One of the best Chinese spots in the Bay! Always a go to when in the mood for Chinese & on the southside. I’ve never had anything here I didn’t like! Service is always so nice! Love coming here!! The portions are huge & served family style.

Lunch specials are becoming harder and harder to find so when you find a place that not only has a lunch special but has it available 7 days a week (excluding holidays), it is worth a highlight! Mandarin Gourmet delivers with a 4 course lunch special that has a variety of entrée options. Entrées are served family style so the table can easily share dishes. The food comes quickly and the seating is comfortable (choice of booths or tables). The first course are some fried dough with a sweet red dipping sauce. Chinese chicken salad with a peanut dressing is usually served at the same time, followed by a hot and sour soup. Finally the entrée is served with a choice of steamed or fried rice. A fortune cookie rounds off the meal. On this visit, we had the Garlic Eggplant, Tangerine Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns. All were great!

Ever since the new owner took over six months ago, this place has become much cleaner and more spacious. The portions are very generous, and the food tastes amazing! They've kept the classic Hawaiian BBQ while adding American Chinese dishes and truly authentic Chinese cuisine. I've been here three times this week, and I'm absolutely in love. Nice and friendly service! Highly recommend everyone to try it out!

I recently visited China Taste & Hawaiian BBQ, which has new owners since May 2024. I didn't know about the change when I called in my order. The House Chow Mein was awesome! I didn't add it to my order until I arrived to pick up my Hawaiian food, but I'm glad I did. The noodles were spot on, with a great mix of veggies ,meat & shrimp. Perfectly seasoned and definitely something I'd get again. The chicken was grilled nicely but lacked flavor and it was chopped up instead 1 entire thigh and the short ribs, while tender, didn't have that savory-sweet taste I like. I wouldn't order these again. The staff was friendly, but the person who helped me didn't understand English well, which made ordering a bit tricky. Overall, I'd stick to the Chinese food here. The house chow mein was delicious, but I wouldn't recommend the BBQ chicken, short ribs, or any other Hawaiian dishes. Plus, I didn't see any Hawaiian dishes on the menu, which was confusing when I was there to pickup my order.

My favorite Chinese restaurant, period. My wife and I discovered it about two years ago, and even though we live ~60 miles away, we drive at least once a month to enjoy the delicious and affordable food we get here. Whether we go there directly or drive close by, we really enjoy their food. We love it! And their staff is amazing! Always a smile on their faces, always kind, and always attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy really good food at any time of day.

DATE: 9/22/24. I got FOOD POISONING here. We let the place know and at least expected a refund back after getting guests (7) people sick. This was the only food we ate that evening/night and began to feel sick after. Owners response was from their lawyer and stated that we would need to prove our food poisoning. How are we supposed to prove it? If they are willing to pay our medical bill we would definitely go. They are more than welcome to come in my home and view how much VOMIT and DIARRHEA we have ALL had. This is unacceptable. Horrible service.

Great place, first time and Loved it and the cashier was super sweet, thank you and we will be back again thank you again. 😊

I don’t know what happened to all the 5 star reviews so I guess I’ll review again. I’ve been coming to this 43 year old mom and pop institution for 15 years and have yet to have a bad meal. I have my favorites like Generals Chicken, Chow Fun, Garlic Noodles, Pot Stickers, Honey Walnut Prawns and Thai Basil Wings. All these items can be made zero spice, spicy or HOT!!! I’m even more happy to know they donated food to my sons nearby elementary school. This place was open during the pandemic and the whole community had an affordable, good, safe and quick place to grab a meal. There was a small area to eat prior to COVID but now that area is closed hopefully to open again in the future so everything is to go. Eat here and be happy.
