Hole in the wall spot. No seating. Food is fairly bland. Crab rangoons are surprisingly stellar. General Gao’s Chicken is not crispy, but the dude told me they weren’t, so that’s on me. Whole meal was $10 so really good deal for lunch.

2nd update.
Things seem better. I will start going again.
Here’s my update:
I waited much longer than I originally intended because I was hopeful the quality would improve. Unfortunately, it hasn’t; in fact, it seems to have gotten worse. Although I don’t have a photo from when the food was great, I did upload a picture of what I’m sadly calling my last meal from Mandarin Pan. I ordered the L4 General Gao with pork fried rice. The rice was almost white, with just five pieces of onion and three tiny chunks of sparerib—completely flavorless. The chicken was 95% filler with slimy dark meat, whereas before, it used to be around 70% chicken and mostly, if not entirely, white meat. I understand it’s basically a chicken nugget, but honestly, it would have been better if it actually was.
Original Post:
I’m puzzled by what’s been happening lately. I’ve been a regular customer here for about 8 years, and up until now, everything was consistently excellent, especially considering the reasonable prices. I used to recommend this place to everyone.
I gave it a chance, hoping my first bad experience was just a one-time thing, but unfortunately, after three separate visits, I can confirm that the food quality has significantly declined. Whenever I come here, I usually order one of two dishes – either an L4 (General Gao with Goons & Fried Rice), or the House Fried Rice.
The fried rice used to be perfectly cooked, with a beautiful golden-brown color and generous toppings. Now, it’s barely fried, with fewer toppings, and the rice itself is only partially cooked, losing all its flavor. Additionally, the chicken, which used to be exclusively white meat with a consistent texture, now seems to have more slimy dark meat, altering both the texture and taste. I’m not sure if this change is due to sourcing issues or if the restaurant is cutting corners to save costs, but whatever the reason, I can no longer enjoy the food here. It’s incredibly disappointing, especially since I used to be a loyal customer, visiting every week or every other week.

Saw someone’s review say “these ragoons are to die for!”. It was definitely a fake review created by this restaurant. I love crab rangoons. These were terrible. Boneless spareribs were just as bad. I might actually get sick. So much regret.

Picture doesn’t do justice. Some places will have one or 2.good items. This place is definitely the best period I’ve had in over 5 years. Everything is good and boneless spareribs the way they should be A+ updated
I ordered again 2x in 3 days

This was my 2nd time trying Mandarin Pan, the 1st time it was average, the 2nd time it was horrible and I ended up throwing away $40 of food, half of it was bland and no flavor and one dish had a strange unidentifiable taste, I felt nauseous all night just from the few bites I had. So disappointing

Take out place only. Disappointed. They prioritized Door dash orders over those picking up. I ordered on new years eve. I won’t make that mistake either. There was no organization. Cooked food was sitting on the counter getting cold. I had to make sure to step up and give my order number twice and offer to pay before someone started putting my order together. I ordered at 530pm and told an hour wait. I said that’s fine. I showed up at 640pm and didn’t leave with any food until 7:10pm and that’s only because I stepped up and again gave my order number to another employee. The only orders ready to go, in brown bags, were clearly labeled for door dash orders. Other people who ordered days ahead of time were also standing there waiting. I got home with my food and most of it was cold, they didn’t include white rice (which I specifically asked if the entrees come with rice and was told yes) and they put shrimp in my order! I didn’t order shrimp fingers. I ordered chicken fingers meal and they mixed shrimp into the order. Thankfully I’m not allergic to shrimp but I don’t eat shrimp ever. I had to microwave my food before eating it. I have no idea how long the food even sat out since I could see, behind the counter, uncovered food was sitting out the entire time 10 of us strangers were standing around waiting for our orders. Only person I saw come in and get an order within 5 minutes was the door dash person. The employee made sure to ask if anyone was there for door dash and prioritized that order.
I went here after not being impressed in the past. I figured I’d give them another try since others posted a positive review on a local group, recently. Next year I’ll be going elsewhere. The food was ok, after reheated, but nothing to risk the disorganized mess again.

I order here often and the food is good but tonight, the spareribs are dried and/or overly cooked.

Great food! We ordered on Christmas Day and not only was the food delicious the delivery was on time! We ordered crab rangoons, spring rolls, house fried rice, orange chicken, lunch combo of chicken fried rice & general chicken as well as some egg drop soup. Everything was still warm and so tasty! The lady who took our order over the phone was very nice and patient with me, and the delivery man was very nice as well.

The woman was uncomfortably rude. Food was not good at all.
