Was Ahmed Boehm at Mandarin Reading a mag?
The tuna blossom sushi was very delicious and fresh. I enjoyed most of the sushi dishes I ordered that night. I was a bit disappointed by the chicken dish, sorry I forgot what it's called now. The service was great. I had a waitress named Jenny and she was awesome and attentive. Everything was very clean and orderly too. View all feedback.

I Was a loyal customer. Went for my mother’s birthday Thursday 11/11 , they close at 9:15. Lin told us last call at 8:30 and they close at 8:45 (that’s a lie) no birthday dessert for my mom, rushed us out even the manager and another server were looking at us. Lin waived and announced from a distance at 8:45 in her coat and purse that she was leaving with us still at the table after she rushed us to pay. Food was just okay, people that have never been questioned why we like it. I never complain and used to go here for convenience but if you have a table you should not rush customers out, announce you are leaving 30 minutes before close. We over tipped on a $400 bill but I wish I never did. Go to Fusion Taste or Tulips, better atmosphere better food and service

Saddened they don't have the buffet they use to have. Quality of food has diminished a bit. shrimp dish was a bit over cooked. Veggies are fresh. Loved the Crispy Pad Thai ... veghie Spring rolls are refreshing , but could use more cucumber and carrot. was mostly cabbage... fried rice was average. Pre-pandemic this place was my favorite Asian restaurant. Still the variety of Asian foods is wide, w Japanese, and some other variations other than Chinese. The buffet was the big draw. I still like the place, but don't love it like I use to.
Beautiful restaurant! The cumin beef is out of this world! ?
Robert, I really miss your restaurant! I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and I think about you and your amazing staff often. By the way, the wheelchair accessibility at your place was top-notch. You had the best food around!
Poor quality sushi, poor service and the staff don’t care that you are there. They will hangout and do their thing while you spend time to attract their attention.No one will explain the sushi and I ordered the Mandarin Combo. Everything was sashimi and it was not fresh. How much Sashimi can you eat. Don’t waste your money here.

The sushi here is amazing! They even do specials on Sundays so it is an incredible deal! We do sushi Sundays because of the deal. The food comes fast and there are tons of options. Service is fantastic. Restaurant is clean and I love the ambiance.
We went last Friday and the service was absolutely atrocious, so not sure we will bother coming back in person, but will stick with take out!
Decent sushi, nice staff and sushi chef. Food comes out quickly both from sushi bar and kitchen. Over the years their prices have gone up a lot (they are now more than any other sushi restaurant I go to) so I don't find myself coming here as often as I once did, but the sushi is always decent. I can't give a review for their Chinese food. Staff 5 Food 4 Prices 2
Excellent service. Delicious food. I had the Pad Thai. Very fresh. The won ton soup was also delicious. The waitress was lovely and excellent. I would really recommend this business.
I come here every few months for a quiet Saturday mid afternoon drink to start my weekend. Usually around 2/3:00! The bartender is cold and blank. I've been coming here for many years and it seems like back years ago she had a following of local drunks, I remember the laughter at the bar, the watching of sports. The crowds. The laughter. These days it's much quieter. She is just different, I don't even get a hello or a thank you. She seems miserable in her job now.

From Sabrina I went to place an order for an engagement party that I organized in my house for 18-20 people. I had a budget in my head, but after my order I found that I was a lot about what I had planned for spending. Robert from the mandarin sat with me and my sister and said we had too much food. He helped us change the order to provide the best balance of things for my guests and the best part is under my original budget! The food was ready on time and was hot and delicious! Thank you Robert and The Mandarin Restaurant for a special night!
Looking for some decent Chinese food, the chicken of General Gao, spring rolls and Edamame were good, but the vegatable fried rice lacked many vegetables and seemed more generic
I have been here for a few months with some staff, and now I started with my wife because the staff is so attentive and the food is always excellent. It's out of the way, but I'm still coming back.
Found this little jewel during a road trip with the wife. I had the shrimp with lobster sauce but this place added snow peas and mushrooms and these flavors blended very well.My wife had the Orange Chicken with just enough heat for flavor.Anf I had to order this drink called Coconut Dream WOW. Sweet cream , Coconut, shaved ice absolutely delicious
I’ve been going here for almost 20 yrs if you love sushi you’ll love Mandarin great service great quality and get people. I love the take out and the warm welcome I receive. BTW the best sushi in a 30 mile radius you won’t find anything better.
