It was past lunch time and there were few customers in the store. I ordered a cup of Martini coffee. I was amazed by its taste. I didn't expect the bar counter in a Chinese restaurant to be so good. I don't know if the Chinese food in the store tastes authentic. I will try it next time.

The food was well prepared and so flavorful. Very nice to sit outside with good service. We had the scallion pancakea, cold sesame noodles, general tso chicken and bok choy. Large portions and not swimming in sugar or salt.

This is my favorite Chinese Restaurant in New York! Or of any restaurant really. Wonton Soup is great as well as their main dishes. Nice, comfortable environment, pleasant design and gentle and kind staff. Reasonably priced. Try it.

A nice find is Murray Hill, can see from the pics spiciness of the dishes and good portion sizes. Came out of the kitchen quick and hot. Chong chin chicken crispy and tender inside, got heat but not overloaded with crazy amount of pepper. String beans fresh and unwrinkled. Service was good except for a bit of lull in the middle of the meal. Place is clean and well decorated, give it a try with friends.

This place is awesome! The food, service, and drinks are amazing. Great date night location. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and the music is always on point but never over-powering. Highly recommended!!

What an amazing delight !!!! Tried the bottomless brunch -- and it was cheaper than all others ! But beyond that -- we couldn't even drink anymore than was provided without even asking ! Let's talk about the food !!!!! I have to return for every item on the menu. I hate even writing about this -- because I hate people overcrowding me -- Hahah. This is the hidden gem in our neighborhood !!!! Best service ever to boot !!!!!

I have been eating Chinese food all my life – really! Everyone has their favorite place and when my friend insisted we try hers I was not eager but Mazu did impress. This is a cut above the rest. The dishes are elegant and each one is special. It is like having Chinese food for the very first time. The staff is friendly and ask about food preferences/restrictions and happy to tailor the meal accordingly. I want to go back and try each dish. I think that is the highest compliment.
