Great place! They were short staffed (only one server, im assuming there was a call in) so service was a little slow, but not the servers fault. She was so sweet despite the circumstances. Food was yummy!

Wonderful establishment that was a perfect selection for our dining group of 8 on a Wednesday evening. Service was fantastic starting with happy hour at the bar and continued as we migrated to our dining table and throughout the evening. The vegetable spring roll was a great selection as an appetizer and was tightly packed with crisp tender cabbage, carrot, and spices and wrapper was just-right and crunchy. This was accompanied with the pomegranate cocktail, which tended toward being sweet and just shy of syrupy. Choice of entree was mahi mahi on a bed of vegetables and vermicelli noodles in a nicely spicy heat curry sauce. Bowls of white, brown, and fried rice were brought to the table and very welcomed to take advantage of the sauce. The property has ample and easy parking located off of Lexington Road near Grinstead Drive. The restaurant is open and airy and noise level was mild, which was wonderful for our dinner conversation. Happy to return and to recommend based on the quality and value.

Tried August Moon for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it. They had such a variety of dishes and each one I tried was delectable. I highly recommend the goat cheese and crabmeat wonton or the panko calamari to start with. The cocktails were fresh and delicious as well!

Elevated American Chinese dishes! August Moon has a large free parking lot. Some of the food at August Moon reminds you of your favorite Chinese takeout places. However, the quality is far superior. I love to start with the chicken spring roll with hot mustard. For second course I enjoy the soups: Hot & Soup, Egg Drop, or Won Ton Soup. You will notice the quality in these soups for sure. So many entrees are wonderful, but my favorites are beef (or chicken) and spicy sesame+hoisin sauce or Mongolian beef. The entrees are large, so you share or have leftovers for another day.

This place is such a hidden gem. It's a quiet little place, and the service is always excellent. I've tried a few different things here, and everything is a hit. My favorite menu item is the sautéed beef with peppers and onions. The beef is incredibly tender and melts in your mouth. The veggies were chunky and fresh, cooked just enough to still be nice and crunchy. The dishes here are also consistent, from my experience. Everything I've tried ranges from good to outstanding- I've never tried anything bad. There are a lot of restaurants in this area, but this one is worth a try.

We were asked by a friend to join her for dinner at August Moon. She is local to the area/immediate area. I learned why it is a favorite spot. The food is delicious. The bistro atmosphere far surpasses the Chinese buffet vibe. There are so many menu items it is difficult to choose! Definitely make reservations. Come prepared for a leisurely dinner. The holiday season most likely extended the time it took us to be served, which still wasn't bad, but it is also not intended to be "fast food" service. Thank you to our server, Kat. Service can make or break an experience.

It's a delight to go and sit on the patio on a cool summer night and have great tea and great Chinese fusion food. The service is outstanding and friendly and the food interesting and delicious. We had a hotSpicy Orange Rind Chicken, Dumplings and Malaysian curry all were very good and can't wait to come back with more friends to try more dishes. Service : 5 stars friendly, homey and extremely helpful. Atmosphere: enjoyable, clean, modern bistro feel. Price $$$ well worth the quality and detail to the preparation and great twist on Chinese / Asian dishes well worth the experience.

This has long time been one of my favorite places to eat in Louisville. Located just outside of the Eastern Parkway area near Bardstown road and off Grinstead they bring you in with their ambience and scenery, but you stay for the Goat Cheese and Crab Rangoon egg rolls. These are hands down the best thing to order here. I always order a vegetable spring roll and then share the spicy chicken and vegetables with a friend. You get a large order of rice to go with it as well. BE MINDFUL - the spicy mustard served with the spring rolls will put hair on your chest.
