Mai Little China Reviews
This is the greatest hidden grm.of Greenwood, MS. The food here is fresh and authentic!! My family and I can't get enough. They catered for last Christmas and it was AMAZING!!
This place has become one our usual / favorites. I've never had anything from there what was not absolutely top notch.
We held a reception at Mai Little China following my mother's funeral. They did a fantastic job, the food was delicious, service was great and our guests enjoyed themselves! Thanks Cathy, Matthew and staff!
One of the best original Chinese food restaurants I have ever been to. I haven't had anything on the menu that I don't absolutely love. The food is so clean, and not greasy whatsoever when served. Chef Matthew and and the staff are amazing. Highly recommend
The best Chinese food ever. Very accommodating with special diets, I eat gluten free and have spoken to the chef several times to know what I can and cannot eat! At lunch time they have an American and Chinese buffet both are delicious! At night it turns into a fine dining experience with white tablecloths and candles. No matter when you get a day or night the food is delicious
My mother and I ate a late lunch/early dinner there today. We thought they were closed because they have them listed as closed between two and five, but we discovered that this refers to their buffet. I was surprised by the ambience of the restaurant; table clothes and a vase of roses on every table, plus beautiful art on the wall. Our waiter was extremely kind. I ordered orange chicken and a side of chicken lo mein, and my mother order general tso's chicken and a side chicken fried rice. Our food was very delicious; we are DEFINITELY coming back again.
I am from the city and try to take that into consideration when I am in small towns. For Greenwood, I was too hard on this place in my initial review. I know small towns are happy to have places to eat and this place is worth putting on your list. Am thinking about the egg rolls, that post roast, potatoes and carrots and corn!!!!
I've had Chinese food all over North America Toronto and Vancouver, this place is even better than New York or any other place I've been to in North America. I've eaten her several times while in Greenwood filming a movie, and every meal is absolutely amazing ! It's NYC CHINESE food in steroid in flavor! My fiancé can't wait to try the steak it has quite a reputation here!!
Family owned, Greenwood treasure. Generous portions for multiple meals-- pork fried rice is my fav and you can't go wrong with any of the protein
