Established 1976, Autumn Moon may indeed be the original Chinese buffet in the Valley. The recipes, the architecture, and signage all smack of the hopeful simplicity of its day. The rice and chow mein, pale with the age before Yellow 5 became the stock standard... at least 3 of the chicken dishes are based on the fried and battered example seen here, which is fine considering how good it and the accompanying sauces are. Nothing there disappointed. The atmosphere, the other patrons, even the soda water had a certain charm. By the end, I was satisfied with the knowledge that I had consumed recipes likely unchanged in 48 long years. Another feature on the floor of the Valley... worn by dust and time, yet undiminished.

This is literally a hole-in-the-wall kinda place with hands down the very best Chinese Food in the entire PHX Valley!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All they need to do is just spend some money to renovate the entire building and get it all newly refurbished. But the “food quality” itself is extraordinary!!!! They also definitely need to bring an Autumn Moon to Kingman, Arizona ASAP…….we desperately NEED this kind of food up here in northwestern AZ!
