" I recently visited Mandarin Kitchen and I must say, the dim sum is indeed some of the best in the Twin Cities. I brought a group and we tried almost everything on the menu! The food was authentic and well-prepared. They also offer an impressive selection of seafood dishes, which is great for those who love fresh flavors. However, we found the pricing a bit steep for the portions served. The service was friendly but could be a bit faster during busy times. Overall, I would recommend it for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, we finally decided to try out Mandarin Kitchen. It did not disappoint! The dim sum served on carts was a delightful surprise. The flavors were authentic, especially in the steamed buns—the BBQ pork ones were just amazing. Crowded, like most good Asian restaurants, but the service was attentive despite the busy atmosphere. It's worth the price, I highly recommend! Can’t wait to return on a weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Mandarin Kitchen is always a treat! They have this fantastic fried shrimp dish that I can't get enough of. The restaurant itself feels really homey, with a touch of class. I do wish there were a few more staff on duty during busy nights since it can get hectic, but the food is reliable and comforting. The dim sum cart was a nice touch! I'll surely continue coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had heard great things about Mandarin Kitchen and their dim sum, my recent experience fell a little flat. The ambiance was inviting, and the food we had was undoubtedly fresh, but we found some dishes to be overly salty. Particularly, the salt and pepper squid did not meet my expectations. The service was decent but nothing too special. I may give it another chance, since I heard that other dishes are better, but I'm in no hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by after hearing great reviews, and the hype is real! The variety and freshness of the dim sum were outstanding. I enjoyed the fried taro dumplings the most, and my partner loved the pork buns. It was slightly pricey, but worth it for the quality. The service was friendly but could have been a bit faster during peak hours. I’m definitely looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mandarin Kitchen is a fantastic gem. We went for a celebratory brunch, and the dim sum was beyond our expectations. The attention to detail in the flavors gave me a strong feeling of authenticity. Each bite felt special, especially the shrimp dumplings. Yes, it was crowded, but that reminded us of the great Asian restaurants back home. Would definitely recommend going early to beat the crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" This dim sum spot has a charm that feels both authentic and inviting. The dishes are presented on carts, which adds to the fun experience. I had the pan-fried dumplings, and they were excellent! The only downside was the wait time on weekends—it can be quite long! However, the food quality is unparalleled, and the atmosphere feels alive with chatter. A perfect way to spend a Sunday brunch. I recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Asian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
