    Every dish was excellent and the restaurant staff were very helpful, well informed regarding the menu and attentive with positive attitudes and they really provided a great service throughout the evening. Special thanks to Mr. Ravi from the waiting staff for the amazing service which was truly beyond all our expectations. Overall - Moon River was excellent value for money with delicious food and superb service. It's also BYOB. Highly recommended! 10/10

    The service was great, all the staff were very active and enthusiastic. But the food was mediocre, either lacking spices or having excess of one spice. The place was clean and welcoming, the old architecture gave a homey atmosphere and there was more than enough room to eat. The portions for the dumplings were rather small and the fried rice was pretty good, mild and smooth. Moreover people could enjoy their meals in privacy inside seperated rooms. We were unfortunately not provided with chopsticks.

    Food was ok and delicious. The place was decent and average. Not too posh as it look from the outside though. Good service. Helpful staff. Desert is much overpriced!

    The waiters are friendly and very attentive. Their security is alert and sincere. But there is terribly wrong with the value they give customers. We have been in Colombo for so long and we have a keen taste for Chinese dishes. But in this restaurant we found out the taste and quantity of their foods, absolutely does not match with the prices. And what they pour for wine is not so good and cost you around 2500lkr/glass. Unfortunately I believe that this place is ripoff. If anyone out there is hungry for Chinese cuisine please go to five star hotel for much cheaper and better experience .

    Everyone knows that this place is fairly expensive, but the problem is quality and quantity of food. Seafood fried rice was ok but the portions were fairly small and other dishes were noticeably very low in salt as if in a diet for patients with severe hypertension, and tasting bland. Some pundit may say 'Oh this is how authentic Chinese cuisine tastes', he must try any Chinese restaurant in a five star hotel in Colombo city. Hot butter cuttlefish was unremarkable, they wanted to offer 'devilled cuttlefish heads' instead of cuttlefish which we declined for obvious reasons. Devilled chicken contained much more bell pepper than tiny pieces of chicken. Devilled pork appeared to have been cooked many times. Ambience was a little more than that of a Chinese kade in a remote suburban area, though there were some VIP room rooms. There is a very small parking space at the entrance to the premises.This place is grossly overrated.

    Very unpleasant experience, finally paid Rs 25000/- as per their estimate. According to the order, there is no problem with that. The first ordered hot pot glass noodles were not served hot as expected. It felt old. We are not complaining. There was a very dirty sackcloth in it. We advertised peacefully so that there was no problem. In the end a discount of Rs 1700/- was given. But when asking before taking the food, although it was stated that the prices were inclusive of all charges, a service charge of Rs 2262/- was also charged. Management was avoiding the issue. Service charges are not mentioned anywhere in the menu.

    The food is great but the portions are somewhat small. Separate room space is available for a small gathering.

    Amazing food. Highly recommend the lamb shoulder + spicy fish cooked in coconut milk. Slightly pricey but worth the money. The only downside would be the ambience.

  • 3/5 Thilina Gamalath (. 11 months ago on Google
    Staff is quite friendly. Food was good. A small portion is adequate for a couple. Expect to spend around 2K per person.

  • 5/5 Anil K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Chinese cuisine and wide variety of selection. Rates are really high.

  • 4/5 Uditha P. 4 months ago on Google
    They seem to have a wider selection of Chinese food but were out of stock of a few. The prices are on the high side, but the food was served relatively quicker than at most other restaurants. The wines menu prices were also on a high range, and they only had a few of the cocktails mentioned on the menu.

    The food tasted ok. Nothing to write home about. However, the service was abysmal. We ordered Pan fried dumplings and were served steamed dumplings. (The dumplings were decent). This was followed by another dish being served minus the chicken in it. To make matters worse we asked the waiter to repeat the order prior to placing the order. Extremely poor service and a come down from where it once used to be.

    Disappointing service experience...ordered pan fried dumplings and got steamed ones instead, bean curd with chicken had no chicken and had to demand for a alternative plate. :(.... Had even run out of cups to serve the green tea :0.... and suggested drinking it in a glass.

  • 1/5 Tharaka A. 1 year ago on Google
    Towards expensive side. Bad service. Server was very rude. He was in a big hurry to cleanup the table after us he took away the dishes even before we completely finished and brought the bill before we finished eating. Only positive was the friendly security person.

  • 5/5 Sunny S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious Chinese food to suit the spice loving Sri Lankan palate. Non-pretencious comfortable atmosphere that is upgraded intermittently. Excellent, attentive service. With ample parking available. PS: they sometimes offer a complimentary fruit platter after the meal that is fresh & lovely.
