Mister Mao

This restaurant was amazing in all areas! I didn’t have a reservation, but the hostess was extremely kind and accommodating and seated me at the chefs bar. The cocktail I ordered was well crafted, the dumplings were to die for, and the decor and cozy feeling to the restaurant made the experience one of the best ever. Will dine here again when I’m back in NOLA!

Amazing dinner at the chef’s table. Every course was better than the last. Incredible fusion of spicy and fresh with great presentation. Very tasty wines by the glass. Couldn’t be more pleased with the meal. Recommend highly! Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes … More

This place is the wakeup call a jaded palete needs. The chefs are creative with their fusion approach. What they produce isn't just unusual or surprising for novelty's sake, but it just tastes darn good. We loved everything we ordered from appetizers (pakora) to sharables (scallops, octopus, grapefruit & mango salad, dumplings) to dessert (Royal falooda). As expected from a tiki style place, cocktails were delicious and creative. Service was great, helpful and attentive. We sat in the bar area, which interestingly was quieter than the main dining area. I love it that they don't take themselves too seriously (they describe themselves as "unapologetically inauthentic") but take their food quality and flavor very seriously. If in Nola, check it out!
