Molly Woo's Asian Bistro

For being attached to a mall, I was impressed with the fancy exterior and interior that elevated the experience before taking my first bite. The mandarin-hued lighting set the scene perfectly and the outstanding service of our waitress was noticed and appreciated. She was pleasant in her demeanor, helpful in her recommendations, attentive to our table, and threw in some extra rice for our leftovers. In my mind, I figured that the food would balance out the good things mentioned above and be 'just okay'. Wrong! It was across the board good. The bao buns w/pork stood out as well the Szechuan green beans. Both the honey and firecracker chicken entrees were saucy and taste exactly how they sound. And do yourself a favor by upgrading your side dish from rice to the lo mein for $2. Molly Woo, you've made a fan out of me.

We went to Molly Woo's twice in a short span of time for a couple of celebration dinners. During both visits, we had exceptional service, the food quality was great, the portion size for the value was reasonable for a CM restaurant, and the ambiance was beautiful as always. The menu is large enough to cater to different taste buds. We tried the Asian Pear Fizz and Dragon Punch cocktails - both were decent, but not great. Our parties enjoyed the edamame and spring rolls from the appetizer selections. On one occasion, we tried the Volcano Roll, and I will certainly order it again the next time I am there. Among the entrees, there are quite a few fish options as well. We really enjoyed the Ginger-Crusted Salmon; however, the Red Snapper dish was also tasty. We also liked the Honey Chicken and the Garlic Chicken dishes. As great as the appetizers and entrée items are, save room for the Chocolate Cake - it was delicious! On both occasions, our servers were top notch. They were patient, made great recommendations, and were very efficient. Molly Woo's is yet another example of a very efficiently run CM restaurant where you know you will get an overall solid to great experience every time.

Stopped in the Monday before Christmas. The food and our server (gentlemen was also the bartender) were both 5 stars. Absolutely LOVED the crab Rangoon and Cali Rolls as wellAs our meals. What we didn't like was the manager (male with dark hair) talking down to his hostesses.He was so rude it made us uncomfortable. Do Better!!

Pretty good ambiance for a casual to slightly fancy meal. The food is safe, not bad but could be better. Definitely not authentic Asian but if you want to try something Asian themed with Western touch it's great. I would say it's like a fancier PF Chang's. When we visited, there was an option for a 3-course meal. Not sure if this is offered regularly. Portions are reasonably sized and good for the price. Service is nice and friendly.

Molly Woo's feels like a Columbus staple at this point. If you're shopping at Polaris, it's almost a necessity to stop here. The food is delicious. The location is very easy to get to. The ambiance is great. I enjoy the giant Lazy Susan's on the bigger tables. The service however leaves a lot to be desired. Given that this is a Cameron Mitchell restaurant, you assume that the service will be top notch. That was not so much with our experience. Our server was very friendly. However, you would think he had not been trained to take a single dirty plate from the table. Whether it was a refill on a drink or a finished meal, our server refused to clear the table. Given that we ordered appetizers, main entrees to be shared amongst everybody, and dessert, that's a lot of dirty plates on the table. And the server didn't even seem phased! It was like he was baffled when we asked for clean forks to eat our dessert. Great food, great experience, below average service. Given that it is a Columbus staple, I will be back without a doubt.

This place is my new favorite Asian restaurant. The service was impeccable. The food was even more impeccable. Price was not outrageous! Would certainly recommend.

This Columbus restaurant has been on my foodie bucket list ever since it opened, and I'm so glad that my first time enjoying a meal there was with some of my favorite girlfriends as we celebrated our Friend's birthday . I didn't take too many photos of the food since I was having such a great time chatting with the girls , but let me tell y'all what the delicious dishes were that we ordered. We started the night off with sampling the appetizer menu and ended up picking crab rangoons, Thai lettuce wraps with chicken as well as crispy tofu, and sweet garlic eggplant . Each of the appetizers were delicious, but my favorite was the crispy tofu, and crab rangoon. Both of these dishes were perfectly crispy while not being oily, and the filling of the Rangoon was a great blend of real crab and cream cheese. We kept it simple for the main meal and asked for a combo wok fried rice with shrimp and chicken, and a vegetable wok fried rice, as well as the garlic chicken. When the entrees arrived I was surprised by how large of a serving they were giving us! I mean there was so much food that even after the 5 of us ate there was a lot leftover to bring home. Just like with the appetizers the dishes were perfectly balanced in flavor. To end the night we ordered their chocolate cake so we could celebrate the birthday girl . This was probably the item that left me feeling like it could've been better, most people will love the cake, if cake is your preferred dessert then definitely try the cake (it's cause I bake so much and make so many cakes, cookies, and other desserts so frequently I'm hard to please when it comes to cakes ). That's how my weekend came to a delicious end, and I know that I'll be visiting @molly_woos soon, because as soon as my daughter took a bite of the fried rice I'd brought home the first words out of her mouth were, " Mommy, you have to take me here. Just you and me." The ambiance was also perfect for our night out. Follow me on Instagram #bengali_begum

So, I recently decided to try Molly Woo's. Let me tell you, it was an adventure in spicy chicken and "meh" egg rolls.The Firecracker Chicken was good but not great. However, they did crank up the spice level just for me - cue the sweating and gulping down water like a champ. If you like to play with fire, this dish is your jam!The Egg Rolls? Well, let's just say they were as exciting as a wet sock. I mean, I've had more flavorful cardboard.The place itself is Cheesecake Factory-esque, which means it's nice and clean and could probably double as a fancy lounge. The staff was all business and efficient but about as friendly as a cat who just got a bath.Overall, a nice spot if you're in the mood for some decent Asian cuisine in a pretty setting. Just maybe skip the egg rolls and bring a fire extinguisher for the chicken.Would I go back? Sure, if only to test my spice tolerance again!

Food was flavorless it was a waste of money. Great service but you'd be better off getting takeout somewhere else.

I first want to suggest looking at the menu before going. Mistake on my part. The prices are outrageous and not worth the quality and just OK flavors. The $12 spring rolls were very good and our favorite of the evening. Yet twice the price of nice Chinese restaurants in Chicago! Also, 3 in our party and waitress never asked if we wanted 3 and brought out 2. Each of us ordered something different from Molly's favorites. All dishes good but salty and lacking flavor. I ordered tea for myself, thinking one cup would arrive. No, a $5 large pot. We found waitress unexperienced and not very communicative. $110 for 3, no alcohol. Would not return when in area again.
