China Moon

China Moon is a Chinese restaurant in the McCullers Crossing Shopping Center on the south side of Raleigh. The kitchen cooks in four regional styles, Mandarin, Hunan, Szechuan and Cantonese, so the menu runs from gentle to hot depending on what you pick.

Most of the trade is takeout, though there are tables inside for anyone who wants to sit down. It is a friendly, unfussy place, the sort of Chinese restaurant a neighborhood keeps in its phone and orders from without thinking twice, at lunch or at dinner.

What to know

• The restaurant is closed on Sundays.
