Mabu Generation

We went to this place based on reviews. And it did not disappoint. The Japanese hotpot was interesting and flavourful. The fries were tasty and delicious. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken and the Japanese Pan fried beef were the star of the meal for me. Good ambiance, fun decor, and great customer service. Would highly recommend.

Came in for lunch on a busy day. The food was delicious and service was excellent. Only one thing don't like is the fork and spoon. Look nice but not practical.

I stopped by this restaurant with friends after dinner, so we only tried the drinks and snacks instead of a full meal. While the food might not perfectly replicate authentic Taiwanese flavors, it comes remarkably close—easily a 9 out of 10. The menu isn’t very large, but every dish and drink is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with great attention to color, aroma, and taste. The service wasn’t overly warm, but it was attentive and polite. I’ll definitely be back!

I had such a lovely time at Mabu Generation in Mississauga! I went with my family, including my two little ones under five, and they have the cutest kids' meals that are really well-rounded with veggies and a sweet dessert. The portion sizes were huge, so we got to take home some delicious leftovers! We also tried the Taiwanese fried chicken and the hot pot, and let me just say, the seafood hot pot is a total must-try! The dipping sauces were so tasty and really made the meal pop. I also appreciated the service style – it felt just like being in Asia with the mostly contactless ordering and payment. The vibe inside really transported me to Taiwan! Overall, we had an amazing experience and I can’t wait to go back!

I visited Mabu in Mississauga for the first time after a post-movie craving, and it was an interesting experience. The classy neon-lit entrance is always fun to see, though I was a bit surprised by the smaller menu compared to what I’m used to at the Markham location. While the limited options were a little disappointing, it wasn’t a dealbreaker. We ordered Volcano Ribs, Sizzling Beef with Fried Rice, and Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken. The Sizzling Beef with Fried Rice and Popcorn Chicken were fantastic, as always. True to their name and consistently good in quality, they didn’t disappoint. The server even stirred the sizzling beef and rice for us, which was a nice touch. The Volcano Ribs, however, were a major letdown. Not only did the portion feel unjustified for the price, but the pieces were much smaller than what was shown in the menu photo, with more bone than meat. It was hard to enjoy and felt like it didn’t live up to the standards of Mabu’s usual offerings I've seen in the past. That said, the service was excellent. The server was super attentive and helpful, even though it was late at night, which I really appreciated. Despite the hiccup with the Volcano Ribs, I’d still pop by in the future, hoping to see some new dishes that live up to the quality and hype Mabu is typically known for.

The items we ordered were delicious, I liked how they had a guard for my sizzling dish so it didn’t splash on me. The Popcorn Chicken had the signature powdery flavour that I love with Taiwanese chicken and the flavour of the rice in the Japanese Pan Fried Beef on the hot plate was very flavourful. Service was fast and efficient, they refilled our water right away and the food arrived relatively quickly. Not sure how things are when it’s really busy but we came around 8pm on a Sunday night and it wasn’t packed. Edit: Just for transparency, I received a free drink for leaving my review but I had already formed an opinion based on my experience before knowing about the drink.

Food was very tasty, presentation was nice, staffs were all attentive, my whole family enjoyed it.

This is a cute little Taiwanese place in the Chinese mall near our Chinese super market b-trust! Entrance is so jazzy and welcoming and I almost thought it was a gaming place. Was not disappointed at all once I walked all the way in and was seated. Decor is so cute for which I have pictures . The servers are on top of their game and service is impeccable. Nice the food arrived esp the hot pot. The server stayed to dunk all the meat in the sauce and kept an eye to see it was always lit so the soup stays warm and top up the soup too! Was done around three times. I would def like to go back to try the other food on the menu. On the table next to us there were many kids and their serving plates caught my eyes which were so cute in the shape of cars and compartments for the food. The place is clean and parking maybe a challenge right in front of the restaurant but will def find something around the mall.

Mabu generation is almost always a safe pick for ordering Taiwanese snacks such as Popcorn chicken (which I get at the Markham location). This time I opted for Mac n Cheese with Okonomiyaki fries. Decor is a bit different featuring neon signs and metal tables. Mac n Cheese was pretty standard and its a nice change of pace, but I wouldn't order it again. The Fries are almost always a 100% order when dining with me, You can't go wrong with it and it never disappoints. While I do praise Mabu overall, I see it as a late night snack establishment and their menu embraces that wholeheartedly. The entrees they offer are so commonly found from other specialty restaurants but also at a higher price point.

Fun resto to hang out with friends! I'm here right now with my kids and between the 3 of us (adult+6yo+8yo), we ordered 2 lunch specials. The main comes with 2 preset sides and a Taiwanese Style Brown Sugar Winter Melon Tea. We ordered the popcorn chicken and Taiwanese Braised Minced Pork Rice. Both dishes were flavourful and authentic. The sides were spicy tofu, tofu skin, bok choy and tofu dessert. It was my kids' first time here and they loved it. My only negative comment would be the speed of food service. Everything should be already pre-made and only the chicken needs to be deep fried. We came here on a Thursday around 12:30pm and it was only us plus one other lady. The waiters looked bored and just chatted among themselves. I will most likely return and try the other items on their menu.

I've tried Mabu Generation Markham location previously and I recently found out that they have a Mississauga location and decided to check it out. This location was quite cozy. The staff was attentive and the service was quick. Their food portions were big as well. We ordered Taiwanese style deep fried chicken cutlet, Japanese style pan fried beef (black pepper teriyaki & garlic sauce), and pork belly on rice. The chicken cutlet was crunchy and was a great appetizer to share with a small group. The pan fried beef was full of umami flavour. I'd definitely recommend this! The pork belly, however, was fatty. It didn't have much meat to it which was quite disappointing. My friends ordered the katsu curry and the house special spicy hot pot. I'd love to come back and try other food on their menu.

We tried the Taiwanese signature foods - popcorn chicken and stewed beef noodle. My favorite is the popcorn chicken rice. It was so crispy, not too salty and served a generous portion of chicken. Also, it came with a little bit of minced pork. However, I didn't expect them to use udon for the stewed beef noodle. Anyway, the soup was quite flavorful. We also ordered the Chinese herb rice wine chicken hot pot, perfect for cold weather. The hot pot included chicken, veggies, and fish balls. You can always add more food if you want. Personally, I think the soup base was quite bland, but it was perfect for someone who wanted something with light taste.

This is a lot of food for two! We also ordered bubble tea and tea. I would suggest ordering all three of the apps we got: popcorn chicken, squid roll and the taiwanese burger with pork belly. This would be a perfect lunch for two. The hot pot was good, very spicy! Quick and friendly service, but we did come at such an odd mid afternoon there wasn't alot of people. The seats and tables reminds me of taiwanese night market stalls, great vibe

It's a hidden gem!!! Delicious food, excellent service and great value for money. The menu of this Taiwanese restaurant offers wide variety of options. We had Deep Fried Squid Balls, it was the best we have had so far in North America!! Cheese Top Creamy Alfredo Mushroom Chicken, nicely served, and Japanese Style Pan Fried Beef with Rice from the sizzling hot plate. The servers were friendly and very caring. Definitely it'll be in our shortlist of the great places for good food.

Recently visited Mabu Generation in Mississauga. What a great experience including delicious food, friendly service and a nice ambiance. I tried the popcorn chicken, deep fried todu, chicken/seafood hotpot and topped it off with an amazing dessert. I will be back again!!

The food was very good and tasty! The service was quick and the online ordering system made things very easy and efficient! The ambiance of the restaurant was cute and decorative. Will be coming here more often!

MABU Generation is your spot if you're craving some tasty Taiwanese fusion meals and snacks! The space is relatively small so prepare to be added onto a wait list if you come during the evening. The cool neon light decorations and concrete walls give the place a very 'underground' type of environment. My partner and I ordered the Japanese spicy miso hotpot, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and okonomiyaki fries. The mini hotpot is perfect for sharing with another person on a cold day! We were pleased with the amount of ingredients that came with it such as: fish cakes, cabbage, tofu, pork, etc. But we felt the broth was really lacking in flavour, especially the miso! Taiwanese popcorn chicken was fresh and crispy, and the okonomiyaki fries were a hit! The sweet and savoury sauce paired well with the fries. Overall, would come back to try out their other menu items and maybe one of their more popular hotpot broths!

Decided to bring my son and his friends here for a birthday get together. The atmosphere is really nice. It's a bit small and I imagine it would be very busy in the evening/weekend. We decided to go at 3pm on a Saturday. It was the perfect time because they were able to sit 7 people promptly. The servers were friendly and accommodating 8/10 We have 2 picky eaters in the group so they decided to go with a safe bet. We ordered the following Popcorn chicken: 8/10. Was crispy and tasty Okonomayaki fries: 8/1010. The kids love this takoyaki:8/10- it was the crowd favourite. You only get 4 for $10.99 pretty pricey but worth it since everyone loved it. The drinks were great but not much selection to choose from. Most of them got either the strawberry or the mango drink with the usual toppings ( tapioca, jelly etc) The drinks were better than other bubble tea cafe but taking some marks off for not having much selection 9/10. We had to order the tower dessert. All the kids were looking forward to it. It was aesthetically delicious but the kids were too full to appreciate the taste. Will need to give that a second try the next time we go. 8.5/10. Overall, the experience was good. Will definitely come back again.

Recent visit to the Mississauga location. The menu had so many options and we decided on: Sweet and sour deep fried tofu Taiwanese style popcorn chicken House special Taiwanese style minced pork on rice Chicken in coconut hot soup with vermicelli (hot pot) Mango honey cube toast with ice cream and fresh mangoes The food was delicious especially the dessert! The cafe had a warm atmosphere and the service was amazing! I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Food was awesome, service was extremely quick and servers were very polite and helpful. Will definitely be back!

The food is good. Service is efficient. Ambiance is cozy as the place is quite small. On the pricey side.
