Taste of Mulan

Came here on a Sunday pretty early in the evening and it was very quiet. We sat outside to enjoy the cool weather- clearly no one has been outside in a minute. Dust and pollen for the season sprinkling the furniture.For being one of the few (only?) options for dim sum within the loop it was truly ok, but not necessarily one I'm running back to. Maybe a solid 3.5 for overall rating? We ordered quite a few things to share and were sufficiently filled with not a bad price tag at all.The beef curry puff was rarely memorable, and the sui mai too.

Wasn't sure what to expect when our relatives said we would have dim sum here. It just looked so clean and modern. We ordered some larger plates and smaller dimsum off menu and everything was pretty darn good. We came around 1:30-2pm on a Sunday and thought it would be busier but it wasn't which was great for us. Things came out sporadically so we always had something to eat and finish.I enjoyed the black bean ribs the best, and it came out last.

Better than average food. Worse than average service. I visited Midweek, midday. There were only two tables occupied when I arrived. I was promptly seated. My order was taken promptly. I had the Mapo Tofu lunch entree with white rice and hot and sour soup. The price was right at 12.99. The order came out fast. The food tasted great, but for an entree touted as "mouth-numbing spicy" I actually thought the hot and sour soup was more spicy. In spite of that strong start described above, the service just fell apart. I never saw my waitress again. Never checked by. Never refilled the drink. Never even brought the check. I finally just walked up to the hostess/cashier station without one.I will come back for the food.

Tried this place during Houston Restaurant Week and was pretty disappointed. The interior of this place is really nice and the staff is super friendly and helpful, but the food was mediocre at best.Course 1:Rainbow Shrimp which was pretty good, but I got tired of the taste after awhile, and the Sweet and Sour Pork Baby Back Ribs. The ribs taste like something my dad is able to make at home.Course 2:Seafood/Meat Lover Dim-Sum Medley and Xiao Long Bao. These were all alright at best, but if I had to choose the Black Caviar Dumpling would be my favorite.Course 3: The Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin was a tad too salty and the portion size was rather small. The Braised shrimp and Egg Tofu was surprisingly good, but also tastes like something that can be made at home.Course 4 (Dessert):The Konjac Jelly was good, though would have tasted better a little more chilled, and the Salted Egg Sesame ball was alright at best. The salted egg flavor was not strong enough.We also ordered some a la carte items like Siu Mai, Har Gow, Crispy Shrimp, and Cheung Fan. The Cheung Fan was the best, everything else was rather mediocre. Overall an alright experience.

The parking is easy, right in front. Service is great, our waitress was very enthusiastic,, & the food was delicious in our opinion.

Most of the dishes that I tried were pretty good. I appreciated the smoky flavor from the truffle beef fried rice, but there was no truffle essence. The dim sum dishes all had good flavor & ingredients were all fresh. It can get pricey though, and I'm used to getting good dim sum for much cheaper in chinatown. Good for when you're in the area and craving dim sum though!

decent dimsum for midtown. service was good - simple and easy. we sat outdoors and they accommodated my dog! always a plus it was $40 for all of this so it is a little pricier but it sure beats having to drive all the way to chinatown! shrimp balls sticky riceshort ribs in garlic saucepork and shrimp shu maispicy wontons (not pictured) was prob our least favorite. it was more peanut buttery vs spicy will be back to try more food as they recently changed their name and think some of their menu items have changed too

I love dim sum but- This place didn't have as many items i would have hoped for. The best item was the spicy wontons. Everything was just okay. Service was a little slow but overall, the service was good. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves. We ordered about a variety of things about $200 worth. Nothing made me feel like I had to come back. The restaurant decor was nice, very simple. Overall it's an okay place to eat. Plenty of parking outside. Their menu had no cocktail which was a bummer.

We ate alot of the Dim Sum and all of it was delicious. The soup dumplings was easily the best one though. Nice atmosphere and very good staff. Nice place to come if you love Dim Sum.

Taste of Mulan has an extensive menu selections but we opted to try the little dim sum dishes. Dim sum is like a Chinese version of brunch and English tea. Regarding the dim sum, I am going to compare to the standard Cantonese style dim sum I am familiar with. Their dim sum style here may be from a different region. To start out with, the tea pot came with just instant tea bags and I am not used to this short cut at any respectable Chinese restaurant, especially during dim sum. Dumplings were good and cool presentation of the orange colored pumpkin fried dumpling and green colored dumpling. The chicken feet was disappointing, bland and not tender. Dim sum dishes were expensive, we spent near $70 for 2 during lunch and still not full. If you live in the Midtown area, it is a solid authentic Chinese restaurant, has some interesting dim sum dishes but I would say dim sum is not their forte.
