Review Mandarin Gate - Seattle

The food was hot, that's the end of the good. It was seasoned with too much and only soy sauce or not at all. Beef tough. Even the peas in the egg drop soup were tough.

The atmosphere was a little eerie, but the staff was very friendly and thoughtful. The portion and price were just right, but the quality of the food was just okay.

Good food. I had sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, and spring rolls as takeout. Service was fast and friendly.

I wouldn’t even be leaving a bad review if they had either made us new food or provided a refund. They refused to do either, no refund and no food remake. And to top it off we had to drive fifteen minutes home from the restaurant (because we got take out) and then fifteen minutes back to the restaurant, for them to refuse to accommodate us. So on top of the poor food quality we were already receiving, we had to eat cold food. (Which I usually like cold Chinese food left overs, but this was not very good cold). We got potstickers, egg rolls, chicken chow mein, and orange chicken. I’ll start by saying the potstickers almost had more breading on them than meat inside, the potstickers were extremely thick in breading (almost to the point where they were kind of undercooked). The egg rolls were basically filled with just cabbage. The chicken in the chicken chow mein had faint fishy taste(the noodles were pretty good, I had to just eat around the chicken because they refused to refund or make a new one for us). And orange chicken was not orange chicken, it was something spicy and tasted nothing like orange. They refused to remake ANYTHING and would not provide a refund. This place is ridiculously overpriced when comparing the food quality. I have no problem paying $15+ for orange chicken if it tastes good, but I have a problem with it if I don’t even get the orange chicken. I still ate the potstickers and noodles in the chowmein since I couldn’t get a refund and we spent $50 for those four items. As for the “egg rolls” I couldn’t eat because it was ONLY CABBAGE. This was worse than Panda Express. And I hate Panda Express. If you decide to go here, try your food I guess before paying for it if you can.

Huge size! Affordable price! Fresh food! Nice server! Friendly atmosphere! It has been doing business over 20 years in Seattle! If you want to experience the local feeling, come here to have a fun! You also can enjoy some wonderful drinks in the bar and have Karaoke. They offer fast food delivery of $18 minimum order within 45 minutes. Recommend it!

I came in for the pan fried chefs noodles. Unfortunately, the prices on the online menu are different than the ones at the restaurant and their website/in house menu, my meal cost me about 3 dollars more. I got my order to go, cost about 10 dollars. After waiting less than 10 minutes, my order was up. The food was piping hot and all the meat, shrimp, veggies and noodles were cooked perfectly. Good dish if you are staying away from spicy meals.

This place has the best fried rice I’ve ever had. It’s fluffy, savory, and the vegetables are fresh and crisp. Their green beans dish is delicious, too. I also like their $20 minimum delivery. I might not ever cook again.

The Lemon Chicken dish is Chicken Katsu, with lemon flavored liquid. Everywhere else has this dish prepared similarly to Orange Chicken. I should have read reviews before ordering
