I usually don’t leave reviews (this is my first one) but my friends and I were looking for a place in Santa Cruz to get some good Chinese food and I’m so glad we came to this place! It’s a convenient location right next to a parking garage so you don’t have to waste time to look for parking and it’s honestly a well kept, clean, family restaurant. The food portions are huge so it’s definitely worth it for sure! I ordered the shrimp fried rice and they definitely did not skimp with the shrimp like a lot of other places would. If you want bomb authentic Chinese food in Santa Cruz this is definitely the place to go! If I hadn’t devoured the teriyaki beef I ordered I would’ve uploaded a picture but overall would definitely come back here if I’m in the area! They have great customer service and were quick to make our takeout order which is really nice. Highly recommend for sure!!

Santa Cruz is lacking in good Chinese food but we have found Mandarin Gourmet’s food to be the best by far. Portions are good, taste is good and the owners are very nice people. It’s a regular for us.

Good food, good friendly service, very professional. The windows tables are clean, the portions are big food served fast. Another thing I would like to note is how fresh their rice is. Many restaurants have tough chewy rice, but not here. Also they serve on nice plates, not paper plates like others. A+ all the way around.

alright. some of the dishes were underseasoned, such as the “three mushroom medley” (more of a bok choy dish w/ just 2 different mushrooms). eggplant tofu was pretty tasty, in a spicy tangy gravy.

And anyone who doesn’t give this please five stars obviously, does not know what to order, has horrible, taste in food, or are just downright rude people. I have been going here religiously since the week they opened. The items on the menu that I order I have always been consistent and delicious. I won’t get Chinese food from anywhere else. Service is extremely fast. And they are always friendly.

Lately, I’ve been trying different Chinese food restaurants in Santa Cruz to figure out my favorite Orange Chicken location. I can say that this place is clearly not worth your time for Orange Chicken. The sauce is way too sweet and sticky, and the chicken had darkened and hardened bits on it, as seen in the photo attached. I will not be eating here again.

Combination Fried rice has miniscule pieces of meat, hardly any, and is bland. No steamed rice included with the Sweet and Sour Pork, which is all batter with overcooked dry, hard meat. Gross doughy fried shrimp too. Paid way too much for this non-gourmet meal. Just can’t find decent Chinese Food in Santa Cruz.

We walked in with a large group. Good food, service, and reasonable prices.

The beef and broccoli is delicious, you get massive chunks of tender beef too. Love the lemon and orange chicken and chicken chow mein. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu it’s all delicious.
