" We visited Royal Mandarin on a recommendation from a friend, and it did not disappoint! The service was fast, and our meals came out quickly. The salt and pepper wings were heavenly! However, I was a bit disappointed that the fried rice lacked flavor. All in all, it was a great dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" A family favorite! Royal Mandarin never fails to impress us with their salt and pepper wings and amazing service. Each time we've visited, we've encountered cheerful and prompt staff.

" I had lunch at Royal Mandarin, and it was quite a cozy experience! The salt and pepper wings were a highlight, but I found the fried rice a bit too oily. Nevertheless, it was good for a quick bite and filled me up without breaking the bank. I will likely visit again, especially for their lunch specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal at Royal Mandarin! The salt and pepper chicken wings were extremely crispy, and I loved the flavor! We also tried the chicken curry, which had a distinct and delicious taste. The portions are huge, definitely worth the price. Great service completed our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good overall experience, but I must say, we went on a busy day, and it was a little chaotic. The salt and pepper chicken wings lived up to expectations. The shrimp fried rice was decent too, though I would have liked more shrimp. I believe the value for the portion was alright, but the atmosphere felt slightly cramped at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Royal Mandarin serves decent food with lots of variety. The salt and pepper wings are their star dish for a reason—they were crispy and delicious! However, I found the fried rice to be a bit bland. The service was speedy, which was appreciated. It’s a solid choice for a quick bite, especially if you’re looking for something familiar. " (*Curated Review*)

" The salt and pepper wings are so good, I can’t get enough! I ordered takeout and was impressed by how quickly it came. The wings were crispy and flavorful as always! The fried rice was okay, but the portion sizes were generous. Highly recommend for anyone who loves classic Chinese food and is in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
