The Mazeman is still excellent. All the staff are friendly. The mogu chicken is not as good as before because it is prepared in advanced, even though it is still worth trying on during happy hours.
Service and food were great. The vegan mazeman was incredible and I love how they give some rice to sop up the extra toppings and sauce at the end.
Their mazemen is always my favorite. No matter is the chashu, the mince pork, runny eggs, ramen egg and their secret umami vinegar, everything is super tasty and even the green onions are amazing in the dish. I love how chewy their noddles are. It’s my favorite local noodle restaurant. Highly recommended.
