To get a good idea of Mandarin Palace we ordered our favorite dishes that we normally get at our favorite Chinese restaurant.
My choice was the salt and pepper fish, and it didn't hold up in comparison. The fish was small and thin chunks with a heavy breading instead of regular servings of fresh ta
The Mandarin Palace has been consistently good over a period of many years. On the standard menu there are few surprises, the usual Americanized Chinese food done well. I suspect that if you knew authentic Chinese food they would prepare it for you and it would be good. I wish that they would make
This is the worst Chinese restaurant I have visited in CA. The food does not taste good because it is either very salty or very weird. The size is very small. The service is very bad. For example, I told the manager one dish was so spicy that I lost the sense of my taste because the chef dumped too
The night started out being almost forgotten about, until the ONE server they had got to us. The poor guy was running all over the place, by himself. There was no communication amongst the staff, it seemed. Normally I wouldn't mind waiting a while for food if it's good, but this just wasn't the case
Found a fraudulent charge on my credit card for $132 shortly after visiting this restaurant. I had not been to any sit down restaurants (where they take your card) in weeks prior, so I was able to narrow it down to this place. Awful business ethics and nobody should go here.
Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Dan Dan Mian (spicy minced pork over noodles). I was impressed with the depth of flavor in the pork, including the subtle hints of garlic and ginger. The texture of the noodles was perfect and complimented the dish well. If you like spicy food I recommend trying
A decent place. Very fast at getting food. It's hard to know exactly what you'll get. Seems like every restaurant does the same name but different food. Overall this place was good to go and try, but I cannot see myself coming back by choice. It would have to be a friend or someone wanting to try it
Place was empty decided to try for lunch. The price is great for the food items. The food was ok. The egg role was cold in the center. The servers were not very attentive.
