Most Disliked
While Mulan garners plenty of positive feedback, some diners express concern over the prices, describing them as slightly steep for certain dishes. A couple of reviews note that while the quality of food is impressive, the cost can accumulate quickly, especially during larger gatherings. Additionally, some first-time visitors reported a delay during busy hours, which can affect the overall dining experience. For a few patrons, the noise levels during peak times may detract from their enjoyment. Though the feedback on portion sizes is largely positive, there are mentions that certain dishes could benefit from a bit more variety in the menu.

We visited the Mulan for my partner's birthday last Saturday. We were a Party of 5 Adults and this was the first time we have been there and I must say we had a fabulous experience. The food was exceptional, piping hot and extremely generous portions at a very good price. It is safe to say that we will definitely be returning.

Great food, lovely staff and nice view! We visited Mulan last month on a kind of last minute date night! The food was fresh and tasted great. The prawns in plum sauce are amazing! The portions were great. In terms of price is a bit on the high end side but worth it. Definitely we will visit again on another special occasion.

Staff are lovely and the food is amazing. Thought the prices for the portion sizes were a bit steep. For myself and my partner, it was £60 for 2 starters, a sharing platter, a side of rice and 2 drinks. Would come back.

Really enjoyed the food. I'm really picky about the quality of the meat I eat (I hate fat and gristle) but found the sizzling steak dish amazing - so good in fact that I was back within a month for more!

I ate there yesterday Saturday 08/06/24 18.15. I ordered salt, pepper and chilli king prawns for a starter they were hot and delicious. For a main course I ordered roast duck in plum sauce, it was hot and delicious. Also Singapore noodles with no mammal meat, chicken, prawns and vegetables only. It was hot and delicious. Portion sizes were good and quality excellent. Service was friendly, efficient and professional. There was no service charge automatically added so I left a 10% tip. I can highly recommend the Mulan for a pleasurable eating experience.

We had a wonderful meal while holidaying in Northumberland. The service was great, very friendly and accommodating. The staff were very engaging with the children which is always lovely. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. We all thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend and revisit.

A party of 7 of us visited Mulan for my 60th birthday. Service was absolutely brilliant. The food was hot, plentiful and really tasty. We enjoyed banquet B . If there's something that you don't like on the banquet staff are happy to swap out things. As stated earlier, service was really good,we didn't have to wait long for the food arriving at the table. As the staff knew that it was my birthday an ice cream dessert complete with candle was bought out for me. A lovely touch which I greatly appreciated. We shall be returning to eat here again.
