Reviews of Mandarin Restaurant

My husband and I ordered the eggs rolls, chicken fried rice, and honey walnut shrimp. The egg rolls were by far our favorite part of the meal. Unfortunately, they only do family style entrees (all meat in bulk and order sides in bulk separate), so it’s not an ideal dining experience for just 2 people. The honey walnut shrimp was good but after eating a few pieces it was too sweet. The service was amazing! We were seated immediately for our reservation time, and the staff was great at refilling our water/checking on us in a timely manner. The decor and ambiance was pretty sick too. Overall a good experience.

The Mandarin is a great American Chinese restaurant that has some good dishes but some that miss the mark. We ordered pot stickers and zesty orange shrimp for appetizers with the shrimp being the best and would not order the pot stickers again. Was eating with two friends and one like the Margarita and the other said the Mule was a little lacking with alcohol. The strawberry daiquiri was good (would order again), and I would pass on the black cherry soda. For main dishes we had scallops with garlic sauce (good), Hunan beef (best of the ones ordered), Szechwan chicken (was like soup), and spice grilled chicken (hidden menu item and too sweet). Since rice is not included, we ordered char shu fried rice and shrimp chow mein which both were very good. Would go back again and say this is a 3.75 star place as rice should always be part of an Asian meal and be included and that some of the dishes are more like soups then wok dishes.

As a native of Cache Valley, the Chinese food capital of Utah - I can say that the Mandarin is top notch. Amanda, our waitress, recommended that we try the Spice Girl Chicken, kung Pao beef, and honey walnut shrimp. They were all excellent. Personally I’d rank them chicken, beef, shrimp. Egg rolls were unique, I would get them again if someone wanted to try them, but probably wouldn’t order on my own next time.The chicken fried rice was also delicious, and could have held its own as an entree. Service was excellent. Amanda made sure that we were enjoying our meal, but wasn’t “over attentive”(sometimes it gets too much). Also our waters were full the entire time we were dining. I will be coming back to the mandarin, and would recommend it to anyone in in the area!

Wow! We got some egg rolls for the table and then a chicken, beef, and shrimp dish with some chicken fried rice. All of it was great and I appreciated that there weren’t any of those random big pieces of chicken because those always kind of sick me out. Also, top notch service. I don’t think my water was every empty and I swear it was constantly being refilled. Ate the whole thing. CD Did not make it. TL

Absolutely top-notch! So much of my family have been coming here for over 25 years and have never been disappointed! The dishes are made fresh and so delicious. The service is wonderful as are the owners! I have had Chinese cuisine all around the country and I promise this is by far the best! Egg rolls! Egg rolls! Egg rolls!

The food here is consistent. Atmosphere is a bit crowded but that’s the sign of a good restaurant. General Tsaos chicken is great. Would recommend doing 2 orders of steamed rice for parties larger than 2. We’ve also done takeout a few times. They’re punctual on their pickup times. Prices are a little steep but the food is quality. Pot stickers are delicious

Visited with friends. ❤️ Wonderful food, great staff and not rushed at all. Atmosphere was great. We were there to honour and talk about a friend who had recently passed. We made treasured memories with friends from Layton and from the UK who live in Canada We are from the UK. Thank you everyone. DEFINITELY will come back again.

Reservations are highly recommended! The restaurant was very busy - understandably so. The food was amazing! The beef was so tender and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The lemon chicken was by far my favorite with the perfect balance of citrus sour and sweet in the glaze. I also really enjoyed the cashew chicken, orange peel chicken, and ginger beef. The staff was outstanding. Despite being crazy busy, the were attentive, cheerful, and helpful. Our drinks never ran dry and the table was quickly cleared of any finished plates and platters. Definitely worth a visit anytime you are in the Bountiful, UT area.

Love the food, the service, and the nostalgia of going there for more than 4 decades. The egg rolls with the plumb sauce, and the 5-taste shrimp are to die for, so I usually order those dishes every time. But that's not all. There is something for every taste. Everything I've had there is excellent.

The food was delicious and we'll made. All the staff were very friendly. It was a little bit too crowded and loud for my tastes, but it was the weekend so I didn't expect much on this front. We also had to wait a while for our food, but again it was a busy weekend and the staffing shortage is hitting everyone hard right now, so I wasn't expecting rapid service. Their egg rolls were my favorite thing I ordered during my visit. They were the largest egg rolls I've ever had, and tasted amazing. The plum sauce they were served with elevated them even higher; I would recommend getting extra of this. Everything else was delicious as well, especially the general tso's chicken pictured along with this review, but the egg rolls were the real highlight of the meal for me.
