East Moon Asian Bistro

The service was good, and the food exceeded our expectations. The General Tso's chicken was delicious, and the scallops were very good. The complimentary salad was also a nice touch and tasted great. Our only negative observation was the dried rice—it came molded in the shape of a plastic container, which made it look like it had been sitting pre-packaged for some time. Improving the presentation of the rice would make a big difference, especially since everything else was plated so well.

We’re new to the area from a very Asian neighborhood in Southern California and went to East Moon Asian Bistro for the first time after shopping in the area. We entered around dinner time and I saw the signage at the hostess desk about Chinese pork bun (something I loved while living in SoCal) so I was hoping the server would elaborate. Sadly, that didn’t happen and the lack of communication and customer service would be a constant reoccurrence this evening. I liked that being seated (in a booth for the two of us) was quick and that we were given salad with sesame dressing and a glass of water almost immediately. The ambience and decor was nice too. The restroom was also clean. I didn’t like sitting for nearly 20-30 minutes afterwards with no server returning for our order. When the server did come back around, she didn’t say hello, introduce herself, ask if this was our first time or recommend anything from the menu. She also rushed us by trying to take our menus before we had finished ordering. We ordered a Japanese beer, an East Moon alcoholic drink, udon noodles with beef (to share and for home), a happy family entree and a Thai lemongrass meat entree. We would’ve asked for a sushi or appetizer order to eat there and a pork bun order to go BUT our server didn’t seem to want to hear it. I tried to ask a question to signal for her to slow down and communicate but she whirled away without answering. She came back to deliver the drinks, then the food and once more at the end of the meal when she asked if we wanted more water when it would have been more appropriate to ask whether we wanted dessert, to-go boxes and the check. A check-up on water and the current food should have been conducted midway through the meal. Again, I would’ve liked to order pork buns to go but wasn’t given - again - the opportunity before our server was gone again without communicating. After ordering, I went to the restroom to wash up. I was pleased to find it was clean. Upon return to the table, I was also pleased to find these HUGE portions of food - and it was delicious! Overall, we’re getting closer to finding delicious Asian food here in Maryland that compares to my Chinese, Japanese and Korean community in Los Angeles, California but too bad service here was lackluster (long wait til ordering, no intro, no follow-up and rushed). The food was very good and given in generous portions but the dine-in service makes take-out seem like a blessing.

It was truly exceptional. The sesame chicken and Mongolian beef were both incredibly delicious, with the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The sesame chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a savory sauce that had just the right amount of sweetness and nuttiness from the sesame seeds. The Mongolian beef was also cooked to perfection, with juicy, tender beef that was seasoned perfectly and served with a flavorful sauce that was both savory and slightly spicy. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant was also lovely, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this Asian restaurant to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Asian cuisine. The sesame chicken and Mongolian beef were both standout dishes, and I would give this restaurant 5 stars without hesitation.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. We got the chicken coconut soup, beef drunken noodles, sesame chicken, and Mongolian beef. Everything tasted really good. If I were being picky, I'd say the Mongolian beef was my least favorite and wouldn't get a 5 star. Drunken noodles is one of my favorite dishes in general, and this one did hit the spot! The service was great, and I felt it was a very kid-friendly place. It's in a nice location with plenty of parking as well.

New to area and this was first restaurant we tried! We went on a Saturday afternoon. We were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. They have great lunch deals! Loved that they brought us out a side salad and water right away. They salad dressing was amazing! I believe it was Sesame. I loved my sushi!!!!
