We recently had a small year-end gathering at Mulan Taiwanese Restaurant in Waltham, Massachusetts. While the exterior may not be fancy, the restaurant was already packed with customers when we arrived at noon, showing how popular it is. The dishes we ordered were quite authentic...Read More

When you walk into Mu Lan it is like you are transported to Taiwan. They have some "Americanized" dishes, however they are known for their authentic dishes. My Chinese friends that also own restaurants told me that Mu Lan is the real deal. I went at lunchtime. Most tables were occupied. I was one of the only non-Asian customers. To me, that's a sign of a great restaurant. As soon as I sat, they brought me over tea, water with lemon, a ramikin of peanuts and a ramikin of pickled cabbage and carrots. A very pleasant start to the meal. My waiter, an older gentleman with glasses was very friendly and was one of the English speaking employees. Part of their menu is written in Taiwanese. Those items had pictures. You can also easily use your cell and Google translate. I should note the restaurant was extremely clean and had nice Asian decor. They give you chopsticks. There is forks/spoons available if needed. I use chopsticks at home so this wasn't an issue. I started with a cup of Hot and Sour Soup. It's a favorite dish of mine and I was curious to see how they did it. Great flavors with the normal fillers like tofu, golden needle, black fungus, egg etc. Had a good amount of heat to clear your nose. My next course was half of the House Duck. Also delicious! Although reading the reviews it sounds like people lean towards the Smoked Duck. I finished with some Cuttlefish Dumplings! These were amazing! I believe the wrapper was black from squid ink. Overall, very happy with the food and the little extras they give you. When they bring out the bill, they also bring Orange slices!!! Kind of like the pineapple back in the day! They have a large menu with a lot of interesting choices. From a cultural perspective it was really fascinating to watch some of the families eat. Each person would get a bowl of rice. Then the table would get two giant bowls One looked like a soup. The family members would pick at the big bowls and place items on their rice. After a few bites they would repeat the process. Definitely worth checking out for great fresh, authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food. Prices were very reasonable! Excited to go back and try something new!

I had the BEST lunch at Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant today! 😍 I ordered the tofu and beef, along with the spicy chicken, and wow, I was blown away! The flavors were spot on—so rich, bold, and absolutely delicious. The tofu was perfectly tender and soaked up all that savory goodness, while the beef was super juicy and flavorful. And don’t even get me started on the spicy chicken—it had just the right amount of heat, giving it an exciting kick without being too much. Plus, the portions were HUGE! Seriously, I was so full and satisfied, but still couldn't resist wanting more because everything tasted so good. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving a hearty and flavorful meal. I’ll be back for sure! Check out the photos I’m attaching—these dishes looked as good as they tasted! 😋 Dec2 I had such a wonderful meal at Mulan Restaurant. This time, I had the Stir-Fried Rice Noodles, Stir-Fried Rice Cake, and Sautéed Fish Fillet. Every dish was delicious and brought me so much joy. The Stir-Fried Rice Noodles were especially memorable—they were so good that I felt inspired to try making my own version at home. It was a fun way to carry the experience with me. Thank you, Mulan Restaurant, for creating food that feels so warm and comforting. Dec31 I recently got takeout from Mu Lan and couldn’t be happier with the meal! I ordered the stir-fried rice noodles and sautéed fish fillet, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. I’ve tried making stir-fried rice noodles at home many times, but Mu Lan’s version has that special touch I just can’t replicate—it’s so flavorful and perfectly done. And the sautéed fish fillet? I don’t think I’ll ever come close to matching that incredible taste in my own kitchen! Thank you, Mu Lan, for bringing such joy and flavor to the table. It’s always a treat to enjoy your food! Can’t wait for my next visit! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
