We were very impressed by our two visits during our recent stay in Cambridge. The food was very good, the staff was pleasant and efficient, and the price was reasonable. We had Chicken with Broccoli, Beef with Broccoli, General Tso's chicken and Kung Pao chicken. The ingredients were very fresh, excellently prepared. We will be back.
This is a Taiwanese restaurant with great food and lots of seating options, meaning it’s easy to take a large group here if you make a reservation. The food is delicious and comes out quickly. There are many options for veggies, seafood, meat, and others. There are foods of varying spice levels for different spice tolerances. Some of the rooms have tables that spin so food is easily shared amongst larger groups. Try the Mu Lan fish if you come!

Excellent food and service. Had the hunan lamb, mapu tofu, fried rice, duck, and pork dumplings.
This restaurant has great food. The staff are very friendly.The restaurant also have private room for bigger parties.I would recommend this restaurant for those who want Chinese food outside of Chinatown.
Granted the restaurant wasn’t busy at this time, the service was immediate and many food followed quickly after. The food is always hot and tasty. I ordered the eggplant, chicken fingers, minced pork rice and steamed dumplings
This was my first time trying Taiwanese food. It wasn't crowded but the place was nice, service was quick, portion size were hearty and I had a peaceful time enjoying my food here. Will definitely visit again. They can use little bit of more cleaning the dust but other than that, it was fine.
First time dine in this place, was very disappointed with my favorite dishes. The cook doesn’t cook authentic Chinese food.
I went to Mu Lan with a group of 5 so we were able to try a lot of dishes. We selected from the recommended dishes. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes but am not sold on all of their flavors.Crispy chicken in chili garlic sauce: get this! It's a lot of chicken and it's definitely crunchy. I prefer the flavor of Chongqing dry chili chicken from other restaurants, but it's hard to beat the chicken to pepper ratio in this dish.Pork with bamboo shoots: This is a big mound of pork and bamboo! The pork is tender and the bamboo is plentiful. There was a weird sour taste that I think came from the bamboo. The first few bites were really good (A+ texture) but the sourness got to me after a bit.Shrimp with bean curd: the bean curd sheets are extremely smooth and hot and delicious. The sauce is a pretty typical white sauce and pairs well with the dish. I think this dish should be called bean curd with shrimp because there was not much shrimp (especially considering the price). Luckily I love tofu sheets so I still enjoyed this.Taiwanese pan fried noodles with pork: Unremarkable, tastes like chow mein.Eggplant with basil: The eggplant was a bit too soft for me and it was sweet with no spice despite having the pepper symbol next to it. Definitely my least favorite of the 5.Overall I really liked the crispy chicken and enjoyed trying their offerings. As it stands I would go to 5 spices or Dumpling House over Mu Lan but I hope to get to try more of their dishes in the future! The serving sizes were larger than expected and they had a lot of items on the menu.
I think Mu Lan is well worth the trip. The restaurant itself is unassuming and modest, and has a cozy feel. While the restaurant brands itself as Taiwanese, and they do serve some traditional Taiwanese dishes, my understanding is that the kitchen is mostly mainland Chinese. Even so, the dishes here hit all the right flavors. I recommend the veggie leek pie and veggie dumplings, which are done very well.
