Main Moon restaurant doesn't hold a candle to Johnny s Chinese food in Waterville. I stopped in to grab egg rolls to go. I ordered vegetable egg rolls, which consisted of shredded cabbage in wraps.

The first order we did here we also got lo mein, egg rolls and pork fried rice. The egg rolls are yummy and big not like the small greasy ones that have been floating around at other chinese restaurants. I was not a fan of the lo mein or pork fried rice.
The second time we ordered we got mei fun instead of lo mein and it's the best mei fun I've experienced. Since eating here any time I get chinese food cravings this is the location that comes to mind first. It's quickly becoming...
