O Mandarin

As a Chinese American I try to be fair in rating a Chinese restaurant that has non Chinese servers. I rate the food here as authentic. I had the Tea smoked duck and of course it was salty, duck dishes usually are, but the tea flavor was very well infused through the meat. We also had the soup dumplings which were good, I’d give 4/5 for that. They’re not a soup dumpling place so if that’s what you’re really going for I’d find a place that specializes in it. The Mandarin Riblet noodle soup was good too but again 4/5, it was bland for my taste. Would be a great soup if you’re sick and want a clear broth. As others have said it is on the pricier side, saw many guests celebrating birthdays so we be a good place to meet friends for a celebration. Plenty of seating.

One of our favorite restaurants around Scarsdale area. Gets pretty busy so reservations are recommended over weekends. Weekdays are pretty busy too but the service is quick and they turn tables efficiently. Food and service are both great. We like food on the spicy side and there is an excellent choice.

Food is delicious! The portions are large and some great selections! We had the Braised Beef Brisket Clay Pot, Smoked Duck Fried Rice, and Scallion Pancakes. Everything was very flavorful! We actually had enough to bring home plenty of leftovers. We will definitely be back!

Rich flavors. Large, thoughtful menu selection. Not your typical neighborhood Chinese American fare. Eaten here a few times now. We had both vegetarians and meat eaters at our table. We love Chinese food, but have become bored with most local Chinese restaurants. The service can get a little slow when they are busy, which is often. But the food has been consistently excellent. We will be back!

This is one of my favorite restaurants of the year so far! We got the grandma’a steam bun which was like a 4 make your own bao buns. We did the chicken version and it was so good and fun to do. We also got the soup dumplings and the triple delight to split as an entree with chicken, beef, and shrimp. Everything was so good! The staff was friendly and the vibes were really nice with the darker lighting. I’d definitely recommend it and I’ll definitely be back!
