Customer Reviews
A great neighborhood American Chinese restaurant. Nothing fancy about it but it's always reliably delicious. The steamed meat wontons are huge, the dumpling wrapper is thick and chewy and the filling is very tasty - we always get an order of these. The general tsos is well fried and sauced so the chicken still has a crisp but still has a ton of the sauce on it. The lo mein is packed with veggies and meat balanced with delicious noodles. The biggest selling point is that the serving size is very generous. We also get multiple meals out of an order.
Fantastic food, fantastic people. A DoorDash driver stole my order, I got in touch with DD support, and they said they'd redeliver. A few minutes later, Mandarin noticed that it was the same order to the same person, and called to check and make sure I wasn't mistakenly getting double charged. 11/10 customer service, I can't think of a restaurant more deserving of your business.
Buy one dish, feeling full all day. Half Chinese food and half American food. All depending on what you order. Super good quick lunch location.
Ok food. It lacked flavor and General Tso's chicken was too sweet. Manager/owner seems to micromanage his employees. Fast service and good portions
The happy family was basic brown sauce not very flavorful. The sweet and sour has veggies which is a plus but their sweet and sour sauce has a weird aftertaste. The egg rolls were super greasy, only had cabbage in it. The crab Rangoon seemed to be missing the crab just cream cheese. The white rice was hard and cold; like fridge cold. The fried rice had a lot of veggies however it was drenched in soy sauce.
