In our constant quest to find decent take out, we tried mandarin. What terrible food. 4 different dishes on our plate and it all tasted the same. As in no taste. Vegetables old, fried rice tasteless, everything tasteless. No joy here in posting a bad review. ‘Must be hard in the restaurant business, but if you are in it, for gods sake, make a decent product. This was just bad, bad food.

We loved it here! We heard from friends that live nearby and have been here many times that they have good food (they love the scallion pancakes and string beans with garlic sauce) and fun cocktails so decided to try it out. We got the Scorpion Bowl and the Hot and Dirty for drinks. The Scorpion Bowl was excellent! The Hot and Dirty was a little too spicy for my taste but kept trying it. Partway into our meal, I ended up getting a dirty martini and adding a splash of the hot and dirty to it and loved that… we offered to pay for both because it really just came down to my own personal taste but the waiter insisted not to charge us! We got the Szechuan Spicy dumplings for an app and they were amazing! For dinner, we got the Singapore Mei Fun, Beef with ginger scallion, and Chili Shrimp. Everything was sooooo good!! Thinking back now, I think the dumplings and shrimp were supposed to be spicy and were not that spicy but it didn’t matter and we didn’t even notice at the time because it was so good! Also, the place is nice inside and our waiter was so friendly! We had a great experience!

Great takeout! Had the beef & broccoli, beef chow fun, and 3 mushrooms & bok choy - all were excellent. It's been a long time since I've had beef chow fun, and this place made me remember why I love it so much. Definitely will be ordering from here again.

To be honest, the place is gorgeous and the bartender is so freaking nice but the food is not good. I’ve heard multiple people say it and I didn’t really wanna believe it because of how nice the place looks and how nice the people were in the store, but it was just not that good. My friend got noodles and barely ate it and I felt really bad because I recommended the spot because it looks really good. I will come here to get really drunk but other than that I wouldn’t come here to get food I would come here to get drunk. I was very disappointed, I think that they need to fix the flavoring of other dishes and maybe it’s like to better meats. For the prices, you should be getting a awesome dish of noodles with excellent meats, but I got a dish and it made me incredibly sick and I know a lot of people who have felt this way about this restaurant.
