Good value restaurant. Ordered a banquet for a group. Much more attention could be paid to cleanliness of bathroom areas for guests. Vegetarian fried rice had some cubes of ham in it - had to request a replacement. Also, I would suggest inclusion of the pork buns or dumplings into the banquet menu. One thing I would recommend at this restaurant is their steamed pork buns.
Great food, especially the chilli oil dumplings, lots of choice to suit everyone. Well priced. Dinner for 4 with wine and beers came in at about $40 a head. excellent service.
We were a large group dining, and were happy with the service and the food. I had the gluten free chicken and prawn dumplings, and recommend them.
Mao please has to be one of the better dumpling places in the city/ china town. Orders are done quickly and the dumplings are always delicious!
