6 different dishes were all fantastic. Without exception the diners in our party loved their selections. The Christmas decorations were beautiful too. We scheduled a reservation ahead of time and dined on a Monday so wait for a table wasnonexistent. Our servers were very attentive without being obtrusive. Thank you.
As always, EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE!! Kaia was our waitress and she did a wonderful job! The char Shu (barbecue pork) was the best we have ever had, definitely a must get! We also have the chicken general Tso‘s, the cashew chicken and Sizzling ricesoup. Yum, Yum, YUM!!!! We enjoy bringing family and friends here for gatherings because we know they will be satisfied withtheir meal and be impressed with the service!
The Mandarin is a great American Chinese restaurant that has some good dishes but some that miss the mark. We ordered pot stickers and zesty orange shrimp for appetizers with the shrimp being the best and would not order the pot stickers again. Waseating with two friends and one like the Margarita and the other said the Mule was a little lacking with alcohol. The strawberrydaiquiri was good (would order again), and I would pass on the black cherry soda. For main dishes we had scallops with garlicsauce (good), Hunan beef (best of the ones ordered), Szechwan chicken (was like soup), and spice grilled chicken (hidden menuitem and too sweet). Since rice is not included, we ordered char shu fried rice and shrimp chow mein which both were very good.Would go back again and say this is a 3.75 star place as rice should always be part of an Asian meal and be included and thatsome of the dishes are more like soups then wok dishes.
Honestly I'm not a big fan of Chinese food. But this place was so good! We got some potstickers for an appetizer (6 in an order)and they were so juicy and hot!they came with a sweet and savory dip. Everyone loved these! The cashew chicken, coconutThai curry, and fried noodles dish were amazing!! The portions were enough to feed two but if you each get a dish then it'sabout $15 a dish. Over all the food was high quality and very fast! We will definitely be returning!

We planned a reservation before the time and dined on Monday, so there was no waiting for a table. Our servers were very attentive without being intrusive. Thank you.
Awesomely Fantastic Dishes here. Flavor Explosion in my mouth. Never had a dish I did not like. Fresh items, some vegetables bought locally, home made sauces. Flavors you can not get anywhere else. I try a new item each time I come. Place is always clean with great staff. Shoutout to the Fabulous cooks.
Mandarin is a great American Chinese restaurant that has some good dishes, but some that miss the brand. We ordered pot stickers and zesty orange shrimps for appetizers, where the shrimps were the best and the pot stickers would not order again. Eat with two friends and one like Margarita and the other said that the mule was missing something with alcohol. The strawberry daiquiri was good (again order), and I would pass the black cherry soda. For main dishes we had Scallops with garlic sauce (good), Hunan beef (best of ordered), Szechwan chicken (was like soup), and spice grilled chicken (hidden menu item and too sweet). Since rice is not included, we ordered Char shu roasted rice and shrimp chow which were both very good. Would go back and say this is a 3.75 star place, since rice should always be part of an Asian meal and be included and that some of the dishes are more like soups then wok dishes.
Very crowded and noisy. Even with a reservation for 6:00pm, we had to wait and were not seated until almost 6:20pm. The server was nice, but you could tell she was rushed and overloaded with customers. Menus are out of date. Two of the items I attempted to order they no longer offer. The item I did order seemed to be forgotten and was not brought out with the rest of the entrees. Overall it seemed overpriced and not worth returning.
Actually, I'm not a big fan of Chinese food. But this place was so good! We have potstickers for an appetizer (6 in order) and they were so juicy and hot! They came with a sweet and hearty dip. Everybody loved them! Cashew chicken, coconut Thai curry and roasted noodles dish were amazing! The portions were enough to feed two, but if you get a dish, then it is about $15 a dish. All foods were high quality and very fast! We will definitely return!
