Mulan Taiwanese Restaurant

For the area, i enjoyed Mulan especially the lunch combinations as that's usually the best budget deal with authentic Taiwanese style food.When i stop in for a lunch or deliver i usually go for the rice, spicy crispy chicken. Has Taiwanese style spices with chili oil for a kick. (Not super spicy or anything) The pan fried noodles with beef or pork is also a go to of mine! You can have the noodles seperate if you wish in case you don't like them too soggy. But the sauce and noodz together are great! I would have taken pictures but forgot as i was starving and just ate it.Never sat down for a meal, but always got takeout or delivery, food always came hot and quick. The decor in the place looked clean at a glance but maybe I'll dine in another time.

Very average Taiwanese food. I think if you're craving some takeout, it's a solid choice but you've probably had better. In terms of dish rank:1. Sweet & Sour Pork2. Fried Tofu3. Fish Fillet in Spicy Black Bean Sauce4. Fried Squid/VeggiesI think the sweet & sour pork was by far the best dish. It had a really good sauce and tasted great with rice. Fish fillet was solid - fish was tender and not too spicy. The fried squid was a bit too oily that it became soggy. The squid and veggies didn't have much flavor either. Also their service is very slow. Even if it's very obvious that you're ready to order or get the check, they seemingly never notice.

Good:- L11 crispy spiced pork is pretty good, deep fried crispy char siew. Very tasty.

Solid twin shop of the Mulan in Kendal Square in Cambridge 4.5 Stars. You know a spot is good when it's ALWAYS CROWDED. I was in the area for a friend's bday on a cold and stormy late-spring night and needed something hot and probably spicy! Luckily I was with a friend who is always down to over-order food. We went deep on the menu with seafood dumplings wrapped in squid-ink wraps. They were succulent, steaming hot and beautifully flavored. We also ordered the Mulan cold chicken, which I LOVED. It's very Taiwanese and not for everyone. Dominated by 5 spice blend seasonings and oh so very tender (almost soft), it is such a unique dish that is very hard to find and even harder to do well!For mains we got the Lamb in Chili Sauce. It was giving Mapo Tofu vibes, came out in a HUGE bowl with scallions, tofu, heaping servings of diced lamb that was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was spicy (in my opinion, but my Gringo friend found it a bit 'hot'). What a treat, and a must try if you are there. We gut-bust ordered the sizzling beef on the recommendation of the staff and oh were they right!! What ever they are doing to their meats, everything is just perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. This is not your corner "Chinese Restaurant". The quality is on par with much more expensive restaurants. Is it hard to get service sometimes? Yes. Does the place look basic? Yes. Is the wine, cocktail and beer selection minimal? Yes. SO WHAT!! THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS!!! It is now on my must eat rotation if I'm ever in the Boston Area!

I ordered takeout food from this restaurant and it was prepared in time.It's probably not the most authentic Taiwanese food but I enjoyed the flavor anyways. Price was very reasonable too

We were very happy with everything we ordered. The house duck was especially tasty, maybe the most flavorful roast duck I've had in the Boston area. Service was pretty fast, the house made dumplings took the longest to come out, but it was delicious and clearly freshly made. Would also highly recommend the salt and pepper pork chops, very crispy and tender. The dining room is quite spacious, it looks like it could accomodate large groups. We would definitely go back and try more dishes.

Had a great meal here which fortunately I got to enjoy in a private room as the main dining room seemed to be very busy. This is probably due to the giant portion sizes and reasonable prices offered here for food that's cooked quite well. Not every dish was great, as they seem to do best in banquet style dishes, particularly of Taiwanese style but for the more generic options that you'd generally order from an Americanized Chinese restaurant, these were only okay.In particular there were some items that really stood out for me. The Smoked duck taiwanese style is a must try item, full of flavor from the tea leaves and super tender. The salted crispy chicken is not excessively salty but full of flavor and very crispy. The pork chop with sweet and sour sauce is nice and just a bit fatty, particularly around the bone and has a good balance to it. The braised pork shin in brown sauce is huge and had nice tender meat, but the skin is just unbelievably soft and flavorful. Mu Lan FIsh is a bit spicy, but really more fragrant and the fish fillets are nice and tender within the spicy sauce.In general, if you stick with the recommendations you'll have quite a good meal, but generic fried rice or lo mein type options are only okay. A few of the more traditional options like scallion pancakes, eggplant with basil, and shredded pork with baby bamboo were a bit underwhelming for me -- not bad, but I've had better versions in the area.Overall, great choice if you're looking for banquet style chinese food and a good choice if you're looking to enjoy Taiwanese food. Pretty much everything you try here is between good and great in terms of flavor and texture.

Whenever I'm home, I love coming to Mulan for an authentic tasty meal! They have a large selection of traditional dishes to choose from, so you'll surely find something you like here. On this particular day, we ordered 6 dishes for takeout, and everything came out within 15min. The portions are big and will easily feed a large family (we usually do at least one dish per two people). Overall, I highly recommend Mulan to those looking for both a quick and authentic Chinese meal!

The duck was pretty good here, I like how their Service is instant. but i came here for lunch, and there are too many people that i hardly find a quiet seat. the price i think it's make sense and cheap too.

Service was great! They are usually very busy at meal times, but their food is delicious! Their famous dish is the smoke duck - a must try! The hot and spicy fish is also very good!!! Many other dishes were also well made and of high quality!!!
