August Moon Restaurant

heard lots of good things about this Rest. so I went to try it one day but it was not good at all. Over rated!!! more

August Moon has one of the best values at lunch in Green Hills. The quality is quite average and the insipid pseudo-Chinese music piped in might make you gulp down your food, but you will feel quite satisfied for several hours. The steamed dumplings are fabulous. As others have said, this is also a great take-out place. Lots of food for little money. more

The music they play in the background reminds me of old nintendo games (or perhaps old nintendo games use traditional chinese music?). Anyhow, the restaurant is rarely crowded, and the booths are private, and the artwork is pretty.\r \r The food is fine, but the atmosphere is where this place really shines. more

Maybe I have too high of standards for Chinese food. But as a Chinese grew up eating traditional Chinese foods and living in the Bay Area (San Jose/San Francisco) in California where there are thousands of Chinese restaurants, many specialized in one type of Chinese cooking styles, I have to say I haven?t found a Chinese restaurant in Nashville that I ?want? to go back to.\r \r The food at August Moon is basically put ting all ingredients in the wok, stir fry it, and add pre-made sauce which is way too sweet ? even though I ordered a spicy dish ? so some of the vegetable is overcooked. The dinnerware is very cheap, the service is slow, and I have to wait for hot tea after I am half done with my plate.\r \r I am new to Nashville. If any Chinese reads this review, PLEASE let me know where I can find a Chinese restaurant serving ?traditional? Chinese foods. more

There are not enough wonderful things that I can write about August Moon. Not only is it the best food, but it is the best deal. This is a great spot to order carry out from. It is fast and always spot on. I wish that they did delivery. If you ever go in to eat, you will truly be amazed! This place is so clean, and the staff is always so friendly. I highly recommend taking a look at their drink menu, if you are dining in or waiting on a carry out order. Their drinks are affordable and the best in town. I highly recommend the Zombie drink, it is the most delicious cocktail. Also, if you ever need a power lunch, this is the spot to do it. Pros: Food, Service, Drinks, Everything!!!! more

Great Chinese buffet on sunday only. Not your typical buffet but a much smaller and fresher selection. I can take my family (wife and 3 kids) and eat for under 30 with a tip. I love the lunch during the week also. Very good quality for the money. Yes i have had a lot better chinese food but not for this kind of money. VALUE!!! Interior looks like about every other dated chinese resteraunt but who cares you not expecting pf changs anyway. Check it out more

Just got take-out. Seems that's te bread and butter of the place. Good value and GREAT FOOD! Everything was very well done. Great Americanized Chinese. Pros: Value, Quality, Speed Cons: Decor is very tired. more

August Moon is the perfect alternative for people not wanting a buffet and not wanting to spend too much money. As with most places, the lunch menu is a little cheaper than dinner. The food is very good, and the crab wontons are some of the best around! The staff could use some lessons on ambience, but otherwise the service is fairly good. I like the atmosphere...the restaurant looks nice and not cheap. Pros: Inexpensive, Great food, Good atmosphere more

Definitely not for the ""...OOHH dey gots Crab Legs on the buffet!!"" crowd, this eatery has a great lunch menu. - and it's enexpensive as well. Although dinner prices can get a little high. I've been there tons of times for lunch and dinner and have never had service problems. This is not a ""rush in, rush out"" kind of place, although they will get your food out in a timely manner. It's just good food at a decent price. All you goobers stick to the ""Buffet!!"" with little kids putting their fingers in the LoMein- i'll go to August Moon. Pros: luch prices more

The best in Nashville, probably the most authentic Chinese food in the city. Pros: Great Food, Nice Atmosphere, Good Location more

One of the best things I can say about August Moon is that it is NOT a buffet. Everything is cooked fresh (allegedly) and they will take requests for items that are not on the menu. One of my favorites is MaPo tofu, and they do it very well here. I only wish the side dishes of fried rice were freshly-fried vs. apparently served from either a rice cooker or steam table. The soups are excellent - Hot and Sour is very good, and the service is usually good, but can be slow between 1:00PM and 3:00PM M-F. Pros: In Green Hills, Near offices, malls Cons: Parking is difficult more

The food at August Moon is really good, but the service has been horrible the past three times I visited. On a Saturday last year, our waitress got into a screaming match with the owner--while she was waiting on our table!! The restaurant was pretty empty, so they probabaly figured that it wouldn't matter. I subsequently visited hoping the incident was isolated; however, this time the service was just as bad. The restaurant needs more waitresses b/c they spent their time rushing us out and it was nowhere near closing time. more

My husband and I love eating here for lunch. It is great food, service, and not crowded. Easy to get to from downtown if you come in by Lipscomb. Their food is always good and the waitresses are very nice. Don't know how it is for dinner, as we live about 40 miles outsided of Nashville, but for lunch...super! more

I am shocked to see this restaurant on the top 10. I have eaten at this restaurant and it is off my list of choices. Last time we went the Wonton Soup had a taste to it that I couldn't figure out... It was almost sweet. The food was not what I ordered, nor was the food my friend ordered. more

August Moon is a Green Hills staple when it comes to Chinese food. Seemingly does a good carryout business and is never very crowded. Has a bar but not really conducive to drinking. Parking is easy out front. Ask for something away from the window unless you enjoy people watching you eat from the sidewalk out front. more
