This place is pricey. I paid 45.00 for two different dishes that tasted exactly the same. They were both bland and very oily. I had the sliced pork with mushrooms and the mandarin beef. They both smelled weird. I will never eat here ever again. Panda is better and I’m not a fan of their food. My house smells like burnt cat now.

Eating Local! A favorite. There’s no wait; it’s good food – fresh and tasty; and great service!! Not to forget – cloth napkins make you feel at home.

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have always been more than pleased with the service as well as the food. I am not one to leave negative reviews, however the past several time I have been here I have experienced issues. Incorrect items on to-go orders, wait times exceedingly long. About a week or so ago I took my mother here for dinner at 4:30 we waited 30 minutes for a bowl of soup another 25 minutes later for an appetizer. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we were there, started to fill up around 5:30. An hour and a half into our evening I asked the young lady if they forgot we ordered entrees. She responded with we only have 1 cook. I then asked to take the food to go as we had waited so long. Then after confirming all of the items were in the bag so we could leave, I thought I had better check. They were not all there. 3 stars for the fabulous food and kind staff. Please fix these issues as I want to stay a loyal customer.

The vegetable delight was very good. Also tried the fried green beans which were good. When I was there the service was a bit slow. Got our appetizers a few minutes after the food was brought out. But the server was friendly and enjoyed our meal.

This is not the original Mandarin Restaurant that closed. It is now open, but not the original owners, nor food. The food we had today, 4/13/24 was no where near the freshness, the preparation, nor the taste of the original Mandarin. The menu is different. The worst item I had were the garlic noodles. It had to have been cooked on the grill. It tasted like butter and charcoal. Inside of the container even had the black char on it. No garlic flavor. I will not be ordering from there again.

We have found our go to family outing restaurant! Our children rated The Mandarin a 10 out of 10!! So in their words “they are an A+ restaurant”. Their staff was awesome,… they were very funny friendly warm and welcoming they really made our experience amazing! Now for the food its self, one word… delicious! Every bite was flavorful and scrumptious. We will most definitely be back!

The service.
I called ahead and left work early to catch them open. It was my first time trying their Singapore Noodles. I had tons of questions as a very pleasant young woman got them all answered. I showed up and I was rather impressed at how elegant yet welcoming this place is. When I first walked in I was a bit unsure where the proper place for pick up was. I was greeted with a smile and excellent service as they were expecting me. The order was piping hot and ready. So sorry I forgot her name but she welcomed me back another time and I can’t wait to try those award winning Mai Tai she spoke of. You Nailed customer service. ( I’ll update yr name later)
The Food.
Mike did an excellent job of explaining the Singapore noodle dish. My late hubby introduced me to this dish and this place did an excellent job of preparing, best in Sacramento/ Carmichael that I’ve had. Fresh items too.
I expected bigger prawns though, not salad shrimp. I added one spice of my own. I’m a cook too.
As for the Egg Foo Young… PERFECT. ( That is not easily done.) Personally, I would smooth the lumps a bit more in the gravy and if you like the gravy part of this, I suggest Order extra.( Expect to pay.) Its common.
PLUS
IT TASTED BETTER THE NEXT DAY. Even the eggs tasted freshly cooked still. HATS OFF TO THE MANDARIN RESTAURANT

I can’t believe there are actually people on here giving this place bad reviews. Probably just complete stuck up snobs. I loved everything about this place! The atmosphere was pleasant and calming, it was clean, the staff was nice, our waitress was SO sweet and friendly, the food was INCREDIBLE. First off, you get HUGE portions, which is great because one order of something will serve 3-4 people easily. Me and my boyfriend got an order of shrimp fried rice and an order of the lemon chicken. It took less than 10 minutes to get to us, so they’re very fast over there too! After we had completely stuffed ourselves, we had PLENTY to take home for another whole meal. This place is AMAZING and we will surely be back many many more times. I have NOTHING bad to say about this place 🙂

Absolutely the worst “Chinese food” I’ve ever had!
We’ve ordered the Mongolian beef and their “customer favorite” garlic shrimp. To our amazement, they both tasted the same – super sweet!!! I can’t taste anything but sweet, and I even added soy sauce – which I never do, and it was still super sweet!
We told the waitress that the food was too sweet, she took them back to the kitchen and came back with them “remade”, but it was just the same food reheated with a lot of chili sauce!! Unbelievable…
And it was $40!!!
Service was great. But that doesn’t make up for the high price and terrible taste. Don’t understand how it has 4 stars. Please avoid!!!
