History
The first Mao restaurant opened on Chatham Row, Dublin in 1997. The name attracted some criticism, given Mao Zedong's role in the Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, Great Chinese Famine and Sinicization of Tibet; during his time as leader of China, he was allegedly responsible for millions of deaths.[2][3] This first restaurant was decorated with Andy Warhol's famous silkscreen print of Mao.[4] In 2010 the chain went into receivership and was sold to Colm and Ciarán Butler.[5][6]
