Moonstar - Oregon

We found this restaurant online in a small town we had visited lately. Unfortunately not my best dining experience. We sat down to eat our food, we had to prepare our own drinks and find our own utensils. When the food arrived it was barely warm and the vegetables were raw. Rice was ok but not flavorful. The egg rolls were ok but nothing special. Service was a two visit, bring food and bus table. And for two off the menu was over $40. And the only accept cash and check. They did have an ATM but the limit was, you guessed it, $40. Probably not a return for this one. I don't like giving less than stellar reviews but on occasion it will happen.

My family and I have bought food from here many times and it's never consistent. Quality is all over the place. The broth was extremely dark at times, and lighter on others. Same goes for the fried wonton strips, i've had them forget to put any in the bag or only give us one for our entire order. I remember opening a bag and they were floppy and undercooked and the bag was actually sopping wet because the oil they were fried in hadn't dried. For our fortune cookies they've also forgotten to add them to our orders at all plenty of times. Or only give us 1-2. For reference, we order enough food for 3-5 people. We've gotten beef lomaine noodles before and after eating the beef my brother got really sick so we don't order it anymore. Someone else in my family also ordered a dish we didn't usually get and I don't remember what the problem was I only remember offering to cook something else so that he wouldn't be hungry. We actually used to go to a different chinese restaurant but they closed so Moonstar it is.If anyone is reading this to find out if this place is safe to eat/allergy friendly (especially nuts/peanuts) IT IS NOT, of course if you ask they'll say that it is but one ambulance ride later quickly proved them wrong, they're lucky nothing serious happened, that's how people die!!Last time I went here it smelled... bad, thankfully it wasn't that strong but it was similar to the smell you get in a nursing home or your grandma's house, I thought this was weird since restaurants tend to smell like the food the cook so maybe it's one of the ingredients but I wouldn't recommend dining-in if you're sensitive to smellsTLDR: food contamination, food is sometimes undercooked and inedible, don't trust the meat here, the restaurant itself smells kinda bad Dietary restrictions: contaminated food, if you have peanut/nut allergies don't eat here unless you can afford a visit to the hospital

First time here, we have eaten at many Chinese restaurants in Stoughton and Madison and I give this place 5 stars. The food was phenomenal and we had great service. Food was hot and fresh; we dined in. Dining room was clean. The crab Rangoon were completely filled, not those dry ones that have barely any filling and are mostly wonton in all the corners. We won't go anywhere else now. My daughter who is pretty picky (she's 11) loved all of our food and that is a first.

Ordered carryout for the first time. Crab Rangoon were good, as was sweet and sour chicken and beef and broccoli. Chow mei fun was possibly the best we’ve had in the Madison area.

First time I picked up 2 orders of Crab Rangoon and 2 Sesame Chicken— delicious! Last night we placed the same order and the chicken was so dried out and inedible, we threw away 2 orders of Sesame Chicken. Disappointing!!!
