My wife and I came here to celebrate our daughter's first birthday. We started with the white tea with orange, which arrived in a lovely cast iron vessel piping hot and refreshing. Also very reasonable; under $4 for a kettle that served four tea cups My wife ordered the beef lo mein, add heat, which she said was good but lacked the 'wow' factor you'd expect from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. I'd have to agree it was good but pretty run of the mill, not something I'd come back for. (And pretty unsightly, not photogenic at all) I ordered Molly's feast (pictured), sub rice for more veg, add heat. The veg and tofu were cooked immaculately, with great texture. The difference for me between Molly Woo's and a run of the mill cheap Chinese place is that the chef here clearly deliberately cooked each component for a different amount of time, rather than a Mark Pi Express short order cook where you get carrots that are still frozen and the broccoli is mush. Really the veg was excellent. I was only disappointed in the garlic sauce which tasted too strongly of soy, instead of being bright and tangy garlic and heat so that the tofu (light and crispy) and veg could sing and be the stars of the dish. Instead the sauce kind of ruined the experience of the otherwise excellent dish for me. I had the milk tea for dessert, which wasn't overly sweet, and refreshing. My wife had the Creme Brulee which looked gorgeous. The sugar on top didn't fully caramelize, but had excellent custard, a bit zippy which paired well with the fruit. The creme brulee was better than that of the Refractory if that says anything. Best I've had in Columbus but have had better in Europe and Michigan (of all places). Our waitress was very attentive, responsive, and polite; the customer experience was what you would expect at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. Everything was clean, orderly, and professional. It was nice that they allowed for substitutions, but if you want something hot, you might want to ask for pepper flakes/chili oil, as both of ours arrived more medium than hot. Overall outstanding experience save for the main courses, so I cannot in good conscience give five stars.

This was my first time coming here. The waiter was great. I am gluten intolerant and he made sure to check my drinks to make sure they were gluten free. I appreciate the precaution. They also have a dedicated gluten free menu. The atmosphere is nice too. The food was delicious. I highly recommend their scallop dinner! The calamari appetizer was great too!

Very elegant dining experience! The ambiance was soothing! Loved their Sushi and Calamari! Also we got Chicken lo main but it was very mediocre. But I would definitely visit again for Sushi and Poke bowls!

While craving some Asian Bistro and a good atmosphere for dinner. We decided to go to Molly Whoo's. They have a wonderful menu and a full bar that offers many options. Our server Tyler was great. We ordered Mandarin Beef and Firecracker Chicken and for dessert a chocolate cake. I of course order my traditional Godfather which was botched the first time but they worked hard to make it right. I definitely recommend anyone to stop in and give them a try.

We've eaten there multiple times. My wife and I are celiac never had issues. Just make sure you let them know you're allergic. It's a Cameron Mitchell restaurant, they have separate area for cooking the food.
