Mandarin Bistro - Newbury Park

It is wonderful to have a Chinese restaurant, now under new management, far away from where the Chinese population are concentrated (Down Town, San Gabriel Valley, Rowland Heights, etc. served authentic Chinese food (in contrast to Chinese foods found only in America). Admittedly, for it 's majority clientele MB still serves the so-called American Chinese cuisine. But if you feel more food on your next visit, definitely consider and ask for the Chinese menu. You might need to read Chinese, so consider asking a friend who can and join you. The food will not look or taste like everything you have experienced locally and you will be glad that you have done it. You make one of the best Lion Head dish (don't worry, it's a stretch to imagine that it even slightly resembles the head of a lion, no lions were injured in making this dish, I hope

A bit from the beaten path, but very authentic. My friend speaks Mandarin and ordered this wonderful little scratchy pork sandwich from the menu. My shrimp with lobster sauce was delicious with a wealth of crustaceans. For something sweet after our lunch we tried the sesame rice balls filled with bean paste. They were jumbo-big, sweet and gooey. Lots of parking nearby.

Best Chinese food we found anywhere in the area. Fantastic selection, fresh, great service from the toughest staff I've seen for a long time. Very recommended!

We totally enjoyed their lunch special which was fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken. It was delicious, and the waitress was very pleasant! We will be back!

Excellent food! This is the best Chinese food ever! Everything on the menu tastes great! My husband doesn't like tofu, except her fried tofu. I tried Thai tea here for the first time and am HOOKED!! You have to do it! It is creamy, smooth, cold and only PERFECT!
