" Such an adventurous dining spot! Mao Mao made me feel as though I had been transported to another era. The food was decent, particularly the curry dish I had. I agree with some that the portions are smaller but flavorful. The service was excellent, so I would definitely consider coming back for the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mao Mao is a gem I’m happy to have discovered! The decor and ambiance made for a cozy atmosphere that felt refreshing. The food surprised me with its authenticity; I loved the mango sticky rice! It's a little on the pricey side for smaller portions, but the quality is definitely there. I enjoyed my visit and am eager to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Mao Mao is what draws you in, and it definitely delivers on uniqueness! I was charmed by every corner of the place. The food was decent, but it could use a little more spice. I did enjoy my experience overall, especially the creative drink choices. This may not be my go-to for Thai food, but it's worth checking out for a good time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mao Mao with some friends and was excited based on all the hype. The decor was striking, resembling a retro Thai film scene, which I loved! However, while most of the food was good, some dishes felt too bland compared to what I expected from authentic Thai cuisine. Service was attentive and friendly, which made a considerable difference. It wasn't a total win for the food but the ambiance makes it worth experiencing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at Mao Mao last weekend! The vibrant decor and the comfy seating make it an ideal spot for friends to gather. I tried the fried chicken and papaya salad, which were bursting with flavor. I've visited several Thai restaurants, and Mao Mao managed to capture that authentic street food essence perfectly. I didn’t mind the smaller portions because I was enjoying the setting so much. I’ll be back soon! " (*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*)
