Full Moon City — Restaurant in The Hague

Came here again in April 2023. Quality of the dim sum was not as great as last time we came here (review below) Most of the steamed dim sum was dry (shrimp dumpling, siu mai) and the stir fry beef with noodle was not tasty at all. The turnip cake with xo sauce was probably the only dish that was good. Degraded from 4 to 3 stars. Gonna try some place else next time.

According to the Chinese grapevine, a lot of people like Full Moon City In the Hague so we decided to give it a try. First off, the food was a four star. The portions are good, presentation is good, the taste was overall nice but a tiny bit bland for some dishes. Especially the dishes that had rice noodle in it. The shrimp in the "ha kau" was tasty but would have been better with some bamboo shoots in it. The siu mai with chicken and truffle was delicious! The stir fry rice noodle with beef was nice but was missing what we in Cantonese would call "wok air". The steamed buns were nice as well, although the lotus paste bun had more "bun" than filling. We ordered swiftly upon sitting down and the food came very quickly.

Regarding the staff and restaurant setting, Full Moon City gets 2-3 star rating. There is little space between the tables and even the staff had to maneuver through them. The staff was not friendly and some of them looked as if (what we could say in Cantonese) the whole world owed them money. It's not any different if we go for dim sum in Hong Kong but I still get annoyed by it...

The tea cost 2,95 per person according to the bill, although they charged us as 1 person even though there were 3 of us. It's important to note that they charge 50 cent for their environment friendly take away boxes (per piece) and 10 ct for a plastic bag. So be aware of that when you decide to keep the leftovers. We used only 2 of 3 take away boxes we initially asked for and decided to use our own bag instead of theirs. We made it clear to the waitress when she came with the bill. Despite that we still needed to ask her to adjust the bill and deduct the unused...

We had our office Chinese New Year lunch at Full Moon City in The Hague, and it was one of the best meals I have organised for the team. The entire experience was smooth and efficient. We had pre-ordered in advance, and when I went the day before to make sure everything was right, Alex from the staff was super helpful in adjusting the quantities so we would have enough variety without going overboard. When we arrived, the starters were already served within minutes, along with hot tea.

The food…wow! We had #TjaSeiuw woe kok, baked bean curd rolls, #hagao, vegan #chichow, koeloyu fish, beef with bami, vegetarian tofu clay pot, chicken with honey and pepper sauce, and vegan shiitake dumplings. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The portions were very generous, and when we could not finish everything, the staff brought us boxes so we could each pack something to enjoy later.

A highlight was the fish—when it was served, one of the staff members immediately offered to help fillet it, and he did such a fantastic job that we could savour every bite without any effort.

The restaurant offers vegan, vegetarian, and even halal options if needed, which makes it a great spot for diverse groups. The space is large, with many Chinese families dining there, which is always a good sign. There are also escalators for those who cannot use the stairs.

The only minor downside is that some staff members seemed a bit rushed or less smiley at times, especially when it got busy. But overall, the service was efficient, and the food absolutely delivered.

Highly recommend Full Moon City for anyone craving authentic Chinese food...
