What Jade likes about Mr. Holy Gao:
I have been here a few times, good for a quick work meal or gathering with friends and family. The price is very fair and it is an authentic Chinese place! The good Chinese food usually takes lots of skills, we do not put lots of spices when the ingredients are fresh. Looking forward to trying their Shanghai hotpot! View all feedback. What Krajicek (teadrinker) doesn't like about Mr. Holy Gao:
Searched for Ma-dasao but come to a link called Mr Holy Gao. The restaurant owner must not want reviews. The rating is more like 2.5 Came here because it is close to work. Owner changed and food went south. My friend’s Hainanese chicken rice was too yellow. Was it dyed. Garlic shrimp was too salty. The chef must have a heavy hand on salt. Noodle bowl was ok. When we pay the bill, the waitress won’t let go of the hand... View all feedback.

Long wait, mediocre food, and there's a lot of better places to get GOOD Chinese food. Okay if you want Chinese food on a budget though.
