"Eddie and Alfred Pao immigrated from Taiwan to the U.S. in 1977, opened Chinese-focused Formosa in Memphis two years later, and built on that success with Mulan in 2005. At Mosa, they tempt Memphians’ taste buds with a range of comfort dishes from Thailand, China, Korea, and Japan. The family-run restaurant regularly wins local dining awards each year for its menu, which is packed with delicious starters like spring rolls and potstickers, as well as signature entrees like Korean barbecue beef (sliced flank steak sauteed in a savory soy glaze with a splash of lime juice). The hot-and-sour soup is a favorite, made from a Pao family recipe that includes tofu, mushrooms, and eggs." - Andy Meek, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
