Description: A sprawling Wallingford dive bar and eatery
beloved for its Chinese fare.
Decor: Charming hand-painted murals, chocolate brown color
schemes that evoke a 1970s feel, and odd-yet-effective wall
arrangements of artfully layered corkboard panels.
Namesake 101: Rituals at the original Temple of the Moon in
ancient China involved bloody animal sacrifices, enrobed emperors, and
the solemn tolling of nearby bells.
Modern-day scene: Pointedly lacking in ceremonial bloodshed,
with a row of aging men peacefully watching basketball at the bar on a
Friday afternoon.
Happy hours: Mon–Fri 4–6 pm.
Happy-hour drink specials: Shockingly stiff $2.50 wells.
Happy-hour food specials: None, but with those thrillingly
cheap drink specials, menu prices—sweet and sour chicken for
$7.95, Mongolian beef for $8.75—seem reasonable. ![]()
