" I ordered takeout from the Mandarin during a busy week, and I was pleasantly surprised at how fast it was ready. The order was accurate, and the portions were generous for the price. The sesame chicken was sweet and crispy, while my veggie lo mein was flavorful. I will definitely consider them again for future meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Mandarin is a cozy and inviting spot. I often order takeout, and I’ve never had a complaint about the quality. Their orange chicken is consistently good, and I love their veggie spring rolls as a side. The prices are fair, and the portions are just right. Staff is always friendly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I had a disappointing experience at the Mandarin. Initially, we were excited to try the buffet, but they informed us that it isn't available anymore. We decided to order from the menu, but the food left much to be desired. The teriyaki beef was overcooked and lacked flavor. To make matters worse, the service seemed slow, and we had to flag down our server multiple times. I hope they improve these issues because I used to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! The sushi was spectacular; you could taste how fresh and high-quality it was. The combination platter was a treat and totally worth the price. The atmosphere was relaxed with a modern vibe, and the service was friendly and attentive. I would come back here every week if I could! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a large family gathering here, and it was a hit! The private banquet room was perfect for our event. The sushi bar was fantastic, and we loved seeing it being made fresh. Service was excellent, and the food was delicious! They even let us have a cake for our celebration without charging us a fee! The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was definitely a memorable night. I can't recommend it enough for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my sister's birthday party at the Mandarin last week in their private room, and it was perfect! Robert helped us design the menu, and everything went flawlessly. The food was delicious; everyone was raving about the sushi and the dumplings. The service was impeccable, with staff making sure all our needs were met throughout the evening. The only downside was that it was a bit pricey, but entirely worth it for such a special occasion. I would give this place a strong recommendation for events! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Mandarins last week for dinner, and I was blown away by how fresh the sushi was! I tried their spicy tuna roll, and it was fantastic! My friend ordered the Mongolian beef, which was tasty but could’ve had a bit more sauce. The service was friendly, but it took a while to get our check. Overall, I would definitely return as I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was inviting. " (*Curated Review*)
