Customer Reviews
The servers go out of their way to assist. Constantly refilling our waters (orange infused). The servings are family portions so price is actually fair. They have tasty Yelping…Chicken. Green beans chicken (needed a little bit more salt but still very delicious) also love the dessert soup. The place looks clean and they clean the benches also. They have great …
Such a nice restaurant, with incredibly professional and attentive staff. Their food was so amazingly delicious!! We got pork and bell pepper, Mongolian beef, dan dan noodles, roasted green beans, scallion pancakes, and pork potstickers. They were all sooooo good. The inside is also very fancy and nice, there's tablecloths, and two different floors to eat at. I highly recommend …
Fantastic Chinese food! We ordered the honey walnut prawns, eggplant in spicy sauce, Szechuan-style chicken, twice-cooked pork, and sweet & sour soup, and every dish was delicious. Great service, great atmosphere, and we’ll definitely be returning.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Surprise Find with Fresh Seafood and Big Flavors I found The Mandarin by accident while passing through Menlo Park — and it ended up being one of the best meals of my trip. The spot prawn was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. You could tell it was live just moments before it hit the plate — sweet, juicy, …
This place was so wonderful to have our family dinner here. Everything was 10/10. The food... omg... Delicious. We were all pleased with this experience. Our waiter Julie she was very sweet and helpful. We left happy and very satisfied.
The food is great. All the seafoods are fresh and well cooked. The price is pretty high.
I recently started coming back again as they started their wine bar program. Food is always authentic and amazing but happy that they started opening later offering great wines for their wine bar. The owner even came by to offer some amazing wines! One of the few places that is open late in Menlo to hang out in.
Really nice experience here with my family! Good - each dish was high quality - especially like the honey walnut prawns and the tomato egg noodles - very savory and crunchy - The portion sizes are large! Super full at the end - The waiters are really nice and friendly especially if you speak Chinese - super quiet and good …
we order five dishes, all of them are good. the spicy sichuan boiled fish: if using live fish, it will be even better; the crab sauce tofu, my kids love it; the duck, my son loves it. The bull frog and mixed vegetable are also perfect. It just takes some time for the frog to be ready . would definitely …
Went with a group of 10+ people for a weekday lunch in this restaurant. As a start, we ordered the popular Chinese tea smoked duck and the honey walnut shrimp among others (spicy dishes were mostly avoided as most of us are not comfortable with eating spicy stuff). Service provided was impeccable and the restaurant atmosphere was also nice and …
