Food With Heart and Soul
I found this place from internet reviews as I am new to Leeds. I often research places first as I do not get to go out too often these days. I went on my own as my family live abroad. Mulan is a nice place in the old Jewish area of Leeds City Centre. I used to know this area well in my younger days. I spoke with the girl working there and she said it also used to be a school where people learned to bake and cook. She was a very sweet young girl and told me a bit about the purpose of the restaurant. It turns out that there are many different dishes in Chinese food and the people at Mulan want to share this with us. I don't know Chinese food that well, but she gave me little samples of dishes. Dim Sums she called them. And she told me Dim Sum means touched by the heart or a little bit of heart, meaning it was made with love for me. It was a lovely afternoon at Mulan, and the staff were superb. They were very helpful and the meal was not dear at all. I left not only full but also a little bit enlightened by my experience there.I would advise you if you go out for Chinese in Leeds city centre to support this place. Especially during this credit crunch time when I think all restaurants are suffering. They do some lovely dishes and seem to have and truly unique, altruistic approach to dining. I will be back and hope you fellow reader go and pay a visit too.

My Hevanley Experiance
What can i say, i was invited to go for a chinese. My friend suggested we go to a place called Mulan. Which is on Gower street just off Regents Street. She been there previously and thoroughly enjoyed it. Im not one to accepte others judgment till ive sampled the place myself. Which i did, and it was fantastic. Now ive never really been one for Dim Sum but Mulans choice of dishes really got the taste buds going. From a dish called Wartip, which is a form of meat filled dumpling to cucumber and garlic. Your usual spring rolls and spare ribs. A chinese menu wouldnt be one without them on. One dish i reccommend to anyone is the pappaya in vinegar. now trust me its not as bad as it sounds, in fact it's that good i ordered one to take away. You must also try the Mooli, which can come in two forms. Either a turnip paste with bits of prawn and sausage in. Or a mooli ball which has light flakey pastry on the outside.

delicious food and excellent service
The food here is so fresh and delicious its unreal! The food is prepared before your very eyes so you know it is fresh and to your liking. The noddles are the best i have ever tasted which is why i keep coming back again and again! The menu is full of variety so there is always lots to pick from there really is something for everyone. It does get a bit busy sometimes but you are never waiting too long for your meal. The staff are lovely and very polite. I will defiantly come here again and tell all my friends about this place.

Good Authentic Food
I went today and it was packed full of Chinese people. Looked like some kind of party. But it turns out it was a normal Dim Sum thing and it's really popular to sit and eat little dishes of food for ages. I went with a Chinese friend and she helped me choose. I was the only white person there and this place must be like a secret. But the food was good and everyone seemed to know everyone so it wasn't their first time. It's always good if there is Chinese in a Chinese restaurant I think. Really nice place and really reasonable prices as well. At the end we were totally full and only paid under a tenner each. I also highly recommend it!

Noodle Heaven
I've only been here a couple of times now, but every time it's great. It's a Chinese restaurant with a really nice relaxed atmosphere. I have taken my friends and my mum. There is not many places I can do that. The prices are really good, the food is great and I love the noodles. I think I have actually started craving them. They are so fresh you can see them being made in the kitchens at Mulan. There is this great dish that's simply called poached pork. I've been with my Chinese friends and they say it is just like back home. Be warned though it's massive and it's quite spicy! The first time I went I over ordered, which was great but I had no room for desserts. This time I went they had changed the ice-cream menu. I had a mix of green tea ice-cream and rose petal sorbet and he service was great they even brought me a sample of wasabi ice-cream (it was really nice but I went for the green tea). I was really impressed because I have never seem such a range of ice-creams and sorbets! Anyway, the whole night was great. And it was a lot busier than the last time I went. Definitely somewhere for the slightly more adventurous Chinese food-lover.

Little Secret Gem
I went here last night with my boyfriend. It took us ages to find it because it is off the beaten track. But it was worth it because we were going to the West Yorkshire Playhouse and it's only round the corner. Gemma, our host was great, she took ages and talked us through pretty much the whole menu (still don't have a clue about most of it) but it was all delicious. She evn organised for us to have this special demonstration which I have never seen before. The chefs came out and actually showed us how he made the noodles. It was fantastic. The whole night was a real surprise. We thought we were just getting a standard Chinese and we got a lot more. Would really reccommend this place. Give it a try.
