New Moon Villa Restaurant

Ordered via Uber Eats for in-store pickup. The first thing that is striking about the in-store experience is the stench of cigarette smoke. Important if you’re planning to sit and eat there. As for the food, I ordered only chicken fried rice and it’s definitely a solid portion for the price. That said, it’s devoid of flavor or spice. I have to give them credit for it not being overly oily like many places’ fried rice, but it could use more seasoning or sauciness for sure.

Worst Chinese restaurant in Boston’s Chinatown. As the only Chinese food option available past 2 AM in Boston, New Moon Villa might seem like an enticing choice after a night out. However, I've fallen into this trap multiple times and always regretted it after just a couple of bites. Located slightly outside of Chinatown in an area with little foot traffic, it’s no surprise that I rarely see people dining in. The quality of their food is the lowest I've encountered among Chinatown restaurants, and it was clear why it’s not a popular spot for dine-in. Every single item I’ve gotten from my past few takeouts, except for the white rice, has been underwhelming. The salt and pepper entrées, like the wings and spareribs, had decent seasoning, but the brittle and sharp bone pieces suggested they were old, frozen meats. The Szechuan Twice-Cooked Pork was drowning in sauce, with pork portions so small it felt more like a hide-and-seek game than a meal. For the price, I expected a lot more pork and a lot less sauce and vegetables. The Chinese Sausage Fried Rice was downright nasty and inedible due to its pungent smell. When I opened the box, it hit me with an odor reminiscent of dishwasher steam. While it tasted slightly better than it smelled, I couldn’t get past the stench and ended up tossing most of it. If you're craving some rice, I’d recommend sticking with the plain white rice. Probably won't be ordering from here again. If you're really craving some late-night Chinese takeout, I'd suggest hitting up places like Jumbo Seafood before 2 AM.

JUST LEFT !!! Food was cooked fresh to order, spare ribs, Fried dumpling, scallion pancakes, "shredded chicken" which was sliced, and beef Lomain, 2 waters (we expected glasses of water [free]@ most places, we received bottled, which we didnt ask for)(( $4.00)) our bill came to 61.50 plus 17.00. For what??? They add money where they can, adding waters we didn't order, plus tipping themselves. . . Like what?? No, you rushed us out. For was good, like perfect drunk food. But WATCH YOUR CHECK!! THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR ANYTHING THEY CAN AND ANYTHING THEY WANT. We relied when the table behind us complained saying, don't charge us for waters we didn't order, and we didn't ask for chopsticks! They charge you?!?! This place is wild, and I don't even think they can legally just charge people gratuity without notice. Also the online menu is 4 dollars cheaper than the after hours. Just don't go.

I ordered late night delivery from this place. I ordered the sizzling beef plate. The food was fresh and hot when it arrived which was nice but the biggest problem was that in the picture of the food there was a bowl of white rice next to it and no rice came with the entree. For $22 you would think you should get some rice. So it was disappointing to have to just eat the meat and veggies alone.

Extremely overpriced food. No one checks on you. If you’re going to spend $40 a person, there are way better options. High gratuity as well.
