| - Mabu Station appears to be a sit-down fast-food Asian cafe, as evidenced by the tray of pre-poured cups of water I saw the server take from. Dingy, worn mucus-green vinyl booths on one side, floor-scratching metal patio chairs with tables on the other, Mabu Station appears to be due for a decor refresher.
Service was relatively efficient. I ordered a mango lychee slushie and a bolognese spaghetti/chicken cutlet combo. Overall, not terrible. A basic tomato and mince meat sauce with cheese broiled over it atop very ordinary spaghetti noodles, something easily prepared at home. The chicken cutlet was okay as well, with a Taiwanese-popcorn-chicken-like crust/batter and the meat was not dry; the crust extended beyond the meat quite a bit and fell apart from it when cutting in. Portion size would have been acceptable had it been five dollars less. The slushie was actually not bad, comparable to sugar marmalade's with special bubbles that encase a burst of juice, but smaller for the price tag.
Overall, an unremarkable, slightly overpriced meal of convenience. Probably their strength is the variety in their menu should you be looking for a place to eat for a divided/indecisive group. Otherwise, given the various other choices nearby, I'd likely recommend elsewhere.
