Reviews
The waiter has misheard our order, but they were very accommodating and quickly replaced the wrong dish with the correct one. All the dishes were very delicious and the atmosphere inside is quite nice.
I've heard positive reviews about Mu Lan, so when I saw that its Google overview lauds its menu for being "veggie-friendly" I was sold. When I walked in, it was pretty busy with most of the room filled by groups of families and friends. Hearing the chatter, I was immediately transported to my childhood for a white tablecloth family meal.
Despite the bustle of the dinner hour on a rainy Friday evening, I was quickly greeted and seated by a server. Based on the Taiwanese tag in the restaurant's name, I wasn't necessarily expecting it, but some of the staff even spoke Cantonese. As in dim sum, they brought hot tea in a pot, as well as a small dish with some veggies (cabbage and carrots) as a light appetizer.
I came in ready to order the pan fried vegetable dumplings, and when I saw the menu listing "must try!" next to the spicy bean curd, I had to add it as well.
The dumplings were plated very prettily on a lace paper doily, which was an interesting contrast to the plastic spoon used for the accompanying sauce. I like my dumplings crispy, so I was happy to see the lightly seared bottoms. The dumplings were good and each bite was pretty light, even after adding the sauce.
The presentation of the spicy bean curd was not all that impressive. They're just firm tofu cubes - the skin was hard enough to give the dish some texture, but not unpleasantly so. There was a good amount of cilantro garnishing the plate, but essentially piled on, rather than sprinkled over, the tofu. Despite the name, the sauce was not hot. Overall, the spicy bean curd was fine, but I wouldn't call it a "must try" here.
Both dishes fulfilled the basic requirements of eating out - they were filling and I had no complaints about the taste - but didn't impress. I actually enjoyed the service more, which was quite the welcome change of pace from the typical experience in an authentic Asian restaurant. I was really taking my time with the meal and I didn't feel rushed at all, allowing me to really soak in the ambiance and the fond memories it brought up for me!
One of my Taiwanese friends recommended this place, and this place was awesome! It feels like very authentic Taiwanese food. Very delicious and the portions are so big too! And the food came out very fast.
We had Mu Lan fish, Salt & Pepper Pork, Watercress, and Moo Shi Pork. We liked everything, especially Mu Lan Fish, Sal & Pepper Pork and Watercress. I would highly recommend this place!!
Very high quality food with a lot of meat as well as vegetarian options. Food is generally well-priced with generous portions. There are large circular tables that can fit a lot of people in a reservation. I highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back.
One of the best Taiwanese restaurant in New England! Their dumplings, fried rice, and noodles are delicious. Must try their Taiwanese Style duck and Home Style chicken. Taiwanese style fried chicken is also really tasty. I like their fried rice cake too. Love this restaurant!
A very busy place: people order out, come in to dine in. The food is very tasty and the service is fast but not brazen. Parking might be a bit of the problem but most patrons were walking in. If you like plums try non alcoholic plum drink.
The food was great, and each portions were absolutely huge. We definitely did not neeed three dishes for two people.
Only thing to note was that, we didn't really know much about each menu so we ended up with three non-sauchy menus, which wasn't quite easy to eat with the rice. But that's on us for not knowing various chinese menus, and we'll definitely come back to try other menus out.
Food was delicious! I loved the scallion beef dish and duck. Super savory and succulent!
