Uncle Mao's Chinese - Darien

To bad, this fine restaurant is closed for good. They retired. A great loss. They had the best all around food. A deli will replace this spot.

This is our first time ordering from here. The food was delicious and it was good portions. Definitely will be ordering from this place again.

Uncle Mao’s takes a while, but it’s so worth it. It’s been a staple for my family for over a decade and we’re very sad to hear of its impending closing. The food is just top notch, some of the very best Chinese I’ve ever had.

The lady was nice even though there was a little bit of misunderstanding at the beginning when we ordered. She took care of it. The food looked good when it was brought out and tasted great. We had no issues other than my wife finding a hair in her broccoli which was a little gross. The lady was apologetic about it. The sesame chicken and chicken fried rice were both pretty good though.

I was so excited for this, until I found a long piece of hair wrapped in my broccoli. The sesame chicken is pretty good, but the sauce is a little too thick and almost taste like bbq sauce. Also, the water had a yellowish tent to it so I was reluctant to drink it. The food has a lot of potential, but their sanitation and cleanliness definitely needs some work.
