I was in disbelief that gluten free Chinese food actually existed. I have enviously watched my family consume Chinese and could not partake so many times in the past. I ordered the orange chicken and beef broccoli and was impressed with the taste of both. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. A lovely family run business and you can taste the love inside of each bite.
If you have a Gluten allergy, then this should be the only Chinese restaurant you go to. Their Gluten Free food is beyond amazing. Almost anything can be prepared to be Gluten Free, so you won't have to worry about no options and the flavor profile brings the same punch the regular Gluten version has. I'm basic, but the Orange Chicken & Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings and some of the best I've had in San Diego. Please stop by and give this place a try.
The Mandarin wok is a good little mom and pop Chinese restaurant. We ordered the pu pu platter appetizer, Jasmine tea, shrimp in lobster sauce and cashew chicken. Each entree came with 1 egg roll, steamed or fried rice and hot and sour soup or egg drop soup. Everything was tasty and seemed to be made fresh but not over the top with delicious flavor - just average. Service was excellent and the food came out quickly. The decor seems traditional. The restaurant was clean. One thing that was different, the tables have plastic white tables clothes which are then cover with a glass table topper. I'm used to a cloth table cover, but its probably more economical to do plastic. The restaurant is in a little strip mall, we went for lunch on a Friday and it didn't get very busy. I could see that if they did get busy parking would be an issue because the strip mall is small. Some customers came to order to-go. Our total was less than $40 before tip.
We came from out of town and were craving Chinese we ended up finding this place. As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted by the nicest gentleman. We were a party of 7. Instead of just giving us an extra chair he went the extra step and gave us an extra table because he wanted us to be comfortable. The amazing hospitality did not stop there . They were quick to give us our drinks and orders . The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very very attentive. I can not say enough great things about this place . I wish them the absolute best . We’ll definitely stop by whenever we’re in town. 5 out of 5 on food, cleanliness, customer service, and over all experience.
Very quiet, older-looking restaurant. It's pretty comfortable overall. The service was friendly enough but not very quick despite there only being 3 other customers in the building. Lychee duck is surprisingly good. The rice is not good quality - very reminiscent of minute rice instead of classic steamed short grain or jasmine rice. The fried rice was pretty dry. We're pretty sure we overheard some chatter from the servers about orders getting mixed up, which would make sense as the other table also told them they'd received the wrong thing and were told "that's how they make it here." They mixed up the menu items for General Tso's Chicken and Tsou's Chicken and when we let them know we were told that WE were wrong and that's how they make the dish, even though they're two separate menu items and they gave us the wrong one. Not badly priced but I would probably not return.
