We have gone to this restaurant since 1996. When we lived in Des Moines, we walked there at least every other week. We took our daughters there. We moved to Federal Way in 2001, and we have been back but not as regular. The other night we decided to go back before we move out of state. It was worth it...the best food, wonton soup is the best I've ever had. I remember in the old days Mike would come to the table & say, "I have this new dish...will you try it?" We never were disappointed. He still greeted us last night, remembering us. I think ge is awesome, excellent customer service and my pick for the best family Chinese food I have ever eaten!
my new favorite place to eat where the service is great and the food is very good and always comes out of the kitchen hot !!!...have been there several times now.
Happy Sunday! NOM NOM, this was delicious!!!!
A little on the cold side, they were busy...Seahawk game...but the flavor was amazing!
The Egg Foo Young sauce was little plain for my taste but excellent after I added a packet of the soy sauce they give you:)
Thank you Mandarin Kitchen!!!!
The food was fast but tasted like it was all made from scratch. Service was just as awesome as the food !!!!!!!
This was one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. It was four of us eating. All of us got nice portions of food and everything was absolutely delicious
I moved here from the east coast a few years ago. I was surprised that so many Chinese places in the area were so bad. I tried places in Bremerton, Federal Way and Seattle. I figured Tai Tung, with it's Bruce Lee endorsement, would be a winner, but nah. I had given up on good Chinese out here, until Mandarin Kitchen was recommended. Despite my skepticism, it was good. It was really good! It is among the best I've had! We had hot, fresh orange chicken on our table literally within five minutes of sitting. It actually tasted like orange, and consisted of lightly battered chicken rather than breading with a hint of chicken. We had also ordered lo mein, fried rice and honey walnut prawns. They were all delicious.
We're definitely coming back, and passing by all the other Chinese places in Federal Way to come here instead. There are any number of great, authentic Chinese places in the area but when it comes to Americanized Chinese this is the only place I will go to
110% fabulous! The sizzling rice soup was exactly what the doctor ordered- nutritious, veggie filled with soft and scrumptious proteins. Truly a healing and soul satisfying experience. Super kind, sweetheart family running this jewel. Mindful, clean, in- dining. I'll be back when I fly across country to visit my son, who lives in the area. Thank you, dears🙏❤
