In Short
Hardwood picnic tables and colorful propaganda posters from China's Communist Revolution mirror the character of the clientele: informal, quirky and hip. Solo diners can grab a seat at the communal table and chat with… Read Full Editorial
My Review by kenh612994633 via Citysearch on 10/19/2013
One of my favorite small spots on the eastside serving up Asian fusion delights!
My Review by danielh1460306871 via Citysearch on 3/18/2013
Mao Zedong is a well documented, well recognized Communist Dictator who murdered tens of millions of people during the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Please do not support this restaurant, the name is revolting and an affront…
NEVER AGAIN! by RCogo via Citysearch on 9/27/2009
I went here even after reading the reviews about bad service. We had no wait, and got our order taken right away. Food came not too long after. But the waitress brought us water when we first got there and never came back to offer a…
great by Evan Birenbaum via Citysearch on 9/13/2009
Had Maos delivered.. I was very impressed with the food. Quality all the way and speedy delivery. Best Chinese delivery Ive had in the area for sure.
servers are horrible by hiangza via Citysearch on 9/2/2009
I usually order from there, but recently seems like they changed servers. Before they changed servers, the service was alright. However right now, they are really rude. Today i was really need to use bathroom around there, so i went in…

excellent delivery service and food by patmacedo via Citysearch on 3/16/2009
I always order food there for lunch, the food is execellent , always hot, fresh and affordable. And get this, the new driver is a girl and she is awesome. Kudos for Mao's, I love having a girl bring up my lunch. \r
Keep up the good…

gone downhill by bhman via Citysearch on 8/18/2008
ate here two days ago and two weeks ago. the food was rank and undercooked. service was worse! been going to Mao's for years but won't ever again. a joint in serious decline.
Dining at your peril by MrMurph via Citysearch on 8/17/2008
Come here for willfully bad service, the uplifting theme of mass murderer as pop icon, or an astronomical ratio of popularity to quality (hint: the higher the ratio, the worse the restaurant; mao's is crowded and the food ranges from…
Amazing healthy delicious by greenbridgemed via Citysearch on 7/30/2008
People who say this place has "bad service" have obviously never worked in a busy restaurant and are impatient for a good thing. Mao's has delightful service-but they are in a rush. Don't expect them to hover over you. The plates are…
Mao's is Venice...deal with it! by sciarro via Citysearch on 4/19/2008
I have eaten at Mao's since its inception when the place was empty and continue to order take out. I have seen many arguments for and against this establishment and I can understand each. The staff does get overwhelmed by the masses and…
Great Food, most awful service I've ever experienced. by tonofun via Citysearch on 12/9/2007
I've been going to Mao's on a semi-regular basis for over three years now. The food, as always, has been consistently good, borderline great for the price. The ingredients are always fresh, the dishes aren't too greasy, and the menu is…
Good Food...BUT NEVER ORDER FOR DELIVERY...EVER...EVER...EVER by ultratiger via Citysearch on 12/4/2007
When I eat in:\r
Nice waiters. Relatively fast. No real work involved for them at this establishment, but more often than not they give the extra effort.\r

When I order for delivery:\r
Here is my typical workflow when I order…
Good food, but horrific service by coconetherland via Citysearch on 5/21/2007
i've been to mao's a ton of times, and without fail, each time, I am astounded by what is horrible service. The waitstaff are, as a whole, extremely rude, and the food takes forever to arrive. Everything seems chaotic and disorganized--…
Greasy but good by dmenkes via Citysearch on 11/15/2006
I've been here a few times, sometimes to sit down, others to get food to go. Either way, the food's decent if not somewhat heavy on the cooking oil, but their meats are decent and their vegetarian dishes are good as well. The real reason…
Hitt or Miss by freakstar via Citysearch on 9/24/2006
I live in Santa Monica and have ordered delivery from Mao's Kitchen three times. I've never dined in or had takeout but in reference to all the reviews on here citing poor customer service, I have to say that each time, the food was…

Horrific Customer Service by xxmidasxx via Citysearch on 7/28/2006
I had been a loyal customer for a number of years. I never once thought the food was outstanding but you get what you pay for and this was always a quick, cheap and mediocre way to satsify a craving. I recently ordered take out ($50…
