Mao Hunan 很好吃! This restaurant is legit good and it shocked us how good they are for a Chinese…read morerestaurant in Milan. Mink was craving Asian food again (after 2 meals in Italy) and so we looked at different options online. Based on photos of the food, we decided to give Mao Hunan a try. I made the commute myself and got us takeout. When I got there, only 4 tables were occupied but shortly after I ordered my takeout, the entire restaurant was full and there were people waiting outside! I seriously was getting excited to try the food after seeing this. While waiting, I noticed their modern and clean decor so I wasn't worried about the cleanliness of the restaurant. It only took around 15 minutes or so to get my order. We got a fried rice (Riso saltato di Changsa con salsa soia uovo e verdurefried rice with egg vegetables and soy sauce I think) and beef dish (possibly Manzo con pepe e verdure beef with pepper sauce and vegetables). Not 100% sure on the names of the menu items because I showed him screenshots of what we wanted from customer posts. I also asked for spicy sauce on the side along with a fork and spoon for Mink. Unfortunately, they only offer chopsticks. I rushed back to the hotel so we could eat. The bag was pretty heavy and when I opened up the containers, I could see that they were very generous with the beef. They took great care to pack the beef dish and the chili oil. It was wrapped up very well with Saran Wrap to prevent any leaks. Great attention to detail on this. I let Mink dig in first since she was starving at this point. All I could hear was "aroi" which means delicious in Thai. When I finally ate a few bites, I could see what she was talking about. It was unexpectedly really good. The chili oil also had a slight kick to it so it didn't disappoint. I'm starting to embrace Mink's Asian food cravings in Europe now because we have been finding some amazing places to eat. This place reminds me of some food I had while in China so the reviews are accurate. For those of you in Milan that haven't been to China, this is just like eating from there. All of it for only €21! What amazing value for what you get! Fast forward and Mink wanted Asian food again! She specifically said to go back to Mao Hunan because she really liked it the first time. It's extremely rare we go to the same restaurant twice in a trip but we did. This time we ordered a Tagliatelle di riso con manzo e germogli di soiarice tagliatelle with beef and bean sprouts and Ravioli di maiale in salsa Sichuan piccante dumplings of pork in Sichuan spicy sauce. This time I asked the guy what each menu item was called to be sure lol. We also got this order to go. The dumplings were incredibly soft and the beef chow funn was really good. This time it was only €17! Must try if you're in Milan and craving Asian, or Chinese, food!

The pockets of Asian communities in LA have amazing Chinese food, but this food takes it to the next level. We order some a variety of things and every dish was fantastic. The one small gripe I had was the mapo was too sour to eat alone and with rice it was not the best. It's interesting that they named the restaurant after Mao Ze Dong though, a dictator that killed millions of people. Maybe it's a satirical joke of sorts? I will never know. I very much appreciate the food though. Cheers

Both tasted like they'd been frozen beforehand and were among the worst meals we've had in Italy. What made it worse was the service. We were completely ignored the entire time. When we did get served, it was no eye contact and just staring at us to tell the server what we wanted (and that was after I had to wave them down!) At first, I thought they were giving us privacy, but everyone around us had their tables cleared and were offered dessert while we sat with our finished plates for at least five minutes. When we finally got up to leave, they stopped us to offer dessert, which was a nice gesture, but by then, the experience had already soured. There was no music playing either, making the whole meal feel awkwardly silent. With so many great options in Milan, I wouldn't recommend this one.
