We dined at Mandarin Gourmet in San Jose with a group of seven people. We ordered five main dishes to share family-style and soup for everyone.
The food was excellent. Every dish was flavorful, well prepared, and nicely presented. Portions were generous and perfect for sharing, and overall the quality of the food really stood out.
The only downside was the service. The staff was polite, but service was noticeably slow.
Overall, a very good place for Chinese food. I would definitely return for the excellent food.

Very nice traditional Restaurant that is family orientated. The food was good and plentiful. I would suggest that they chop up the peppers so the food can be hotter rather than the whole peppers, but other than that the flavor was great.

One of the best Chinese spots in the Bay! Always a go to when in the mood for Chinese & on the southside. I’ve never had anything here I didn’t like! Service is always so nice! Love coming here!! The portions are huge & served family style.

Came here with a larger group for an impromptu Christmas lunch, as our plans changed due to a storm. They took us right in and we had a wonderful lunch. The food and service were great. I’ve driven by this restaurant for years and happy I finally had a chance to visit. Thank you Mandarin Gourmet for saving our Christmas!

I’ve been coming here for years now, but unfortunately the prices are way too expensive. $141 for 3 people. The prices are driving us away because they aren’t reasonable.
The quality of the food has been the same to me, so I’m not too sure why other reviews said it’s changed. Portions are still generous and more than enough! The ambiance is nothing special and the bathrooms need a lot of work. Behind the toilets were gross and the faucets are extremely outdated.
This place probably has the best Chinese food I’ve ever! The staff are really nice and the restaurant always looks amazing! The food is always perfect and I have dined in and done take out! They are never skimpy on the servings. However I have noticed it is a smaller portion to go rather than eating there! If you are in the area check this place out for sure!

Have been going here for over 20 years.
It’s a core memory that my brother and I go here with our father. We used to go a lot more frequently in highschool but as adults we are living in different counties so we still go there occasionally but just not frequently like we did when we were kids. We are adults now in our 40s. Been going here since we were 13-14yr old. We went here a year ago or something. Still has great food. Might come again this week w my daughter. Always delivers good food to the table. Never disappointed.

Best and most delicious Chow Mein ever, cooked to utter perfection with the utmost gorgeous texture.

Lunch specials are becoming harder and harder to find so when you find a place that not only has a lunch special but has it available 7 days a week (excluding holidays), it is worth a highlight! Mandarin Gourmet delivers with a 4 course lunch special that has a variety of entrée options. Entrées are served family style so the table can easily share dishes. The food comes quickly and the seating is comfortable (choice of booths or tables). The first course are some fried dough with a sweet red dipping sauce. Chinese chicken salad with a peanut dressing is usually served at the same time, followed by a hot and sour soup. Finally the entrée is served with a choice of steamed or fried rice. A fortune cookie rounds off the meal. On this visit, we had the Garlic Eggplant, Tangerine Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns. All were great!

I have done take out twice now.
We fell in love with garlic eggplant. They use the long Asian eggplants which come out firm not mushy. The flavor is also superior to the common eggplant you find in conventional supermarkets. I find the eggplant-y flavor too intense but these come out much milder. You have to go to an ethnic market for these. I know how to make these at home but it’s a huge hassle. You pan or deep fry them first then sauté/stir fry.
We also loved the lemon chicken which was seared/fried and you pour lemon sauce on top. Normally I expect the sauce already added to the fried chicken but they probably put the sauce on the side so the chicken survived takeout.
The Mongolian beef tasted great but we felt it was under spiced. We did find some of the whole red chilies but even our Americanized tastebuds could have taken more.
The white rice was nicely done. We were hoping for brown rice but they stuck with the classic. There was plenty of it and we were glad we only got one order for the two of us.
The ubiquitous packets of soy sauce not in any way memorable.
The yellow mustard was quite strong in the way horse radish is strong. Really cleaned the sinuses.
All I can say about the fortune cookie is they don’t live up to my childhood memories. Even the quality of the fortunes has deteriorated. We just skipped those.
You do get a lot of food. The two of us split an entree and a veggie . We had to save some room for the eggrolls. Mom’s eggrolls would blow these out of the water. They should be ashamed. A quality fry doesn’t save an eggroll stuffed with cheap supermarket veg.
Mom’s eggroll recipe;
For the stuffing
Dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and sliced
Mung bean sprouts , roots and head plucked
Long stripes of pork sliced thin then stirfried and seasoned with soy sauce and Shiaoshing wine.
Bamboo shoots sliced thin and long
Eggrolls were invented to use up leftovers so you can add bit of what you like.
But if you decide to stuff it with guacamole or pizza toppings…
Don’t call it an eggroll
Don’t tell me about it.
And if you do tell me please strew some pillows strategically because I don’t want a concussion when I faint.
Used a beaten egg on the wrapper to hold the eggroll together.
Pan fry in a wok. The oil level should slightly over 1/2 the eggroll. Fry to a light tan if you plan to reheat and fry again. Fry to a nice deep golden brown to serve immediately.
Mom always used the thick eggroll wrappers because she over stuffed her eggroll. This gets you a rural eggroll.But you can use the thin ones so fashionable and citified.
The order arrived very quickly courtesy of Uber Eats.
They have a tight window between the order and delivery. Be prepared to receive it quickly.

I have gotten the same to go order here every couple of months for several years. The food was good and consistent. The last order was the last time I’ll order from here. The price has gone up substantially and the portions are all in smaller containers. The owners have obviously become complacent. Too bad.
