The staff here are amazing people. Super polite and accommodating. It seems to be mostly take out orders (which was hopping while we were there), but they have a dining area and graciously welcomed us in when we asked if we could dine in. We got the beef lo mein, the general two, and the crab rangoons. Everything was super fresh, and our wait was minimal.

Very good local Chinese restaurant!! The food is always hot and fresh. I especially like the general tso chicken and crab rangoons!

Here’s my update: I waited much longer than I originally intended because I was hopeful the quality would improve. Unfortunately, it hasn’t; in fact, it seems to have gotten worse. Although I don't have a photo from when the food was great, I did upload a picture of what I’m sadly calling my last meal from Mandarin Pan. I ordered the L4 General Gao with pork fried rice. The rice was almost white, with just five pieces of onion and three tiny chunks of sparerib—completely flavorless. The chicken was 95% filler with slimy dark meat, whereas before, it used to be around 70% chicken and mostly, if not entirely, white meat. I understand it's basically a chicken nugget, but honestly, it would have been better if it actually was. Original Post: I'm puzzled by what's been happening lately. I've been a regular customer here for about 8 years, and up until now, everything was consistently excellent, especially considering the reasonable prices. I used to recommend this place to everyone. I gave it a chance, hoping my first bad experience was just a one-time thing, but unfortunately, after three separate visits, I can confirm that the food quality has significantly declined. Whenever I come here, I usually order one of two dishes - either an L4 (General Gao with Goons & Fried Rice), or the House Fried Rice. The fried rice used to be perfectly cooked, with a beautiful golden-brown color and generous toppings. Now, it's barely fried, with fewer toppings, and the rice itself is only partially cooked, losing all its flavor. Additionally, the chicken, which used to be exclusively white meat with a consistent texture, now seems to have more slimy dark meat, altering both the texture and taste. I'm not sure if this change is due to sourcing issues or if the restaurant is cutting corners to save costs, but whatever the reason, I can no longer enjoy the food here. It's incredibly disappointing, especially since I used to be a loyal customer, visiting every week or every other week.

Picture doesn't do justice. Some places will have one or 2.good items. This place is definitely the best period I've had in over 5 years. Everything is good and boneless spareribs the way they should be A+ updated I ordered again 2x in 3 days
