Bright and cheery, this is one of the most popular Asian Fusion venues in Dublin. The white walls - adorned with photos of Chairman Mao in an Andy Warhol vein - and primary coloured seats give it a real feel-good factor. As it is constantly busy, and you can't book a table in advance, try to get there before the crowds. And, with a new coeliac menu, Mao has yet again increased its popularity. For those of you on a diet, the menu kindly notes what dishes are low in fat so no need to fret while munching on a tasty morsel. The Five Spice Chicken is one of the favourites.
