of food. I guarantee this place has roaches.

I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken and it was the worst! The chicken was so hard, sauce too dark, simply inedible.

Every time we order the food is delicious and flavorful. Always consistent. Never disappoints.

Consistency is the name of the game. There's nothing fancy here. Just tried and true recipes. If you're sensitive to salty food, this might not be the place for you. I find all the food here a bit on the salty side. However, that not really a bad thing unless you're sensitive to it. Overall it's an average Chinese food spot. read more

I wouldn't say August Moon is a spot that's going to blow your way or knock your socks off. I will say August Moon does the trick. The food is good. Very reasonably priced. Very convenient spot if you work at the nearby hospital (which I did) and *need* pho. read more

Terrible... not a good item on the order. Wanted Chinese food like we used to get and there food tasted like is Was left over from the past... read more

I'm alway looking for a good vermicelli noodle salad or bowl. August Moon hit the spot. Complimented with a tasty fish sauce it was just the response I needed to my regular dental check up. A tall glass of limeade and I was set for the day. It's an unsuspecting spot but the Deco is nice, the bar is full and the menu has enough items to keep you coming back for more. Awesome lunch spot or Vietnamese craving place. Plus it's reasonably priced. read more

August Moon - N4. Bun Vermicelli Salad - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The inside smelled mildewy, the beef and broccoli was really soggy and limp, couldn't really eat it. The pho was edible. We had planned to dine in, but when we smelled the place we took to go. read more

Gotta give it 5 stars! I a huge fan of simple american chinese food and this absolutely hits the spot. Dishes taste fresh, not too oily, not too saty, and the sauces are nicely balanced. I wont name names, but I'm really confused why August Moon has lower ratings than, ahem, certain other nearby chinese spots. So far this is absolutely the beat classic chinese place I've found uptown! read more

Mandarin chicken lunch special. What is this brown sauce for the friend chicken when I got home? I don't know, but it's not mandarin chicken sauce. Sweet and common and typical of mandarin chicken. I'm sitting here wondering what it is. It taste good, but if you're expecting a sweet orange sauce, it ain't happening with this. Taste is good. read more

I don't eat a ton of Chinese takeout because I haunt various local Asian markets and buy and cook the stuff myself. But a small cooking accident and a burned hand lead me to order out at this South Chinese/Vietnamese place, and I was pretty satisfied with the result. My order was hot and freshly ready in just under ten minutes; I barely had time to hit an ATM around the corner. It wasn't super cheap; I paid for two dishes what I would have paid for three at the cheapest of such places, but the portion sizes were such that I'll get 2.5-3 meals anyway, which is about right for the price. And it was respectable American Chinese cuisine, with my Kung Pao dish highlighted by a mix of vegetables and a decent amount of peanuts, and my lemongrass tofu having the option of noodles or rice with a little salad and separate sauce on the side. Nothing world-beating (and if I wanted to, I could get mad at them for their spicy dishes not being particularly hot), but I got a good meal. For some reason it came in styrofoam containers rather than the typical Chinese food cartons, and I was instructed to hold the bag level to avoid spillage; even being cautious, there was still a bit of sauce on the bottom of the bag. If they wanted five stars from me, they could do things like improve those containers or not sneak broccoli into dishes where it isn't listed or offer non-soy vegetarian dishes for variety, but their menu now isn't bad. Their online menu proudly proclaims that the dishes in its vegetarian section are "prepared with vegetarian ingredients", which sounds redundant until you realize that Chinese places can and will sneak in something that isn't. So I appreciate that notification, and will most likely order something else from that menu the next time I decide I want Chinese takeout. read more

Who doesn't like Chinese? I mean there is people who don't but that's not me so let's move on. I pass by every day to get to work but I never stop in for lunch but this time I did. I took advantage of the lunch menu and boy was I surprised. You get ALLOT of food like more than enough to bring home later. I order the shrimp fried rice with the honey chicken and did the egg drop soup. Now that soup ooh ooh ooh it just did something to me with the crunchy noodles. The bring a ton like some restaurants where they only have 2-3 its plate full of little smalls ones like a little mountain. Now the rice and chicken where okay iv had better rice but it was really good I didn't have to add soy sauce because when I did I noticed it got real salty in that area. That honey chicken was almost perfect. Nicely breaded not to thick or thin you know sometimes you end up with more bread than chicken. This was a nice ratio making for the perfect combo. read more

August Moon - Chinese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This long time uptown favorite has lost it's appeal. Maybe it's the increase of options in the area that have opened me and others to better chinese food but I am no longer a fan. We most recently ordered take out for lunch. 4 of us ordered different styles of food, and yet, they all looked exactly the same. Hunan, shrimp & veggies, and kung pao all seemed to have the same lack luster brown sauce and undercooked filler vegetables. The fried rice was good and the egg rolls were fat and decent but didn't make up for the main course. Bottom line, with so many great options, I probably won't go out of my way to order here again. read more

We order frequently from August Moon on Prytania. The food is always excellent, hot and delivered in about 20 minutes. Best Chinese food uptown! read more

I have never been disappointed in their food. My favorite is the Sweet &Sour Shrimp Combo Plate.

All I can say is WOW. This is the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. Grotesque in every way imagenable, insulting to my stomach and palate. The Health Inspector needs to be called immediately. I hope I don't get sick after eating this garbage... read more

Place is nice, service was pleasant although I ordered take out, my issue I didn't get what I ordered, as well as the food was not good to me at all. This wasn't my first time ordering cant quite remember what I had previously, can't recall it not being appetizing VERY DISAPPOINTING. read more

August Moon's food delivery has been on point all throughout COVID times! Their lunch specials are delicious, cooked fresh to order, and delivered hot! (I live close by) Their chicken fried rice is the best I've ever had, with lost of crispy fried egg, tender chicken, and veggies. I always get the boneless fried chicken (sauce/veggies on the side) and it arrives crispy and delicious each time! Amazing egg rolls also! August Moon has really become the best consistent Chinese food in New Orleans! read more

A standard bearer Uptown. Family owned authentic Vietnamese and Chinese food originating from one kitchen. They still have the freshest, largest Mai Tais and the best quality Won Ton soup in town .... since the 90s. Their delivery service is prompt with large steaming portions and a friendly smile. A classic favorite that only gets better. Popular for decades for good reason. read more

Best chinese food in Uptown.. The food came out really fast if you need a quick lunch meal. I love the padthai and the crispy walnut shrimp. Recommend this place to anyone!! 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. Tried something new, too. THE FOOD: Started with Chinese egg rolls, which I LOVE!!! The in-house hot mustard kicks butt! The heat just pops in your nose..love it. The egg rolls are fat and crispy and burst with flavors of cabbage and veggies and pork. I tried fried tofu for the first time. Very bland on its own, the sauce is also mild. Little slices of red and orange peppers don't add much. It was good the next day mixed with other leftovers. My entree was Kung pao beef. Disappointed because it was not spicy at all. 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 love August Moon! I have been ordering delivery lately, and every single order has been on-point. I'm a vegetarian, so I have to mention their tofu and vegetable options are quite good. Delivery is fast, order is correct and you even get a friendly hello from the delivery driver. I mean, what else could you ask for?! Give this place a try, it is really quite good. read more

Not really good and fairly expensive....I got the honey chicken and was thoroughly dissapointed

We placed a big order for delivery, which was well packaged and arrived earlier than I was expecting. All portions were larger than I was expecting, also. The appetizers were good- steamed pork dumplings and grilled summer rolls. Tasted fresh and had good flavors. We were split on the entrees. The Chicken Panang Curry was nicely spicy and very tasty. The vegetables and chicken were oddly large in size but tender enough to cut with a fork. The hot & sour soup that came as a side was bright yellow and weirdly sweet. I did not enjoy it but it was full of veggies. The Shrimp Pad Thai was not successful. It was very sweet and had no discernible spice to it. The tofu also seemed a little tough. Will probably avoid the thai choices if I order from here again. read more

TASTES LIKE A USED ERASER I had just thrown away about $40 of inedible slop from LA Thai on Prytania but was still craving Asian. My only nearby option was August Moon because everybody uptown knows that Jung's is the worst Chinese in the city and Green Tea is the worst in the known universe. This place is just marginally better because the food looks tastier, but in actuality it's just as bland and over-priced as the others. I THREW IT ALL AWAY After spending $30 on crab Rangoon, house fried rice and sweet & sour chicken...I had a bite of all and determined that not even a cup of Sriracha would resuscitate any of it...so out to the dumpster. ONE STAR = RECOMMENDED CLOSURE But this place seems to always be closed anyway. 3 days for Easter? What? Are they Chick-Fil-A? Or maybe they are the uptown equivalent of Royal Pharmacy, Joe's Liquor, Castillo's... read more

It's just honest and simple good American Chinese food. I ordered the Saigon Crisp Roll, Veggie Spring Roll, and Honey Chicken. The Saigon was okay. The star of the meal was the Honey Chicken. It was a satisfying savoring and sweet meal that filled me up pretty quickly. The Spring Roll was a really good fresh companion to the Honey Chicken. I will probably order from this place again... I don't know what because their menu is pretty extensive and makes it so hard to choose what to order! I say give yourself about 15 minutes to look over the menu. read more

For our visit, we had no trouble finding a street parking right outside the restaurant. Staffs were friendly and inviting. All the dishes were soooooo good! We had: -Crabmeat and asparagus soup--this was a nice starter. Lightly flavored. Not bland and not salty. Perfectly made in the middle. -Bo Luc Lac--the meat was soft, tender and full of juice. Bite-sized potatoes complimented the dish. All sat on a bed of fresh vegetables. This was my fav dish to eat with rice. -Crab Rangoon--crispy with warm cream cheese and real crab. Hubby loved that the most! -Lemongrass shrimp--lightly flavored and so wonderful to my palate. -Fried Banana--this one is a must try. Just enough of the fried and the banana. It's even better with ice cream! Overall, I'm content with my experience and the delicious food. Will return soon ^_^ read more

In my constant search to find decent pho and bun without crossing a bridge, I stopped into August Moon which claims in HUGE letters on their sign on Prytania Street to be Chinese AND Vietnamese- IN HUGE letters!! Their menu, however, says otherwise, they are more of a Chinese restaurant with a very few Vietnamese options thrown in, and weakly, and a dollar or more more than my favorite places on the west bank. I happened to be in the neighborhood for a doctors appointment so we stopped in for lunch and ordered spring rolls and bun (some pretty basic stuff). The spring rolls were filled with overcooked rice vermicelli. Not so surprising then was my bun which was also filled with overcooked rice vermicelli. The grilled meat was flavorful enough, but overall the dish was not as good as most places serving this very basic Vietnamese lunch. The place had a bit of a weird smell as we entered, which I eventually got used to, but it wasn't a nice smell. The servers were pretty oblivious to our needs as they all sat down at a corner table to eat their lunch. There was no- 'how is everything?' or 'do you need anything else?'. We had to get up and go to the front counter to get a box so as not to disturb the lunch of our waitress. And, the search continues... read more

This is a good mix of Vietnamese and Chinese, the lemon grass shrimp is out of this world!

This review is for delivery only...never ate at the restaurant. Food came lightening fast...I was starving so the promptness made me instantly happy! Food was above your standard Chinese delivery fare. The sauces and vegetables were fresh tasting, not frozeny and/or bottled. The hubby even said, "this is good," which, for him, is a lot. I'm a vegetarian, and I had plenty of options. Awesome - definitely recommend! read more
