Autumn Moon Chinese Buffet Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Giving stars not on quality, but on speed and the amount of food you get for about $5. I order it take out and eat a meal out of the container and have enough left over for lunch the next day. Its not amazing, but strangely addictive.

    I've lived in the Southeast Valley since my parents brought me here as a two-year-old in 1977, and I've been eating at the Autumn Moon for almost as long. I ate here as a toddler when Jimmy Carter was president, gas was under a dollar a gallon, and leisure suits were still in vogue. The Autumn Moon doesn't have a huge selection, and the food isn't spectacular, but it's not bad either, and you get all of it that you can eat for under 10 bucks. My personal favorite is the orange chicken; it's the first thing I load my plate up with when I eat here. The pepper steak is pretty decent, too. They also have some broccoli-and-beef dish that I like well enough. I've never been a fan of the sweet-and-sour pork here, but I think that's because I probably just don't like sweet-and-sour pork in general (this is the only place I've ever tried the sweet-and-sour pork and so I have nothing to compare it to; for the record I know several other people who like AM's sweet-and-sour pork just fine.) I also don't like the lemon chicken here but, again, that's probably my fault and not the restaurant's. Incidentally, In all my 30 some-odd years of eating here I don't remember ever seeing so much as a single roach anywhere in this place. The bathrooms can be pretty dirty sometimes, but they're not cooking any food in there so who the fuck cares? And yes, there are a lot of fat people who eat here. I advise readers of this review to ignore the food snobs and other naysayers who are posting all the negative reviews. This place has managed to stay in business for almost 40 years now; the people running it must be doing something right. Bottom line, the Autumn Moon deserves a solid (and respectable) three-star rating and you will definitely get your money's worth out of it. In fact, It's probably the best Chinese buffet you'll find in the Phoenix area in this price range.

    The stars are for the service. Very nice and hospitable. If you're looking for quality Chinese food you are in the wrong place. Definitely get what you pay for. When I came here the noodles were burn, rice was stale, and the meats were swimming in sauce which made the chicken and pork either way to sweet or way to salty. I'm not saying don't come here...just be prepared :)

    This place was awful!! I had way better Chinese buffet! The only item was able to eat was the soggy broccoli beef! First and last time there with my coworkers! The orange chicken was more bread then chicken and let alone zero orange flavor!

    Awful, awful, awful. I had a complete lapse of judgment and picked up a meal here. Don't repeat my mistake. The food is low quality, drowning in badly made sauces, and not even close to healthy. Chinese can be done well, but this isn't it. It's a shame that so many vegetables were wasted in a poor attempt to make these dishes. It's not a buffet -- it's counter where you point and they scoop. There are around five entrees, rice and noodles. You can sit down in a sticky booth or just take your styrofoam container with you.

    I have grown up eating Autumn Moon. It was a tradition growing up when we would put up a Christmas tree we would watch Dust Til Dawn and get Autumn Moon. This happened several years in a row by accident. But anyways, I love Autumn Moon. We got my 5-year-old niece hooked on it too. I took several friends there to eat and we all love it. My family has dined in and did carry out, we order double meat (extra charge) for carry out. My mom and dad love dining in because they get the delicious hot tea. I get water (how can water be stale? From a previous reviewer), water is water. I learned to love and eat broccoli because of Autumn Moon. Their Chow Mein is delicious, their broccoli, egg rolls dipped in their sweet and sour sauce that comes in the chicken is delicious. My double meat is usually the sweet and sour chicken and the lemon chicken with the lemon sauce (add the sauce to the noodles, so good!). Plus the chips. My niece makes a noodle/chip sandwich and loves their orange chicken as it isn't spicy (like Panda) and she loves it. My mom gets their orange chicken and pepper steak, depending on the bite or who makes the pepper steak it can be okay or it can be spicy. I have never been sick from Autumn Moon, never had raw food. Never had under cooked food. Everything has been hot and delicious. My family has eaten their so much they know us there. So, for the people who have gotten sick from it, I don't know why. It isn't the greatest but it's cheap and whether you do the buffet or do carry out, they load up the carton that it's almost overflowing. The restaurant is quiet, little, it's worn (not really dingy as it's been there for as long as I can remember). I love it, but I guess to each their own. If you are expecting Panda Express, NO. Sushi? NO. They have a small menu as they are a small place. Rice, chow mein, egg roll, egg fu whatever, lemon chicken, orange chicken, pepper steak, some bbq type thing, sweat and sour pork, and the chips. There might me one or two other's I'm missing but whatever. The soda glasses are just simple regular glass, you get one drink then pay for refills (which is why I get water) but the tea is refillable. The food is not salty, not spicy (except for the occasional pepper steak). This isn't a high class Chinese food place, but a simple small family owned and operated Chinese buffet. One that you would find in a small corner of China Town or downtown China that is a well known secret. I have never had any complaints, both from family, friends or stomach (I might just have a stronger stomach than many of the reviews). I will continue to eat there for as long as it is there.

    Lovely staff and A one service. Always filling your waters. Food was replenished often. The place was clean. Now for the food. First let me tell you that the price is $6.50 for all you can eat. You would spend more at McDonald's or Burger King. Limited variety but for $6.50 it was fine. Selection was chow mein noodles, sweet and sour pork, BBQ chicken, veggie fried rice, Beef with broccoli (really broccoli with beef, LOL), pepper steak, egg rolls, orange chicken, lemon chicken, egg fu young hockey pucks, wonton chips. This is NOT gourmet Chinese food. Gourmet chinese food would be $14.99 for one entree plus tax and tip. So for you guys that knock the hell out of this place, think about that. Dishes I liked: Broccoli (garlicky and not over cooked) chow mein noodles were not greasy veggie fried rice not greasy and fresh Beef and peppers nice taste BBQ chicken pretty good Wontons were not greasy. Crispy. egg rolls were veggie and not greasy Did not like Orange or lemon chicken because of the thick, thick crust. If you don't mind a heavy crust, it's good. We were hungry, saw the place (which does not look good from the outside because of dirty greenhouse windows) and took a chance. Would not travel to get here again, but these are decent, honest working people serving up fresh food.

    Ok, so a lot of negative reviews but the great thing about buffets is that if you don't like one thing you just grab something else. I had the egg fu young, orange chicken, chicken chow mein, and a beef dish (I think it was pepper beef... I honestly don't remember). The food wasn't popping with flavor but honestly, it didn't need to. It was good. And the orange chicken was some of the best I've had. Also, unlike a lot of "Chinese" food, it wasn't salty, which is nice. It had enough flavor to be enjoyable. My only real complaint about the food was the lack of a selection. But even with the small selection I found food that I liked. The service is what makes this place special. The woman serving us was always quick to replenish our drinks. Always friendly. She really made you feel your business was appreciated. Their service is the number one reason why I would return. I dined in but I saw several order takeout. The employees will fill the to-go container for you but they are not stingy at all. So if you're hungry and want something quick to go, this could be a good place for you.

    Have been eating here since I was a toddler. They may not have a huge selection, but what they do have, they do just the way I like it.

    Don't know what my deal is but I love me some dirty little chinese buffet food. I have eatin it all around the world. Except for china (ironically enough) and I've yet to find a gem like this one hidden away on country club drive in Mesa, AZ U.S. And A.

    They don't really have variety of selections to choose from. Their chow mein was super dry. The place was too small and had too much flies in it. None of their food was hot when ordered. Food was cold. This place is just awful. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    Ah, Autumn Moon. What are we supposed to think of a buffet restaurant that has 67% 1-Star ratings? Well, if you're a nut like me, you whip right over there! Ok, so I dropped in at lunchtime to taste this BM, ur, I mean AM. (Sorry!) Whatever it is, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first: * There were only 11 food items, plus one sauce... no soup or salad! (Does the infamous Mike Kwan own this place?) * The supposed Egg Foo Young was that bogus hockey puck thing you see once in a while, rather than a little round omelet with brown or yellow gravy to put on top. (Now we're down to 10 items, including Fried Won Ton, which belongs in the soup they don't have. Minus that, so now we're down to 9 items.) Ok, let's touch on the good things before they get down to zero! * It's a mid-sized cafe sort of a place, & reasonably comfortable. My server, a Senior lady, was nice, & she brought me some robust hot tea (free), plus a couple of refills, & also a pitcher of ice water. (No, the food wasn't salty.) * Wow, Spam Lo Mein! Now, instead of driving 20-some miles up to Lim's to get it, I can drive 20-some miles over HERE to get it! :-O * The Lemon Chicken was great! (What's THAT doing here?) Ok, so despite what you read from the other reviewers here, AM blows right past 1-Star, all the way to TWO STARS! Well, ok... "It blows", for short. :-) Lunch Buffet $5.31, & it's been blowing, ur, I mean "Serving Mesa since 1976" according to the sign out front. Meanwhile, while it's doing whichever of those, why don't you just break down & spend another $2.08 down the street at Ocean Buffet, & have a lunch you'll love? :-))

    place is okay for what it is. low price chinese food for fat people on a budget. for about 6 bucks you get a styrofoam plate filled with your choice of entrees and sides up the whazoo. the decoration sucks and the place needs a remodel big time. they have about 7 entrees with 3 sides and 2 soups. soda is a dollar with 25cent refills.

    This is quite frankly one of the most disgusting chinese buffets I have visited. The food had nothing redeeming about it and was very cold. It was also extremely limited on selection. I am not extremely picky with chinese buffet - I'm a huge fan of even the mediocre ones- but this place is worse than bad. I would avoid it at all costs.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
