Do yourself a favorite and skip this place. If you do order from Mandarin expect a disappointing experience. The roast pork fried rice was rice with all the makings (tiny little cubes of pork) but not fried and zero taste. I should have done more research before ordering!
I just moved to the neighborhood. Ordered delivery for my first night in and it was delicious! It arrived sooner than I anticipated, driver was courteous and masked. I got the vegetarian sesame "chicken", edamame, vegetable fried rice and crab rangoon. (Don't judge! I wanted leftovers) In my last neighborhood there were no good delivery places. I tried a little of everything (the sesame faux-chicken was the best I've had!Will definitely reorder!
The good here has gone VERY downhill over the past two years. They're adding more random ingredients in hopes that the customer won't notice that the core ingredients are being reduced.Example: I ordered kung pao shrimp with no "extra veg". I got a half dozen overcooked shrimp, around 25 peanut halves, and some sauce, plus rice on the side. In previous orders, without the "no veg" request, the container was absolutely packed with food: squash, bell peppers, mushrooms, and more! Who puts any of that inn kung pao??
The food was delicious and their service was incredible! Strongly recommend their chicken dumplings.
Consistency is important and while I enjoyed the first order, I'm disappointed and shocked by how sub-par the second order is in comparison. It was cold, hard, seemed like warmed over leftovers rather than freshly made.
"Big portion but mediocre" I have Chicken Lo Mein and Kung Pao Chicken for $16. (+ PRO: Big portions for share, fresh vegetables)(-CON: not authentic, low quality chicken meat.)I like the Lo Mein but the Kung Pao Chicken is baseless.No vinegars and no Szechuan pepper. Never see people use chicken pop for this dish before.
Gotten take-out from here several times. Hit or miss depending on what you get. Tonight was definitely a miss unless you desire your food to taste like a salt lick on an Iowa cattle farm. The few veggies on it, basically all "green" peppers and nothing else, was cooked beyond veggie recognition so that there was nothing green about it. Sadly, most of it ended up in the trash. (Probably where they got it from!)They won't be getting our hard earned money again. Two stars because I have gotten a decent meal there once.
The best hone made lemonade and awesome staff. Their food is a blessing for the living
Their Mapa Tofu was 90% rice and 10% Mapa Tofu. It was also dry and flavorless. Very much the worst Mapa Tofu I've ever had. Not worth paying $ for. I would pass on an establishment like this.
I came back 2 this place after almost 2 years because i moved far and the pandemia.I si missed this place, taste is still amazing, prices very affordable and the costumer service, specially from Joseph, superb.definitely recommend it. I can't post a picture because I couldn't hold myself and finish so quick my delicious "beef chow fun" xtra spicy ?
