Black pepper beef had no black pepper flavour whatsoever and the noodles were in the main box with the beef meaning you get less beef, less noodles, less everything. Green chicken curry didn't have its signature green colour from the green chili's that should be used, it was more of a grey colour and couldn't taste authentic Thai flavours at all. Its really disappointing for almost 30 euro you can't get 2 decent meals. Won't be using again. It's not rocket science just cook tasty food you're getting top dollar for it.

However, the service is subpar and when it comes to delivery, charging a premium of €4.50 you would expect top-notch service. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If there are any issues with the order, customers should be informed. The excuse of being "five minutes away" is not acceptable, especially when it is not true. Overall, we have very little confidence in the performance of this takeaway. The service is very poor.

When my food was ready the staff member made eye contact but did not say a word , not even a thank you. I was not asked about payment just had the card machine moved towards me, I was not told the price etc.The food is lovely but I must say, after working with the public I’m aware that it’s very easy to be nice.

Recently I bought a main dish for €14 and the main came in a small rice container! I used to always have some left for a small snack the following day but now there is barely enough for the main meal. Come on, don't be cheating the customer. Give them what they are paying for. Don't be scabby. The other Mao franchises put the the mains in the full size container. I thought the whole idea of a franchise is that there is consistency between-all the restaurants??? I brought it to the attention of the manager before and they said I was correct that they give smaller portions sizes here though said there was nothing they could do about it.

While the food was tasty, we found the portion sizes to be smaller compared to other Chinese takeout places. My teenage children were still hungry after the meal, but we all agreed that the quality of the food was good.
