The Mullan in York

Visiting for the first time, from Nottingham. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, food was great, good parking, decent portion sizes, what’s not to like! Would recommend.

Visited here a lot of years ago and again a couple of weeks ago, the food is still amazing. We went for the set meal for 2 which was more food than you can shake a stick at! A selection of starters, duck pancakes and a choice of main meals (see pics) for £26.50 per person, very good value. The service was fast and attentive. Will be regulars I think now!

This review is simply about the food. The service was friendly and efficient. Having been many times to The Mulan as a post-Cinema treat we were looking forward to the usual high standard. Unfortunately, the food - e.g, salt and pepper ribs are largely bone and fat and the main course chicken dishes are now tough and tasteless. Have they forgotten how to 'velvet' meat? The prices are also getting silly. Can no longer recommend and will not be returning unless the food improves.

My husband and I decided on a set meal (think it was the Deluxe one), it was absolutely delicious and so much food we took the rest away. We were going to add on soup but glad we didn’t. It’s such good value for the amount and quality of food. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. There is a two course meal at lunchtimes which looks incredible value, so we will try this. Can highly recommend and it was the best prawn toast I’ve ever had.

We visited the Mulan tonight for dinner for the first time We have fussy children and they done everything that the kids wanted Fresh Food Big portions and lovely staff Highly recommend :)

Our family of 7 went to the Mulan for my birthday treat. The food and service was excellent. Prawn toast and spring rolls were the stars of the starters. Salt n Pepper chicken, and Crispy Chicken in OK sauce were the main course stars. Tom and Denise provided excellent service.

We have used this restaurant for almost 30 years it was and still is the best Chinese restaurant in York We had the Sunday special lunch and it was delicious again. Thank you

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years now and I always find the food to be good value and enjoyable. The atmosphere has never been anything special and the staff have always just been there to serve you and that's about it. We went for lunch and quite frankly this will be my last visit. The plates were not clean! The starters we had of spring rolls were cold and tasteless. The mains weren't too bad but considering 4 of us picked egg fried rice we got 1 scoop each by the waitress and no more. There's a male member of staff that works there that has no customer service skills at all. He rushes you to make an order and then tries to stare at you to get you to leave. He's rude and he gives you the impression that you aren't welcome and too many people are going to experience this and not turn up again.

Found the service to be very rude when visiting this restaurant. We booked a table and arrived ten minutes early to be greeted by a grumpy man. Not from the area and visited based on reviews but wish I’d went elsewhere.

This is a great place for Cantonese cuisine. We ordered salt n pepper squid and the honey sesame chicken starter. Both were superb. For the adventurous mix the 2 starters together for a taste sensation. Mains were the Singapore Chow Mein and the Sizzling Fillet Steak in bean sauce. Truly awesome!!! We will be back again without a doubt.

Food was amazing and came out very quickly. Really decent range of stuff to choose from. Staff were brilliant and very nice. Nice and spacious - our table for 8 was really big with a handy lazy Susan in the middle (really cool!). Very reasonably priced. Generous portion sizes also. Will 100% return :) definitely found a new favourite restaurant and take away

We have been looking for a good Chinese take away for as long as we can remember. The Mulan was recommended by our good friend Miles, so we ordered a take away last night (14/04/23). My wife and I both agreed that it was the best Chinese food we have ever tasted! The king prawn in ginger and onions was to die for, as was the chicken chow mien and sweet and sour chicken. It is collection only, which we didn't mind as it is near to where we live and the staff serving were lovely, polite and attentive. This is now going to be our go to Chinese takeaway and we will definitely be ordering again very soon! The food was hot and was full of vegetables (went to another one recently that was just different colours of beige), whereas the food at The Mulan was colourful and very fresh. Big thank you to all at The Mulan - it was really lovely.

me and my partner both thoroughly enjoyed, hands down the best we’ve had. it’s a 40 minute drive from us but it’s 100% worth it and we will be back. Food was very well priced, delicious! and the staff were attentive and very friendly. Thankyou for the great experience and we will most definitely see you soon!

Called here for lunch today .My step daughter and I ordered the crispy spring rolls,these should be renamed cabbage rolls , as they were all they consisted of.My husband had soup ,which was thin ,tasteless and watery.As for the main course my husbands meal was brought out with the rice and we were left to wait while others tables were being served.Our main course eventually arrived and my sweet and sour was small and next to no sauce,cold and very disappointing,the other main course of was not eaten as was told had a very strange taste.Staff were miserable gave us the impression that we were not welcome.Will not be back or recommending to anyone

One of my favorite restaurant. Visit this restaurant everytime when I travel to York. Their foods tasted much better than last time when I visited.Staff was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was great.

Been a few times and dont understand some of recent poor reviews..We had exceptionally good food, quick, attentive and freindly service. The food is wonderful .very fresh ..well worth a visit.

Used to be a fantastic local restaurant but they're in the process of repossession (checked Companies House) which explains why quality and service has gone drastically downhill in recent months since Maggie left. Assume that they're just trying to get rid of the excess stock...

We stay this hotel and our stay were perfect Just because of staff and friendly environment Room was perfect Nice sitting area Will came back

This has been one of our favourite restaurants for many years however tonight was a disappointment. It seems it has new management. Service was extremely slow, food wasn’t great. Never checked to see if we were happy with food. Never asked if we would like...

This was the latest of many visits to this restaurant. We were allocated a table and provided with "fixed price" lunch menus, which provided a good range of choice Orders are taken at the table. When served the meals were of good quality, but the...

Had a Fabulous Night on New Year Eve good food with good service. 3 courses meal with huge portions, We enjoyed so much definitely recommend

Went here for a meal. 2 of the people working there had a very loud argument whilst we ate. It was a very uncomfortable meal. Very abrupt and unfriendly staff. Food was fine. But left feeling upset at how we was treat. Mulan is under...

We absolutely love this little Gem, the food taste fantastic & what's more its right on our doorstep! The Staff are always welcoming & friendly. The Banquet is simply out of this world. only gripe is that the prices have sky rocketed ( like everywhere...

This place is fantastic! It's tucked away in a 'blink and you'll miss it' location but we're so glad we did. The food is very reasonably priced and tastes AMAZING!! We've been a few times now and will continue to return for what is undoubtedly...

Warm welcome from friendly staff. Excellent service throughout. Sunday set menu was excellent value and beautifully cooked Never enjoyed chicken and sweetcorn soup before this one!! Highly recommended for Sunday lunch and child friendly too!

Having eaten here many times with no issues my friend and I arrived 1t 12.30pm for lunch. We were shown to our table and given menus. Eventually our order was taken. A while later 3 more people arrived and were given a table and menus,...

First visit for a long time. We required lunch and on arrival were reminded to enter our car registration into the tablet to cater for the parking time limit in the adjacent car park. We selected from the good range of choices on the lunchtime...

Me and my boyfriend stopped by for a meal before going to the cinemas but sadly don’t think I’ll return. Pros: Sweet and sour prawns nice Sweetcorn soup nice Cons: Staff very blunt Prawn toast dripping with oil and soggy Chicken chow main slimey and...

Lunchtime visit and once again an outstanding meal. Such a pleasant experience with great food and first class service. Excellent value too. Many thanks..

How this establishment gets anything higher than a 1 star review is beyond my understanding. I can only assume those that do have no idea of what good tastes and looks like in Chinese food. Dreadful take away - crispy duck oily and chewy with...

We visited here when we were in York for a few days after reading reviews on Tripadvisor and we are glad we did. We had the banquet and the food was absolutely amazing. Portions are very generous and everything was delicious. Easy to find and...

Visited this restaurant with friends whose b&b we were staying at. They had been telling us for a while how good Mulan was and boy did it not disappoint. From entering to leaving everything was first class and the service from Maggie the owner was...

Food was ok but salty overall. And the waitress is impolite to customers. I would never visit again.

Absolutely sensational !! The best Chinese restaurant in York. Wonderful evening with family celebrate definitely recommend .

We visited as a group of 6 for a family birthday, had never been before but some friends recommended it. We had a lovely evening- the food was delicious and plentiful, the service was great and I was surprised at how busy it was for...

Everything here is perfect, the food, the service and the ambiance. We have just visited and again, enjoyed an excellent meal. It is always consistently excellent! We recommend the paper wrapped chicken, the aromatic crispy duck and the rice dishes but anything you order will...

Went for birthday celebration and had the set menu for 3. Food and service was both excellent. Had enough to eat that took leftovers home for another meal.

The best Chinese food in York and excellent service, we came to celebrate my Mother’s 80th birthday today absolutely wonderful. The waitress made my mother sooo special and happy. Thank you THE MULAN

The restaurant failed to advise me that there is a two hour limit on the car park. The food took a loooong time to come and I received a fine notice from the private car park company that I stayed at the car park for...

I don't normally do reviews but i feel it's time to tell people about this little secret restaurant that's tucked away from the city as the last comment as upset me the drinks menu is on the table when you sit down so please check...

£4 for a soda water and lime - £3.50 for soft drinks from tap and £24 for 4 beers. Food, service and ambience good but not pleased with drink prices - asked what we wanted to drink - we didn’t ask for drinks menu -...

Great portion sizes and a wonderfully tasty midweek treat. Staff always willing to accommodate bespoke dishes. Salt and pepper ribs are to dream of. Restaurant always full which is a great sign for an out of town venue. Enjoy!

It was warm and service was friendly. We didn't expect all the starters to be deep fried in breadcrumbs or batter. We especially didn't expect crab claws to be deep fried balls. The mains of fillet beef were tasty enough but a bit underseasoned. It...

Visited with my wife. Not a large place but still good atmosphere. We had set meal which I would recommend. Food very tasty. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely food, lovely service, great atmosphere. What else do you want? We ll come back again. Great value for money on their lunch menu, you can’t beat it.

Very bad service. At least 1.5 hours from order to serve . Very long waiting time and some members of the stuff were not so friendly

Have used this restaurant many times and never disappoints. Went with friends who live on the other side of York and they have often mentioned they would like to use this restaurant again. Shared three starters, rice, noodles, sizzling prawns, crispy beef and three bottles...

Got a taxi from our hotel to this place.Seems to be in the middle of a load of car show rooms. On entering the restaurant we were the only customers which was a bit of a worry. We were shown to a table and given...

Been going here for over 10 years. I go at least once a month for a takeaway, even though i now live 45 minutes away. I have found Nothing even close to the Food and service on offer, at The Mulan. Maggie leads the Team,...

A simple but good Chinese restaurant. The dishes were all tasty and fresh. Unlike most Chinese food this had subtle flavours and want full of sugar and salt. The fried rice was yum too.

This is a great value and very tasty lunch stop …. The food and service is absolutely fab u lous ! Highly recommend… all dishes are fresh and hot and a great size

Four of us had Sunday lunch at The Mulan today. Absolutely amazing! We are all foodies, and I've eaten here previously and been impressed. My three guests had not previously eaten here, one said it was the best Chinese he'd ever eaten. We were all...

Visited this evening for the 3rd time and chose the luxury set meal. Everything was outstanding from the greeting, service to the food. Really cannot fault anything and for the hosts to greet you with a "nice to see you return" has weight in gold....

We have never eaten here before and have been looking for a good Chinese since we moved to the area 3 years ago. We had heard good things about Mulan but haven't been able to visit during Covid and so this was our first opportunity....

What a gem this place is. Service and food was amazing. Staff couldn't do enough for us and advised what we ordered was enough even when we thought we needed to order more. They were right... highly recommend the Mulan.

We are staying in York for a few days and booked at the Mulan, so glad we did. The staff were very good and couldn’t do enough for us, the food was fantastic, what a great experience. We would definitely recommend..

We went today for the lunch menu and it was absolutely beautiful! Service was excellent, very fast, efficient and polite. The food was so fresh and delicious! For a 2 course lunch for £7.20 per head was fantastic! I am still full 7 hours later!

Had time to kill before we went to the cinema and consulted with google for nearby chinese restaurants. Mulan came up top of the list and it didn't dissapoint. Very clean throughout and the staff went out of their way to provide a good service....

Phoned for a takeaway ladies attitude before i said anything left a lot to be desired food was quick when i got there but not as good as it used to be very disappointed ill give it one more go if its same it will...

A better Chinese you won’t find in and around York. A locals preference away from city centre but portions are huge, dishes are authentic and tasty and staff serve you friendly. Enjoy!

OMG, this was the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. The portions were huge, very tasty and fresh. We had the set meal for 2, which could have fed 4. It was nice to be able to choose your main dishes...

Beautiful restaurant with exceptional food. Had the banquet, delicious and absolutely loads of food. It’s great that you actually get to Choose your mains but beware there’s so much food! Well cooked and presented, wonderful staff and very COVID safe. Alittle outside the city (3miles)...

Just been tonight for a set menu for 3 it was beautiful the best Chinese I’ve been to in a long while by the time we had the starters we were struggling there was then the duck n pancakes then the mains way too much...

The best Chinese takeaway around York, adding some quality and portion size to their competitors. Staff ensure they listen to your dietary requirements and service is efficient, if not the friendliest. Lemon chicken was enjoyable and the Singapore rice had a good kick to it....

Very generous portions, especially the Singapore rice. Also the attention to detail on satisfying dietary requirements is A1! Ain’t no Hakasan but it’s not pretending to be, just your standard, tasty Chinese. Enjoy

Me and my work colleagues ordered 6 lunch time meals at £5 each. Great menu, value, portion and taste. We would deffo recommend and will no doubt be using in the future. Thanks from the logistic boys at ADVA

Had our third takeaway from The Mulan .. easy ordering, friendly staff, fast service, and park right outside there lovely restaurant and takeaway. Food delicious. I drive by several takeaways to get to the mulan I think that says it all!

i have been visiting this Restaurant for some 8 Years. The Owner Maggie, always makes me feel very welcome, every time i visit. The food is Consistently, Fresh and Well presented. The Portion size is large enough to cater for even the Biggest appetites. Covid...

Just come back from having Sunday lunch and what more can you ask for but having good food and good value off the set menu 3 courses for less then £10 They followed all COVID precautions here and the service from staff was very helpful...

We came here for dinner last night and it was amazing! The staff kept to COVID guidelines and was clean place! The food came out quickly and tasted amazing, the staff answered all questions about the food and would come again!

Very delicious Cantonese food. This Chinese restaurant has well served dishes, well priced and all of us loved our dinner. We do recommend!!

We visited for our Son’s birthday meal. It is our favourite family restaurant. As always, the food was delicious! So tasty and the portion sizes are really generous. The service is exceptional. They made our son feel so special. They are also absolutely nailing it...

I am not a lover of Cantonese food but my friend is so we chose to eat here and I must say I am glad we did! The food was amazing! I will definitely return. My friend was equally impressed.

We’ve been visiting the Mulan for a couple of years for takeaway and recently enjoyed it in the restaurant. It really is the best Chinese in York! The staff are so polite and service is brilliant. The food is absolutely incredible with decent portions. Would...

We have been regular visitors here as the lunch special is really good value . We decided to visit shortly after the restaurant had reopened and found it was offering the eat out to help out scheme making it cheaper than a sandwich !... Tables...

Found this gem on trip advisor. We are a group of friends who are renting a house near York and were looking for somewhere to eat. The Mulan came up and reading the reviews looked almost too good to be true. All I can say...

The sunday set menu is very good for the price. We go often. The staff are friendly and the food is very nice.

Great experience, the food was so good! The chips were amazing! Then we had chicken foo young and sweet and sour chicken and curry sauce and egg fried rice. Great tasty food, lovely staff who were so helpful! and very quick service! We will return!...

A very friendly restaurant, great value food, especially the £7.20 two-course lunch offer. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially as my partner has quite a few allergies. It's a very open and spacious restaurant, well-lit, with plenty of windows. I'd recommend calling ahead...

It’s great to see the Mulan back open for a restaurant meal. The usual great service & lovely food. Thank you 👏👍

Ordered lunch for me and a colleague for takeaway and it was one of the nicest Chinese's I have ever had, very good pirce. Will definitely be back

We have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions and are not usually disappointed. The same applied on this visit for lunch. A straightforward menu very competitively priced. Excellent quality and quantity of food with very pleasant and friendly service. The common-use car park...

Only our second time getting a takeaway here, the first time we didn’t know the prices but paid the going rate, however we went tonight after looking at the menu which advertises a 20% discount for takeaways.....we were NOT given the discount, very annoying, didn’t...

Out with extended family, and some picky eaters, the staff even made a dish that was not on the menu for a guest who is not a fan of this kind of food. Couldn't fault service and food was good, would not be adverse tp...

Myself and friends visited the Mulan yesterday. Have say the service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious and portions were more than I have seen at other restaurants I have visited. The atmosphere was very laid back and we will definitely return for another...

Can’t fault it!! Three of us went to the Mulan and found the food to be excellent. The service to be exceptional and the price to be favourable

Excellent meal again, all my family’s enjoyed,thank you the Mulan make us so special we all love it. the food is 1st class the Services is wonderful. Highly recommended this place for everyone.

This was my third visit to The Mulan and it was the best yet. I go to Vue every few months with my Dad and we always have dinner afterwards. Now, Clifton Moor has no good restaurants whatsoever so The Mulan is the only shining...

Another visit and once again a nice meal had. No fuss and decent price. Staff always polite and smart . Will de5be going back again.

We recently ate here and unfortunately we were very disappointed.. we ordered chicken curry to find they use mock meat covered up with pretty hot spices..

Very busy restaurant but not lose the service staff are friendly the food is freshly cooked and excellent. We will be back again soon.

Excellent food as always, staff very attentive friendly, high quality of food,first class service it provides BEST CHINESE in York. Can’t count how many times we’re been,

I've been here on several occasions with my family. My partner and I went in for lunch today. She had the bbq ribs starter but got one rib and one strip of gristle. The one full rib that she got had shattered bone all over...

Prices are fantastic and staff very attentive. I’m not from the area so visited with family. The meal has got to have been the best chinese I have had both in restaurant and in takeaway. Meals were tasty and well presented. I recommend this restaurant.

a great little Cantonese Resteraunt . very good food and a nice choice of menu. generous portions as well . excellent service . ample parking space . all at a very reasonable price . you will not be disappointed

Fantastic food, great service, very clean, reasonable prices, good takeout service. I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy this restaurant. possibly the best Chinese in York.

Lovely Chinese but BEWARE of SLOW SERVICE resulting in PARKING FINE! I went with 3 colleagues for an early dinner and we were there 3 HOURS!, we waited 20 minutes for the bill, resulting in a parking fine of £60! Apparently you can only park...

My family and I visit this restaurant often. It is consistently perfect. The food is absolutely delicious, the paper chicken is a favourite of ours but all of the dishes are tasty, fresh and perfectly balanced. Please ignore the previous horrible review regarding the portion...

ordered the set meal there was a surcharge for all fish dishes an extra £2.00. had the Squid in ok source there were only 6 small pieces of squid in the dish.

Went recently for lunch. Fantastic value for money! Great Chinese food and friendly staff. Can't fault it for lunch time
