Mabo Chinese Food

Surprised to find they have a Chinese-Korean food menu. This is not just a Chinese takeout restaurant but it offers Chinese-Korean style food like jjampong and jajangmyeon and Chinese-Korean style sweet and sour pork. We order the 3 most popular Chinese-Korean dishes and the food was good. Glad there is a good Chinese Korean style restaurant in Allen.

It was an excellent experience. The owner was very welcoming, attentive and even suggested a plate that he thought I would enjoy better, after I requested to abstain from using a spicy confident.

Very good black bean noodle. Probably the best in town. Owner couple is really friendly too.

Service was fast. Food was meh. The facility looks as if the owner is on a 9 month trip to China and left the out of work brother-in-law in charge. Colored bubble wrap covering the front window to block the setting sun. 10 foot aluminum ladder and industrial box of soup bowls that should be in storage conveniently kept in the open. Entrance floor mats look like rodents have been snacking on the edges. Fast and friendly. Needs work. Too many good restaurants around to be so subpar.

It looks like the bad reviews are from those who had American-Chinese food. Try their Korean- Chinese food like jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) $13, tangsuyuk (Kor-Chi version of sweet and sour pork) $20 for small, kanpoong saewoo (chilli shrimp) $41, and etc. Unfortunately, these menus are only written in Korean and it's expensive. But if you're not on a tight budget, try them. The service is slow since the male owner is the only chef and the female owner serves the food.
