Best Chinese in the MD part of the DMV for sure. Chicken and broccoli is always delicious—not matter if it’s delivered or just picked up by me. Can’t recommend them

I paid $60 for dinner from Mandarin today , and it came with a dead cockroach on it. Before my husband realized, my kids and I had consumed a few. They must confirm that their food safety standards are up to part. Never again will I eat

Placed a to go pickup order for general tso chicken for my niece and pad thai for myself. Unfortunately we were both disappointed in our meals. I only took a photo of my shrimp pad thai, didn’t get one of her chicken. The pad thai looks nothing like any pas thai I’ve ever had, the sauce, flavor and color was all wrong, and they definitely didn’t use rice noodles…they were very soggy. I decided to try this place hoping it would be better than my regular takeout place, but it wasn’t, and I definitely wouldn’t order from here again.

Solid Chinese takeout and carry out food in the downtown Silver Spring area! Did takeout from this restaurant the other for a late lunch and glad I did. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. I ordered a General Tso's Lunch Special and a Sweet n' Sour Soup. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ordered and ready right on time; roughly 10 minutes from the time I walked in and placed the order. Not sure with what the food would look like as this was my first time coming here, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The General Tso's Chicken was still piping hot even after driving back home for about 15 minutes. And, most of all not soggy or mushy!.... something I can't stand when ordering takeout!! The plate and servings were hefty and quite generous. The chicken was a mixed between white and dark meat. It was seasoned just right and so crispy, even after sitting in the container for my drive back home. The General Tso sauce was very tasty as well. My only gripe is that the dish comes with fried rice and I am not sure with what's up with most of the carryouts around the DMV, but a lot of them served this yellow - orangish fried rice that is not the most appealing to me, but I must honestly admit....it was dang good. Lol. I prefer a more wok-charred, brown fried rice over the neon fried rice served here and other places around the DMV. The Hot n' Sour soup gets a thumbs-up and good marks from my end. It was tangy, spicy, and sweet all roll into one. A delicious bowl of tofu, mushrooms, tamarind, and spices that aim to please. In all, Mandarin Restaurant is a solid option when in the Downtown Silver Spring Area and you are looking for something good to eat. The owner was very pleasant and he greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. His wife was very friendly as well and made sure I had all the proper fixings I needed to complete my dish; including my request for extra soy sauce and hot chili oil which complimented and elevated both dishes very well. If it wasn't for the neon orange looking fried rice, I probably would've given this place five stars as a first impression. Also, they could've served more broccoli in the dish than the two pieces that I received Lol -- see pic as receipts. The restaurant itself has limited seating but it appeared to be a popular takeout service with most that came in and patroned the place. A decent winner in my book and will definitely be back to try out other dishes.

Just moved to the area and have been missing my old favourite family owned Chinese takeaway spot, and decided to branch out. This is definitely gunna be my new spot. Everything tastes so fresh and the oil is clean for the fried food. There’s fresh scallions in the crab rangoon, and great portions for a great price, including a fresh orange slice in our orange chicken. I forgot that I’m living close to DC again and they serve the drinks in the large soup containers around here, and a win is a win is a win because not only did we unexpectedly get a free one because we bought over 30$ of food, but I’m also missing the ones I saved and reused from my old spot. Customer service is also 5 stars when I called about a mixup. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

I drive from College Park to get takeout from here. That's how good this place is! There are a couple of Chinese takeout places near me, but they aren't that good and not to mention too expensive for the quality. Everything I've ordered from here was delicious. Reminds me of the takeout places in New York city (hard to beat NYC). The egg drop soup is absolutely superb ✨️ and the best I've had! I love the shrimp egg rolls, fried rice, and Singaporean noodles. You can't beat the prices here. I wouldn't even be mad paying more here, lol. Highly recommend.

Did takeout from this restaurant. Got black bean chicken, seseme chicken, and chicken nuggets with fries. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ready right on time. Restaurant has limited seating but it appeared takeout was common.

Was looking for a Chinese restaurant for dinner on Christmas Day. The phone call was a little strange when I asked whether I needed a reservation. I did make one. When I got there, there was a line of cars at the curb with their hazard lights blinking-- I surmised that it was people waiting for takeout. When we went inside, it turned out to be a very small place with about six tables for two, and the people sitting at the tables we're waiting for takeout. Well, we ordered something, the people were very nice, and the food was good. I had my favorite moo shu pork, and my friend had a vegetarian dish with tofu. Surprisingly, they did not serve hot tea, a first for me in a Chinese restaurant. Anyway, it was very small, not fancy, to say the least, but there just aren't that many places to go to to eat out on Christmas, and it was fine for us. I would recommend it for takeout, though, not for dining in.Vegetarian options: My friend enjoyed what she ordered. I had pork.
