New Ming Moon Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Philipstown

I normally write my reviews on yelp but figured as I was having difficulty deciding whether to pop by based on the reviews that I would leave my experience. Popped up to Cold Spring for the weekend from NYC after a long day in Beacon I returned and was famished. Nothing hits like a Chinese takeout at the end of the day. I chose the sesame chicken combo plate. Glad I did. The egg roll was standard issue bonus points for being straight out of the fryer. The fried rice was also solid. The sesame chicken is spicy (which I knew from reading the menu but for some I could see that being a surprise. Not spicy like a ghost pepper spicy but for those who are sensitive to even the slightest tingle of the tongue). Indeed very tasty. I called the order in and the person who answered said will be complete in ten minutes. Wow so quick. I popped right by and he was finishing up. Inside is a selection of Knick knack items for sale which was a nice surprise. It may not be a place for an upscale date night but the taste of the food for takeout hits. Cashier/cook/and I assume owner was a nice guy as well. Can tell he is working hard and still manages a smile. Bonus points.

TLDR: if you are craving your Chinese takeout go to order. I don’t think you will be...

The food was pretty bad and the owner(s) were not really welcoming. We ordered the General Tso chicken, schezwan chicken, and fried chicken wings. The General Tso was pretty salty. The Schezwan chicken was very bland and the chicken tasted weird. We also ordered Fried Rice for all our dishes and were served white rice and some weird yellow rice that was supposedly "Plain fried rice" there was nothing fried about this rice, y'all. It was just yellow. We wanted to add a 4th dish to our order because we like trying different things and the owner refused to put it in. Saying "that's enough food" which is wild, because if we are paying for said food and will be eating it; then I don't see a reason why it was refused. Anyway, We are glad it was because I don't think we could stomach a 4th dish. Overall the food was really greasy and flavorless (other than it being salty). I do not recommend eating here. There are plenty of other places in Cold Spring that are 100 times...

Updated: When I ordered a lunch special I ask the guy at the front cash or credit does it matter he said no then I looked at my receipt afterwards and he charged me a “non cash adjustment” basically an extra fee for using my debit card....this was never communicated to me...!!!!!! Beware

First time ordering a lunch special here since I was In the area. Chicken broccoli white rice. Even though it was A good lunch special at 6.95 there were only a couple of pieces of chicken. Very unfortunate this was the case as you need to provide a good portion regardless of lunch special or not If you want repeat customers and good reviews. Came with a wonton soup or soda. Soup was good food was good except the Chicken...
