I made reservations weeks in advance for noon time on a Friday. We showed up to the restaurant and the door was locked. We waited 10 minutes, but couldn't wait longer due to catching a flight, and the door never opened. I wish I could comment on the food, but we didn't have any.

MOFU never disappoints on the flavors. Just wish the seating was a bit larger on a two top table. Our first dining experience here was by far our best overall experience but we will definitely keep eating here.

Food is always good but the experience was poor. We have a table of 7 for a 9 pm reservation. They sat us at 9:15 after we arrived at 9 and then told us that the kitchen closes at 10 and last call for food and drinks is at 9:45. Very rushed for a tapas dinner. Left hungry and frustrated. Seems like they are greedy and should not have allowed us to sit at 9 if they were going to shut things down and kick us out at 10. Also put a fixed tip on the bill.

Food was good and unique. Dow side was we felt rushed even before we arrived. Our appetizer and meal came at the same time and both came before my cocktail. We didn't order dessert and recently bed the bill less than an hour after we sat down. If you are in a hurry before a show great otherwise chill a bit.

Service was decent, food was BAD. Would not recommend to anyone who is familiar with authentic Asian flavors.

Got the Dan Dan noodles which were essentially inedible. Could not grab a single noodle as it congealed into one giant ball of oil, noodles and pork that was shredded so thin that it became a paste. If you look at the picture you can see the oil POOLING at the bottom of my bowl. Not to mention the flavors were completely off, and there was absolutely nothing Asian or Chinese about that dish.

Also ordered the smoked pork belly bowl, which was atrocious. The rice was seasoned solely (and overly) with salt, served with a tiny sprinkling of unseasoned corn and carrots, and one flavorless piece of grilled pork belly. Didn’t come with sauce and was completely dry.

Another person in my party ordered the bowl but with fried tofu substituted. We all tried the tofu and it had absolutely zero seasoning or salt.

Our group also ordered the beef bulgogi dumplings. I tried one, and it took me a solid 3 minutes to chew through it. Tasted like Play-Doh.

We had a group of 8, no one finished their entrees and no one took their leftovers home. I don’t typically write reviews, but this meal was really upsetting considering that the reviews for this place are so positive. If you are looking for authentic Asian flavors, do not eat here.

Mofu has a lovely ambiance and delightful vegan food. We got the impossible dumplings (not pictured), the vegan tofu bao buns, miso soup and coconut corn curry rice bowl (my least favorite but still delicious).

The only thing I wish they’d do differently is label the vegan/can be made vegan options clearly on the menu. The hostess was a great help in checking in with the chef and giving us a rundown of the vegan/can be made vegan options.

We were greeted by Claire upon entering and she is very personable and has a very pleasant personality. Great music in the restaurant. It's at a perfect volume to have comfortable conversations with your family and friends. The decor is very chic and peaceful. We ordered the smash burger with kimchi tots, bahn mi with kimchi tots, yotiao dessert, pork & chive dumplings and lime glazed wings. Everything was delicious and the sauces were bomb. Compliments to the chef for such fun and delicious creations! Highly recommend coming to visit and allowing your taste buds to explode with happiness. Great place to book for parties too, they have a nice, private area upstairs. Will definitely be a return customer.

Kid-friendliness: My toddler had a blast eating and dancing to the music.

The service, the food, the atmosphere… TEN OUT OF TEN! We started with the beef bulgogi dumplings which were AMAZING! Our one order of this turned into THREE! The entrées came shortly after. Presentation of the dishes were a 10/10! I ordered the sticky short ribs and they were SUPER tender and complimented the mash potatoes well. We followed our dinner up with asian churros at the recommendation of our server. This has been the best food and service by far this 2023 year! You leave hard shoes to fill, MOFU!

We had the mofu wings, chicken and ginger dumplings, Brussels, and the pork belly bowl. The wings were super crunchy and the dumplings were+ sauce were good. The small plates portions (beyond the dumplings) felt pretty generous for being “small”. All that being said, taste-wise, everything was good but not spectacular. Our waitress was friendly and helpful! (but covering a lot of tables on a Saturday night)
