Food Friday: Blue Moon Chinese Restaurant

I have been by Blue Moon Chinese Restaurant at least a thousand times over the years but never stopped. Once again another place I should have tried earlier. This isn’t a Chinese buffet (which I do love the buffets), this is a real sit-down family style restaurant.

The atmosphere from the time you walk in is different, immediately hit with a calm. It was a casual environment, very laid back. Plus the decorations in the building were beautiful and calming as well. We had to start the order with their famous egg rolls. We had both heard about the egg rolls and the fact they have won best egg roll in the metro area several times. Truthfully they lived up to their reputation. Full of cabbage and pork, really good. We also tried their crab rangoons. These were also good. Loved the crisp with the creamy crab cream cheese filling. For my entree, I got the butterfly shrimp. These are shrimp, wrapped in bacon and deep fried in a tempura batter. They were huge and tasted wonderful. I actually had to bring some home because they were just so big. Surprisingly, they reheated nicely as well. Big K got the Cantonese chicken. This is cut up chicken with carrots and onion. He really loved it and cleaned his plate. The also brought out fried rice served family style. This fried rice was so good. I could have eaten it all by myself. It was perfect. Family style in Chinese food means it’s for everyone at the table to share.

I wish I would have tried this place much earlier, it is now in my rotation of favorites. I give them 5 strips of bacon.

Food Friday: Hibachi Supreme Buffet

So last weekend was the Lunar New year and I always like to celebrate by enjoying Chinese food, so we took a short road trip to the south side of Oklahoma City to try out the huge Hibachi Supreme Buffet.

Even though the parking lot was full, the restaurant wasn’t too packed. We were seated quickly and started in on that buffet. They had some things that were different but they mostly had the same stuff you find at most Chinese buffets- the sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, shrimp prepared in different ways, and sushi. I had a bit of everything on this trip but my favorite was their seafood lasagna. This is a cheesy casserole type dish with different types of seafood such as shrimp and crab. I also loved their tempura fried vegetables and their tempura sushi.

Overall I liked their food but I’m only giving them 4 strips of bacon. Why? To be honest, the building was in poor shape. The carpet is coming up and filthy, the tables and chairs could have used some love as well. So the condition of the restaurant itself brought down the enjoyment of the food.

Address: 1012 W I-240 Service Road, Oklahoma City.
