Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went to this restaurant for the first time this week for a friend’s birthday . Food was delicious and the staff attentive and friendly - main portions quite large tho ! 2 mains for 4 people would be plenty - but we took the rest home and finished it for dinner the next night and it was still very tasty

My wife and I dined at Mulan Malaysian Restaurant on Mothers' Day. First time there and we really enjoyed the occasion - from the greeting to the goodbye. An authentic ambience. Once seated, the hostess introduced herself,offered my wife a complimentary cocktail, made very pleasant conversation and shortly after a waiter took our order. Both dishes Lamb Massala and the Beef Eye Fillet (the day's special) arrived, beautifully cooked with excellently spiced sauces. The provision of plates made it easy to share our meals. The staff were very friendly and smoothly efficient, the food absolutely delicious and the prices reasonable. Definitely a top restaurant.

We had the best time at Mulan. 1st timers and the service was so lovely, great vibe and very generous. We got a plate of complimentary beans because one of the dishes came out maybe 5mins later than the others, then the lovely hosts found out it was two of the boys birthdays this week so they bought out two pieces of cake and candles and had the restaurant sing them happy birthday. We will be back, the food was so delicious! Thank you for a lovely evening guys.

My wife and I made a booking to dine in at Mulan restaurant on August 18, 2024. We hadn't been before and were really looking forward to it. We ordered a variety of meals; some vegetarian and some with chicken plus entrees and drinks. We were really enjoying our time and the food UNTIL we finished, paid the bill and as soon as we walked outside my wife began to vomit and I had felt sick in the back of my throat. I wrote an email to Carol at the restaurant who replied to me asking to know what we ate and so we provided all of the information we had. I hadn't heard back from Carol for 3 days so wrote again asking for an update from what they had requested. Carol then replied and simply stated that the vegetarian dishes were made to order with fresh produce but then stated that my wife must have become sick from something she had eaten before coming to Mulan. There was no mention of what I had eaten and what happened to me. We know that this is very unlikely as being the case for my wife, as the food she had during the day was little and plain and the fact that BOTH she and I felt sick at the same time was too coincidental for it to be anything else other than something at Mulan whether in the food, drink or meal preparation. Carol's explanation in her email to me seemed to shut down any suggestion otherwise by saying that they had no other customer complaints from diners that night (this doesn't rule out the fact the other diners could have been sick later but chose not to report it, or that what they had to eat/drink was different to what we had). It certainly doesn't rule out the fact that what my wife and I had both experienced came from our dining at Mulan. Carol ended her email saying that their investigation had concluded. This left us cold and didn't alleviate any of our concerns and the almost certain probability that the vomiting and sickness came directly as a consequence from the food/drink we had at Mulan. As Carol had shut down the investigation and didn't seem interested in welcoming us back to Mulan in her email (we had explained to her at the outset that we were first time diners there that night) or even offering us an incentive for us to return (this is a basic marketing principle for generating and keeping business, whether or not it was the fault of the restaurant) especially after our harrowing experience. We were intending to keep this dialogue to emails between Carol, the restaurant and ourselves, but it seems to us that we haven't rea

As a family we went to Mulan for a birthday dinner. The menu is extensive and there is a children's menu. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. Squid, venison, prawn salad and a selection from the small plate menu. The service was excellent and we felt very welcome. As it was a birthday celebration we also received a complimentary desert of chocolate brownie, mousse and chocolate sauce with a candle and the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday. A lovely touch.

I love going to Mulan, the staff are always so welcoming and ask how you are, and the food is great with a really diverse and interesting menu. Love the Pad Thai, the Cauliflower Poppers. Good wine list. And if it's your birthday the whole restaurant will sing happy birthday to you!! :)

I was keen to try their Pad Thai but wanted a mix of chicken and tofu. I was told I could have a mix of chicken and prawn, but if I wanted a mix of chicken and tofu it would be an extra $5.00. I explained I was happy to have less chicken so I could have the tofu but the 'chef' refused. I can buy a whole packet of tofu for less than $5 so the restaurant was just being greedy. The chicken pad thai was way too sweet. My dining companion had curry which apparently was good. Very very noisy, and tables are jammed in like sardines. Won't be back, would much rather go to Thai Isaan down the road.

Mulan is one of our favourite restaurants and we paid it a visit last week for a treat as I have had some health issues recently. It certainly didn't disappoint. All the dishes we ordered were superb, especially one of their signature dishes "Golden Shield" (spicy squid) which is compulsory ordering. The Restaurant has a special "family" atmosphere with great service and Carol,the host, makes you feel most welcome.

Wonderful food, excellent friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Clearly these people know what they're doing as the restaurant is always busy when we've visited. Last night was the forth time we've been there.

I am very fussy with my food and was nervous to try anything spicy. However Carol and James were very accommodating and I had a very delicious beef curry and the best satay I've had in a very long while. My kids loved their meals too. Thank you for making us welcomed. We'll return!

I love this restaurant it is my favorite place to go and have dined here many times with family and friends over the years never have I been disappointed with the food or service. Carol is such a lovely woman and always goes out of her way to ensure you have a fantastic experience, and the food is exceptional. This restaurant caters for everyone couples, family, friends, business, and those enjoying a meal on their own.

I went to Mulan with 3 friends one evening last week. We all ordered different meals. I can only comment on what the general feeling the others had in regards to quality. Everyone was extremely happy with what was served up, My Massamam curry was the best I have ever had. I normally order this meal if I am at a restaurant that has it on the menu. This meal eclipsed every other by some margin, very good indeed.

This is definitely one of the Best Restaurant in Auckland. I stayed in the city but when I came across this restaurant I just had to go and give it a try. It was a 15 minutes car ride or a 20 minutes bus drive from the central city to Mulan Restaurant. The food was amazing that I revisit again the next day to have a taste of the Laksa which I loved and their cocktails are amazing. Also do not forget to try their dessert, my favourite would be their white chocolate brownies. It was beyond everything and I would say it was the perfect dessert to end off the night. If someone who’s far away from home just on a vacation or is living in Auckland you should visit their restaurant as they have one of the best Malaysian food. The restaurant owner’s hospitality would be a 5 star, because that’s was how good they were My most favourite would be the “ Char kway Teow “ but nevertheless without a doubt i guess all their food would taste amazing

This family run restaurant is truly wonderful! By far the best Malaysian restaurant I've found anywhere outside Malaysia! We were a group of five people dining out for a small birthday celebration. One vegetarian, four omnivores. There was another larger table there also dining out for a birthday that evening. The entire experience was absolutely fantastic. The decor is elegant and tastefully presented. The ambiance is jovial and vibrant, and while it's quite loud, the atmosphere is set for a truly wonderful evening as soon as you step inside. The menu offers a diverse assortment of delicious dishes, and portions are deceptively filling. I sampled four of the five dishes between us, and each, though very different, was perfectly prepared! And it doesn't stop with the food! The wine list is impressive, and the beer list is unprecedented! Most bars have only a small selection of the beers at Mulan! But it's the service that really captured my attention. The restaurant was packed; they were at full capacity. At times like these, it is typical to experience delays and errors with meal and drink delivery. Not here! The staff remained at ease and friendly, with flawless service throughout the evening. They are unobtrusively attentive, and efficient with their service. This adds immeasurably to the enjoyment of the evening. A huge terima kasih to Carol and her team of staff, who are also her family. Between her and Gabriel, Ashok, Daniel, and Darrius, we were treated as valued guests in her truly wonderful restaurant. Unless you're looking for somewhere quiet, I would absolutely recommend an evening out at Mulan Malaysian Restaurant. They really exceeded my expectations, and I am happy to travel from east Auckland to dine there again!

One of our favourite restaurants, luckily it’s not far from home! Food is authentic and tasty, service is excellent and beverage selection is very good, serving a favourite Chardonnay as well. BYOW is also very handy and appreciated. Worth a visit or two.
