Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant (Waltham)

Fantastic Taiwanese food with authentic flavors and generous portions. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. The mochi ice cream was good and not too sweet. Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

My group of five visited Mu Lan and had a really enjoyable time. It was pretty packed when we got there (always a good sign), but we had a reservation, so seating was smooth. The vibe is warm and lively: great for a casual dinner with friends. Service: Pretty solid. Staff were friendly, attentive, and didn’t make us wait too long. Everything from getting water refills to taking orders was handled well. Food & Portions: We ordered five different dishes to share so we could try a lot. Highlights for me: Popcorn chicken: crispy and flavorful. A crowd-pleaser. Spicy eggplant: flavorful, nicely textured, and not overwhelmingly spicy. If the menu says spicy, don’t expect fire—more like a pleasant kick. Everything was generous in portion size, nicely presented, and tasted fresh. Spice Level: As noted, even "spicy" items are reasonable. If you love spicyv food, you might wish for a bit more heat, but for a broad range of palates this feels well-calibrated. Overall: Mu Lan delivers solid Taiwanese food in a friendly, bustling atmosphere. Great for sharing with a group. Would definitely go back.

Family dinner during Labor Day weekend. Place was packed with lots of Asian customers. We ordered from one of the dinner set menus plus a few other dishes. Food was exceptionally authentic and tasty. They reminded me of the typical Taiwanese wedding banquet food. Service was quick and efficient. Ambience was lively, noisy and joyful. My entire family of 11 adults enjoyed the meal very much.

We got pick up so I don't know if this had anything to do with the food quality. But the lo mien was meh. The pork and leek dumplings tasted off. I ended up throwing them away because I didn't want my kids to get sick. The general tso chicken was okay. We did not enjoy the beef Mongolian. The fried shrimp was soggy from the grease. The sweet and sour chicken was decent.

Taiwanese foods not so tasty, i think doesn’t use msg too much if any, worth to try if your craving Asian food

For nearly 2.5 years, I lived just two houses away from Mulan. Despite always seeing it bustling with customers, I never got around to trying it—until a friend’s wedding finally gave me the opportunity. I got to sample a wide variety of dishes, and I’m seriously kicking myself for not going sooner. From tofu to chicken, fish to lobster, dry dishes to rich curries—everything I tried was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and left a lasting impression. The service was just as impressive; despite our large group and a packed restaurant, the staff remained attentive and efficient. The dishes just kept coming, and I eventually had to admit defeat! While I skipped a few due to their spice levels, the ones I did try completely blew me away (metaphorically speaking). If you haven’t been there yet, don’t make the same mistake I did—go now!

Went to Mu Lan Waltham with the crew after the business trip. Very nice food, great portion, fairly authentic! I really enjoy the meals out there and thanks for keeping me satiated! The atmosphere is great for social gathering and chit chatting. Feels like home when you’re abroad.
