“ We trekked over to Yellow Springs specifically to try Mazu. I had high hopes and they delivered. The food was exquisite. The experience was intimate loved the bar seating. My wife, seven year old daughter, and I enjoyed all the dishes. Were already thinking about our next trip. Thank you for the great food! ”
“ This was my first visit and the place smelled amazing the moment we walked in! This restaurant offers a small and cozy environment. The tables were clean and ready for seating when we walked in. The silverware is at the table for you to choose from including chopsticks. The menu is limited and our group got a variety of dishes to try and share. Everything we had was delicious. Its great to have another vegan option in the area! ”
“ The food was fantastic we tried about 4 things and all of them were great. The hummus and falafel platter was delicious, and the Dan Dan noodles were so good we ordered another one. The sauces with the scallion pancake are delicious and every single ingredient is fresh and bright. The space is warm and clean, and thoughtfully laid out. There is plenty of outdoor seating, and a good amount of indoor seating as well as a kids table. The attention to detail from the food to the space itself is impressive. The Mazu Eats is not to be missed. ”
“ What a fantastic, amazingly delicious new place. The food is so good that youll want to order one of everything ever time you go. The mushrooms are cooked in such a way that youd never know they were mushrooms! Every item Ive had here is above and beyond and tastes like something that supernaturally satiated my taste buds. The crew is fantastic, friendly and goes above and beyond. We are so happy they are in our little village and hopefully got a long time to come! ”
“ Stopped in with a large group of family 6 people for lunch during the holiday season. The staff was extremely accommodating and helped us organize a big table. However, the food for the group came out rather slowly. We still had a great meal and enjoyed everything but this may be a better place for small groups who want a quick meal. Everyone enjoyed their meals but with only one person in the kitchen things take time. I would still highly recommend checking it out just only do so when you arent in a hurry. May be better in summer with the outdoor seating. ”
“ Came here after protesting. Best hummus and falafel Ive ever had. Mango drinks are awesome. Fried mushrooms were really good. Staff were cool af. EAT HERE. ”
