Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant (Waltham) 835 Main Street, Waltham, MA 02451

"Great food and service. It felt very authentic with the decor and food. They recommended things on the menu that might be new to others. My favorite part is the general Tso chicken which they made without the spicy sauce at my request. When it came out I was blown away. It was nice and warm and the sauce was perfect. The outer breading was crispy and the Inside was nice and soft. Overall I would love to come here again and was astonished at how good it was."

"Delicious and affordable lunch menu! Really great, large portion size for the price. Highly recommend the salt and pepper pork chop, shredded beef with dry bean curd, and eggplant with garlic sauce. Would definitely come again!"

"Pretty good Chinese food but not too special. The smoked duck is special and everything else was reminiscent of a solid home-cooked meal. The restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of round tables so it’s good for larger parties."

"Restaurant was mildly busy. We ordered about 8 dishes for our large part. From there, a few dishes were great such as the eggplant and crispy chicken. However, there were some g.i. issues from multiple people afterward, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, etc. The service was also very slow with no attention other than bringing out the dishes once. No water refills and forever to get our order and even to get the check."

"I have only been to this place once, so I’m not sure if my comments are valid compared to people who have been there multiple times. Nevertheless, I want to share my first experience. We visited on a Tuesday noon, and the atmosphere was pleasant with many people sitting but not overly crowded. The waiters were nice, although quite busy. I noticed that many Chinese people recommended this place on a Chinese social media platform, so I ordered the dishes that most people recommended, assuming it was authentic Taiwan cuisine. However, I found the food to be rather plain, and there were too many green onions in the beef wrap pancakes. Apart from the taste, both my friend and I felt physically uncomfortable after the meal, joking that it was a heavy one. Surprisingly, even an hour after digestion, we still felt dizzy, tired, and uncomfortable. I also experienced diarrhea later that day. It’s worth noting that we didn’t eat anything else before this meal. I just wanted to share my experience, and personally, I wouldn’t want to go back. While some might argue that I didn’t try their best dishes, as a Chinese person who has been to numerous Chinese restaurants, I cannot recommend this place."
