The good: It’s a beautiful restaurant and the service was adequate. The Kung Pao Scallops were good as was the Sesame Beef and Chicken. The Crab Rangoons were ok but nothing to write home about. The bad: the Potstickers tasted like they were frozen and...purchased from the grocery store. The Salmon was bland and extremely dry. I would also not recommend the Spring Rolls. The ugly: this was for my wife’s birthday. This was noted on the reservation but it wasn’t mentioned at any time throughout dinner. I at least expected them to wish her a happy birthday. For the price we paid I see no reason to return to Molly Woo’s. Overall it was a disappointing experience.More

We met friends, for a total of 9 of us, and we had reservations on the outdoor patio. It was a perfect day and the lunch was great! We had a great server, Taylor, and we were very well taken care of. Everyone loved their...meal and most of us had too much, so they took home food for another meal. Great selection of food to choose from. The meals were resonably priced for the amount of food you received.More

Sat outside and enjoyed some lovely spring weather. We each had a poke bowl, mine salmon, my wife's tuna. Both excellent. Draft beer was tasty, wine served nice and chilled. Will definitely be back.

Consistently and friendliness is there per Cameron Mitchel brand. Sushi rolls are average. Lettuce wraps bland but salty. Bao are Columbus good. I love the Kung Pao Scallops and curried shrimp dishes. Fans of sweeter love the pineapple Chicken dish. Drinks are lack luster. Wines...are all grocery store bottles. Cocktails are all on the sweeter end, made without precision or balance.More

It’s a fun atmosphere with the red Chinese lanterns inside. I had the Firecracker chicken with fried rice. Food is good but not any better than other restaurants I’ve been too with a similar menu. The crab rangoons were very tasty and I Would try...some other dishes too. We had a nice family dinner and I like being able to make reservations.More

Great flavor and service! Chicken bowl with brown sauce was excellent. Inspired me to make it at home. California roll was fresh. House salad had a refreshing Asian flavored dressing.

A 3.5 rating…formerly 5. We have been coming here since they opened and I’ve always loved their “healthier” and more affordable Menu. However, in recent years, though still a decent value, the food has gotten saltier & saltier to the point where many dishes are...not edible for our family anymore. They also used to have the friendliest, most attentive staff until a couple of years ago. Same boat as many restaurants where they can’t be as choosy, apparently and they have been shortstaffed lately, but we miss the courtesy & more sophisticated atmosphere of yesteryear.More

Could not decide between here or the place across the street. Glad we pick here. My wife had to pineapple chicken with fried rice. After many years of one favorite oriental restaraunte she now has a new one. Says it the best she has had....My Hunan chicken was also very good. Service was excellent, thank you Lisa. Would definitely come back when in the area.More

The food here was mediocre at best. My daughter's Poke bowl was soggy and floating in liquid, and the sushi was average at best. The calamari was sub-par.

Arrived at 4:00 in the afternoon, were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, very few people in the restaurant, told it would be at least 45 minutes as they waited for diners that had reservations! Booths were available as well as at...least 20 tables, rude, non caring hostess, won't be back, just not worth the trouble as this place has declined in both service and food quality...More

The place looks like it could benefit from hiring a maintenance person because a lot of the decor seemed dinged-up, shabby, cliche and dated. The menu is predictable and boring with only a few unique twists like the kung pao calamari. The service was sluggish...but I think our waiter was new and much of the delay seemed to be in the bar and kitchen. The food was slightly oily, bland and unrefined. Nothing was terrible but nothing was excellent either...sort of like if Red Lobster opened a chain with asian cuisine.More

Molly Woos has a variety of great food choices including gluten free options (I have celiac and need this). They are very careful to avoid cross contamination and I love eating here. The wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is pleasant and...they are very effective with the current COVID restrictions.More

Pains me to write negative reviews but here I am. We sat at our booth for 13 minutes before anyone asked what we wanted to drink or eat. Ordered cocktails appetizers and one entree, the drinks came 5 minutes after the appetizers did. Not sure...why it wasn’t that busy. After eating sat for quite a long time before they asked if we wanted anything else or our tab. On top of that the spring roles and bao buns weren’t worth the price tag. No better than any Asian restaurant. Lo mein was quite good but didn’t make up for everything else. Unfortunately probably won’t be back. BTW the waiter was extremely nice when he was at the table, no issue there.More

The last several years my wife and I have had our anniversary dinner at this establishment. We'll keep on going back, as they treat you like royalty! We asked for a couple of things that weren't on the regular menu. Our server, Alex, talked to...the chef, who came out and asked us what we would like. He then adjusted the ingredients to meet our specific requests. The meal was fabulous, the service extraordinary (the chef even came back later to make sure we were happy with his creations!). To top it all off, they offered a free dessert because it was our anniversary. You can't get much better than this!More
