Fantastic food! Surprisingly authentic, lots of great roasted chillies, and szechuan peppers in my chicken main. The tofu appetizer was divine.

We had Yum Cha for lunch at Mu Lan it was great the dishes came out hot and fast but not too fast. The dumplings are great we had blue eye with coriander they were to die for.We also had chicken strips that were really nice and tasty. The best sour and hot tofu has to be served at Mu Lan it was fantastic . The waitress was very nice the atmosphere great. We didn't get to sit in the booths this time because they were all booked but maybe next time.We will definitely be eating here again.

I had takeaway fro this restaurant yesterday. They're relatively new, been open a few months.
The menu certainly isn't reminiscent of the typical Australian-style Chinese restaurant that makes us all cringe - all the menu items are modern and interesting.
I had Five Spiced Lamb Cutlets (2 cutlets) for $11 (couple of dollars more on the dine-in menu) from the appetiser selection, and Di San Xian (sautéed potato, capsicum and eggplant) for $14 ( again, a couple of dollars dearer to eat in).
Both were delicious! The Di San Xian was a very generous serve, enough that I'm eating half of it for dinner again tonight!
The lamb cutlets were wonderfully crunchy, not at all oily or soggy (as fried cutlets can often be) while the meat was tender and flavoursome, and the vegetables were tender, with crispy pieces, and again, not soggy or oily.
I checked out the dine-in menu while I was waiting, and it is identical to the take away menu, with each item a couple of dollars more expensive, as one would expect.
I rated the value at 4 stars even though $25 is a bit more than I'd normally pay for take away, because at about $30 for both dishes total if dining in, it would be extremely good value indeed.
Appetisers are from $6 - $16, main courses $18 - $28, soups $8, vegetable dishes $10 - $16, and rice/noodles $10 - $16, with plain steamed rice only $2. This is from the take away menu - as I stated before, items on the dine in menu were, on average, $2 more.
There's a good selection of chicken, beef, lamb, pork, seafood and vegetable dishes, with one duck offering also, and a few traditional Chinese restaurant dishes - spring rolls, chicken & corn soup, wonton soup.
The menu also states there is no MSG.
My experience for the service is necessarily limited - the waitress who took my order was friendly and efficient, and it took about ten minutes to fill my order - which I thought was very reasonable, as I assume they cooked the cutlets to order.
The restaurant is fully licensed, with BYO wine only. I can't comment on corkage, as it obviously isn't listed on the take away menu.
I will certainly be returning to eat in here, and dragging my friends along with me!

Approximate cost: $25
