Moon Star — Restaurant in Homewood

Food was ok. The steamed dumplings I ordered were a little bit under cooked. The dough was thick & chewy a little bit. The sauce was on point! Very good, what was left in the little container. The lid wasn't put on all the way,so over half the sauce was spilled out mostly in the bottom of the bag but some of it made it in my dumpling container that the lid also was loose and open. A small amount in my beef fried rice ,the rest in the bottom of the paper bag.😢 It tasted great tho wish it hadn't spilled out. And this is the first place where they charge you for chop sticks that I've come across. Prices were very reasonable. Service was short and direct. They weren't busy at the time of my visit as far as customers in the restaurant. Only a couple of people coming in to order and leave and a few coming in to pick up. Waiting time was fairly reasonable. The food comes to you good and hot.. all in all not a bad place just needs to slow down just a little bit and pay attention to the little details that count. Like making sure all lids are on and stay on , all o the food being cooked throughly and a little bit more of a relaxed smile and how are you...

This place is a hidden gem. Let me start off by saying that the food has been amazing 100% of the time. I have never had a single disappointing dish off of the menu and I've tried a bunch. They're hot, fresh, made to order, and delicious.

With that said, you need to be prepared for some peculiarities. There is, of course, the language barrier. The foreign couple that owns it are very nice, but their English isn't that great. The lady who takes the orders is better at understanding than she is at speaking. She's legible, just be aware that you might have to show a little patience.

Also, the couple's kids stay there in the restaurant when they're not at school. They bring their laptops and sit around studying or playing League of Legends with each other. They've never gotten in my way, but some people might find their presence unusual. Personally, it reminds me that I'm supporting a family owned business. I find that endearing, and I'm even happier to give them...

I couldn’t wait to get home to give this place one star. I was under the impression by some of the pics that the fried rice came with some type of veggie like peas and carrots . Just onion and the greens onions they had to add after the fact . However, my attitude changed once I tasted the food ! I was surprised at how good it taste . Veggies were cooked very well and everything overall had a great taste . I don’t even eat the brown sauce that came with it but as I type I’m tearing it up! Lol Not my first choice for Chinese just due to personal preference (I like my veggies in my friend rice!) . Also I’m use to a larger portion size for what I paid (a little over $16 ) but this was definitely a hit ! The front lady was every patient cause I knew she could tell I was disappointed. I did not try to hide . I will be back to try some other items now that I l now what to expect ! By the way I got the house friend rice and steam...
