28/08/2024: Delicious and spicy. One of my favorite spots for a quick dinner. Definitely not a place to go to if you’re looking for a combination between relaxation and eating as it’s basically always crowded and the chances that you’ll end up eating just inches away from the couple next to you is pretty high. Also most definitely not a place to bring your small children to. Yum!

Maoji in Milan is not just a Chinese restaurant, it is a sensory experience that transports you directly to the lively streets of Sichuan. From the moment you enter, you are surrounded by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with typical furnishings and soft lights that create an intimate and convivial environment.
The real protagonist, however, is the food. Maoji's cuisine is authentic and prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each dish is an explosion of flavors, a culinary journey through the different regions of China.
Among the specialties not to be missed, there are certainly the wanton with Sichuan pepper. These delicate ravioli, filled with juicy meat, are served in a tangy, spicy broth that will leave you breathless. The taste of Sichuan pepper is intense but balanced, it does not cover the other flavors but enhances them, creating a truly unique harmony of flavors.
Besides wanton, I also got to try other delicious dishes, such as fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce, stir-fried noodles with vegetables and spicy pork. Each course was a delight, cooked with skill and attention to detail.
The service was impeccable, with kind and attentive waiters who were able to recommend the best dishes based on our tastes.
If you are looking for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience, Maoji is the right place for you. Whether you are a lover of spicy food or prefer more delicate flavours, you will surely find something to your liking here.
I highly recommend trying the Sichuan pepper wantons, a real must for Chinese cuisine lovers!
