When I heard this place was from Taiwan, I wanted to try it since I tend to enjoy other chains that have originated there. I got the jasmine with oat milk & amber (boba in brown sugar since the normal tapioca ran out) at 30% sugar and I enjoyed it! It wasn't too sweet and the tapioca was nice and chewy. I would say this place even rivals some boba places on the east coast. Plus the price is affordable. Would def go again whenever I'm visiting family.

My family and I were in town visiting from Cincinnati and needed a place for lunch. We have been to…read moreyellow Springs many times, but hadn't heard of or tried MAZU yet. I checked out their menu online and was super intrigued. It is a cute restaurant with fun, cultural vibes and a tiny, but tasteful patio in the alley. We ordered fried mushrooms, a hummus platter, and a refreshing drink that I cannot remember the name of. I believe it had saffron and cucumber, and maybe basil, seeds or something. It was super delicious, only lightly sweet, and perfect for a hot day. The fried mushrooms were absolutely wonderful. They were sourced locally, and the batter was really flavorful. They didn't even need any sort of dipping sauce. The hummus was good and clearly made fresh. We enjoyed the pita as well. The service was also great. It was fun to read through the specials as there were some really creative offerings My only reason for giving four stars versus five is the portion sizes. I am fully aware of inflation and sympathetic to its impact on restaurant owners, but we paid a lot of money for a small portion of hummus, one cornichon, a few triangles of pita, and three olives. The mushrooms were also pricey, but that was a little more understandable given their local sourcing. I really would love to try more things on the menu, but would only go back if I was prepared to spend a pretty penny in order to fill my belly.

I was a bit worried as it looks more like a night club from the outside, but the food was fantastic! We ordered the popcorn chicken, the Shanghai noon burger, mama Chien's dumplings, drunken noodles, a cobra old fashion and a local beer (paper cloud?). The chicken had some unique seasoning and the drunken noodles were phenomenal; the noodles were giant and cooked perfectly and the dish has some unique touches like pea pods that you don't usually find. You order at the bar, but even with that the service was great! A server brought out an herb for us to try that is in many of their dishes. They checked in on us several times and even refilled water, which you get yourself at the back. The customer base was very diverse. I'm guessing the place may turn more club-like later at night, but for dinner it's a perfect family restaurant.

I loved watching the bartenders make the drinks. It's mesmerizing. We tried the Koji Popcorn Chicken, Ezzo Pizza Dumplings, Seasoned Fries, Mama Chien's Dumplings (pork & sweet potato filled). All the food was amazing. I ordered a Kopiko Espresso Martini that I will go back 10x over to have again and again. I would say the only thing I'm not a huge fan of is going up to the bar to order every time you need something. I think they could really thrive using a QR system and/or digital tabs to make that process simpler. Also so you don't have to keep leaving the table. Either way, definitely worth it to check out!

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

The Jam Pong -- a Korean seafood soup -- had fresh calamari, clams, scallops, and mussels in a deeply flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice. The vegetables tasted fresh and vibrant, and the seafood portioning was balanced perfectly. The wontons were equally impressive, with what tasted like freshly made dough wrapped around pork filling and finished with a rich, flavorful sauce reduced just enough. Service was excellent. It's a family-run fast casual spot between MVH and UD -- you order at the counter and they bring the food out. The place was spotless, prices were very reasonable, and there was a steady stream of pickup orders all evening. No alcohol, just really outstanding food. Can't recommend it enough -- we'll definitely be back.

Not sure what the difference is between lunch and dinner special besides the price increase. My husband and I shared a dish, we upgraded to the fried rice. There's not a stick of vegetable or even the faintest taste of meat in the fried rice. It's literally their white rice thrown in a wok. There was very little chicken in the dish, and despite it being "spicy "it has literally no spice I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness. If you're going to have fake flowers all over, at least dust them! It's a little concerning to sit eating a meal, looking at an inch thick dust on all of the plants.

The chicken was chunks of thigh meat on the bone and had bell peppers and potatoes. Sounds simple but MAN! Delish! It also had fresh noodles in a separate container. I also ordered hot n sour just in case I didn't like it, and I tasted it but couldn't put the Dapanji down. Hot n sour was also fantastic (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). The eggroll was so so fresh and crispy. Not oily at all and the texture of the meat (white meat chicken) and veggies was PERFECT! This was probably the best door dash meal I have ever had. I must try eating in the restaurant soon! Side note, they also packed everything in the cutest containers and included utensils (spoon, chopsticks, toothpick)
