Most of the food we ordered actually wasn't bad, but I couldn't get over how awful their Taiwanese oyster pancake was. When I first saw it on the menu, I was really excited to try as not a lot of Taiwanese restaurants in Toronto offer this dish and it's one of my favourite things to eat in Taiwan. But the one at Mabu left me unimpressed. The pancake had chives and lettuce instead of the cabbage that's used in authentic Taiwanese oyster pancakes. There were also only a couple tiny pieces of oyster and not a lotta sauce, so the whole thing just tasted like starch.
Even though the other items we ordered weren't all that bad, I probably won't be going back given their prices are quite a bit higher than other better and more authentic Taiwanese options in town.
