Had an order of the Crispy Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce lunch special (~$10): pieces of eggplant cooked in a flavorful sauce over rice served with savory hot & sour soup and deep-fried wonton. Food was delicious, staff was nondescript, and the ambiance was banquet-friendly.
Great. Excellent. The closest thing to N.Y.C. Chinese food. Only wish they had Duck Sauce
Lunch specials are becoming harder and harder to find so when you find a place that not only has a lunch special but has it available 7 days a week (excluding holidays), it is worth a highlight! Mandarin Gourmet delivers with a 4 course lunch special that has a variety of entrée options. Entrées are served family style so the table can easily share dishes. The food comes quickly and the seating is comfortable (choice of booths or tables). The first course are some fried dough with a sweet red dipping sauce. Chinese chicken salad with a peanut dressing is usually served at the same time, followed by a hot and sour soup. Finally the entrée is served with a choice of steamed or fried rice. A fortune cookie rounds off the meal. On this visit, we had the Garlic Eggplant, Tangerine Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns. All were great!
Above average food, same veg used in soup and noodles, different dishes but somehow feel they are repetitive. Great and friendly service. I would agree on a rating of 4.2.
I selected the Special A on the menu: it came with choice of soup, appetizers, and an entree. The appetizer was an egg roll, one fried shrimp, and soup was the Wonton soup. It was fulfilling but nothing spectacular. The shrimp had a pasty taste I didn't care for but the egg roll stole the show. It was crispy and delicious. For my entree: I had the Mandarian Chow Mein with a side of fried rice. It was good. Some of my noodles were burnt but it didn't take away from the flavor of it. They giving you large quantities of food. I ate 1/4 and had to get the rest to go. It was a decent meal for $30 bucks. I'll go again to try something different
When I moved to San Jose I was looking for a good Chinese restaurant. I’m so glad I found Mandarin Gourmet. Excellent restaurant. Strong recommendation.
This is only the second time that I have visited the Mandarin Gourmet Restaurant in 12 years. I had the combination fried rice and honey walnut shrimp. The food was very tasty, the waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was kind on the eyes. The only negative was the hostess. She must have been having a bad day.
Love this place for lunch. Smaller plates but still enough to share for two. Includes soup, salad, won ton strips with sweet and sour sauce, fried rice, hot tea and then you pick your entree. Food is always freshly prepared with delicious sauces that are truley Gourmet! Oh and you can eat there in about 30 min or sometimes less, why settle for a fast food joint when you can get Mandarin Gourmet.
The food is very tasty and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends.
This place never seems to disappoint, the food was delicious, the service friendly. I love to have General Tso's pan friend noodles, this dish makes a great sizzling sound when they add the sauce, meat, and vegetables. This is done right at your table, and tends to get the attention of other guests. You can be selective on what vegetables are in the dish, works out great if you dislike mushrooms like I do. I always add a serving of rice to the meal, as I feel it's a necessity and is not included. The hot and sour soup is also a great addition on a rainy day. They serve a complimentary hot tea, with every meal.
This place probably has the best Chinese food I’ve ever! The staff are really nice and the restaurant always looks amazing! The food is always perfect and I have dined in and done take out! They are never skimpy on the servings. However I have noticed it is a smaller portion to go rather than eating there! If you are in the area check this place out for sure!
This was our first visit.We came for a Celebration of Life luncheon . It was anice room st asose for large groups.The servers were quick and attentive in seving.Since it was our first visit we will return the food was good and family stye choices were also good. It took me back to when I was a kid and we would go for Chinese food as a family with the convenience of a Lazy Susan to pass the dishes around for everyone to serve themselves.
