" El Mandarino quickly became one of my favorite spots! The food is honestly spectacular, tasting very homestyle and authentic. The range of dishes is great, too. I had the pleasure of trying their chicken fried rice and dumplings, and both were to die for! The staff is extraordinarily friendly, which really makes the experience that much better. Every visit has been a treat, and I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting El Mandarino, I found the experience to be quite unique. Watching the chefs work added a special touch to my meal, making me feel more connected to the food. I decided to try their fried rice with chicken and some dumplings. The dumplings were exceptional, but I did find the rice a bit on the saltier side. The staff was friendly and provided good service throughout. Overall, a good place to enjoy a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an interesting experience at El Mandarino recently. Although the food was tasty, I felt that some dishes did not quite hit the mark in terms of authenticity, especially considering I’ve tasted Chinese cuisine in various places. The service was attentive, and I appreciated that the staff was friendly and welcoming. I recommend trying their fried rice but be cautious about the salt level. It was slightly on the salty side for my taste. Overall, a solid place for a quick bite but a bit of room for improvement in terms of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant since moving to the area, and El Mandarino did not disappoint! The food is made fresh right in front of you, which is a fun experience. I tried the classic dumplings and some veggie rolls, and both were delicious. The only downside was the limited seating, so plan your visit during off-peak hours if you don't want to wait. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with friendly service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my dining experience at El Mandarino. The flavors of the dishes absolutely took me back to my travels in Asia! Each dish was crafted with care, and you could tell they emphasize fresh ingredients. The staff were friendly and assisted me promptly. I had the classic dumplings and Hunan chicken; a dreamy combo! This place is highly underrated and deserves more recognition. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Mandarino last week after reading fantastic reviews, and I was not let down! The open kitchen concept allows you to see your food being crafted, which adds to the overall experience. I opted for a combination of dishes, including the veggie fried rice and a stir-fried noodle dish. While the noodle dish was decent, the fried rice was a tad too salty for my liking. Regardless, the ambiance is nice, and the place has a charming vibe. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to try something fresh and tasty! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to El Mandarino has been extraordinary! From the moment you step in, you are greeted with warmth and charm. The chefs are skilled, and you can see them prepare the food right in front of you. The dumplings are unparalleled, and the fried rice has the perfect taste balance. Although seating is limited, I feel it adds to the intimate vibe. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
