Mandarin House Chinese Restaurant

Ignore the nonsense negative reviews. (No sauce and its dry? Drove 30 mins home and it's not hot? Really?) I lived in Parma for 4 years and the ONLY restaurant I could depend on for consistency 100% of the time, big chain or local, was Mandarin House. The food was always incredible, no matter what we got. The friendly women who work here go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and we always were. I live a 7 hour drive away now and there are STILL nights I wish I could run up the street and get more of the best chicken fried rice I've ever had. Out of every similar place in Parma, this is the one. Order your favorite combo, get it when they say it's ready (10 mins means 10 mins!!) And enjoy the best comfort food of your week. Thank you Mandarin House for 4 years of incredible food.

I am so sorry.. I always make sure to leave great reviews for small businesses that deserve it. But this one needs an honest review. I spent the last 21 years on the west coast where asian restaurants are mostly authentic, true to their culture. The main meal was horrible, like straight from a can or jar. You could tell it was mass produced and just heated up. And the won ton soup, the same. All “noodles” and literally no taste and no meat. The part time lady that helped me was so nice and the place looked nice, but the food was horribly sub-par. Go elsewhere. Do not waste your money here.

I literally just got home from picking up my order, because I live 20mins away. I ordered a large ribs with no sauce on it, a Qt or pork fried rice and 3 eggrolls. I get home open my ribs and this is what I was give. 4 old dried out ribs that look like they have actually been picked on. I have posted the receipt also with the date 8/18/24. I will NEVER order from here again.

I called and ordered pick up. The woman was pleasant. Food was ready fairly quickly (15 minutes). I opened up the food to look at it in the car…. Very disappointing. The rice is chopped up and fried with no vegetables no pork. Just rice. Egg rope looked ok…. It is all cabbage. Nothing else. No seasoning no vegetables nothing but cabbage. The sweet and sour sauce tastes a little like bad wine. Overall the food was terrible. I haven’t a clue how they have over 4 star rating.

Every restaurant has some dishes that they do better than others and tonight we had the dishes we wouldn’t get again. The honey walnut shrimp and general tso chicken lacked flavor and lacked crunch, but we did have takeout and a 10-15 minute drive that could have caused that. The crab rangoons and egg roll also lacked flavor and everything seemed under salted. We also forgot to order extra rice with a dish because we’re used to every dish coming with rice automatically, but that’s our fault for not reading the menu fully. The shrimp chips are delicious though. The reviews are great so I would try this place again, but next time we’ll dine in. It was busy during pick up and that’s a good sign.
