Hunan Mao - Rosemead

My family enjoys certain dishes but they are inconsistent each time depending on what ingredients they decide to use. Still I go back and try to be understanding. The staff are always friendly but I do not think they are there anymore. Who I see all the time is who I precieved to be the owner. I do not know if I be going back anymore base on business practices and attitude. I always do takeout now due to covid. I have in the past called to place my orders. They are inconsistent in answering the phone and when they do, do not understand what you are ordering even though you are reading from their menu. Then it was easier to do online ordering via ChowBus. It worked except they do not read the ordering notes. Today, I tried to call in my order. No answer so I just ordered through ChowBus. When I got there, she said she does not take online orders. I told her I paid already and she was annoyed and acted like this is my problem-not her's. Then I found out she does not accept ChowBus. ???? I then asked if I can place a order and she said no as they were closed even though I was there before their closing time. Then I asked which day they are closed? She unpleasantly said we are close tomorrow. I aways been a easy customer. Usually my orders are over a hundred and I have sympathy for business so I tip always when doing to go. In return I get no appreciation. All I get is the expression that I am not wanted. Now I have to figure how to get my money back.

Nah, go to chili king for better taste.This is just plain spicy

A good restaurant with Chinese special cuisine has very good service. The waitress helped us take pictures, and the dishes are very good taste and quickly. The price is reasonable.A perfect experience here.

The food is delicious with generous portions, and the staff is very courteous! Be sure to try Mao's Braised Pork Belly and the bean curd with julienne peppers!

The duck was also tasty, but the vegetables really stole the show for me after the fish head. I’ve never had lettuce stems prepared this way before; I plan to order them every single time from now on. They were incredibly crunchy and perfectly seasoned – I could have easily eaten two orders if I had more time! The eggplant had the perfect texture; I’ve never been able to get my eggplant to stay this crunchy! It wasn’t greasy or mushy at all – I simply couldn’t get enough! It was perfection! The bone broth was an excellent soup to cleanse the palate and paired well with the rice. We requested mild heat for most of the dishes, but I now realize I could have handled a bit more spice. Still, it wasn’t lacking in heat either. I was so disappointed I didn’t have more room to try additional dishes! I really don’t understand the negative reviews; I blame those who wrote them. It might help if someone in your group orders in Mandarin, though, haha! I would give it six stars if I could! The service was fast and courteous, and the food was beyond amazing!
