My go-to dishes are usually Singapore noodles and barbecue ribs. The noodles were delicious as always, but unfortunately, for the second time in a row, the ribs were tough and not enjoyable. My daughter also loves Chinese food, so she was disappointed that I had it without her last night, prompting us to have it again tonight. She ordered vegetable spring rolls with chicken chow mein and absolutely loved it. I stuck with the Singapore noodles but opted for squid instead of the ribs, and both dishes were very satisfying. I asked my daughter to mention the issue with the ribs on our last two visits, but this feedback did not seem to be well-received. It seems that the ribs are a popular dish among other customers, but they just aren't to my taste. It's possible that the lunchtime rush may have influenced the quality of the ribs in the evening, as suggested by another diner. I believe that Mayling could benefit from being more open to feedback, showing humility, and offering an apology for the disappointing experience. Unfortunately, we have decided not to order takeout from Mayling again.

The staff is helpful and the food is satisfactory. I appreciate the solid wood bench-style tables. The Malaysia fried rice, Singapore fried rice, and chicken noodle dishes are particularly tasty. While the prices are a bit high, the overall experience is positive. -Great food.
