Autumn Moon Chinese Buffet

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!

Pretty decent buffet for the price not that big a selection what would they have is good and the employees are very nice

1st timer here! Me and the boyfriend just moved to mesa and seen this in the neighborhood I have to agree with alot of the reviews. Its delicious! Yes its a small place yes the menu option is small but, the quality totally on point! Usually get one extreame or the other with rice and lo mien either its too bland or too much spice not here. Its in that perfect middle. I was concerned at 1st since the rice and noodles were pretty light looking but don't let the color fool you. Yes they charge for soda refills but you get tea and water for free and do you really need 5 refills of soda? Just saying all and all id def recommend 👌

Not a ton of options but everything is very good! I came at around 2pm, probably not a great time to get fresh food, but everything was hot and had good texture. The egg rolls stand out as my favorite item. I will definitely be coming back.
