Very nice food. Service was a little confused due to new staff, but quickly rectified. Recommend this restaurant.

We were really impressed with the quality of the food at Mo Lin. Our first time in Crawley and we called the restaurant last minute on a Saturday night, luckily they could fit us in. We went for the buffet option for four of us; the steam buns were great and we loved the chilli salt chicken. There was a wait for our mains but we expected that, and the food was worth the wait!

Atmosphere is good, good for casual and relaxing evening out to enjoy Chinese food. First you are asked how many people and a member of staff will guide you to a table for you to be seated. Menu will be presented on the table for you to order drinks and dishes. Ordering drinks and food did not take long. We took 5-6 minutes reviewing what foods we wish to eat and share. We ordered drinks and it took only 2-3 minutes for the drinks to arrive. This was a hot pot of Jasmine tea, 1 diet coke and 1 coke served with ice and slice of lemon. Once we ordered the food, the presentation of the hot heated plate arrived in a timely manner 5 minutes after with our first main dish. (We skipped starters as we were not too hungry, but you can go for a three course meal if you wish). The meat was correct texture, aroma and tenderness. It was not oily as you see in a Chinese-take away. If you asked how much oil and water left over from the plate, it would be 2-3 table spoons. Not much oil was absorbed in the food too so the level of quality and standard is over average. 4 out of 5 (I have never gave any restaurants review 5 out of 5 in just food rating alone). The staff are super friendly, open and approachable and very alert from the moment you walk in and waited to be seated. In addition, if you are eating your food, there are staffs always walking from time to time to ensure and oversee everything is fine. If you need assistance, you raise their attention and they will happy to assist. The quality of the meal is very good, the service is very fast and also being informed that there are dishes might take 45 minutes longer on the process. Being informed about this helps us to make an educated decision to choose an alternative dish to make the most of other flexible dishes on the menu. The portion are reasonable sized, not big and not small. This restaurant is definitely a must-go and I will definitely will visit again and recommend friends to check this place. Price on the menu are standards cost to my experience, it is not high, it is not cheap, just average prices. Desert, we choose a chilled lychee, unfortunately it did not meet my expectation for the cost, quality and the freshness. I recommend checking alternative desserts and not choose Chilled Lychee. However, if you are persistent and love Lychee regardless of its not to its quality standard, feel free to try it. We would visit again, and hope to order different foods next time to make a next review to ensure the consistency meets the expectation of this deserved review. Thanks for the delicious food.
