Mulan: Chinese and Delicious

Midtown is littered with condominiums that guarantee fabulous walking-distance venues for food, shopping, and social outings. But when you live in one of these high rises, you can sometimes get quite homesick, literally. Mulan cures your craving for Chinese by occupying one of the neighboring Victorian houses right on the corner of 6th and Juniper.

Atlanta Midtown is littered with condominiums that guarantee fabulous walking-distance venues for food, shopping, and social outings.  But when you live in one of these high rises, you can sometimes get quite homesick, literally.  Mulan cures your craving for Chinese by occupying one of the neighboring Victorian houses right on the corner of 6th and Juniper.

On that block of restaurants consisting of gorgeous, renovated houses like the Fifth Ivory and the Takorea, Mulan serves Midtown its Chinese fix in a pinch.  Its patio illustrates a more humble dining experience along with its quiet, quaint lobby.  Eating downstairs is more of the casual, laid-back experience when you just want a friendly and cozy meal.

The entrance door exhibits a montage of a multitude of previous diners before you, all of them posing with that kind of smile that communicates, “I’m both full and content.”  When you walk upstairs, you find dramatic spacing opportune for various events ranging from private dinner parties to business luncheons.  There’s a haunting elegance about it that beckons patrons to fill and admire the outlandish and bold streaks that fill the interior’s décor.

As for the food, Mulan adds to your standard Chinese set of fried rice, vegetables, seafood, meat, and noodle dishes with a few entrees that are uncommon to a Chinese menu: Thai curry plates.  So for those rare days that you feel like kicking it up a notch, try the milky, medium-spiced Panang or the spicy, dry-roasted Red Curry.

Self-proclaimed to specialize in their seafood department, Mulan also occasionally switches up their Daily Specials such as the Hunan-styled steamed whole Snapper.  An area of China, Hunan is a special preparation of a lightly flavored meat such as chicken or steamed white fish and transformed with a touch of light soy sauce and a pungent, fresh burst from scallions and ginger.  It is fantastic with your blank canvas of a starch, Jasmine Rice, paired with a Pinot Gris or Riesling on a hot summer afternoon.

Their wine list boasts a wide range of whites from Viogniers and Pinot Blancs to match well with their lighter end of their culinary spectrum.  With their category of Reds, Mulan sports more of bolder, heavier varietals like Shiraz and Zinfandels to accent rich ingredients such as eggplant and steak.  Thursdays to Sundays are fantastic days to experiment with varietals you may have never tried prior as these are the days that Mulan hosts an event called “International Wine Tasting,” which allows diner to enjoy their meal with “bottomless” wines.  It’s recommended to call ahead for pricing information and which wines will feature that night.

With a ton of options for your meal, dessert must of course, be light and cleansing.  Finish dinner with a scoop of green tea or coconut ice cream or a variety of tasty Cheesecake flavors such as Raspberry, Dulce de Leche, and Classic New York.  If you want to make a decadent combination, order coconut ice cream and the fried banana fritters so you can create a rich, tropical finish to your meal.

 Last but not least, Mulan does have an expedient and efficient service when it comes to carry-out or delivery options.  If you live around the block, it’s always nice to treat yourself to a quite flavorful lunch after picking up your dry cleaning next door or prescription down the street at CVS.  Or if you’re a professional working in one of these nearby offices, and you’re running a little late due to your board meeting, pick up the phone and let Mulan save the day once more.
