Lunch specials are becoming harder and harder to find so when you find a place that not only has a lunch special but has it available 7 days a week (excluding holidays), it is worth a highlight! Mandarin Gourmet delivers with a 4 course lunch special that has a variety of entrée options. Entrées are served family style so the table can easily share dishes. The food comes quickly and the seating is comfortable (choice of booths or tables). The first course are some fried dough with a sweet red dipping sauce. Chinese chicken salad with a peanut dressing is usually served at the same time, followed by a hot and sour soup. Finally the entrée is served with a choice of steamed or fried rice. A fortune cookie rounds off the meal. On this visit, we had the Garlic Eggplant, Tangerine Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns. All were great!

Restaurant used to be excellent, but quality has really suffered in recent years. Often cornstarch slurry used to thicken sauces has been half cooked. And meat is tough. Very disappointing I keep giving it another chance every year or so, but it continues on a downward fall.

Food is usually decent to good but the service is horrible literally had a waiter yell at us today no discount no nothing no sorry. Prices have gone up over the years for lunch specials not really worth it anymore I’d advise to go somewhere else.

This is only the second time that I have visited the Mandarin Gourmet Restaurant in 12 years. I had the combination fried rice and honey walnut shrimp. The food was very tasty, the waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was kind on the eyes. The only negative was the hostess. She must have been having a bad day.

Love this restaurant sometimes they have there off days.. today was one of those days…. Opened at 11 but when we arrived cleaners where still mopping floors . The cleaning lady greeted us with a smile. The manager looked upset when she seen us and quickly turned around and told the lady not to leave the door open next time because people can walk in..she waved her hand at the lady and said just hurry up! She turned then turned to us and said give me a min they are still cleaning. So we waited 5 min and then she sat us. Wonton strips where cold and not crunchy like they usually are. Salad was ok (I’m usually obsessed with the salad I can eat mine plus my daughters ) my food was good I ordered the Mongolian beef w/fried rice

This was our first visit.We came for a Celebration of Life luncheon . It was anice room st asose for large groups.The servers were quick and attentive in seving.Since it was our first visit we will return the food was good and family stye choices were also good. It took me back to when I was a kid and we would go for Chinese food as a family with the convenience of a Lazy Susan to pass the dishes around for everyone to serve themselves.

I selected the Special A on the menu: it came with choice of soup, appetizers, and an entree. The appetizer was an egg roll, one fried shrimp, and soup was the Wonton soup. It was fulfilling but nothing spectacular. The shrimp had a pasty taste I didn’t care for but the egg roll stole the show. It was crispy and delicious. For my entree: I had the Mandarian Chow Mein with a side of fried rice. It was good. Some of my noodles were burnt but it didn’t take away from the flavor of it. They giving you large quantities of food. I ate 1/4 and had to get the rest to go. It was a decent meal for $30 bucks. I’ll go again to try something different

They have so many delicious choices on the menu that I have a hard time deciding what to order. I have enjoyed everything I’ve ever ordered here.
