Mao's Kitchen - Venice Beach

This place is always busy, and every time I go I am reminded why I keep coming back. The food is delicious, very tasty and good size portions, and a really good value in Venice, where it can be difficult to find good food that isn't overly priced. Don't expect much in the way of aesthetics or nice utensils, it's all the about the food, as it should be.

Great spicy Chinese food!! Went here for a quick lunch with my family after visiting Venice Beach/ Sta. Monica. Good service and good food. The restroom could use more cleaning.

This place has great lunch specials. The serves are probably on the larger side, so don't order too much unless you're ready for it! I had the szechuan eggplant, which was fresh and moreish.

Fantastic food, value and service. Definitely eat here if you can! Some of the best Chinese I've had

It's so good! The service is very good as well. Very relaxed vibe and they are open until 3 a.m.
