What Kayla S likes about Holly's Mandarin:
Ordered food to go: Crab cream cheese wontons 8/10 flavor is fine. Very crispy. Looks like crab and cream cheese were blended together. Chow mein and chow fun 9/10 great flavor. Lots of veggies. Meat soft. Not oily. Definitely worth it! honey walnut shrimp 8/10 flavor is good, crunchy. Tastes fresh/Does not have that strong shrimpy taste BUT not enough sauce so I can still taste/feel the rice flour Crispy duck 3/10 N... View all feedback. What Bryan C doesn't like about Holly's Mandarin:
Great packaging and fast turn around time. Separated the sauce from the chicken it didn't get mushy. They also included an order of red bean buns which were tasty. The chicken quality is sub par and because of this I would advise only ordering vegetable items. Personally won't be ordering from here again, I couldn't finished my orange chicken it was so unappetizing. You get what you pay for I guess. View all feedback.

This is more an fyi heads up than a true review. If you want to dine in, you need to make a reservation. They don't allow walk-ins. So it's mostly a take-out op...

As always, our favorite Chinese Delivery, but Honey Walnut Shrimp, our favorite dish was very soggy, shrimp not crispy. Everything else great as usual.

Tea Smoked Duck was extremely dry and over cooked. No moisture at all. The Combo Wonton Soup was ok, not great. It lacked flavor, bland tasting.
