“Culinary delight” are the words that first come to mind when describing the Father’s Day dinner we enjoyed at Pacific Moon. We are concerned that most Fountain Hills residents have never heard of this Chinese treasure hidden in plain sight on Palisades Blvd. We had first discovered it after walking out of another local restaurant several weeks ago because the noise level there exceeded our tolerance.

On both occasions we had ordered the spicy Kung Pao. Chicken on the first visit and pork on the second. Both were delicious, but I liked the pork best. Susan Tam is the owner-manager and her brother rules the kitchen as the chef. Their menu is extensive, reasonably priced, and in my not so humble opinion second to none in this Valley of the Sun.

The décor is pleasing, the service attentive, young and always smiling, and the place is quiet. We were served complimentary Crispy Won Ton Noodles, which were so light and tasty we ate two servings. It is now our intention to eat our way through the entire menu, starting with the house specials.

Our fear is that Pacific Moon could disappear. They need more customers to survive, and that is our plea to Fountain Hills Times readers. You have to try this place to believe it. Discover for yourself just how great Chinese cuisine can be. Mexico and Italy have had their day. Now it’s China’s turn.

For those of you who can’t work up the energy to go out for dinner, their entire menu is available to go with a delivery charge of only $3. Do yourself a really great favor and try this place today, tomorrow, or this weekend at the very latest.
