Mao At Home

Food is decent but the delivery man had a horrible rude attitude. When asked why the delivery was 35 min late he said it was not his problem, that my order was the fourth on the delivery list etc. Do not order delivery from here.

For a fan of Asian cuisine this is a huge let down. The prices are only slightly below average for a good take away yet the quality of food and meat is below par. No incredible spices or any particular interesting dishes, and I’ve tried it a few times. Not my cup of Thai.

I had the honey sesame chicken, 10,95 €, the rice wasn’t fully cooked, the chicken was meant to have been breaded in tempura but it wasn’t, it had also been microwaved and dry.
Mum had the calimare which was very tough. The stir-​fried greens were extremely oily as well.

My boyfriend and I went here late this evening & got take out. He got a duck curry & I got a veg & tofu curry. When I got home there was no tofu, but there was some unidentified meat in my dinner. I don’t know, I don’t eat meat. I called them and was immediately met with an attitude. No apology. They offered for them to credit my account… Seriously? I was not planning on a second visit so I asked for my money back. They asked for me to keep the incorrect curry for evidence I assume.
When the staff member arrived at my door she examined the curry in an almost accusatory fashion. Eventually handed over the money saying «here» and walked back to the car without another word.
Now my issue is not that they made a mistake, that happens, but the way it was handled was completely unacceptable. I was treated as though I was the one who had done something wrong. They also completely missed a potential pr moment.
My boyfriend described his curry as grand. There are plenty of better take always in south Dublin, go elsewhere.
NEVER AGAIN.

Better than average take away fare, prices are not bad given the quantity you get. The one complaint is that although the don’t seem to be on the menu, some of the staff regularly sport chips on their shoulders.
