" What a quirky and cool Thai spot! Mao Mao took me on a journey to another world with its mesmerizing decor. The cocktails were divine, but I found the food a bit lacking in quantity. The curry was tasty, yet the price seemed high for the portion served. Overall, I recommend it for its atmosphere and fun ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" For my birthday dinner, Mao Mao was the perfect choice! The decor was whimsically nostalgic and vibrant. The food felt genuinely Thai, especially the curries. The only downside was the wait times for food; they were a bit leisurely. But despite that, the staff was friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place I would recommend to others looking for tasty Thai cuisine in a lovely setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" A memorable experience at Mao Mao! The atmosphere is truly a highlight; it feels both nostalgic and vibrant. My dining experience was marred a bit by the portion sizes. The rice dishes, although delicious, came out smaller than expected. That said, the flavors, particularly in their soups, were packed with authenticity. I’d recommend it for the experience more than the food quantities. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mao Mao was truly unique. Stepping inside feels like entering a vibrant Thai street market infused with cinema vibes. The food, especially the dumplings and green curry, felt authentic and full of flavor. However, I wish the portions were a bit larger for the price paid. Overall, I had a fantastic time soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the delicious dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Mao Mao given its reputation, and it didn’t disappoint! The visually captivating setup creates a fun atmosphere that feels like a mini-vacation. The dishes, especially the tom yum soup and the crispy spring rolls, were truly fantastic and tasted quite authentic. My only complaint was how noisy it could get, but that didn’t ruin the experience for me. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Thai flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mao Mao is a treasure! The cinematographic decor pulls you right into a different world. I loved every moment of my visit. The food was rich in flavors, resembling true Thai flavors more than any other Thai restaurant I’ve been to in Brooklyn. While certain dishes were a little salty, that did not detract too much from the overall experience. Large portions are not standard here, but I was satisfied with the variety. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mao Mao was a fun experience from start to finish! The ambiance is delightful and interesting, making it a great spot for friends to gather. While the food was tasty, I did think it lacked some of the depth of flavor I was hoping for. But the decor and vibe definitely made up for it. Would I come back? Yes, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
