Mandarin Palace Restaurant

This place has an awesome lay out . Lighting is great as well. They have poker, pool and sports on many TV's. I was greeted promptly and the bartender had no problem making fresh coffee in the evening for my coffee,Bailey's and franjelico. I was their at a slow time on the evening but I can't wait to go back on a busier night and see the type of crowd they have.

Love this place. The only place I know to make your own combo and you don't have to have rice as one of the options. Lots to choose from and genuinely good any night of the week. The only thing is that there is a bar attached that does karaoke. While it's fine and not too overbearing it can be loud at times when trying to dine. 8pm Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, are the start times for karaoke, so plan accordingly. Special shout out to the waitress that remembers our order, and who we are, even though we hadn't seen her in almost a year.

I really enjoyed my initial visit and plan to stop in again. The host was very nice and happily showed me to the lounge and explained how to get outside to the smoking area. I went to the bar, where I was greeted and served with a friendly smile and courteousness. The bartender checked on me regularly and was happy to serve food at the bar. The outdoor terrace was nicely sized and pleasant. The evening featured (shudder!) karaoke but much to my relief and surprise, the participants were quite good and the volume was well within acceptable bounds. For once I did not have to cover my bleeding ears while hastily fleeing the horrors of karaoke!! How delightful! Drinks were good, promptly prepared and delivered, and nicely affordable. The bar has a nice selection of brands but perhaps needs to augment it's supply or choices in the rum category. It was astonishing to not find the makings for that Chinese restaurant staple: the Mai Tai! The bartender did a GREAT job of cobbling together an acceptable substitution, but he should not have been put in that position to begin with. As for food, I only had the potstickers but they were beautifully prepared and presented and I will definitely order them on a regular basis. Very nice indeed! Overall, a very pleasant time was had and I will definitely return. I can see why the place was filling up as I was heading out.

Frequently drive by this spot and its been on the list of places to try for some time. Finally got around to going with some carry out. Pot Stickers were fantastic. Broccoli Beef was also very good. 5-stars for those two. Chicken with Green Beans was above average. Tangy Pork was a bit disappointing, was expecting more vinegar tangyness, the sauce had a bit of a spice, but had expected more. Good sized portions, except a bit light on the rice. Good value for sure.
