Ordered the general tso with beef. The meat was very tough and hard to chew. My partner got the chef’s special fried rice, which was very oily and salty. The service was bland. I think the waiter could tell we were not satisfied with the food and thus avoided our table the rest of the evening. Eventually another worker came and asked if things were okay. We told him no, but he offered no resolution. After he cleared the table the other waiter appeared to ask if we wanted dessert, which we obviously declined. I will not be back. There are many other better dining options in Kips Bay/Murray Hill.

I made a reservation for 10:30pm on Valentines day through Open Table, only to arrive at the restaurant to be told they are closed! They said the chef left already and there was nothing they could do. They did not seem to care at all that our Valentines day plans were ruined, and that it was an error on their part! They should have been more apologetic, we should not have been able to book on Open table at that time. And when we tried saying that Open Table is allowing reservations for past 9:30 (which is when she said the latest reservation could be) all she could do is show us her screen. I with they were more understanding and I am very upset.

Moo Shu pork delivery was good, wonderful pancakes(not tortillas thank goodness but real thin crepes), General Tso’s chicken was excellent flavor but a bit mushy. The scallion pancakes, unfortunately were nothing that we could eat, we had to throw them out… too greasy.

Most of the dishes were excellent, especially the fish. However the snow pea leaves was too tough, which is a sign that it's past its prime.

We were in New York almost a week and this is the last place we ate in the city. We saved the best for last. The food was amazing, some of the best Chinese food we've had. The service was outstanding! Would highly recommend Mazu!

Good places and good food need to be run by experienced people, otherwise it will be a waste.

Quaint spot in Midtown the Murray Hill section of Manhattan. Overall, very well kept clean location and appealing to the eye, which is why I stopped in amongst all the choices in the area. The location was empty for the last hour of lunch and while I was seated only two pairs of patrons joined at that time so not in the least bit crowded. Despite expecting 1:1 service based on those numbers they were not that attentive. There was no rush in their greeting as the host and server barely moved in acknowledging my presence. It was a nice day and opted to dine outside. My table was not cleared until the end of the meal as opposed to checking in and removing as I go. I ordered from the pre-fixed lunch menu and had shrimp dumplings and black pepper scallops. Presentation was pleasant but both seemed to be cooked a little longer than necessary. The scallops were slightly rubbery and not easy to cut through. I used the plastic chopsticks they supplied which should have been ample, I should have opted for the fork that was provided. There’s better in the area and they likely do well with take-out and delivery due to the Hospitals, residences and local business in the area.

The best pork soup dumplings in Manhattan, I would have to say. Well done chef! Beijing duck was nice, but the sauce was a bit of too thick and salty. Shrimp crispy rolls didn’t taste too good. Nice restaurant, clean bathrooms. Staffs were very nice and kind.

Very spicy, even requested milder option burned my mouth through, more chilli flakes and seeds than stars in the sky. The vegetables were undercooked and key ingredient was missing (menu wasn’t updated) and portion was definitely overpriced.

PROs - nice interiors, good food CONs - service was good but not best
Was craving Chinese food and found this restaurant in Manhattan . Went on a Thursday and it was empty . Lots of seats inside to sit and eat . They had lunch specials, but I wanted general tsos tofu . They said it wasn’t included in lunch specials .. and I had to order a general order !! There is also a bar inside . They had local beers and lots of other stuff ..
Took sometime for the order to be taken and order came fast . Food was delicious though. Quantities good too. General tsos tofu was so good . Was a little sweeet though. Had to ask them hot sauce . Overall liked it .. 4 stars .. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just love this restaurant - the food is fantastic - the best tofu dishes along with a deliciously spicy ma po fish. The staff is attentive and just spectacular.

Most of the food was good but for a place that calls themselves “Szechuan,” there was nothing about the taste that was authentically so. Very mild and super salty food. I do not recommend their spicy dishes at all.

Horrible, salty food. We left food as it tasted miserable. Don’t order cocktails. They can’t make it.
