Mandarin House

Solid 4 star. We had the Hunan beef combo plate and sweet and sour pork combo plate. Both came with fried rice and an egg roll. Very tasty, hot, and enough to take home leftovers. We beat the dinner rush, so we got served quickly. If they had the fried bananas that were on the menu it would have received 5 stars.

I recently visited this Chinese restaurant and was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The menu had a great variety of dishes to choose from, and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, with beautiful decor and comfortable seating. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic Chinese dining experience.

Not sure why my wife and I hadn't been aware of this place earlier, but is our new go-to for Chinese food, even though a bit further from home than our recent previous choice. We started with Crab Puffs and Pan Fried Dumpling (pot stickers). (Pleasantly surprised that appetizers arrived before mains.) The Crab Puffs had a very slightly sweet filling and lovely bubbly crispy wrappers. They were served with a sweet/sour sauce that had a nice flavor and was not thickened, so just the right amount stayed on the bite. The Pan Fried Dumplings had slightly thicker dumpling wrappers than we prefer, but they had good texture and flavor. The bottoms were nicely browned and crispy, with no burnt spots. The filling was very flavorful and delicious. A winner. We added some hot chili sauce from the jar at the table to the dipping sauce, and got a nice bit of heat added to the already great flavor. Mains were Chili Chicken (#18 under "Chicken") and Changsha Chicken (#5 under "House Special"). We had them served with BBQ Pork Fried Rice. The Chili Chicken is described as "Diced chicken dry sautéed with chili and green onion". We were torn between that and the one above that says it's deep fried because we were in the mood for not-deep-fried. Turns out that Chili Chicken *is* deep fried. But it was delicious. Nice and crunchy and spicy and sweet. Figuring that it would not re-heat as well as the Changsha Chicken, I had just my first portion of the latter and concentrated on eating most of the Chili Chicken. The Changsha Chicken is described as "white meat chicken sautéed w/cilantro in garlic sauce wrapped with aluminum foil paper". Aluminum foil paper is what I grew up calling aluminum foil. Nicely presented as a fairly large aluminum foil pouch, sliced open at the table and served. Lovely sauce surrounding tender chicken with sprigs of fresh cilantro mixed in. Delightful. The BBQ Pork Fried Rice was the best we've had in quite a while. Rice was light and fluffy. The BBQ Pork had very good flavor and texture, and the whole dish had a flavor that was good in itself and a nice complement to the other dishes. Before this, the recent fried rice dishes we've had elsewhere we've wanted to take home to fix. This one, we took home to eat with our other leftovers as is. Servers were very pleasant and helpful, and apologetic about the menu confusion on the Chili Chicken being deep fried, trying to get us to send it back and get what we wanted. But we *liked* the Chili Chicken, so kept it. Towards the end of the meal, I noticed that we never got our hot tea, but that was really the only service problem. As I said at the top, this is our new place for Chinese food. My wife will likely be sending me here for "to go" frequently.

Good food and they can work with soy allergies! Lots of options and since it is made fresh, you can have them make dishes without soy! I love their wonton soup and sweet & sour pork. Will be trying more dishes in the future.

Absolutely the best Mandarin Chinese food I've had in the last 10 years. The service was fast polite and food was delivered very quickly. I highly recommend the Kung Pao chicken with hot and sour soup! It was extremely tasty without being overly spicy.
