Mozen Executive Chef Kuei Hua Lai was brought in to helm the restaurant after working as a chef in both Taiwan and Hong Kong. On a tentative menu, entree prices ranged between $10 and $42, though there were a couple items in the $50 range. Some of the items that will be served in the restaurant’s dining room include noodles such as seafood udon, chicken lo mein and Hong Kong-style combination beef chow fun sushi platters (with combo rolls or sashimi) salads such as beef bulgogi salad or mango teriyaki chicken salad and seafood dishes such as jumbo shrimp with cashew nuts. “It’s a beautiful room and we understand that, but we want everyone to feel welcome here.” “We want to be inclusionary and not exclusionary by any means,” he said. Gilbert said despite the restaurant’s opulent look - which includes large, glowing lanterns, dark woods and elegant wall treatments - Mozen is meant to be casual, not fine dining.
