Wonderful family who owns this restaurant.Food is always fresh and it’s more traditional and less New York style fast food style Chinese.They have traditional Asian dishes as well as the more westernized dishes.Once again, everything’s fresh.The best Chinese/Taiwanese style food in the area.

Definitely a waste of 17.54$ the chicken was mostly battered and the rice had no flavor.. had to drench it in soy sauce. Anyways definitely a 3/10... nice waiter tho.

To the Owners of Mandarin Cafe. My name is John Brock and I was at your restaurant yesterday. I pick up a to go order and I lost my wallet and your restaurant was the last place I used it. I am hoping you may have found it. I was sitting in the chairs at the check out. I know you don't reopen until Tuesday but this is so important to me. Could someone please contact me? Thank you so much! This was the email that I sent Mandarin Cafe. The owner, on her day off got up and went to the restaurant and looked for my wallet and called me to let me know that she looked inside and outside and was unable to locate wallet. She told me that she would be praying for me to locate my wallet. She said you should look again before reporting wallet lost.
To make a long story short, I went back to where I had already looked. I found it where it should not have been.

Decided to get Mandarin Cafe this evening and definitely feel like it was a waste. The “Fried Rice” they call it is a complete joke. It’s literally boiled white rice with mixed vegetables and eggs added to it. It didn’t seem like the rice touched the frying pan. That had to be the blandest “fried rice” ever. The sweet and sour chicken had pineapple chunks, carrots and bell peppers with it which is fine but they didn’t add anything to the chicken flavor wise. The only thing that was good was the egg roll. My sprite was even flat. My girlfriend had the Mongolian beef and I’m literally watching her pick through this as I’m typing the complaint. If I could give 0 stars I definitely would. The lady at the front desk was the best thing about my visit there. Great customer service.
We were seated very quickly the staff was very friendly the restaurant was very clean we were waited on promptly the food was delicious especially love the General Tso's chicken we will be

Nice interior. Great service. Food was hot and fresh. Loved the wonton soup but General Tso's chicken was lacking flavor. Side rice and egg roll, the same.

Huge portions sizes, friendly staff and a very cool atmosphere. They offer a wide range of dishes from a variety of Asian cultures. The best hot and sour soup I’ve ever had. Plenty of seating and space in between parties.Vegetarian options: Tons of mixed veggie options with different sauces.
Traditional egg drop soup is amazing. I was almost full just from that, but I also ordered from the Korean menu (spicy cold noodles, K5). Super delicious but to be fair I was expecting something else. Not disappointed though! Love this place, great lunch portions and prices.

This was my daughter's favorite place to eat. I continue to honor her memory, and have special meals on her birthday, angelversary and 3rd Saturday each month. #Flyhighjaybug
Hot and sour soup was substandard. The food was adequate but I've had much better Chinese. The egg roles were wonderful, best thing we had.
